===Terraforming Installations===
Terraforming installations are perhaps the least efficient way to go about it, because they require substantial manpower on-site in order to function. On a planet like Venus, not only will this require incredible amounts of [[Infrastructure]], but most likely nearly all of the imported colonists will be working day and night to keep themselves alive in the extremely hostile environment - very few, if any, will be left to man the terraforming installations. 

Terraforming installations are additionally five times the size of terraforming modules (125k tons vs 25k tons), meaning it's rather difficult to move them around; in the case of Venus, this in not a big issue, since it's close to Earth, but the logistics become terrible if the Venusian-type planet is extrasolar. To top it all off, they're more expensive in terms of resources (300 duranium and boronide vs 250 each). 

In conclusion: Avoid using installations whenever possible.
