If you haven't played the game (Terraforming Mars), I highly recommend it, its intimidating at first, but you will get it pretty quick. If you have played Settlers, or Dominion, or similar games, you should be just fine at this game.

I still cant believe this game is made by two people.

I really like this game. It has Subnautica esq storytelling to it while you are busy terraforming the planet. Although its not quite there yet, this game has a lot of potential. Already sunk a good few hours into it.

I feel bad because they announced on imgur that they were making the game and it's exactly what I was looking for like a day or so prior. They were nice enough to send me a beta key but I never got around to trying it.

How much realism does the game abide by in the actually theoretical terraforming process of mars? Just curious.

Any terraforming simulator would have to take into account the severe imbalance of CO2 compared to oxygen and water in the atmosphere and surface, so they have to stretch a lot of the physical limitations to make this possible

Not to mention the creation of a magnetic field to help protect mars from solar blasts that would just destroy whatever atmosphere you put into it. And some sort of gravity generator to help humans live there without turning into blob people like in WALL-E.

Yeah, the lack of a magnetosphere is why it lacks so much water to begin with
