*sticky* A master list of what to read about the "Life on Venus" paper
I'm going to try to compile a curated reading list of non-redundant sources that talk about Venus. If you think something's missing, let me know and I'll try to get it added.

🌌 New Building for Venusville Game: The Scanner Tower
Imagine living in a floating city high above Venus, where survival depends on scanning the skies and the dangerous world beneath the clouds. In my upcoming Venusville update, I’m introducing a new structure designed exactly for that challenge: The Scanner Tower.
🛰 What does it do?
The Scanner Tower works like a radar and atmospheric probe for your city in the Venusian skies, giving you critical intel about your surroundings.
- Range: Scans up to 100 km (62 mi) around your city.
- Depth: Penetrates up to 10 km (6.2 mi) below into the thick atmosphere.
- Upgrades: Boost both range and depth as your settlement grows.
🔍 What can it detect?
With research and upgrades, the Scanner Tower can reveal:
- Weather & Atmosphere: wind speeds, storm systems, heat zones.
- Resources: concentrations of rare gases like H₂O, SO₂, FeCl₃, H₂, and O⁺ for harvesting.
- Anomalies: strange signals and unexplained phenomena hidden in the clouds.
👷 How does it work?
The Scanner Tower isn’t fully automated—it requires an operator from your city’s Control Centre, adding a human element to running your airborne settlement.
This new building will be featured in the Alpha 2.0 demo and the Prologue of Venusville, my city-builder set among the clouds of Venus.
Would you trust your city’s survival to a Scanner Tower like this? 🌠
Forgot to post yesterday, but this was in the early morning again! Just eye catching!

Why Time Is Strange on Venus
On Venus, every day is your birthday, thanks to some wild planetary physics. 🪐🎉
As Erika Hamden explains, the planet spins backward, and so slowly that one day lasts 243 Earth days. But a year on Venus? Just 225 Earth days. So its year finishes before a single day ends. If you lived there, you’d celebrate your birthday before the sun ever set!

After late-night projects that last till sunrise, I like to step outside and literally say hi to Venus. It feels sacred like a silent pact between me and the cosmos: she greets me for surviving the night, and I thank her for shining through it. - most recent picture taken 4 minutes ago.

Reducing Redundancy - Venus Colonization Threads
There are less than 50 threads on Venusian colonization in the entirety of reddit. There are many on extraction of water, because methods were changes in consensus, but the rest are unique. Listed below are the threads, to reduce redundancy, so that remaining holes in understanding could be filled, others could build on them without having to reiterate what is consensus, and so that the specifics could be debated. Hope this compilation might be helpful to anyone who comes across :-)
