It would remove one of the micro management situations with something that can be relatively easily automated.
Another possible addition for higher tech Terraforming: Gravity Adjustment
The same tech that allows Jump Point manipulation could be scaled up to provide small levels of gravity adjustment over a planetary scale. Maybe create a facility (like in MOO2) whose size and resource cost depends on the gravity difference you wish to achieve).

This is becoming a popular request. It's not as straightforward as it sounds but I am going to have to work out automated terraforming for NPRs anyway so once that is done I will make it available to player races as well.All I can say is cool

It seems to me that since you already have an equation to calculate the habitability rating, you can test each of the variables each turn to decide which one will lower the colonization cost the most.

Good news.
