Terraformer Expedition to Mars Major Update 11/18/15

[I]- Leo's write up is now an option in the PDA[/I]
- The html parser is a very stripped down parser.
- It uses the as an indicator of a new section,
this section text will appear on the main index page of the PDA Guide
- It uses the NAME= tag of any - Although it supports a number of & statements it does not support them all.

[I]- Water cycle[/I]
- This is pretty much a rewrite.
- A couple of liquid type block rendering issues were addressed.
- The melt rate of (any solid to liquid/gas), now uses a chance value.
- The precipitation rate of any liquid to gas now uses a chance value.
- The rain rate of any gas to a solid now uses a chance value.
- The value of these chance values can be changed via the 'WaterCycle' hack code.
- To make rendering of the water melt more realistic and the code run faster,
fully obscured water blocks have a high probability of turning back to a solid.
- Water flowing now goes in 8 directions instead of 4, water flow direction and speed have been improved.
- Stand alone water puddles have a high chance of evaporating, as do higher elevation water blocks
- Lower elevation water blocks have lower chance of evaporating.
- This makes water collection in craters much easier and doable.
- Clouds systems have been introduced.
- Two vortexes are created on the planet, one southern latitude, the other in the north.
- Clouds have been added to the GPS, so you can visibly see these vortexes in action.
- These vortexes suck in clouds, they rotate the planet either CW or CCW depending on the latitude.
- Clouds in these vortexes have a high chance of dumping rain.
- So what happens is, over time the planet will accumulate bands of water
- These bands could be funneled to an appropriate player determined spot, like a crater, via a player built canal.
- The size of the vortex can be changed via the 'WaterCycle' hack code.


[I]- Vortices[/I]
- Hellas Planitia, Argyre Planitia, Valles Marineris each has a vortex that orbits these features.
- (Look at the fractal files to these to see how I add these)
- (Look at the block defs to see the options on how a Vortex if defined as a block type/
- Planum Boreum has a commented out storm, you can uncomment this to get a 4th
- Note: Clouds are always attracted to the nearest vortex, so an added vortex might not get any clouds based on their location.

[I]- Iron core fingers are smaller[/I]

[I]This isn't one of those games that you sit down and click away with one eye open and half a brain engaged -- this game is HARD. Not hard like impossible for bad reasons, or stupid puzzles. You're marooned on Mars with no support, no other people, and no plan but to survive. How easy would that be in real life? And you have an entire planet to deal with, and explore. You have to change Mars itself into Earth using pretty much nothing as starting equipment. It's a long, long process and you have to really THINK about what you're doing the whole way. This game isn't for the average 6 year old IQ who just wants to blow stuff up. You have to build and maintain everything you need to live, keep it all topped up, hope you are able to grow enough food to survive, bust your butt to ensure you can get enough fuel to just keep from freezing, keep the air flowing, and keep every bit of lichen, or bacteria, or shrub alive in conditions harsher than anything Earth has to offer. Making Mars into Earth isn't easy, but man is it worth it[/I]

Terraformer Expedition to Mars from VTSS on sale for Halloween 35% off

Centuries of misuse and neglect have transformed our home world into a blistered ruin. In desperation, the dwindling resources of all mankind are pooled together one last time. Three terraforming ships set forth towards Mars, the ancient deity of War, of blood. Of our final hope. As they begin their approach to the red planet a blinding light erupts from behind the moon Deimos, and the last chance for the human race plummets to the arms of the awaiting God.

Beware: someone, something brought those ships down.

You will create a complete atmosphere, hydrosphere, and a complex biosphere - step by agonizing step - as you fight to stave off the cold, the hunger, and the loneliness of a world that will kill you without a thought, with no one to hear you scream.
