| - Terraforming is the process of modifying a planet's environment to make it more like Earth's. Longterm terraforming efforts on Mars and Venus have been proposed. The process of modifying an entire planet is called geoforming, while the modification of a star would be called solarforming.
- Terraforming was the science of reshaping a planet to the specific needs of its new inhabitants.
- The process of modifying a planet's environment to more closely match that of Earth, opening the door for human settlement. Mars, Earth's closest neighbor, would require an estimated 1,000 years or more to terraform, making it preferable to select a planet already close to Earth's type that would support human life with a minimum of time and modification. The advent of interplanetary travel after 2087 led people to consider transmigration outside of Earth's solar system, opening up the range of exploration to planets within ten or so light years away.
- Terraforming (entlehnt vom lateinischen terra und (lateinisch-)englischen forming für die „[Um-]Bildung zur [Ersatz-]Erde“ oder kurz „Erdumbildung“) ist die Umformung von anderen Planeten in bewohnbare erdähnliche Himmelskörper mittels zukünftiger Techniken. Planeten oder Monde sollen so umgestaltet werden, dass darauf menschliches Leben mit geringem oder ohne zusätzlichen technischen Aufwand möglich wird. Der Begriff geht auf den Science-Fiction-Roman Collision Orbit von Jack Williamson aus dem Jahre 1942 zurück und wurde später von der Wissenschaft aufgegriffen.
- The users can change a planet, moon, or other celestial bodies into a new environment by terraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping"), ie. deliberately modifying its atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology to be similar to the biosphere of Earth or other habitable worlds, in order to make it habitable to other species.
- Terraform was a word for the deliberate alteration of a planet's atmosphere and ecology to create an environment suited to human life. The word came from the Latin word Terra, meaning Earth.
- Terraforming is a crucial aspect of the United Colonial Nations colonization efforts, as it allows people to freely explore and settle a planet without succumbing to the planet's atmospheric anomalies. Some of the best examples of a successfully terraformed planet are Vekta and Zeronus, however Gyre was found with a naturally oxygen rich atmosphere.
- Terraforming (literally: Earth-shaping) is the proces of turning lifeless, uninhabitable planets, moons and other objects into Earth-like objects that can support human life. This can supposedly be done by modifying it's atmosphere, surface temperature, and completely removing or reducing harmful gases or chemicals (such as the extreme carbon dioxide atmosphere or the sulfuric acid in Venus' atmosphere). For example, carbon dioxide (if present) can be changed into oxygen using algae or other simple plants, which allows more advanced organisms including Earth animals and humans to thrive and reproduce. Although this may be possible in the far future, reviving the magnetic fields of certain planets (such as Mars' solid core) will be a much more difficult challenge.
- Discussing the necessity of terraforming is analogous to debating over the necessity on regulations on the use of teleportation devices; it is an fantastical exercise in futility. We currently do not have the technology to terraform planets, and most of the changes we have done to Earth have been accidental and for the worse. Still, we humans have always wanted to expand to the final frontier, and make our mark into space. In the long run, the Human race cannot survive if we are to stay in the cradle of Earth. Long ago, we wanted to venture out onto the unknown sea; when we arrived in the New World, we brought along our hopes for the future, our ever expanding drive to expand, slavery, and infectious diseases. If we didn't expand into the new world, where would we be now?
- Im Unionsgebiet wird auf die Umwelt geachtet und nach dem Terraforming in eine bestimmte Atmosphäre wird kein Einfluss mehr genommen, ausser die Erhaltung.

* Tips and Ideas
- Terraforming is the process of changing the environment of an uninhabitable world to make it habitable. There are ideas of terraforming the planet Mars. Very low gravity worlds could be terraformed using static vapor air retention. Terraforming is a form of geoengineering. This is an article about space.
- Terraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping") of a planet, moon, or other body is the process of deliberately modifying its atmosphere, temperature, or ecology to be similar to those of Earth in order to make it habitable by humans. This process is complex, lengthy, expensive, and fraught with hazard (as dramatically illustrated by the case of Mars). The best-known practitioner of this art is probably Nirvana Terraforming and Stellar Engineering.
- Its converse is bioforming, which is the process of adapting a species biology and anatomy to the planet. (TAS: "The Ambergris Element") If given resources were scarce or population miniscule; parts of a planetary surface could also be adapted to humanoid life merely by building artificial biospheres. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society" )
- In science fiction, the term can apply to any effort to modify a planet's environment, even if the goal is to make it resemble another alien world rather than Earth.
- Terraforming is a method used by terrans in the Koprulu sector to create human-habitable environments on planets. The process may destabilize or destroy existing native ecosystems. Terraforming was used as an offensive measure by Amon during the End War, against the world of Veridia Prime. The process ravaged the planet's resources.

