So today i just got my Planetary Construction to Gaia, and am trying to Terraform my planet.

So I set my planet to terraform to Gaia, but then i forgot to switch my terraform to 100%.,
so then i set my terraform to 100%, but now it says that my planet can't terraform because it'll take 30 days plus??? whattt?

With 100% terraform, i should be able to reach a gaia planet within 3 days max from planet stage 1, without any terraforming facilities (.i.e -5%). Hopefully someone can explain this, as i always get errors with this planet thing when chaning the %'s , which is why im starting to get scared to touch my planet because i dont want to mess it up lol. Any explanation?

I contacted Emi, but i know it'll take a while, and in that time he takes to respond, my planet could've been terraforming!
Grrrr!!!

Terraforming always has an opportunity cost of at least a quarter trillion credits, regardless of research. I'd say the minimum colonist count for gaia in 30 days is, at least 100 bill, even with 80% terraforming.

ohhh!! lol it depends on number of colonists also...maybe that's why, qe you always have a way of explaining it right! ill try it out and let every1 know how it goes

Terraform needs production just like mining. In order to have a good terraform time, your planet has to have colonists, at least 20 bil I think. Then set the terraform production to 100%. If you just bought the colonists and want to have a better terraform timer, set production to credits and then back to terraform. That should update the timer.
