# Stellaris Terraform Tradition

## Overview
Stellaris Terraform Tradition is a mod for Stellaris that introduces a new tradition tree focused on terraforming. This mod adds decisions and unique tradition effects to enhance your empire’s terraforming capabilities and planetary management. It is designed to reward an empire willing to invest into terraforming technologies and who plans on creating a series of Gaia worlds for their pops to live on.

## Terraform Tradition Tree Effects

### Adopt Effects
– Terraforming Speed: Increases the speed at which you can terraform planets, allowing you to transform barren worlds into habitable ones more quickly.
– Clearing Blockers: Reduces the time and cost required to clear planetary blockers.

### Finish Effects
– Planetary Benefits: Provides empire-wide bonuses to planet jobs, population happiness, and logistic growth, similar to Gaia worlds but at a reduced rate.
– Ascension Perk: Grants an additional ascension perk point.

### Frontier Exploitation
– Basic Resource Efficiency: Increases Job Efficiency for Technicians, Miners and Farmers by a flat 15%.

### Planet Probing
– Planetary Deposits: Allows you to create planetary deposits on your worlds, allowing you to further specialise their role.
– You may create one "Basic" deposit per planet. For Generator, Mining or Agricultural deposits.
– You may create one "Advanced" deposit per planet. For Rare Crystal, Exotic Gas ,Volatile Mote or Betharian Field deposits. These decisions require the appropriate resource technology first.

### Climate Engineering
– Speeds up Terraforming speed by 25% and reduces cost of terraforming by 25%.

### Planet Restoration
– Allows you to terraform Toxic and Frozen planets, if you have the climate restoration technology.
