Artificial Planets
This mod allows terraformation of Gas Giants into telluric planets:
- Gas Burning -> Lava;
- Gas Hot -> Lava;
- Gas Warm -> Lava;
- Gas Temperate -> Ice;
- Gas Cold -> Ice;
- Gas Frozen -> Ice.
There is also an alternative version available with addition of inverse processes Lava/Ice->Gas Giants: Artificial Planets Alternative (suggested by Xivanon).
Keep in mind:
- These new Lava/Ice planets can be further terraformed, they are same Lava/Ice planets that are generated in galaxy right from the start.
- The size of new planet will always be Huge, regardless of initial Gas Giant size.
- Described terraformation processes are available once first tier terraformation technology Evaporation Inhibitors is researched; the Gas Giant must be colonized first, of course.
- There is no visual/graphic transition when terraforming occurs, visual representation just changes after a couple of seconds in the new turn.
Compatibility: Artificial Planets is compatible with any other mod. Some great terraforming mods by other people that in my opinion greatly enhance terraforming experience, which I endorse and greatly recommend: Terraform away and Planet Size Improvements

FOR MOD CREATORS: You have my permission to use any of my code however you see fit in any NON-commercial mod. You should, however, mention my name – at least for the reasons of good manners.
My mods:
- Kaizen Workflows – infinite system improvement
- Kaizen Rejuvenation – reverse depletion effect
- Artificial Planets – terraformation of Gas Giants
- Enhanced Resources Extraction – adds luxury resources bonus to improvements that give strategic resources bonus
- Gene Splicing Cost Reduced – reduces to 1 number of population needed for Horatio Gene Splicing
- Temporal Duplication Facility – once built adds bonus FIDSI on system that increases by 1 FIDSI per turn
- Galaxy Generation Bigger Systems – changes galaxy generation so only 4-planet and 5-planet star systems spawn (faction home systems excluded)
