mayapuppies Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hello all, I am looking to form a list of about 25 words that are considered representative of Terraforming. These should be words that you would find in the engineering manual for the act of Terraforming a planet. I don't need the definitions or anything more than just the words themselves. I'm developing a name generator that will use these terms as 'seeds' for the generator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
