--Reintroduce Local Flora

--Geothermal Power Plant
++Von-Neumann Constructors
--While primitive versions of this technology relied on steam turbines, advanced materials now allow for efficient use of the Seebeck effect to generate power from large heat differentials without any moving parts.
++These self-replicating drones have been outfitted with logarithmic brakes to prevent a runaway scenario at a fundamental level while still allowing them to react to demand at the proper scale. In addition, they are controlled by specialised AI systems which lack the capability to alter their own programming. This makes them a safe, if less effective, version of the original Terraformer designs.
--Wind Turbine Farm
++Hydroponics
--When it's available, wind power can be a very cost-effective method of generating power.
++While sometimes there is no alternative, this method of food production is much more expensive than conventional farming, and yields inferior products as well.
--Matter/Antimatter Power Plant
++Fertilise Soil
--Based on the same technology that powers vessels and facilities in space, matter/antimatter is a powerful but costly solution for planetside power generation.
++With a healthy microbiome, we can begin to make the land arable. This requires soil with sufficient drainage, the right pH, necessary nutrients in plant-accessible form, and all of that at a depth sufficient for roots to take hold. A significant effort, to be sure, but absolutely necessary before any large scale settlement can take place.
