Weltforming

Weltforming is the act of modifying a celestial body or an area of land in order for its atmosphere to be similar to that of planet Welt for the former and for the landscape to modify its nature for the latter. 
== Overview ==
Weltforming refers to several techniques in order to tame lands into habitable spaces. Areas that the Dalmer Weltform are most often uninhabited realms of the Weltan System, but sometimes areas of Welt are weltformed for specific reasons.
=== Seeding ===
This technology allows the Dalmer to create specific biomes such as lush countryside through advanced weltforming techniques from lifeless stretches of land. The creation of these lands involve seeding formerly barren areas with life, gradually leading to their transformation into lush, life-supporting lands. The seeding of areas was part of a program of colonisation which would take many thousands of years to reach fruition, and the result would only be seen by much later generations of Dalmer, though in fact many of these realms ended up being settled by other sentient races like humans, much to the Dalmers chagrin and anger.
=== Flashfreezing ===
In order to perform Weltforming, sometimes the dalmer utilize flash freezing. Flash freezing is a type of environmental manipulation to drop temperatures to subzero quickly. These were created in an attempt to cool down hot climates but failed, the flash freeze generators periodically cause freezing storms on the land. Shielded units freeze during flash frozen environments. Flash Freezes are one of many Dalmer Weltforming technologies.
=== Desertification ===
Desertification refers to the opposite technology of Constarain, where a defined area of land is denied rainfall for an extended period of time. 
The area becomes a barren landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. As a result, areas subjected to desertification are largely devoid of life and challenging to colonize. 
=== Constarain ===
Constarain is the opposite of Desertification technology, where an otherwise dry or temperate area of land is subjected to constant amounts of rainfall without an intermediary dry season. Constarain is an unstable technology and more often than not causes permanent violent thunderstorms and flash floods where it is deployed.
