Thanks for trying it out! I'll try to get a build up :) 

i really like that game, i REALLY wanna more updates in future, now, see the chaos in my world, the BIG (poluted) CITY OF MARS!

i looked at the comments for ONE second and then everyone was dead, everything was on fire and pollution was at 1700. I love this game.

Tips and tricks possibly? I'm having a hard time puzzling out how to maximize farm creation whilst balancing humidity (sea levels), and I am pretty confused by the resource management elements of the game; what do I need to build a farm, can I make that farm more profitable, what do cities contribute or unlock, etc.

Thanks for playing! 

I usually try and dig canals after building the first city. By digging canals I can put farms in a safer place at higher grounds. Since the water level increases upwards, building on higher grounds is a good idea :)

It's a very small game, the goal could be to increase your population as high as you can. It gets tricky fast though - cities spread pollution, and grass consumes that pollution. Having moderately size cities not too close to each other can get you very far.

In case you haven't seen it yet, there is a menu to the top left to toggle things like rotation, pollution, and the height map as well :)

oooooh. I did not think of the canal's idea despite figuring out that you could decrease/increase height after a certain point. Was that intentionally a reference to how early astronomers' telescopes reflected the veins in their eyes onto the surface of a planet, causing the optical illusion of the Martian Canals. The idea of Martian Canals was also used by many early sci-fi writers who set adventures on Mars.

Aha, interesting! It sure is my intention now  :))

Regardless, it certainly worked!

I forgot to take a photo of the backside of the planet, but here is a fully terraformed Martian colony! It's like a gated community except instead of fences the barriers are mountains. And yes, I did flatten out the inside of the settlement, I like my lawns trimmed.

Looks really neat! Nice done with the farming :)

Got a new update up now, much faster rendering, bigger world and some new features. Would love to know what you think if you try it out :)

If the planet doesn't show up after the menu, try reloading the page :)
