Terraformer
Prev: Top 10 Signs You Play Too Much OGame | Next: Using Fields Wisely
This allows you to build more fields on a planet, thus increasing its capacity.
A Terraformer works very similar to a Lunar Base. It allows you to add 5 new fields to the max size of a planet. It is extremely expensive to add to a small planet, but for your home planet (which always has 163 fields) or a bigger planet nearing its capacity, it can give you the extra couple of fields you need to add another level of Research Lab, or Solar Plant.
Each level of Terraformer needs more resources, just like any other building. In the Terraformers cases, it uses Energy to build. You do not need to continually supply the Terraformer with Energy. The Energy has to be available when you build, but after the new land slots are created, the Energy is not required for the Terraformer anymore.
The Terraformer can never be deconstructed. The Terraformer isn’t truly a building. It is a method to convert unusable land into usable land so you can build more mines or other buildings.
When you destroy your planet, any work that the Terraformer did is gone as well. So if you created at 350+ slot planet, it will be randomly replaced when a new player colonizes that slot.

Terraformer
This Building creates more fields for your Planet, each Level makes more room for more Buildings. When a planet runs out of spaces, it is wise to be able to build one of these. Each Level gives you 5 extra Fields, 1 of which is used up by the Terraformer itself.
The Requirements for this Building are Nanite Factory Level 1, and Energy Technology Level 12.
The initial cost for this Building is 0 Metal, 50,000 Crystal, and 100,000 Deuterium.
From the thread made by Terminator_T800
http://www.ogame224.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=47451
This says that it makes 5 new spaces, not the four that you say. I’m interested in if you are just simplifying it and saying it makes 4 usable spaces, not thinking of the fact that it takes up one space and therefore creates 5 fields but one is used by the Terraformer.
If not, I’d like to know which one is right, your’s or Terminator_T800’s
And the text is still huge, and I still look like an ass.

why dont u colonise planet 8, why do u only colonise 4,6,7,9?
— Ben Nov 6, 02:57 PM #
I got a 306 fields planet in the 5th spot
— RK_Maverick Nov 9, 03:21 AM #
You also need to meet a required energy production for building the terraformer, just like the Graviton tech, so first level of terraformer would be:
Terraformer 1
Meral:0 Crystal:50.000 Deuterium:100.000 Energy:1.000
It needs 1 field to get built, and increases your planet size in 5 additional fields after it’s completed.
Of course, if you don’t plan on upgrading the terraformer anymore, you are free to use all the 5 fields it gives you.
— JarFil Nov 12, 01:39 AM #
i have got a planet with 319 fields!!
and it is te 4
— Giorgi Nov 14, 09:49 PM #
How does the energy consumption for the Terraformer work? Do you need 1000 Energy just for the construction of the terraformer or do you need to supply it with 1000 Energy for every level? If you need energy only for its construction do you need twice as much energy for upgrading it to level 2?
— Argonaut Nov 26, 09:55 AM #
got 317 fields planet in a place 5
— HellasVerona Dec 3, 05:57 PM #
Argonaut, the energy requirements double for each level just like the cost, so level 1 would cost 50k Crystal, 100k Deuterium, 1000 Energy, lvl 2 would cost 100k Crystal, 200k Deuterium and 2000 Energy, lvl 3 would cost 200k Crystal, 400k Deuterium, and 4000 Energy, and so on
— Willis Dec 14, 10:06 AM #
i had a plot 4, and only got 92 fields, :\ i tried a 7 and got hardly any, then i tried an 8 and got 155, my top fields(ona ll 9planets,only 1 of them is 1-3/12-15) is 200 :(
— Guardian Dec 17, 06:49 PM #
I got a 50 field planet in the 4th spot :S.
GREAT!
— Ben Dec 18, 04:20 AM #
if aome1 built a terraformer and incresed it 15 fields when he started at 317 . what would happen if he quit or surrendered that planet?would i get 317 or 332?
— trogdoer Dec 19, 06:14 PM #
All of my fields are only between 35 and 103!!! Don’t think I’ve got any on the 4th though.
— Lee Dec 21, 12:55 PM #
I’d like to know how much does the teraformer cost?50k crystal and 100K deu?Is it doubled for any new level?

