"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
Charles Darwin

Life

One of the greatest thing about life is migration and the ability to response in changes. Many millions years before 2010, life on Earth was limited into the seas...

In the 21st century, Sims was sick and tired of the environmental and social problems, like wars and global warming. They want a new way of life, new horizons, new values.

At the same time, others prefer not to rebuild the Terran society, but to build a new society on a new world. Mars.

How all will end? Who knows? Everything starts from somewhere. This is our start, a small colony. It was a scientific base, but soon turns into the first colony, full of dreams and hopes. This is... Hope-1, the first alien colony.

This is the beginning of one of the millions of stories in the Milky Way galaxy. Welcome to Eden :)

---

O.K., back to 2010. This is my first Mayor Diaries and, as you can see, it's a science fiction story. Be warned, it's not supposed to be realistic ;D . It's all about space colonization, future cities and not only. Any suggestion is welcomed, but I'm not going to build a coal power plant just because is more realistic than an antimatter plant $%Grinno$% . There is a very large story behind Eden, so don't think that this story will end up soon ;)

Hope that you like it :)

(By the way, today is my birthday. Eden is my gift to everybody :) )

Something a little different to the standard MD. Looking forward to see how this develops.

Will you be using a lot of your own BAts? I notice you have previously made quite a few lots that will fit into this storyline.

Goodluck

Dave (tooheys)

PS - Happy Birthday

And happy birthday, T7!  Good day to start a MD, and especially one that takes us to somewhere unique.

Good luck!


David

I'm always in for an MD with an original concept, looking forward to more...

PS: happy birthday

tooheys: I hope that you'll enjoy the rest of the story. You can see my add-on in my signature. The B.A.T.s, the props and the texture belong to SimMars team. I just relot them to make the buildings fit better on Earth. And thanks for the wishes :)

dedgren: Thanks for the wishes too. I hope that you'll like the story :)

WC_EEND: Thanks for the wishes too and i hope that you'll like the story :)


"We were nomads, and we are still nomads"
Carl Sagan

Sims in an intelligent specie with plenty of curiosity and needs for exploration and new adventures. Their ancestors explored Earth and now the history repeats, this time on a new world. But why? Why we should colonize Mars? For the same reason that the ancient Sims explored and colonize Europe, Asia and Africa.

For the same reason that some Sims dare to explored and colonized the New World.

For the same reason that Sims explored all the Terran seas, and now are ready to explore a new sea.

Earth was suffered with terrible problems. Global warming, Aids, nationalism, nuclear weapons, many of big problems. Some Sims prefer to stay on Earth and rebuild the home planet. Other prefer to leave Earth and build from scratch a new, better world on Mars. But why? Exploration, better economy, scientific studies, the joy of a new adventure, the creation of the Utopia, spreading the beauty of life elsewhere, survive of Simkind in longterm... many reasons to build our dreams on Mars.

But why on Mars? Why not on the Moon or in the Terran oceans? Because Mars is the most suitable to support life with the technology of the middle of the 21st century. Mercury and Venus are too hot and too close to the Sun. Terran seas can easily bring psychological problems to the colonists. Moon has no atmosphere, but still it soon became the biggest spaceport ever made so far. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune has no solid surface and the conditions there are too deadly. Mars however has atmosphere, 24 hours days and nights, a bit cold but not extremely cold, good enough gravity and almost close to Earth.

Also, Mars has plenty of cool features to explore. Olympus Mons is the largest mountain in the Solar System. 3 times taller that the Terran Everest! Valles Marineris is the largest canyon it the Solar System. 10 times longer than the Terran Grand Canyon!!

There are many questions about Mars, but this is the most important. Will be Mars the new Garden of Eden? Is it possible to build the always dreamed Utopia on a cold, desert planet? Had those Sims right, when they said that Mars is the next planetary homeland? Stay tuned :)

"We build this city, we built the city on rock 'n' roll"
The Starship

Welcome to the year 2050. You, the viewer of this Mayor Diary, are now inside a small spacecraft. You are going to Hope-1, the first extraterrestrial city made by the Sims. Here is Hope-1 from high.

Prepare for landing. This is the spaceport of Hope-1, small but effective.

Let's take an electric taxi and explore the colony. Here is the older part of the colony, with plenty of block of flats and shops. You will also notice some small industries.

