Spectember D1: Adaptive Radiation

Mars was among the most important core colonies of humanity for a long time of its primordial interstellar age, terraformed and maintained by a rudimentary “planetary life support” system to keep its earth like environment but unfortunately that did not stop the erosive nature of solar wind making the ecosystem to decay, and as the solar system started to fade out of the human galactic influence of power this only got worse becoming into a forgotten relic of better times that accomplished its goal, that had to eventually die.

It was not until the arrival of the proper methods to keep planets almost permanently habitable thanks to the “Planetary meta engineering” thousands of years later that mars finally was given a stable habitable form with technologies that allowed the start of its own geological activity preserving a proper magnetic field and so its atmosphere.

From there little of the original first wave of life preserved apart of a handful of survivors of the early ecosystem: gastropods, crustaceans, grass, worms, lots of lichen and algae species and one single species of tetrapod still alive: Bibrons’s geckos (Pachydactylus bibronii), resilient little reptiles which were thrown alongside others vertebrates on the terraforming days to fill up the new habitable planet, but upon the severe degradation of the Martian ecosystem they became the last ones standing.

For matters of conservative view mars was not reinstalled with more fauna apart of the one that survived, more as a symbol of the resilience of the life that could endure the hostile times, millions of years passed and the humans that once lived there have long vanished and left the world being inherited by the small squamates.

15 million years at least, and the Martian fauna looks like a reincarnation of the early Triassic, specially in what was once the Argyre basin now holds the main biodiversity of Martian geckos, all descendant of that single species, with nothing to compete but small beetles and large snails they just turned the chances on diversify in different sizes and feeding habits eventually specializing in considerable new forms, the beginning of different diverse dynasties of a probably long-lasting habitable Mars.

theoretically, I should love terraforming in video games, but I can never get into it. cities skylines? i give up after an hour. animal crossing? I give up after an hour. sims 3 create-a-world? take a wild guess.

it’s so difficult and time consuming to make it look good and it’s more frustrating than it is fun.

"The old 'near-Solar sphere' is a value trap and an economic dead zone. It mainly consists of sealed bubblehabs strung about remote orbits, an abandoned and picked-apart Dyson swarm here and there, and a few ramshackle terraformings completed in the days before the perfection of transgenic ecology or even the invention of the Nilsen drive."

You try to recall the scent of your childhood.

"The planet Mars is the oldest terraforming in the household of Man. Long before people learned how to skip time through space laterally, they made long journeys between the inner planets of Sol, spending months on these voyages inside small canisters of air, ferrying bacteria cultures and modified plants. It's a wonder how they could capture and de-orbit even a single comet, let alone multiple.

The Mars of today is not as impressive as it once seemed. Compounding soil and biodiversity issues have stunted its upland forests. The air is thin and difficult to breathe. The outdated magnetic control station in orbit is experiencing major malfunctions, and the Mars Historical Preservation Association is facing challenges in raising funds for renovations from deep inside the backwater that is the near-Solar volume."

How long has it been since you felt the warmth of another embracing you?

"'Moodie' is a derogatory term used to describe a person who has been created through the splicing of human and non-human genetic material, resulting in a chimera, or through uplifting, which involves significant morphological changes to a non-human animal that enable bipedalism and the imprinting of human-level cognition. These individuals were typically created by antisocial and or wealthy individuals seeking to fulfill a sexual fantasy, only to be horrified by the results. The term 'moodie' is believed to have originated from the profound loneliness and despair experienced by these outcast beings as they traversed back alleys and shadowed streets, impotent and bitter.

Both the Catholic Church and Society for Revolutionary Transformation consider the creation of moodies to be an abomination, a trespass against the integrity of the inhuman. Most states concur."

Please don't walk away.

Animation of an old shader of a terraformed mars.

Drivers are bad. A lot of the values and lengths need to be tweeked to make the transitions smoother. I probably also would want the entire animation to be longer to allow for slower transitions in certain parts. The only issue with this is time. This render took nearly 24 hours and I really don't have the patience right now to deal with the small tweeks needed to adjust values.

Thats it for now. goodbye again for another 3 months as I dig around for another thing to make.

Get to know you video game edition! Tagged by the wonderful @ratcready

No pressure tags for @fooolisher @jekyllnahyena @certified-anakinfucker @jadowdra and anyone else that would like to! :)

Guess who forgot to add the blank as well 🙈

Uhh ez egy nagyon jó játék volt most is. A Távoli Gyarmatok kiegészítő bár hosszabbá teszi a játékot, de a plusz nyersanyagok miatt jobban lehet így fejleszteni. Még talán sose volt ennyire beépítve a Mars.

Kb 3.5 óra játékidő. 97, 92, 91 pont lett a vége. Megnyertem 🤩
