The biggest expense was installing the mantle ducts to keep the carbonate-silicate cycle operating.

    After a certain point, the material around the bolt is more brittle than the bolt itself.

      Often is, but you can alleviate this with large washers like in the picture, and also by adding more bolts closer to eachothers

        I think double-sided tape would be better. Or maybe we sew the plates together?

          Drill holes and zip tie the tectonic plates together

            Tectonic drift stitches. We’d have so much street cred in the galactic neighbourhood

        Would you say tectonic plates are more like wood vor metal? There are different standards for both.

          I’d think they’re more like cookies, but idk I’m not really a geologist 😅

        Too many bolts too close and you’ve just got a perforation.
