Terraforming and Colonization

[Muad-Dib]

Just thinking out loud, but would it be possible to terraform a planet? In a planetary colonization mod, certain units could only travel on certain terrain, the "terraformed" tiles. At the beginning of the game the entire map is covered in a terrain and feature(a jungle replacement, if you will). In order to terraform, the jungle replacement must be cleared out and an "algae" feature planted(similar to planting forests). Once the algae completes its cycle it turns into the terraformed tile if the adjacent tiles are "algaed" as well, similar to how the Desertification script works.

Would something like this be possible ingame?

"The Green Mod" already has a terraforming feature I THINK. I know there is supposedly terraforming in the Realism mod as well, but I never played it long enough to get to the terraforming stage so I don't know how it works. I'm pretty sure a worker just works on a tile for a period of time and then the tile changes into a different tile.
