Raising Planet Quality

A Question Relating to a Tech Tree Mod

I have a question that I haven't had the time to extensively test, but I have a sneaking suspicion it doesn't work like I think it does...

I am making a tech tree mod and one of the things I am adding is techs that raise planet quality. My question is, does anyone know if raising PQ will add additional tiles to an already colonized world, or only to worlds that haven't been colonized yet?

Here's hoping it's the former...

Perhaps that will be changed in TotA?

So that planet quality could reasonably be affected by researchable techs?

Update: Well, what do you know.

In the TotA beta, there are techs that raise Planet Quality.

They affect existing planets.

However, despite the fact that the number goes up, the number of usable tiles does not seem to properly increase... Bug or lack of a feature? Inquiring minds want to know...