No matter how rich or poor you are, you are always welcomed to Hope-1. Here are some homes, small and bigger.

East from the central Hope-1, we'll see the Martian farms. Colonists need food, plenty of food, but you don't need to take over the whole planet for some food. Just dig underground ;D

Hi Terring7, your birthday is over by now, but I'd like to congratulate you anyway. Maybe I'm the first for your next birthday?

Nice story, good lots.
But a spaceport with landing strip? In the thin atmosphere of Mars you try indeed to fly with wings? I think not!

We, the SimMartian colonists of Hope-1, wish you not for more, but for less. Less hate, less ignorance, less wars, less lack of respect, less environmental disasters, less pain, less poverty, less sadness. No matter if you are American, Russian, Greek, German, Italian, Japanese, Australian. No matter if you believe in Christ, Islam, Flying Spaghetti Monster. No matter if you are Caucasian, Negro or anything else, child, woman, rich or poor, Socialist or Patriot. All humans on Earth are brothers and sisters. All life forms on Earth, from dolphins to roses, are brothers and sisters. We are all members of the same family, both planetary and cosmic. Let's work for a cleaner, peaceful planet. Let's use the scientific knowledges to fight ignorance, to gain wisdom, to evolve both technological and spiritual. Let's spread the beauty of life and intelligence in the vastness of the Universe.

From Terring and the SimMars colonists, Happy New Year!! :) :)

"The bureaucracy is expanding, to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy"
Oscar Wilde

Same for life on Earth. Life need to expand in order to prosper. This is the reason of why we are not still worms in the seas. Same for Simkind. Exploration, expanding and colonization prevent Sims to still live in caves. Same for the Martian colonization. Hope-1 becomes a bit messy, so expansion is vital.

Remember that i wrote to you about 1 new colony? Well this was true, but having enough time to waste, why not building an another colony too? In this update we'll going to explore Logic-2 and Faith-3, the 2 new colonies on Mars. But first, the historical background of 21st century. Before that, an important note. In the 22nd century NanoCatastrophe take place. An out of control swam of nanorobots remove many important historical data and destroy some of the greatest cities ever build. Because of this, we don't know who was the first Sim on Mars or what happen about the economical crisis in Greece.

We have however some informations about the 21st century, but we are not sure when (and if) take place.

U.S.A. is still a great superpower, but China is coming very fast. Russia becomes a member of European Union. French scientists proved that cold fusion is possible. American computer engineers creates the first robotic Sim, the first creature with artificial intelligence. Japanese physicists discovered the Theory of Everything. N.A.S.A., E.S.A. and other national space agencies collapsed. U.N. founds the W.S.O. (World Space Organization), to keep exploring and colonizing space. Radical ideas, like The Venus Project, becomes really popular. Moon transforms into the largest spaceport and space mining facility ever build... yet. Electric cars were finally beginning to replace the gasoline cars. Oil lobby groups tried to sabotage the ecological technologies... but they failed :D . Quantum computers star to replace the boring, electronic laptops and P.C.s.  And Hope-1 is now ready to expand.

Thanks to W.S.O., everybody can travel to planet Mars and star a new live. The result is this...

Hi Elias,

This is quite some work here. Beautiful cities and images. Please, go on!

I've missed a swath of excellent updates over the past while!  Fantastic work, this looks really nice. 

I particularly like how you're creating visible patterns and tightly packed cities.  It is probably how a real colony would look as well.

wonderful update  &apls I love the planning in Faith-3, it may be chaotic, but it's very nice  :P

Fantastic update again my friend!!! Awesome!!!  :thumbsup:

Let me apologize for the delay of this update. There are some days that i feel that my life is nothing more than a bucket of craps, so i don't have the enthusiasm for this City Journal. I don't know why i feel this, but sometimes i feel that everything i do is just an another one piece of trash. I guess that everybody has his/her ups and downs.

"The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program."
Larry Niven

Welcome to 2060 A.D. (91 A.T.)

In the 21st century we had a great panic in space exploration and colonization, even greater that the 1960' space race to the Moon. This time is not U.S.A. vs U.S.S.R., but life on Earth vs extinction!

Moon becomes the greatest spaceport ever made by Sims yet. The low gravity of the Moon made this world an excellent shipyard. Moon also contain plenty of water and Helium-3, making this world a gigantic mine facility. This brings plenty of rich Sims to colonize the Moon.

