Floating continents on Venus

[Rynn]

The problem I anticipate is that the edges of a floating continent would be badly affected by turbulence, so they would be largely uninhabitable and unavailable for most uses. Not a real deal-breaker, but annoying.

For some clades that could be a feature rather than a bug. Imagine a synthetic hive mind clade consisting of a few thousand "dandelion seeds". Each designed to be blown in the wind and maintain contact with each other for the experience.

I agree with Todd that we don't need a Venus rewrite. My gut feeling for it is just because I think we could do more with the above idea, that terragen adaptability means they'd more often fill strange ecological niches rather than terraform them to earth like.
