Improved Venus

Description
Somehow, the ‘Toxoids’ DLC didn’t come with an option to terraform Venus.

While it’s not as iconic as Mars, terraforming Venus is nearly as old a trope, and certainly influential in its own right.

So when people asked me about making a Venus option on my ‘Improved Mars’ mod, I couldn’t refuse.

Starting a new game with this mod installed gives Venus the ‘toxic terraforming’ modifier. 

Successfully terraforming it gives you custom deposits, named after major terrain features currently on the planet, and their expected natures after Venusian terraforming would be accomplished. You should also get one of several events acknowledging the great achievement.

@Pietas I didn't take it that way, but it's the internet, so fair to be cautious.

Thanks! Just realized that sounded confrontational when I wrote it, my bad.

Fixed. Sorry.

Yep, I did that. Fixing.

@Pietas What? Checking now.

Did you mean to leave an entire vanilla common/special_projects folder in the mod?

I wouldn't call Venus a toxic world per se, but nonetheless: based mod

Everyone, blame Mortarch Of Blood if something... fun... happens while you're cleaning up a blocker on Venus. XD

You're welcome!

Venus would actually a really, really tricky terraform IRL, since the atmosphere is like 95% carbon dioxide, with a bit of nitrogen and hydrogen thrown in. You could strip the carbon off it to convert it to oxygen (possibly by palladium coated stainless steel spheres floating high up in the atmosphere), but then there would just be 95% oxygen, which would make a situation where all the precipitated carbon was very likely catch fire and turn back into carbon dioxide!
