Terraforming isn't the only thing coming to Surviving Mars, you will also be breeding animals

Yeah your right I got the wrong figure. LOL way off, I thought ti was high. Anyway 25kg of dry matter, still allot when you could use that soil/land/space for growing food that can be consumed by humans directly. :)

Animals consume produce, and crap/fart allot. Now you can recycle that but you are left with a animal like cows eating ALL of your green produce, you won't be able to grow enough grass to feed them. Cows eat 100 pounds a day btw!

So compared to humans, they are insanely expensive to keep for the sake of some milk and maybe meat down the line :)

A case can be made for chickens however.

TBO animals would be a disaster, amazingly inefficient for food production, they would also eat all your plant food. We actually have synthetic alternatives even today for all that stuff which would no doubt be MUCH far along in development by the time we ever get to Mars :)

YES YES, I know its only a game, I just hope we don't get a generation of idiots thinking things like this are a good idea :/

Is this game better to run via steamplay then using the native client?

Surviving Mars: Green Planet to introduce terraforming, releasing in Q2 this year

The whole idea of terraforming mars is a bit of a pipe dream. The amount of energy and resources needed makes it impractical and impossible for humans to achieve, but whatever..

gnomedesktop, hmm not for the arch build, does need gtk3 however. I don't see the big issue, I'm using plasma5 atm.

Needs scanning for already installed games, needs to also be able to scan for GOG games and humble store. ATM it assumes everything is uninstalled, even if the files are installed and flagged as installed by steam.

I think Russian steam keys sell for like 1/3rd the cost compared to western countries, it's the only way they can get decent sales numbers in some places unfortunately. A universal price for everything would be nice in a perfect world however... but not practical in the end.

Aspyr Media confirm the free "Ultra HD" DLC for Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel is coming to Linux

Quoting: BielFPsNice news. Unfortunately since Borderlands 3 will be Epic Store exclusive,
I think I read somewhere it was only going to be exclusive for 6 months, so maybe not too bad..
