I hope they make Surviving Mars 2, one of the few games (might be the only one) where I have actually got all the achievements (other than the tacked on DLCs by a different developer)

It had some issues, but the vibe and the complexity some simple systems created were so good.

I knew I recognized that screenshot. Surviving mars was a good little time waster. It was stupid easy and didn't have much replay value, but if you ever wanted to just waste time it was a good game. Hopefully Paradox can take it to the next level

Don't listen to this casual fuck dear reader, no replay value? Pfft i bet this person didn't even see all the mysteries and the storylines it offers.

Hell I doubt this person managed to replace all their colonists with android.

This person certainly didn't create a dome specifically for old people then periodical shut off the oxygen because they had the Soylent Green breakthrough that turned dead colonists into food, and since seniors can't work, it made pure economical sense to recycle them.

And then last but not least I am a 100% sure tjis person hasn't run a drug fueled theocratic mining base, you see dear reader, the medicinal spire for the domes gives 80 comfort out of the possible 100, you need 50 or 55 to get people to have children, so visiting this medical spire gets you there very quickly, but then you ask, well how do I get people to reliably to get to the medical spire? Elementary, dear watson. what you do is you abuse them, working outside is abuse, working at night is abuse, working overtime is abuse, so you see all you need to do is mine rare minerals in 3 shifts, with the two day shifts set to overtime and thus your workers get low mental health and keep going to the med center.

Nice job sherlock, you might say won't the colonists just unalive themselves? Well no you stupid bastard, it's a theocracy, you only take religious colonists, you see, they don't kill themselves, they dont want to be dick fondled by the Winchesters brothers in Purgatory or hell or wherever they think theyd go.

And this dear reader, is why you don't take some random casual at their word about a game.

I used to play this mars colonization game, but man it felt a little too empty after a while. And the colonists barely felt like actual people. The rimworld comparisons were not based in reality sadly

It's more of a city builder, and I appreciate the things it does different from RimWorld.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I always viewed it as more of a city builder except on Mars. More akin to Cities Skylines than Rimworld. I haven't played it to be clear, but that's why- I liked Rimworld, but do not particularly enjoy city builders.

Ah, yeah, CS! I wonder if cs2 managed to climb back up or it’s still barely functional