— HANNIBAL Jan 26, 03:07 PM #
Well, I got a 319 at place 4, and a 315 at place 5.
I think the best places are 4\5\6.
— Kye Jan 26, 11:54 PM #
I think too that places 4\5\6 are really biggest planets. And even in this site is proof about it. http://www.ogametips.com/21/using-fields-wisely
But of course with hard luck you can get very small planet. Change to get big planet is very strong depending about your luck
— Rekaelle Feb 24, 09:33 AM #
isn’t it really hard to get +300 fields? what are your best planet positions w/ lots of fields?
— buddha boy Mar 16, 12:56 PM #
I got a planet with 311 fields.. but I have 2 try like 3 times before i got it
— lol Apr 23, 09:10 AM #
why do you need planets with like 300 fields!!!!!
(the fields randomize when u colonize no matter)
...geez… i lonly need like at most 200!!!! :S
— Maur Apr 29, 08:18 PM #
If you have planets with 300+ fields then you can put more things onto them :D It is probably best to keep all planets with 200+ fields, 300 is just a bonus
— Beast May 3, 11:22 AM #
The shiny nunmber of fields for a planet is 250+
4/5/6 give biggers chances for a bigger planet… but still is random.
i didnt tested it because the resources cost, but i think the max a terraformer can take you to is 350 fields
someone asked “can i build terraformers on my main planet?” or something like that… well the anser is YOU CAN BUILD TERRAFORMERS ON ALL PLANETS! EVEN ON MOONS IF YOU MANAGE TO DO THAT!... I guess that terraformed moon should go to the HoF :D

so is there a limit to the ammount of terraformers u can have or is it limitless
— Dum Dum May 25, 07:58 PM #
Hi, i´ve made a terraformer last night on my home planet, but it havent created more fields, in fact it has occupied the last one of my home… why?
— Silver Jun 6, 03:51 AM #
The only thing I use my colonies for is one type of recource each.
So far I’ve only used 36/49 and 25/49 fields in my 2 colonies, and they give me enough recources to me.
Oh, one other thing. Most of the people who have posted questions here can’t of read the other posts.
EG. Trogdoer: The answer to your question is in the last paragraph of the original text.
And Buddah Boy, Your question was already answered by Jos, – Battle – Moon and Rekaelle.
— Jimbob Jun 18, 04:09 PM #
Okay, people. I’d like you all to notice that the Title of this section is not “Planet Size” or “Fields”. Try to post stuff about your terraforming, or terraforming tips, or when its economical to terraform, instead of saying “I got a 23 fields in slot 4.”
Terraforming. Using Fields wisely is a Different subject.

hey people can u get a lvl 200 solar plant???
— thecat Jul 10, 04:52 PM #
“if i deconstruct my nanite, will my terraformer be killed?”
obviuosly not. if it did that, then if u had like ur solar plants on the terraformer, then they wud be destroyed so n0
— thecat Jul 10, 04:54 PM #
so the terraformer creates 5 fields but if u wanna create more levels then u hav 2 only use 4 fields??
— thecat Jul 10, 04:56 PM #
In response to the cat:
No it is not possible to get a level 200 solar plant. Here is what a level 99 would cost…:
Metal: 13.552.039.251.173.840.000
Crystal: 5.420.815.700.469.537.000
Deuterium: – Energy: – Time: 14704903701 day 8h 39m 7s
And that is with Nanite 10 and robotics 20. A terraformer is not truly a building don’t let the picture decieve you. = (

My terraformers haven’t taken the energy or given me the extra fields…why not and how do i get them to giv me the extre fields
— Night Crawler Jul 23, 05:21 AM #
hey peeps can i get unlimited fields with terraformers?(excluding resource cost)
— thecat Jul 29, 06:47 AM #
in response to Blade
how did you work out how much a level 99 solar plant would cost and how is it not possible to get level 200 solar plant?
— mgshadowhunter Jul 30, 03:34 PM #
to the cat, no you can’t get unlimited fields with the terraformer, and deconstucting nanite factory after building terraformer would be a bad move, cause buildings and ships would take very long periods of time to build if you did so
— misled Aug 10, 05:48 AM #
by the way it is possible to get 200 solar because in the game the mine levels are infinate…. its just u will have to play the game for some years to be avle to afford it
— Pricey Aug 17, 07:32 PM #
is it ok to deconstruct the robotics factory when finished using it?

hey people what i mean by my question is is there a maximum field number u can get?(excluding res cost)oh yea also what happens if ur building ur terraformer and ur power is directly from solar sats but b4 it finishes building some1 kills ur sats?

