+1 this if it's possible, but at the same time I also get that this is one of the distinctions between this and DIYP since the latter revolves around most of the projects requiring constant oversight and a domain era artifact to work, notably limiting terraforming options for the player. However, again only if possible, getting blueprints or artifacts related to terraforming could also be done in relation to the old Mbaye-Gogol ruins (Hanan Pacha) and moon (Killa) that got blowed up in the second AI war in Yma (for non-random sectors for people with Nex) - something along the lines of finding logs or trace communications that pointed along a breadcrumb trail towards assorted blueprints or one offs for terraforming. If possible and not against the ideology of the mod, cool one offs might be artifacts that could circumvent normally un-terraformable planets like gas giants, lava, or irradiated worlds, either by using some kind of obscure tech that simply eases one of the issues on those worlds; or by something completely arcane, expensive, and multi-staged (Geomagnetic Stabilizer Coil for example for lava) that changes the type of the planet outright to one that can be terraformed further from there. From me all just ideas though.
As far as requests, and again recognizing that this is only if this is possible since game/engine limitations be like that sometimes - would it be possible to get either a similar or the same readout as far as terraforming progress goes, on any relevant terraforming buildings, akin to what is currently present on Chameleon and the Gene-Lab for their processes? So, for example, if a planet was being given an atmosphere via an atmospheric processor, would it be possible to have the terraforming progress of that shown in the tooltip for the processor, like it would if pollution was being removed by the Gene-lab - this would be largely just a small QoL change with the point of being able to see terraforming progress on a planet remotely, so if it would be an undertaking it can be understandably opted away from.
