How to Make Thermal Cultivation in Minecraft
Thermal Cultivation
Thermal Cultivation is a Terraformer Blueprint (a program item for the Terraformer machine) that grows plants on grass blocks and turns empty dirt into grass.
Description
A working setup needs a powered Terraformer. Right-click the placed Terraformer with Thermal Cultivation in hand to load the program. Power arrives through a cable, and on the Terraformer energy table the Cultivation program draws 20 EU/t. A Terraformer consumes all available energy as fast as possible, and completely terraforming a landscape may take multiple days, so a generous power source pays off. Right-click the Terraformer again to eject the blueprint.

Wait for the green result
The Terraformer grows plants on grass blocks, fills empty dirt with grass, and slowly converts deserts into dirt; full terraforming may take multiple days.
The Thermal Cultivation program is extremely CPU intensive: effects appear slower and the energy drain rises compared with lighter Terraformer blueprints. A Terraformer also grabs all available energy at once, so keep the cable feed well stocked.

Frequently asked questions
Is Thermal Cultivation a block?
No. Thermal Cultivation is a Terraformer Blueprint — a program item that works only inside a Terraformer machine, so Thermal Cultivation is never placed in the world.
How do I remove Thermal Cultivation from a Terraformer?
Right-click the Terraformer and the blueprint pops out. A used Terraformer Blueprint can be reset by placing the blueprint in a crafting grid, which clears the stored program.
What happens when two Terraformers cover the same ground?
Both Terraformers keep terraforming the conflicting area until one Terraformer runs out of power. Space the machines apart or provide enough energy for the overlap.
