Vent Expansion Failure
The "Vent Expansion Failure" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Vent Expansion Failure

Miscalculations with the mining charges caused several vents to fracture and eventually topple to the ground, resulting in considerable damage to our facilities. While some refineries are now producing more gas than before, the total yield has decreased. The silver lining is that the collapsed structures have revealed unexpected sources of minerals. These events act as a reminder that galaxy-spanning civilizations cannot be built without cracking a few vents.
