Decision - Terraform Standard World to Auto-Ecu with AP:
| time | energy | minerals |

World Machine Origin
Deploy Core (Standard world to Auto-Machine)
| time | energy | minerals | alloys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3600 (10 yrs) | 5000 |
Restore Ruined World Machine
Aggressive approach: 150 / 7.5/progress/mo = 600 days . 35 energy/mo = 700 energy
Standard approach: 150 / 5 progrss/mo = 900 days (2.5 yrs) . 20 energy/mo = 600 energy
Manufacture Core
-3x all research per "power level" (?)
| time | energy | minerals | alloys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080 (3 yrs) | 5000 | 1500 |
3 years = 36 months / 5000 energy = 138.8 energy/mo . 41.6 alloys/mo
Summary: Time to Auto-World Machine
With AP : 9000 days (25 years), 12000 energy, 2000 minerals (because it goes from Machine world to Auto-Machine world)
With Origin : 13 years, 10000 energy, 1500 alloys

T3 worlds can only be converted to other T3 types, or back to a Auto-Machine World, and THEN to whatever.
