Can the state of Cali Minor be changed? They've been terraforming it for ages.. perhaps in 4.86 a little green or something?

Ages?
Terraforming is a long process. Loner than the 17 years of disco, for example. Its very likely that nothing would noticably change..from tundra world, to tundra world with a thicker, oxygenated atmosphere, could easily take decades.
Green things? Assuming they were seeding them, it would take years for microbes to cover the planet, and yes, while plants don't need food...they do have a nice slew of codependencies they need taken care of.
Finally..why green?

Well, there are rumors that the terraforming gases just escape to space anyway, but, this is speculation. It's supposes to take hundreds of years to terraform a planet, anyway. I don't think Planetform as been doing it for that long.

Terraforming will be done in 826 A.S. following this page.

But yep, changing it might be nice, still, I think the one of Denver is the most adapted, although I do not know about the oceans if they should be there.
What it mean is that it would require a new model, a new texture and terefore, more space and more work, all for one planet. While I do think it might be a nice thing to change it, it is not real a problem ATM and there is much more stuff that needs to be added first.

Even with terraforming, it's bound to stay a bit cold still and so i'm happy for the model to stay the same.
more importantly, california minor, i cant ship anything off you! I'm wondering why you were terraformed in the first place or did planetform just have a couple of billion lying around to waste?
