1380 research points in one turn from one base. No crawlers, boreholes, or energy parks. Almost (but not at all) worth losing all my OPTs in a solar storm for that. Faction is a custom one with free hybrid forest, which explains why I've turned everything into forest.

Edit: And, with a little SE tweaking (Eudemonic and 100% research), that's now 3154 points (or 3060 with 10% psych to flood with talents):

Before/after major terraforming from my latest game, why I like AC's terrain raise/lower options so much.


Actually, I'd already started here,  that was just my first save. Originally my island was not connected to the one below at all and Forrested Hills was a coastal base.


And after. I wished there was a automatic forest option quite a few times during this. Still, made a change from other forms of terraforming. Playing with custom factions is interesting.
