We should be at least a little flexible with this in regards to the strange ecodamage equations. Our tree farms etc will only help the planet if we first see that it responds unfavorably to minerals/boreholes/whatever.

Tree farms can help a base in the future, BEFORE it collects eco damage.

I'm thinking about any policy for land raising....we could raise interesting land bridges there....we probably need to get a climatologist how not to affect our own rainfall levels negatively, or with any diplomatic consequences.

Tree farms do help some before the first pop, but have much more of an effect after the first pop.

Land bridges don't tend to affect rainfall levels too much, as they aren't high peaks. Furthermore, if we have a bunch of condensors around, all our terrain will be rainy otherwise. Diplomatic consequences are another matter, but it'll be hard to pin too much on us.
