So, I read the setup and it's relly brutal XD.
Will you actually bother with converting everything to TN tech, or not?
I imagine not, as you need to start building infrastructure as soon as possible...
At what rate can you build infra? Do you have some stockpiles of duranium even?
Then again, if you don't have enough stockpiles, I guess you are forced to convert anyway, to get mines which can net you more duranium...

I think I am going to avoid infrastructure in the short term and accept the casualties. Dust settles at 250 per year so the temperature will start to recover at 2.5C per year. I think converting factories now will save more lives in the long run than building limited amounts of infrastructure. Eventually, I will wish I had the dust back :)
I suspect the 25% research rate is going to damage me more in the long-term. I certainly can't afford to be spending time on weapons and there are 3 NPRs and all spoilers out there. This could easily be a losing campaign, but I'll see what happens :)

I derped pretty hard, forgetting that dust would settle relatively fast. I guess you'll be converting only into factories and mines at least for the first few years.
What is your plan for evacuation? Try to explore nearby systems in hope of finding low colony cost worlds? Use infrastructure/orbital habitats and move the population to mars or similar? A mix of the two seems best, but I question what use nearby systems would be. I mean, you have very little time, and at low tech your ships will be very slow. You might find a low cost world, but say it's 5 billions km away... the travel time would be significant, so maybe it would be best to plan to colonize a planet in the solar system.
Mars seems the best best as the moon will too go boom very soon...
Terraforming does not really seem feasible in such a short timeframe and with only 25% research.
Steve Walmsley:
I plan to explore and hope to find something relatively close. Otherwise Mars or even Mercury are the immediate options. One thing I hadn't considered is unrest due to overcrowding. Earth is now colony cost 0.7 so needs infrastructure. Ten days in and political stability is already 98.6% :)
I guess I need to build some cheap security troops very quickly.
