| − | I tried terraforming to see what it would do and for 32k in credits approximate on a planet of size 127 or so it would raise the fields by 5 pts. and nothing else was affected from initial plans. It waited for approval which I did not go ahead with.

| − | A planet with 170ish fields might be a good candidate, but 50k+ in credits for five additional fields is crazy overpriced. I wouldn't worry about it unbalancing the game too much; people with credits will still find it more economical to re-colonize. I suspect this is an endgame ability to be used when, say, your home planet needs just a few more fields to squeeze in the foundry or something.

| − | Blue Frog made this comment about it:

| − | | |
| − | :''"I think you and everyone else complaining about the large cost of upgrading an already huge planet are missing the point. You'll never fill a 306 field planet, or even a 206, so why would you terraform it? If we based the price such that it were affordable for a 300 field planet, which nobody would ever terraform, it would be way too cheap for a 150 field planet which will be terraformed frequently.''

| − | :''We're just now getting to the point where people are filling their home worlds (163 fields) after the game has been live for exactly 4 months. And since buildings cost exponentially more with each level, you'd have to play for probably at least a year just to fill a 185 slot (assuming you're not intentionally doing stuff to overbuild like Factory lvl 10).''

| − | :''The price for upgrading your home world is about 53k credits. That's been fairly common already."''

| − | | |
| − | Can this increase a planet's size beyond 320? I heard that was the max base size.
| |
| − | :Why would you want to? See the above comments by BFG. --[[User:Rob|Rob]] 20:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

| − | Because I'm rich and bored. The question is not why should I do it, but whether it can be done. The information is to keep the wiki thorough.

Cost
Other pages (Fields, Building, etc) indicate that the cost for terraforming depends on the number of fields already on the planet, so that terraforming a small planet would be fairly inexpensive, but terraforming a larger planet would be more expensive. Someone should verify which information is correct.
Lottery
I won a terraform in the Lottery, but cannot seem to use it. I know that planets with more than 320 fields cannot be colonized, but is there an upper limit to how many fields you can add to a planet by terraforming?
