Abandoned Terraforming Equipment - Stellaris Wiki (2024)

The aborted terraforming process on [colony name] has finally been completed. After seeding the atmosphere with billions of terraforming nanites, the alien bio-engineering machinery has significantly altered conditions on the [planet or moon]'s surface. The ecosystem and climate have both stabilized, and a new alien biota adapted to this climate has been introduced.

Something appears to have gone wrong when the nanites designed the [planet or moon]'s new biota, however. They have spawned millions of horribly deformed creatures. Most of them died within moments when their twisted bodies collapsed, but the survivors have massed together in a throbbing, shrieking horde. To make matters worse, they appear to be flocking towards our main settlements!

As luck would have it, the [planet/moon name] is now a veritable paradise for [species]! The new climate appears more suited to our kind than that of [home planet] itself.

The aborted terraforming process on [colony name] has been completed with horrific results! Whatever alien life forms designed the terraforming equipment, their physiology was radically different from ours. The [planet] has been modified with an ozone-depleted stratosphere, to support life requiring high levels of ultraviolet radiation. Millions of colonists have suffered gruesome deaths as a result."

In large part due to the interrupted terraforming process on [colony name], the [planet or moon] has a somewhat unstable climate. Violent storms that our climate models can't predict often materialize without warning. One such storm recently swept over a major settlement, resulting in several deaths and a lot of destroyed property.

We have fought off the mass of creatures that attacked our settlements on [colony name]. Their rotting corpses now litter the ground in front of our fortifications, and our security forces are currently in the process of bulldozing the putrid bio-mass into hastily dug landfills.

Some of the genetic matter is of interest to our scientists, however, and the samples they have collected should aid future research in biology.

The unstable climate on [colony name] has resulted in a severe drought that affects a significant portion of the [planet or moon]. Colonists living in those regions have asked [capital name] for financial aid to improve living conditions.

Our colonists on [colony name] are still encountering scattered survivors from the mutated creatures that spawned after we finished the [planet or moon]'s aborted terraforming process. Most are relatively harmless and can be put out of their misery by local militia forces, but one creature in particular has been spreading terror in our outlying settlements. There are reports of it stalking our citizens, and there have been dozens of unexplained disappearances.

The mutilated remains of the security team that was sent to investigate the matter were recently discovered, prompting the colony's leaders to request off-world military support.