- During the Yuuzhan Vong War of the galaxy from 25–30 ABY, the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong terraformed many subject worlds to better suit them. The Yuuzhan Vong phrase was known as worldshaping, but others referred to it as Vongforming or Vongformation which was performed by Yuuzhan Vong called shapers. Coruscant, Duro, and Ossus were examples of terraformed planets. Even a century later, reconstruction of many Vongformed planets still wasn't completed, partially due to sabotage.
- Terraforming is the process of manipulating "the atmosphere of a planet to convert it to a sustained oxygen environment, making it habitable for humans."
- Very few, if any, worlds in the Firefly solar system were entirely suitable for human habitation when colonists first arrived on their multi-generational ships. Atmospheric temperature and composition, among other factors, were usually well outside human tolerances. Colonists can wear space-suits and other environmental hazard gear when outside protected areas, yet they ideally need a more permanent solution to claim a planet as truly their own. Enter terraforming. A planet where terraforming fails to "take" and reverts to uninhabitable condition is called a blackrock.
- Terraforming is the process in which a planet is changed or "formed" to suit the needs of those terraforming the planet. It normally involves inserting plants and/or flora, introducing new minerals or substances, or other changes to fulfill the required goals for the planet in question. It can take up to several centuries to fully terraform an Earth-sized planet, or even slightly larger. The UNSC uses terraforming processes to convert potential colonies into environments suitable for human habitation. The UNSC Odyssey was the first UNSC ship to carry terraforming gear out of the Sol system.
- Terraforming was a form of planetary engineering in which a planet or moon was modified through artificial means to match the atmosphere, temperature and ecology of a Class M world to make it more habitable for humanoid life. In the late 23rd century, the Federation's Providence Planetform Research Team studied the terraformed world of Providence III. (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge) Venus was in the process of being terraformed in the 24th century, with several terraforming stations located on its surface. (DS9 episode: "Past Tense, Part I")
- Unter Terraforming versteht man die Umgestaltung eines unbewohnbaren, toten und zur menschlichen Besiedlung ungeeigneten Planeten in eine lebensfreundliche Welt mit terrestrischen Eigenschaften unter Hilfenahme technischer Spezialgeräte. Dabei kommt nicht jeder Planet für eine solche Umformung in Frage und es müssen bestimmte Bedingungen vorherrschen, damit das Terraforming-Projekt möglich ist.
- thumb|Terraforming als Gesamtübersicht. Terraforming beschreibt den Vorgang, um aus einem unwirtlichen Planeten eine bewohnbare Welt mit einer guten Lebensgrundlage zu schaffen. Es gibt mehrere Phasen des Terraforming, wobei die erste Phase die wichtigste darstellt. Der Planet muss genügend Masse und Gravitation besitzen und einen ausgeglichenen Tag-Nacht-Zyklus aufweisen, damit man ihn in einen Klasse M ähnlichen Planeten verwandeln kann. Es ist wichtig, dass der Planet kein Leben besitzt oder entwickeln kann. Sollte bereits Leben existieren, würde es unweigerlich zerstört werden, was eindeutig gegen die Hauptdirektive der Sternenflotte verstoßen würde.
- You can access the Terraforming tool Via the Decorations > Terraform menu. There are currently 3 tool sizes: small, medium and large. Simple select the size you require. You should now see the terraform tool area highlighted in blue dots. Hover over the terrain that you wish to terraform and click to apply. Note you may have to do this many times to flatten a large area. Also note its can be very expensive to terraform large areas. To raise the level of your terrain hold the Shift key and move your mouse up. You should see the blue dots rise. Click to apply.
- By the coming of Second Martian Revolution in 2125, the surface of the red planet was terraformed enough to provide breathable atmosphere and bearable temperatures and pressure without necessity of wearing environmental suits.
- Terraforming is a (currently hypothetical) process that involves the formation of an atmosphere on a planet by raising the temperature, so that the world develops a biosphere which could support (carbon-based) life. The process increases oxygen level in the atmosphere as the planet becomes habitable for human life. For example, the terraforming process on a world that is covered in ice can be terraformed by increasing the level of greenhouse gases that convert the planet's climate to Earth-like. There are many different processes that transform a planet. Terraforming may take several centuries.
- The terraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping") of a planet, moon, or other body is the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying its atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology to be similar to those of Earth in order to make it habitable by humans. Energy & Pollution Resolutions might also play a role in Terraforming.
- Terraforming was the science, industry, and profession that was preoccupied with transforming planets to conditions approximating Earth. During its Time of Isolation, Barrayar's citizens used primitive methods of terraforming, such as slash-and-burn farming and the use of animal waste as fertilizer, which replaced the indigenous Barrayaran vegetation with Earth plants. By "modern" times, Barrayar's North Continent had regions of active terraforming, while the South Continent was still in need of extensive work.
- A field or science dealing with the adaption of planets to human conditions. Was perfected during the Second Republic, with it's foremost master being the legendary terraformer Doramos. Many alien worlds were terraformed, making them habitable for human settlements. Most of these terraforming engines are still in operation, and can be essential for the survival of an entire planet. The Eskatonic Order is interested in the mystical aspects of terraforming, such as ley lines.
