9 -== Prerequisites for Terraforming ==
10 -
11 -* High mass teleportation researched, and spoken to Boso Ta afterwards
12 -* Have a module to construct M and S ships on the HQ (not required to actually start terraforming but needed for subsequent progression)
13 -* Have storage capabilities for container, solid and liquid wares on the HQ (not required to actually start terraforming but needed for subsequent progression)
14 -* Accept a terraforming mission
15 -* Teleport the HQ to the sector specified by the mission briefing
16 -* Open the terraforming menu (this is new icon at the top of the screen) and select a project to work on
17 -
18 -Once started, construction and delivery are automatic as long as the required resources are provided.