Moon evolved into the new Hollywood. There are plenty of luxurious homes on the Moon, with plenty of high-society stuff. SimLunars adopted a simple way of life and also become great traders.

In order to help the rest of Simkind (especially SimTerrans), SimLunars invent the "Aldrin Calendar". This calendar begins from 1969, where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin was the first Sims on the Moon in the Tranquility Sea. Using this calendar, 2011 A.D. (Áno Domini) is 42 A.T. (After Tranquility), 1969 A.D. is 0 A.T., 1869 A.D. is 100 B.T. (Before Tranquility) and 2069 A.D. is 100 A.T.. The aim of this calendar is a universal calendar that anybody can use it... no matter if you are Christian, Jude or Muslim.

SimLunars and SimMartian, despite their different lifestyles and philosophies, are excellent allies. SimLunars provides water and Helium-3 to Mars, while SimMartians provides building materials and technologies to the Moon. As you can see, Earth is not the number-one-vital planet anymore.

Welcome to planet Mars. A desert planet, with plenty of promises for a new, better life. It looks an "ordinary" red planet, but did you see something?

Time to land on Mars and have a look at the Martian lifestyle. First of all, the buildings themselves. The design style defined for Mars is called Utilitarian design. As the name already implies it's main characteristic is functionality. This style is defined by its simple and minimalistic building approach. SimMartians doesn't care about luxurious buildings, especially if they don't protect them from the low temperatures, the low atmospheric pressure, the U.V. rays because of the lack of ozone layer, the solar winds because of the weak magnetic field. So without those "ugly" and "unrealistic" buildings, as SimTerrans describe them, SimMartians will be dead! Besides, the Utilitarian design brings also plenty of advantages, like faster construction and recycling. Here are some examples. This image shows homes for the high society of Mars.

Demolishing a building is a very bad idea. Pieces of the building could damage the surround buildings and bring decompression! This is why the older buildings just dismantle by robots. Later the pieces goes to recycling centers for modifications, to make them ready for the creation of new buildings.

Mars is a cold, desert planet. SimMartians needs plenty of water, but this planet doesn't have plenty of it. This is why SimLunar cargo ships are always welcomed. However SimMartians are still looking for water on Mars, especially underground.

You can't build something without energy. The colonists use plenty of solar power plants, special design to absorb the little amounts of solar rays. In this picture we can also see electrostatic power plants, that trap the power of Martian thunders and provide energy for a really large amount of time.

Nuclear fusion is the best achievement in energy from the invention of the wheel! Still it needs hydrogen, and there is plenty of hydrogen in water. One glass of water gives enough electricity for a metropolis for a whole year. But Mars hasn't plenty of water. This is why SimMartians use nuclear fission power plants. Unlike the nuclear reactors on Earth, the reactors of Mars are 150% safe. Even the problem of the toxic wastes in solved, by using advance nanotechnology to turn them into safe building materials.

SimMartians doesn't care about garbages. They know how to create as less of them as possible. They are not shopping freaks like SimTerrans. However they still make some garbages, but they don't worry about. Recycling is their best friend. They also research for new methods of waste management.

Just like SimTerrans and SimLunars, SimMartians needs plenty of food. To prevent turning a whole planet into a messy farm, SimMartians use underground farms and advance hydroponics systems. In fact, a whole colony can build over those underground farms!

SimMartians also need ways to go anywhere they want. Streets, roads and buses are fine, but not enough. This is why use a lot of the railroads. There are 3 kind of Martian railroads: Primary, Flexible and Magnetic.

Primary railroads are the most simple. They are important for carrying industrial cargo and passengers. The Martian trains however can't run as fast as the Terran trains, for 2 reasons. The first reason is the gravity of Mars. It's 3 times lower than the gravity on Earth, so derails on the primary railroads will be often in high speeds... especially on the rough Martian surface. The second reason is the atmosphere. Aerodynamic trains doesn't mean better speeds, because the Martian atmosphere is 100 times thiner that the Terran one. The low top speed however has some interesting advantages. The rail-road crossings are much more safe and the railroad curves and slopes can be more steep, making it more flexible.

The Flexible a.k.a. personal railroads are mostly a taxi-train hybrid. All you need is to get underground, get on a personal train and tell into the computer your destination.

Magnetic trains are the fastest trains on Mars. The train itself "hug" the magnetic rail, so derails are a thing of the past. Those trains can reach supersonic speeds without any danger!!

