Mission to Mars
The year is 2044. Earth has gone to ruins due to ideological and political turmoil, Mars is now the only viable alternative for humanity, which needs to start anew.
You have been hired for your exceptional city-planning skills to prepare planet Mars for colonies to come. Your mission is to create a sustainable utopia. Your budget is set at 1 mil., use it wisely.
You will start at the Daedalia planum, which has been found out to be most optimal for supporting life. The grounds have been in parts made fertaile, food production will be your primary priority. The breathing air, water, and sewage problem has been taken care of for you, scientists have developed ways to extract vital elements from Mars’ carbon dioxide, argon, and nitrogen.
The rocket landing site is far away — all the way on the other side of the planet.
The only way goods and colonists can travel to and from Daedalia planum is by train.

There is a color LUT for Mars by XAVE available, but it is very toxic and only for the brave. 😉
ABOUT
This is a savegame mission, something I’ve been fooling around with, mostly for fun, and to see how far Cities: Skylines can go without any modding. First savegame mission can be found here.
The map has been created by using an actual heightmap of Mars, not in 1:1 scale though. The reworked heightmap can be downloaded here[www.cimexchange.com].
You will need to use your imagination in order to fully enjoy this.
There are certain limitations and potential problems as well, feedback is welcome.
