True.

Canuck024 He will 39:13 :) I don’t think he would make this how to vids without a proper lets play in mind.

The game now has a pretty great tutorial that says pretty much everything he says. They didn't have one when this video came out.

@@Humma_Kavula Not the Xbox version. The tutorial there hurts, big time.

Same with cables at 19:15

same

thats why they sponsored him :P he always does good tutorials

*than*

there will be higher difficulties modes that will make the early game hell... but the idea here is that there is no reason to send humans to mars before you can offer them nice living conditions. though I'm not against lower tech starts. maybe even force you to start with human pioneers living on underground bases to prepare the terrain for colonization.

Domes and landing pads will block dust tornados.

Higher difficulty will be much more interesting I think its far too easy to be as entertaining as it could be!

Look up Skye : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKhmh7SonNfbqWw.html He played it hard, still playing. He almost lost his colony quite a few times, and now he's got aliens showing up, maybe to attack.

Killaim it's probably more "can't go to Earth" rather than "doesn't want to". Growing up in Martian gravity and then going to a place with three times that would likely harm/kill a person.

Killaim he uncovered only a fraction of all the techs, not to mention breakthroughs, events and so on. There may very well be somethin like that later down the line

suborbitalprocess To say nothing of the lack of immunity to Earth microbes and viruses. It would take one hell of a vaccination program. On the other hand, G forces can probably be artificially increased to strengthen the body, but you would have to plan it out months or years in advance.

Artificially editing g-forces is not as easy as you think. The way we achieve higher g-forces on earth is either by attaching someone to a spinning wheel or putting them in airplane or roller-coaster. As far as we know, nothing we have ever learned about science suggests we will develop any other kind of artificial gravity ever. You can put weights on a person, but that's not quite the same thing. However, it is highly doubtful that humans will develop inability to withstand modestly higher g-forces just by being born and raised on a different planet. After all, we can easily survive more than twice our present weight here on Earth. Still, I suppose it isn't proven. We've had a few adults in space for several months, but little more. Anyone want to volunteer to launch themselves on a rocket with a 100% chance of exploding, and a significant chance of doing so catastrophically? I'm pretty sure sex would still work... probably. In fact, I bet someone has already tried it on a plane during a 0-g dive, according to rule 34. However, I'm not so sure anyone has been able to achieve conception while on a 0-g dive (0-g dives last 25 to 55 seconds). Rule 35, someone get on that. Assuming sex in space works, (which might just be easier than sex on a plane), then just sit in space for 9 months, and then give birth with little-no medical capabilities. We hope it won't result in permanently deforming or killing your child, but we aren't sure. Any volunteers? Also, it'll cost a few billion dollars so... be ready to pay in cash.

the biggest problem here is that the baby was born on mars, so it developed to survive mars conditions. but there are ways to train a person to withstand stronger gravity. you can make him walk around with a partial pressure suit that actually push the blood to the legs, wearing weights around the body and a mask with lower oxygen levels, all to force the heart to work harder. then you make the person exercise every day on those conditions. it will still feel very overwhelming to stand up on earth for the first time, he probably will have a few blackouts and will need to lay down for a very long time. but eventually he will be able to live a normal life on earth. also you can always build a couple of space stations connected through a cable and make them spin to simulate earth's gravity, or even do that with the space ships to help the passengers get used to earth's gravity on the way back

Build a tunnel or ramp up to a clearing on the mountain.

Chris Wallace Yes you can. You can use Domes as terminal blocks.

Water and power goes in one side of a dome and out another side. Saves on pipes and wires and damage from disaster events.

Batteries.

Figure the night is 12 hours, so that would be 120 need. The night is actually shorter, it's from 10pm-6am, about 8 hours, so from 80-120. You're f'd if you get a dust storm or cold wave though.

i plebgree

i plebsecond

Likely by getting a new tech.

Nope. The tutorial series is complete with this one.

you can use the transport hover to set up cargo routes. so you don't really the shuttles for constant resources transport. but I think you can do that, but it will be a little harder in the early game

I think 'Crazy' Nicki from PI suggested something like that during her and Suzi's Europe play thru.

You can do that what you said about specializing the domes (one farming, other mining, and another manufacturing), but not about leisure. Colonists need to live, work and have leisure in the same dome(and surrounding areas, for external buildings).

