Anyone who have ever terraformed know what a pain this is....

So what if it was like this: "You are unable to terraform here" you have to puff out a pickaxe do 10 digs at the same patch to soften it up or make it into dirt or something similar.

Or even just let it work like terraforming 1 patch at a time just make it take alot longer, i mean that resource feels infinate.

Maybe have it accessble at a certain terraforming lvl 75? maybe... so some effort is required to get there, and not being able to do it
of the bat

Which is wrong.
