Refined veyrite goes to your export pads, and the company shuttle comes down to pick it up. Sixteen export milestones, from 10 units to 30,000, release new generations of research, and the last one gets you better terms with the company. The last four milestones each release a stage of Halden's orbital lift: its anchor station, then three tethers. Each stage sends refined veyrite straight to orbit, opens four more squares of the plain and takes one freight contract, in which you send a good up and Halden sends another down. The fourth tether fulfils the company's contract, and the colony carries on.
