What would you say if a player came up with a synthomorph with coronal adaptation and hydrostatic pressure adaptation and wanted to go on venus' surface? Theoreticaly hydrostatic pressure adaptation alows to withstand 2500 atmosphers (25 times that on the venusian surface) and coronal adaptation makes it capable of surviving superheated plasma (so 500°C wouldn't be much of a problem I think). Any thoughts?

Coronal adaptation is for a
Coronal adaptation is for a very different environment. In the corona you are surrounded by very hot but extremely sparse plasma, and you need to reflect away incident sunlight. You can deflect the plasma with magnetic fields and radiate towards empty space. On Venus the air is thick, uncharged gas that transmits heat through conduction, and there are no cool directions to get rid of heat to. So, no, it wouldn't work.

Ok so that wouldn't work,
Ok so that wouldn't work, seems one woul need the high temperature adaptation. Thanks.
