>>6022012>>6021823Damn, it would've been great to have had a mineral-rich world that had massive terraforming potential and would've been able to turn at least somewhat habitable while letting us build with whatever resources we needed at the time. That's would have been a crazy cool idea!
Yes, I am getting sassy about Hephaestus not having been chosen when you say this. Because I set up the world as being initially inhospitable at the surface with large potential for Venus-like terraforming and colonization at the start. Many of its negatives could've been mitigated with some simple solutions that just required patience.
Close to the system's star? Putting solar shades in front of the planet would've slowly lowered the temperature of the planet. Allowing the air pressure to drop as the water crashed out of the atmosphere. Floating habitats would need to be exchanged for surface habitats. But after a few decades, the world would've been almost as habitable as our current world is with the benefit of all of the resources still being there and the metals being easy to access from the molten lakes having frozen over.
If it was not for the fact that the world is already named it would take great effort to uproot ourselves, not even to mention the uproar from the colonists. Then I would genuinely advocate for us to uproot the colony and move somewhere else.