omfg are u ppl stupid??? i mean, is there a limit to how many i can build?! EXCLUDING rez!!!!!! argh!!!! are u ppl thick as a brick???
— thecat Sep 7, 05:58 PM #
@ matej
Metal: – Crystal: 50.000
Deuterium: 100.000
Energy: 1.000
Time: 54m 32s
with a lvl 10 robotics and lvl 1 nanite…
— thecat Sep 9, 04:29 PM #
the time it would take to build a lvl 99 solar plant 14704903701 days, that equates to over 40 million years, and thats only 99, 100 would be 80 million YEARS, see where i’m going?
— Supersean??? Sep 10, 04:43 PM #
@ supersean???
i was asking if it was possible WITHOUT res or time. i guess it was a stupid question but i know the answer now. oh yea try for 99 nanite. takes 1 second.
— thecat Sep 13, 03:21 PM #
“it is possible to get 200 solar….its just u will have to play the game for some years”
Yes, you would have to play Ogame for some years: try around 4,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times the age of the universe. (Assuming the age of the universe is 15 billion years old) Good luck.
— Meriadoc Sep 18, 12:26 AM #
@ meriadoc
try nanite lvl 99 or summit. might take a couple of hours dummie and no, 99 nanite does NOT take a million years takes 6-12 hours….. man are u stupid?????
hahahaha i love myself ive made an idiot of a lot of ppl LOLZ!!!!!!
— thecat Sep 25, 03:36 PM #
Does the terraformer give u 5 fields per lvl, or does it give u an additional 10 fields for lvl 2, and so on?
— Mv3 Sep 25, 05:39 PM #
@ Mv3
no, always give u 5 fields per level… but the cost doubles… dont know why…
— thecat Sep 26, 04:10 PM #
k, thanks
— Mv3 Sep 26, 06:00 PM #
np dude other ppl like take a million years 2 answer these questions and meriadoc is going on about time it takes to build a solar plant 200…. lolz
— thecat Sep 28, 04:53 PM #
so does it actually use all the energy, like if you give it energy, is it lost forever?noone answered that
— n00bkillr Sep 30, 09:44 PM #
ok this may be a dumb question but can u use a terra former on a moon?
— night fox Oct 8, 02:11 PM #
@ night fox
no, you cant use terra former on a moon, you use lunar bases.
@ n00bkillr
no, you just use the energy to make it. afterwards, you can use it for something else.
— Terror Oct 10, 03:51 PM #
Lets sort this terraformer thing out ok puppys.
– For example you have 134/135 fields and you have2128/11094 energy. – 1 terraformer later – You will have 135/140 fields and have exactly the same energy. This is because you only need the energy to make it, not to maintain it.
Is this simple enough? Or who wants me to draw it?
— Sub Zero: UNI4.org Oct 23, 05:51 PM #
Time for lvl 99 solar: 14704903701 day 8h 39m 7s.
That’s 40287407.4 years. So, if you wanna wait 40 mil. years to get a solar JUST of lvl 99 (you wanted a lvl 200), be my guest.
— Intelus Nov 9, 01:53 AM #
How long would that be if the nanite and robotics factory were both level 99 too?
— Jam Dec 6, 05:41 AM #
@intelus
you gotta remember, to get there you also have to build lvl 98 lvl 97 lvl 96 and so on and so forth
@jam
still more time than you have
— the gman Dec 7, 03:02 PM #
ppl, go chech a calculator ogame and make it show you how much time and how much it costs. ah..
and this is about terraformer, not about stupid lvl 200 solar plants. fuka morons, thats impossible to build. ogame wont last forever..
this means it wont last until the universe ends… nor your will to play it
— jsus Dec 23, 10:24 AM #
got planet with 371 field on pos. 6
— zuba Dec 24, 09:56 AM #
If u read the thread “using fields wisely” then it gives u the approx. percentage of the random field generator of a new colony. If u want a big one then ur most likely to get the on slot 4-6, around an 80% chance of a 120-310 i think, and if u don’t get it on the first try then try again. It’s simple. BTW i tried three times on one slot and ended up with a 319 field planet
— mclarenlover Jan 1, 06:25 PM #
I tried 4 times in slot 4 and I got 379 field planet.
— war-lord Jan 12, 12:19 PM #
on my first go on a 4th planet i got 44 fields and on the second try i got 42 but luckily on the third try i got a 250 field planet which is ok so…
— buki elco ailish Feb 7, 01:34 PM #
i see the cat isn’t very intelligent…
it takes a long time just to build 10 nanite, much less 99 nanite, which would probably take a couple million years.
and I got a crappy slot 4 76 planet.
— algebra123230 Mar 8, 02:32 PM #
nanite factory always has the same build time… cuz the time doubles, and nanite factory cuts it in half so it remains the same, but if you wanna wait ‘till you gather all those resources, thats ur problem… and thats only ONE level. to get to that level, u need to build 199 levels that are gonna cost u a lot more than the 200th one… plus the theoretical max level is 99. when u reach that, no more buildings. besides, have u ever thought about building solar sats? mugh less expensive once when you reacha certain lvl.
— De Emperor Mar 15, 07:14 AM #

ummm dude u wudnt need 2 many levels on terraformers (also, affording it wudnt be hard). if ur going 4 lvl 200 solar ur also gonna get 310+ fields to start with
oh yea, and screw Robo. makes them WAY not as fast as NANITES!

when you could get lvl 99 solar, you’re NOT gonna have mines that produce 2 metal per day or some SHIT....
they will produce ATLEAST 99999999999999999999999999999999999999(more than likely) res per hour!
GOD SAKES!!!
— thecat May 31, 05:55 AM #
Yeah.
Cept it’d take you a few million years to actually build up that much.
So yeah, you could do it.
It’d just be really stupid and take you longer than you live to do [=
So, anyone care to work out, if you’re just mining metal, deut and crys, and building up those 3 mines and solar (maybe robot, if you wanna try that too), how long would solar 99 take?

