Surviving Mars: Green Planet
Surviving Mars: Green Planet is an expansion for the city-building simulation game Surviving Mars, introducing terraforming mechanics that allow players to transform the Martian environment into a habitable ecosystem. This expansion adds depth to the mid-to-late-game experience by enabling the alteration of atmospheric conditions, temperature, water presence, and vegetation growth.
Key Features
-
Terraforming Parameters: Manage four critical parameters—Atmosphere, Temperature, Water, and Vegetation—to gradually make Mars more Earth-like. Each decision impacts these parameters, influencing the planet's habitability.
-
Green Mars: Introduce various plant life, such as lichen, grass, shrubs, and trees, to the Martian surface. Low-maintenance plants like lichen improve soil quality, facilitating the growth of more complex flora, while trees produce high seed yields for your colony to harvest.
-
Special Projects: Undertake seven challenging projects, including melting polar ice caps, capturing ice asteroids, and launching space mirrors, to accelerate terraforming efforts and adjust planetary conditions.
-
Terraforming Buildings: Construct new structures like the GHG Factory to release greenhouse gases, the Forestation Plant to cultivate vegetation, and the Core Heat Convector to raise planetary temperatures, each contributing uniquely to the terraforming process.
-
Planetary Overview UI: Monitor terraforming progress and planetary conditions through an updated interface, providing a comprehensive view of your colony's impact on Mars.
