Is The Auvilhuveldt article connected to anything else? I'm not sure if something could find it by browsing the EG.

Post: Large microgravity habitats

What kind of large microgravity habitats could exist in OA? Is there a bigger or smaller limit than with ones with standard gravity?

Sorry for being unclear, I was mostly thinking about the kind of atmosphere a hab where vecs don't bother to make it biont-friendly (so they can optimize it for themselves) would be like.

"Synthetics Humans" is just a strange name for a category of beings that are mimicking bionts in general IMO.
