Description
Mars Sandbox started as a fun experiment: what if I could build a little colony on Mars and then mess with it? Build Olympic City, change the time of day, throw dust storms, solar flares, meteorites and extreme cold at it, then try to recover. This is just V1. There’s a lot I want to improve, expand and polish from here. The goal is to slowly turn this little experiment into a beautiful, detailed Mars simulation.
