Personally would like to see this developed deeper instead of branching into gaming goals. Then maybe it can one day be optimized to fit into an existing game's framework? Imagine Civilization 7 or 8, years down the line, having tech like this? Reshaping continents to spread your influence would be so amazing.
Alpha Centauri had some terrain modification in a 4x game (real big bombs, construction units that could raise and lower terrain, and “melt the ice caps”), as well as a super simple weather model that could kind of interact with it (iirc the prevailing wind always came from one direction, but you could raise or lower a ridge to make it wet or dry in an area).
Influencing continental drift for strategic purposes would be hard to justify in a realistic/up-to-near-future game, but sci-fi is always there. Or maybe someone needs to try something new, like a 4x game that takes place on an evolutionary scale. Synapsids & Sauropsids. “I‘ve got you down to your last Lystrosaur, bwahaha”
