.0123 at is the terrforming now with 14.2 modules in orbit and more being built

Safe GHG .07% .05 atm
Nitrogen 71.37% 70.0323 atm
base temp is -28
surface 462

Venusian colonists are such WHINERS!

Yes, its FAST. Too fast even, but I think its because it have only base components, nothing expensive individually.

In fact, I forgot I put it on auto-expand, and missed my mark by a few weeks, and got a 3 millions tons shipyard instead of the 2.5m I wanted.

Yes, its ridiculously expensive, but if you want to terraform Venus you will need several hundreds modules.

The colony cost takes a straight percentage off the available workers - on really bad worlds like Venus you have 0 available workers to run the terraforming machines - they're all presumably plugging holes in the habitat.
