Can't seem to complete 'Beyond the Frontier' Terraforming Mission

[spankahontis]

I'm really getting frustrated by this mission, I took the mission in Atiya's Misfortune and have started the Terraforming mission to deal with the Seismic Activity of the Planet but it keeps increasing the number of Medium and small terraformer drones I need to complete the mission.
I don't know if this is a bug? Or the earthquakes are supposed to slow progress down? But 2 days of gameplay and i've barely gotten halfway to completing it.

Yes, the earthquakes do remove progress that has been made. A good tactic is to build lots of storage in the PHQ and collect all the resources you will need for the current project and then build all the drones quickly.

That's the whole point. You need to oneshot the seismic reducing missions otherwise you are literally throwing resources into holes that open up in the ground.
Oh, and last time someone calculated, you'll need at least 5 S/M fab bays to be able to build drones fast enough assuming you start it right at the timer.

Dang! No wonder i'm failing this.

I've built over 30 Terran Metal Fabs and got over 100 Mining Ships delivering raw materials endlessly, yet it never fills up, Must need ALLOT of Metal Fabs?
Guess I'll build one next to the HQ and keep it filled as i'm running out of space on my Headquarters to place new Fabs.. Frame Rates starting to lag, I must have hundreds of mining ships trying to beat this mission.

What? You need storage.

What? You need storage.

Enough Container Storage for 6,700,000 Metallic Microlattices, about 2700 Computronics, 2700 Silicon Subcides to complete it.

This time i'll pause all production, excluding the above and food/Medical supplies for workers.
I've built 5 Wharfs, just have to wait till I have all the wares, which is just 3 Million Metallic Lattices, then third times a charm.
