Bug report : Terraforming removing blockers hence districts

[Jhenmhor]

So when I terraform a planet before colonisation with, let's say, +8 total mining districts blockers and a planet size of 24, to become a Gaia world. Wouldn't it be great if when the terraforming is finished I get a 24 size Gaia world with +8 mining districts blockers right ?

Nope you get for the low-low price of 10,000 creds a 24 size Gaia world with 2 of each district available anf no longer the blockers with the mining district bonus.......

I suppose it's not intended because I searched and nowhere did I find a tooltip or message telling you to colonize, clear the blockers and THEN terraform the planet otherwise the blockers would disappear.

Please fix it (waiting 5+ years for a forge world to realise it's not isn't funny at all)
Thanks.

PS : I was a "bit" mad when I wrote this post.

It sounds like the bonus districts are attached to the tile blockers. So when the blockers get removed instead of completed, all the goodies vanish with them.

The Gaia issue is actually slightly different than what you mentioned. What happens when you terraform (to non-Gaia) is it clears all blockers and unlocks the planets full potential by changing the features to what the new planet type should have.
Gaia worlds on the other hand have ZERO +1 resource district features, that is why Gaia worlds tend to have huge district caps when found naturally. Unfortunately this also means when terraforming to a Gaia world all +1 resource district features are lost, as they cannot be translated into Gaia features.
This is definitely a bug though, hopefully will be fixed soon.

What op said also happens though. Terraformed some planets to tropical and lost all the districts I would have gotten by removing tile blockers.
