Planet modification, which is under planet utilisation, IIRC.

The first 3 levels get you conditions improvement.
The next 3 levels get you value improvement
The next 3 levels after that get you atmosphere converters.

7 to 9. I highly recommend researching up to lvl 9, as it takes less than a year to research if you've got a rather large Empire devoted to research, and it'll shave a few months off the conversion time nonetheless.

Ooh, this brings back memories..... I once played as a semi-customized version of the Pexlerr, had a rather large empire with over half of my worlds completely crammed with research facilities. In the end, things like Stellar Manip took like 3 turns to complete Big problem though, I researched ALL tech levels by the '30s or so so then I converted all my tech centers to Intel centers..... I still have the savegame, never played much further tho..... needless to say, if I start playing that game again I could win by intel alone MILLIONS of Intel points WOOT!

As I said, if you've got high research point production, don't build the bastards until you've got Lvl III Converters. Unless, of course, tech lvl 8 and 9 would take more than a year to complete.

Start building them when you reach lvl7. Get the next levels while they are still in the queue. Put them on hold with one turn left if you need to. When you reach lvl9, click "Upgrade All" (or something like that) on the main production page. It will upgrade your partially completed converters to the highest level. It works just like you were building the highest level all the time.

Agreed that is the best way to build anything while you're researching for newer versions.

I still think the best way to undome a planet is to concentrate efforts to capture other-breathing population. Even if you capture one of those suckers, you can breed them and undome all the planets in your empire with their offspring.

You can capture one of the planets, trade, capture a pop transport or a colonizer, use intel, etc.

Don't forget to address their natural trend to unhappiness, though. Troops or one of the happiness facilities is a good way to do that.
