Green Mars Beta - Advanced Branch

BETA TESTING ON OUR NEW DLC, GREEN MARS on the Advanced Branch

Our biggest and richest update has come to the Red Planet! With the Green Mars free DLC, we are introducing a set of new features that will make the Green Mars Stage of terraforming a lot more interactive and fun. Help us test the new features on the ADVANCED BRANCH.

BUT FIRST A DISCLAIMER
This update is so big and different that your current saves won't work with the new features and simulation model. So if you want to try this new features on our ADVANCED BRANCH, just know that you will have to start with a fresh campaign.

MARS ELYSIUM
The sum of all these new features will truly empower you to make Mars a garden planet. Using the tools at your disposal, you will be able to transform the atmosphere of Mars, that will allow you to convert the mineral soil into a fertile ground. Then, you will be able to design and landscape Mars the way you want it! Trees on Elysium Mons? You got it!

FLOWING WATER
The Water Must Flow! We've updated our water simulation so we can render how rivers will flow into valleys and craters. The most precious substance on Mars now can reach the deeper confines of the desert. We've also added Water Pipes, so where mother nature can't do its bidding, science will.

BIOMES
Now there are 11 possible biomes for Mars. Each individual biome has different conditions that play on the growth of the flora & fauna on Mars. Part of the challenge of terraformation will be to properly place biodomes, open farms & crater farms where they are certain to grow.

FARMS
We've added two new food processing buildings that will grow real food so the scientists on Mars can work happier and harder. These structures use running water as a resource.

FAUNA
Capybaras on Mars! By popular demand, both from fans and developers, animals will show up once the corresponding tech is researched and the planetary conditions allows them to thrive.

WATER LENS
In order to make sense of the new running water system, we added a lens that can show where water is generated, and where it's needed.
