A scientific impossibility.

[magnetaress]

I enjoy John Ayliff's seedship. I will happily click away in a very programmatic fashion. Mindfuly colonizing world after world. I often set my colonists up against harsh odds or uniquely suboptimal scenarios on purpose. I've learned how to create dystopian police states with formulaic regularity. Most worlds seem believable, and nothing is left to luck or chance really. The scores are predictable and there's very little happenstance.

But a very hot high gravity ocean world with a marginally breathable atmosphere? It seems a bit far fetched. With seas boiling at the surface..

I could see one of these hot, that's just steamy jungle Dagobah or Dune hot.

Very hot is the surface of venus hot. 600 degrees. F°

I like the enthusiasm with this thread but I encourage you to explore more scientific research about space. Theories are wonderful but they're still a theory.

That said... Venus is extremely hot, hot enough to vaporize humans. So, in comparison,.. Mars has ice caps. Mars has water. Mars has seasons, because it's tilted similarly to earth.
It's far easier to setup a colony with our knowledge of mars than it would be venus.

We need to remember that we can't just fuck up earth and head to mars. If we have the ability to teraform mars, we have the same ability to fix earth. Climate change is a real thing, if all the ice on earth melted it would be up to statue of liberties torch bottom. Meaning all the coastal cities such a NYC would be completely under water.

Space is the future of the human race. in all shapes and forms.
I am in love with the idea of colonizing space and even more interested in the idea of mining in space. So many resources we could tap into instead of depleting earth.

And for those who think the moon landing was faked. It's EASIER to go to the moon than to fake it. Years of documents and research went into making it possible.

Yeah, I absolutely agree.

Check out this super high score! I've seen a few higher in earlier versions, it's much harder to get this score now. It's a really interesting one too...saving all colonists results in some good results, but rarely hail Mary's like this.

I like to think of this one as sorta wild western orcs and humans living and working side by side to tame a wild Grizzly Hills, aptly portrayed in World of Warcrafts Northrend.

Yes space is larpy
