Using your queue, it seems that I am wasting resources building mines when I should be doing minimum terraforming. I can understand the viability of building factories as they pay for themselves, but I do not understand mines because they will be almost useless until the planet is green. If my mines cost 3 resources each and I build 33 of them then I will have spent enough resources to terraform 1%. If I had spent the resources on terraforming I would be cutting my population losses every year and the growth (or lack of loss) would compound.

Perhaps you can explain your suggestion a little better to me, I am just not understanding it now.



You want a lot of factories, but if you don't have germ on your planet than build mines, and they provide more germ again so you can start building your factories again ...

I usually don't terra reds/yellows untill I can't build/use more factories. On a red planet the population doesn't die as fast as on a green that is overcrowded. Once you get the world turning green your pop starts dieing faster so you need to have plenty of resources to cranck up the terra fast and you need factories for that.

Best is to drop enough germ on the planet so they can build their max amount of factories, than let them switch to terra, that way they can skip minebuilding.

And of course it also depends on the mineral concentrations ...
