Terraforming

Well, it increases the base population level supported by the planet, but so far I don't see the point of increased population. At best you get one more factory slot, but who cares? The standard 400mu colony is already powerful enough to withstand anything that most players are going to muster.

I've been terraforming gas giants and colonizing them in order to make them harder to capture. All those people make good defense!
