>Machines processing rock to inject nitrogen and some oxygen into the air is next, which could just be automated with auto collectors>Lichen will begin breaking down rock and regolith into the first soils from crevices not bombarded by UV, and will take off as an ozone layer is created>Adapted plants would soon begin be planted in favorable areas as a foothold along with adapted keystone animals like bees, foxes and shit>Other animals and plants are introduced to round out the biosphereAll this does require the L1 plasma magnet to maintain the atmosphere long term, also once the biosphere comes to full coverage, preventing an ice age from carbon lockup may be an issue
Venus is technically easier to terraform but is far bigger logistical challenge albeit very similar methods