Education is important for the SimMartians. This is a elementary school. Using quantum computers and the MarNet (Martian Internet), kids can learn anything they want from their comfortable home. Chatting with other students is also possible. You can now have plenty of friend on Mars, no matter where you are.

An exotic experiment happens on Mars. Quantum computers open the road to the Cybernated Government. Mars is evolving into a cybernated society, in which computers could replace the outmoded system of electing politicians, that in most cases represent the entrenched vested interests.

This update, in your MD, it's like a big science fiction movie!!! I liked very much, my friend!!! Awesome work!!!  :thumbsup:

Awesome!  :)
However, I do suggest planning out your cities a bit more better, the CBD is somewhat repetitious and the transition between densities doesn't work well.  Take the time and use the buildingplop cheat, you can plop any building from your plugins folder!  :) 

Remember this: 

More diversity = More appealing = More rates.  ;D

Great work with the intro in this update. I really enjoy how you show us the details, it's nice to see a different kind of cities  &apls

Tomas Neto: And this is only the beginning my friend. There is a much longer story. How long? Better not to tell and spoil the story ;D . Glad to see that you like it :)

Evillions8: Thanks for your comment and your suggestion :) . To be honest, I'm not a big fan of plopable buildings for 3 reasons:

1) I think that watching the city upgrades is more fun than having a city with static buildings and nothing change.
2) Tall plopable buildings are very easy to get them. Just build them. But tall grownable buildings are more difficult to get them, making them "mini rewards" for your effort.
3) Playing with plopable buildings can mess your city (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4297.0) if you are not careful enough.

However I'm not against the use of those buildings. I just prefer to use them in really serious situations. Here is an example.

The S.W.F.C. (the cyan skyscraper) is plopable, because my Sims screamed for more commercial jobs. In Hope-1 you will also notice a big, black skyscraper. This is plopable too. I don't have any problem with them, i just prefer to not overuse them. However i prefer to make extra lots with extra sizes. Some skyscrapers, for example, are in 2x2 or 3x3 lots. But having them in 1x1 and 2x2 lots will makes them appear faster and easer.

Of course this is just me. But I'll give a try in the plop cheat ;)

(As about rates, everything i make is for sharing a story and not for extra rates. If i want hundreds of rates, i would download 10 gigabytes of add-ons and spent all day and all night in front of a P.C. for extreme micromanagement and realism. Not for me my friend $%Grinno$% )

I hope that you like it. In upcoming updates we'll see the evolution of Love-4. But in the next 2 updates, we'll going to answer many questions. Something strange is happening on Mars. What's that? Stay tuned to find it out :)

Wow...  :shocked2:

A huge update!!! Very big!!!
Fantastic again!!!

Tomas Neto: Thanks for your comment :)


"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny..."."

There is life on Mars! There is life on Mars! &dance
What? Little green men with flying sauces who want to take over the Earth? :D :party:
No man! >:( :angrymore:

O.K., let's get serious.

When the first Sims visit Mars, they didn't found something to prove that there is life on the Red Planet. They only discovered fossils of ancient microbes, suggesting that was a living planet. Well... it was. Mars is dead, said the SimTerrans scientists.

But in 2060 A.D. (91 A.T.), an unbelievable discover take place in the North Pole of Mars. Before that, let me meet you with Frank, an explorer SimMartian cyborg with the ability to survive in the Martian surface without any protection. It looks that the first generation of 100% Martians in finally here. Anyway, this is Frank.

Frank deployed from a V.T.O.L. airplane to explore the North Pole. An ordinary mission, with a shocking surprise!

Plants? On Mars? Impossible! And yes, there are plants on Mars.

Because of the lower gravity, all those plants where very tall. Some of them had also very large levees to collect more solar energy.

Frank thought. If there are plants, how about animals? And soon, Frank discovered Martian animals!

After some D.N.A. analysis, scientists learned more about those creatures. This non-sapient creature is a herbivore, feeding on small Martian plants, and has a scaly skin covered in a wax-like substance which protects it from the ultraviolet radiation. It also has a thick membrane covering its eyes, in order to shield them from violent sandstorms. Due to this membrane, however, the creature has very poor eyesight. The creature is a quadruped, and uses its strong hind limbs for jumping, which is a very efficient way of locomotion on a low-gravity planet. Due to the frigid temperatures of Mars, the creature's blood contains ethyl alcohol, rather than water. Since the alcohol has a much lower melting point, it remains liquid at very low temperatures, preventing the creature from freezing.