— jake Aug 9, 12:24 AM #
I am wondering can u build a nanite on the moon. and therefore a terraformer?
Also I heard a terraformer makes 5 new fields. OK if build a terraformer. WOuld i get 5 new feilds or would the terra former take up 1 so I only get 4. I know use the last one for another terraformer.
— samit Aug 20, 06:42 AM #
O.K., to those of you who don’t seem to listen to what the people tell you and keep posting the same exact stuff over and over: Yes, it is probably possible to make a near endless amount of terraformers, but due to the res cost and time required to build it it is HIGHLY impractical. Most of the most powerful players in the game have trouble with lvl 50-60, so anything spend on something that high would take months to save up, and months to complete probably.

HEH!
6 of my 9 planets are 240+. 6 of those are 260+ with one being 280. And I only had to reshot 4 times to get them(one twice)! But are they worth it! You get excellent sat power because they have high temperatures. Those were slot 4&5.
Slot 15 is excellent for deut planets because they tend to be very cold and this makes them great for fleeter depots.

Haha, thecat, ur pretty much beat, theres soo many facts against lvl 200 solar. If galexy ranger is right and it take 31 BILLION years the entire solar system wouldn’t be around cuz of the suns supernova. Plus, im not sure becuase science aint that far ahead yet, but i dont think the GALEXY would still be around. And its would take unnumerable amounts of resources to make all of the levels.
Just to make that rock solid :)

Correction to my last comment:
What is the minimum number of fields you CAN get on a colony…..
— Rebel Mar 27, 08:56 AM #
nanites always take the same time to complete because they halve the time and the next level doubles it. And with resources, 99 would be possible to build without waiting forever. Then you need to build up the solar plant. Assuming you’d have unlimited resources, it wouldn’t be so bad.

OKAY back to the topic
if you have maxed out your planet’s slots then you probily want to downgrade 1 building to get the terraformer then build it back…....
(out of curiosity) how the heck did you figure out how much reasources you would get at a level??
and at level 42 how many reasources are you getting??
and is that on a standerd
server or is that on 32 (double income) or 35 (5X income)????
— UNSC May 17, 03:19 PM #
Why doesn’t everyone shutup about unlimited fields!? Obviosuly nobody is going to try and get lv.200 solar plants, or wait around several billion years for it to happen! Rant over.
I’ve just started terraforming, and here are the costs at each level
Terraformer:
Lv.1
Crystal: 50.000
Deuterium: 100.000
Energy: 1.000
Lv.2
Crystal: 100.000
Deuterium: 200.000
Energy: 2.000
Lv.3
Crystal: 200.000
Deuterium: 400.000
Energy: 4.000
and so on…

And my current largest ones are a 290 and a 207, in slots 5 and 9 respectively. Its all complete luck.
— Cobalt MKII May 27, 10:32 AM #
All my planets are 130+ fields, and i haven’t even got a terraformer.
I had a 32 planet once though but i deleted it instantly.
It’s smart if u delete kolonies that are under 150 fields but i thought 132 was good enough for me so.
Largest planet:315 fields no terraformer.

— Spacedoggy-d Jun 3, 04:37 PM #
@thecat
Well, I just finished reading your posts and came to a very obvious conclusion. You say you would be able to build Nanites very fast because of all the Met, Crys and Deut from your mines. Yet to reach that level of mines you would already HAVE to have Nanites at that level. e.g. quoting you “if u cud get lvl 99 solar, it wudnt take too long 2 get res(as long as u hav mines)..... lolz i love putting some ppl 2 shame…”
You’re right, if you have the resources it is possible, to get those resources you would need that mine. But to get that mine you would need the resources to build the Nanites so it DOESN’T take years to build. The points are mutually exclusive. You need resources to build the Nanites, but you need the Nanites to build the mines, but you need the mines to get the resources. So it to get all of these it WOULD take millions of years.

hehe I don’t even need Terraformers.
All 8 of my planets are 275 fields and higher.
Besides my Main. but I changed my main planet for a 315 fielder.

Guys for what planets to conquer it depends if you are in the old universe or in the recreated universe, for the old i am not to sure, but for the recreated universes the 8th slot is the biggest and the biggest planet can be 250, with out terraforming
