I also found soil nanites in the ruins and there's a gate in the system. I didn't know they made Deserts this good.


EDIT
Mild climate being the opposite of extreme weather actually make a lot of sense. No storms, just heat.

I can imagine a dry world where the heat is difficult for unprotected humans to survive for long/do hard labor in, but at the same time there are no storms, big swings in temperature, or other disasters. In that kind of world you could set up a light cloth awning over a large area and largely mitigate the heat, without really much danger of it getting wrecked.

the icon is confusing, but I imagine this being that too... Considering that mild climate is competing against extreme weather... It makes perfect sense it works that way... It also explains why temperate planets don't have mandatory mild climate...

My guess is every day is calm weather.  No tornadoes, no gales or hurricanes, no downpours that cause massive flooding, no bad weather (aside from hot/cold) that would be reported on the news or weather channel, just "yet another calm day for weather".

Sloppy programming, that's all ... .

I have seen Tundra "cold" worlds with "mild climate" too.

The Sahara desert is hot for a human, but also quite mild compared to the surface of Venus.

Strangely enough, Venus is probably thet most habitable place in the Solar System, excluding Earth. Because the gases there lift oxygen and nitrogen due to the atmosphere's density. And high up in the clouds temperatures can be relatively tolerable... 50 degrees Celsius, though I can't remember the source... Basically, breathable atmosphere and okayish heat as long as you're willing to live in a giant balloon town.

The atmosphere on Venus isn't breathable, even in the outer layers. The things that actually make Venus more habitable than other colonization candidates are sufficient cosmic radiation shielding, adequate gravity, and similar atmospheric pressure, as long as you stay within the required attitude range.
There is a pretty old doc from NASA on Venus colonization, but there are more recent findings out there.

the Venus wikipedia article quotes [linked image], utilizing the document u gave as a source... And the thing is that you've not provided an article disproving this... Which is uhhhhhhh... I can't just take you that at word... But uhhhhhhhhh, if you have something like that, please hand it over... I would love to read about it... Uhhhhhhhhh, though technically I'm really busy... So, it might take me a while...

Tidal Locked Planet perhaps?

[Princess of Evil]

Atmosphere on Vebus isn't breathable, but otherwise is very pleasant on the 60km layer, consisting mainly of CO2 at standard temperature and pressure with barely any sulfuric acid rains. This doesn't sound like much, but when you compare it to Mars, which has about 1% of Earth's pressure, or Titan's, which reacts violently with oxygen, it starts to look much more pleasant.

The screenshot you embeded refers to using breathable air as lifting gas for the habitats, the doc that both wiki and I refer to, explicitly states that humans will need an oxygen supply on Venus. It's also pretty obvious from the atmosheric composition of Venus, which is roughly 96% CO2 and 3% N2, with a bunch of other gases making up that 1%.

... with barely any sulfuric acid rains...

I suppose the big question is how many is barely any, and what potency of acid? Do we have materials that can withstand the expected conditions for decades?