And the name of them: Martian Bear. Why? When the American astronomer Carl Sagan suggests better research for more complex life forms on Mars, some scientists made jokes about "Carl Sagan's Martian polar bears". With the discovery of the Martian bears, Carl Sagan took his "revenge".

While Frank explored the place, he heard creepy sounds from the sky. But is wasn't the wind. Soon a flying creature landed close to him.

This creature made those scary sounds. Soon it attacks a Martian bear to eat it.

After some D.N.A. analysis, scientists learned more about those creatures. This non-sapient creature is a carnivore, feeding on Martian bears. Unlike Martian bears, those flying animals doesn't eat by chewing their food. It's liquivorous, something like the Terran spiders. This animal use a retractable appendage on its mouth that it uses to attack and subdue prey, which pierces the victim's skin and injects digestive juices into the body. The victim is insides liquefy, allowing the flying animal to suck out this for sustenance. Like Martian bears, those animals has also ethyl alcohol in their blood and skin covered in a wax-like substance.

And the name of them: Martian Siren. Why? Because of their creepy siren-like sounds. It's also a tribute to Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and his book "The Sirens of Titan"

Frank keeps exploring the place, but soon the ground starts to shake. An earthquake? Not exactly, something is going to appear from underground. Maybe is a Martian geyser, maybe is a... MONSTER!!!!! AAAHHHH!!!!

After some D.N.A. analysis, scientists learned more about those creatures. This non-sapient creature is an omnivore feeding on plants, Martian bears and sirens. It's gigantic mouth and extremely hard teeth allows it to eat almost everything, even rocks. This giant lives underground, so it doesn't have ethyl alcohol in their blood and skin covered in a wax-like substance. In fact, it's the only Martian animal that is closer to the Terran animals, making it a truly alien life form.

And the name of them: Martian Sandworms. Why? It's a tribute of the legendary sandworms of the plant Arrakis, from Frank Herbert's novel "Dune".

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg163.imageshack.us%2Fimg163%2F6257%2Fmartiansandworm3.jpg&hash=0b2695c3845ca221a2c147af0e856d4a1e6b40f3)

Now this is something really cool. A small ecosystem on Mars! What next? An ancient civilization? Maybe, especially after the studding of the mysterious area of Cydonia. Cydonia is almost close to Faith-3, so exploring there is easier.

There are many interesting objects to explore, but the famous Martian Face takes the cake. The American mission Mars Global Surveyor proved that it was nothing more than hills. But after a great sandstorm, the dust of the Face removed. So, are you sure that it still just a hill?

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg253.imageshack.us%2Fimg253%2F302%2Ffaceis.jpg&hash=36a7f636a48d1c445cf3b376397137dc29dcc0cd)

Here we can see a scientific base in Cydonia. The exploration of this place is not very easy however. Many strange phenomenas happens here, making Cydonia the Martian Area 51. The Face is the most creepy.

There is a door that leads the explorers to the inside of the Face. The Face was artificially made, but by who? Many scientists explored the inside of the Face. 2 of them disappeared!! How? Did they found a labyrinth-like structure and get lost? Did they found a tunnel that leads them to somewhere else? Did they found a star gate-like object and now they are out of the Solar System? Nobody found them.

But the Face is not the only strange object in Cydonia. This mountain for example. It looks more like an arcology, a building large enough to support a whole city inside it.

In the end of the day, Frank waited for the airplane to get him. But before that, he discovered something really beautiful. A monolith-like object, with a hologram of a galaxy on it. Frank was surrounded by ancient ruins and a whole ecosystem, but this was his greater discovery, as he said. He even tried to touch the monolith.

This was the last transmission. Frank disappeared.


The discovery of life on Mars was the half Martian Shock, according of SimTerrans and SimLunars description. In the next update, we'll discover the other half. Stay tuned :)

Ok, that's a particularly innovative use of spore screenshots!  The growing martian city in your latest updates looks great!

