Do You crawl forests like I do regularly?
In early game I do this most for minerals, but in later game, with hybrid forests, I even use them for food or energy. Crawling them gives You great flexibility. If You get ecodamage, simply change from minerals to nuts or energy.
They are not as effective as mines or boreholes, but there's always a dry, flat square somewhere where You can plant a forest and crawl it.
Their greatest advantage is that they need few to none terraforming and don't cause ecodamage.
My last game, with Morgan, I used forest as an energypark for my superscience base. With ME, hybrid forest, and aquifer drilling, forest squares give 3 or 4 energy even without running FM or wealth. So I built hordes of formers and chased them into the forests.
