Every now and then I look at my latest model of a terraformed Mars. One of these days I'll get around to completing the enhancement down to 6 m resolution. In this thread I'll drop a few screenshots of my favorite places.

Another setup complete. This one was far smaller and less complex than anything else this year, taking only a day to complete; no ceilings, ledgers, caps, or funky angles. The only thing that sucked about it is I think I broke a rib last week and was in terrible pain the entire…

Wild mirage of moonset as viewed from the International @Space_Station. The distortion and colors are caused by atmospheric refraction and Rayleigh scattering (and I think the ripples are likely from some temperature inversions? I’ll let the internet correct me…). Getting this…

Started inspecting/seasoning the next setup. Going to be overseeing a second one simultaneously, with another one already lined up for when these two are done. There's a continuous buildup of incoming stock taking up space that we haven't had time to take care of doing setups.
