Conquer the Marsolympics in Terraformers
Terraformers update for turn-based colony builder game releases Marsolympics on Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks o the awesome team at Asteroid Lab for their creative magic. Available on Steam, GOG, and Humble Store..
Ready to show Earth who's boss in the Marsolympics? In the new Terraformers update, Asteroid Lab brings us an event where we compete against Earth to prove Mars has the most talented and fittest population. So let's dive into what you can expect on Linux and Steam Deck.
Asteroid Lab just added the Marsolympics in a free update for Terraformers. In this event, you get to organize the Marsolympics and train more athletes than Earth to keep most of the gold medals on the Red Planet. Win the Marsolympics, and you'll enjoy a boost in global comfort of living until the next games. Lose, and you'll face a dip in comfort until the next round. These epic competitions happen every 8 turns, giving both planets a chance to win or seek revenge!
The Marsolympics event will show up in your first 3 games and has a higher chance of appearing during the actual Olympic Games period on Earth. Get ready to train those athletes.
Many Terraformers players have been asking for this, and now the update is here. Asteroid Lab added all the scenario goals to the custom mode. Now, you can choose any goal you want to pursue and even set them higher than the final scenario goals. Mix and match goals, expectations, and setting difficulty to your heart’s content.
Three new projects are also available now in the turn-based colony builder: the Airport, the Blimp Station, and the Airborne Wind Turbine. Each of these interacts with the planet's atmospheric density in unique ways. I won't spoil the details – since you'll have to discover them in the title.
