* The ''[[Command and Conquer]]'' Tiberium series centres around humanity adjustments to a world being transformed by the eponymous [[Grey Goo|Technicolour Crystaltech]] - which not only convert the atmosphere and the ecosystem, but also extract useful minerals from the Earth's crust for easy harvesting when the invaders finally arrive in person.

* ''[[Half-Life 2]]'' in its released form contains hints of this - most notably, the Combine drain the Earth's oceans and use Xen species such as Headcrabs and Leeches as biological weapons. The original beta however went much further - a key location in the game was the "[http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Exchange Air Exchange]", which replaced the air with noxious gases breathable by the Combine, and which meant that all human characters in the game had to wear gas masks.

* In ''[[Star Control II]]'', Mycon Deep Children reshape planets they collide with, stimulating their volcanic activity to the point where it's comfortable for Mycons - obviously, since they enjoy temperatures above 600 Kelvins, it's less than comfortable for pretty much everyone else. Mycons don't seem to care.