One of the nice things about this and other games of this type is that you can play the game the way you want so you can try out as many options as you want.

It seems awfully inefficient of a Mars program to not run wires under the domes honestly. Also, where are the dome connectors?

It's done with magic, after all this is a game.

Yes. Water/power in one side, water/power out the other side.

Why are you surprised. It is from the same company.

Steven Wilson i kinda suspected that but was too lazy to check :d

Well to be fair. This was just a tutorial so Quill chose all the easiest game settings. He picked the company that gave him the most money and super awesome rockets. And chose a landing site with almost no environmental threats. So yeah. If you want a challenge just pick one of the other 9 companies that will offer far fewer bonuses and even some drawbacks and pick a landing site that is more dangerous than a pug on morphine.

I am just afraid that it will be the same experience as Banished. Like your starting positions, company, difficulty etc. will only change the starting difficulty and then the colonies will become self-sufficient and all you have to do to achieve anything is to wait... Hope i will be wrong. Pretty hyped about this one...

Well that is a kinda strange thing to be afraid of since making a self sufficient colony is the point of both this game and banished. Although this game does have those late game mysteries, so maybe they will throw some kind of monkey wrench into your colony that will force you to react.

Every game has a major mystery to investigate, so I think they're banking on that keeping things interesting after you achieve self-sufficiency. Since they plan full mod support, if the feature is as compelling as they hope, this could be the most replayable entry in the genre to date.

With mods sky is the limit for sure. I just dont want to pause for a second while playing and say : "They got shit loads of food,metal,concrete, polymers etc. so what now..." Hope the mysteries are enough to provide a challange after the "ok they survived" part.

Yeah feel you. I think it will be so much fun in the first playthrough, maybe even a second with the different starts. But then its just going to be more of the same and i dont know if that is worth 40 bucks to me. So i guess i just gonna wait till it drops. Then it will be a good buy.

All of your complaints are strictly to do with the difficulty. If all you've seen of this game is a tutorial played on the easiest difficulty, you really shouldn't be complaining that the difficulty is too low. If you've seen other content, I can't see why you'd complain about the difficulty here.

I agree with you, I think playing on the higher difficulties could help out with the easiness of the game, however, it does look like a game that will drop off in interesting gameplay. Maybe as you get into the late game it will get really good, but there's no way of knowing for sure based solely off of this tutorial series.

There are mysteries though which should give you some interesting gameplay in the later game

Trump was playing 300% on twitch. It honestly did not seem any more difficult. Yes he had less resources, but even so, the fundimental game did not seem harder or more interesting. Like there was no real sense of danger, exploration, or need to really balance costs and benefits optimally.

Plenty of CO2 in the atmosphere. Water (H2O) + fuel (H2 + 0 (lol)) and CO2 could, with enough power make about anything.

Mars has no atmosphere. Or at least an incredibly thin one, basically any gas just escapes into space. It's why radiation is such a problem on the surface.

It doesn't say anywhere that they use Hidrogen as fuel. The main fuel you can sintetize from Martian's atmosphere is Methane (CO2 + 2H20 -> CH4 + 2O2). Yes, you could made Hydrogen from water alone, but that would be very inneficient. And then Methane is the base for a bunch of polimers.

I looked it up and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for sharing the info!

the nationality will be the same as the country that owns the space station.

Danilo Oliveira What if the colony isn't bound to any particular nation?

What about the ISS?

if the colony is independent them the nationality of the child depend on the laws of the colony. for example, they can let the child be registered in the native nation of the parents, or they can have their own registry. for the ISS I don't think there are any particular rule regarding it, specially because no one even know if its possible to conceive a child in zero g. so they probably would need to improvise. not sure if the ISS follow the rules of international waters, if it does then there should be some laws regarding it... but I'm not sure, I read somewhere about ISS sovereignty but I don't quite remember.

Danilo Oliveira So... Depending on the laws of the colony, one could register their nationality as Martian. Welp, case closed.

Patryk Wieczorek So what? Rare metal ores ARE rare minerals, kurwa.

LOL! Well in the game they are called rare metals

Fernando SV What influence would a psychologist have on AI? Like I get the community thing but AI?

cognitive psychology focuses on thought, intelligence and all the mental processes Neuropsychology focuses on the way the mind and the brain behave and operate together they are the key to understanding, programming and developing an artificial mind or even... consciousness

Fernando SV ohhh
