On the subject of terraforming missions gone wrong, a possible way of
handling that would be to have any roll of natural '100' on the terraforming
result would have some sort of negative consequence (possibly roll on a
table?). Similarly, a natural '01' could have a positive special effect.
Possibly a roll on a table, with options of either severe climate effects,
RAW increase/decrease, Capacity increase/decrease, etc? Probably just a 1D6
roll with six different potentials listed. Does that sound like an
interesting addition?
