In line with the regulatory guidelines laid out by territorial planning boards, all the terrestrial features of planets designed for habitation were programmed into the gigantic terraforming machines sent to oversee the process automatically. When the a <a class="internal" href="/wiki/terraformer-vessel">terraformer vessel</a> arrived in orbit around a planet, the majority of its mass and material would fall down to the planet or moon in the seeds towers which it would then use to direct the genesis process. But, once the last seed tower departs, the remaining frame and shell of the terraformers would be repurposed (frequently to create <a class="internal" href="/wiki/orbital-cities">orbital cities</a>). Likewise, the seed towers would be used as building materials for the initial infrastructure associated with settlement and establishing the quantumnet.</p>
