On this topic, I came across an issue where adding Frigusium now increases the temperature of Mercury.
I understand from Ultimoos's post that there is a limit on how much Frigusium is going to help. But why would it increase temperatures again if adding more?
And its not the eccentricity effect. I see the increase in both Minimum and Maximum temperature.

Because every gas increases the greenhouse effect (in reality and in Aurora). A 'greenhouse gas' is just one that does it a lot more effectively.

I somehow managed to forget that and was pulling my hair out wondering what's going on. Thanks for the reminder!
