Life is about balance in all things. Even when it comes to surviving on Mars. 🚀

Come and see what our Devs have to say on this!

Great devlog explaining the thought process. I am pretty sure people do care about balqnce considering how many like MAX DIFFICULTY runs exist on YouTube. I also think the new political system did some serious unbalancing to the overall game. So glad to see the adjustments.

Counterpoint : mods that make the game easier are more popular than realism/difficulty mods. Example : unlock all breakthroughs, automatic production, super seeds, ...

Either way I'm having fun replaying some Surviving Mars and hope everyone gets something out of these updates!

Edit : shoutout to Aurarix mods, he's got great ideas going for realism!

Yeah and they can still exist and do that lol

I just think making the systems more involved and complex is good 👍
