Woot! Original MOO, a game I love - but am absolutely crap at.

One trick for calculating how much to put into terraforming a planet I don't think you mentioned: the Tech slider. Since Research Points are typically produced at 1 to 1 production points, you can temporarily set the Tech slider to the desired number (50, in this case), lock everything but the Tech and Eco sliders, and then dump the Tech slider's points into the Eco (refitting back to normal, if needed).

It does take a lot more clicks, but stops you from having to solve the equation

(T*25)/P = S

where
T is Terraforming Cost
P is the usable production
S is the number of Segments (or clicks, if you like) you'd need to fulfill the cost.