"Now, somehow, in some new way, the sky seemed almost alien."
Lyndon B. Johnson

Welcome to 2061 A.D. (92 A.T.). Simkind was shocked with the discovery of native Martian life forms last year. This year, a new shock is coming out. Before this, let's see some interesting things about the interplanetary civilization of the Sims. Sims are now splinted by 3 races, SimTerrans, SimLunars and SimMartians. SimTerrans also splinted by 2 factors, the Old Generation and the New Generation.

The Old Generation of SimTerrans dislike any change and they want everybody to live as they want. They only care about money and laziness.

They were sick and tired of the global problems and they need a solution as soon as possible. They really care about environment, human rights and peace.

Moon has plenty of resources and SimLunars are the richest Sims in the Solar System. They also love money, but they prefer more peaceful and diplomatic ways to earn them. They are excellent traders and always ready to help anybody.

Their slogan is "Respect and Creation" and they want to build a better place for everybody to live. However is seems that they prefer anarchism than democracy or something else similar. They reject any form of politics, religion and social ideology. They prefer science. Let's visit their Utopia.

First of all, something interesting. This is the Martian night. As we can see, SimMartians hate light pollution. This is why there are so few lights.

But what if they didn't care about light pollution? In that case, Mars would be like this! A planet size brain. Hope-1, Logic-2, Faith-3 and Love-4 are not the only colonies anymore. They are the most important, but here we can see plenty oh Martian villages, full with Sims who seek for a better world.

To make the access to space even better, SimTerrans build a large number of space elevators. Those structures are mostly a cable that connects Earth with a space station.

So they use space hooks, an interesting mix of the space elevator and the electromagnetic catapult. The spacecraft connects with the one of the acres of the space hook, and then the hook rotates to bring the spacecraft directly into the Martian atmosphere. Simple!

And now is time to learn about the Martian Utopia. SimTerrans uses money and politics. SimLunars uses money and politics. SimMartian reject them! No money, no politics. In fact, they established the Resource-Based Economy and the Cybernated Government.

The term and meaning of a Resource-Based Economy was originated by Jacque Fresco. It is a system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that Earth, Moon, Mars, and generally all the planets in the Universe, are abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.

The Martian society has access to highly advanced technology and can make available food, clothing, housing and medical car, update the educational system, and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy. By supplying an efficiently designed economy, everyone can enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities of a high technological society.

A resource-based economy would utilize existing resources from the land and sea, physical equipment, industrial plants, etc. to enhance the lives of the total population of Mars. In an economy based on resources rather than money, SimMartians could easily produce all of the necessities of life and provide a high standard of living for all.

So in only one phrase, money are useless!

And what is the Cybernated Government? It's when the quantum computers "take over the world". The human mind is far too simple to handle and put to practical use the voluminous information needed to operate a highly technical and advanced world society. The processing required would have to deal with trillions of bits of information per second, far too complex for human systems, particularly with the infusion of nanotechnology. So, let's forget city halls e.t.c.

A cybernated society is a society in which computers replaced the outmoded system of electing politicians that in most cases represent the entrenched vested interests. This new technology doesn't not dictate or monitor SimMartian's lives. Books such as 1984 and Brave New World and motion pictures such as Blade-Runner and Terminator 2 have spawned fear in some people regarding the takeover of technology in our society.The only purpose of the Cybernated Government is to elevate the spiritual and intellectual potential of all people, while at the same time providing the goods and services that will meet their individual and material needs.

Cybernation is the linking of quantum computers with automated systems. Eventually the central cybernated systems coordinated all of the machinery and equipment that serve the entire colony and ultimately the whole Mars. One can think of this as an electronic autonomic nervous system extending into all areas of the social complex.

In addition, to ensure the efficient operation of the city's various functions, all of the processes and services are equipped with quantum environmental feedback sensors. These sensors coordinated with redundant, back-up systems that operate in the event of failure or breakdown of the colony's primary systems. Only when cybernation is integrated into all aspects of this new and dynamic culture, can quantum computers appropriately serve the needs of all people. No technological civilization can ever operate efficiently and effectively without the integration of cybernetics as an integral part of this new world civilization.

So in only one phrase, politics are useless!

Can you believe it? A worldwide culture based on science. Not in political and social ideologies, like democracy or socialism. Money are useless. Computers liberate the Sims for the pursuit of higher aspirations in human achievement. What's the results? Million of them! No wars, no pollution, no racism, no traffic jam, no crime, no fear, no hate, no fanaticism, no, no, no...!! It's a truly heaven.

SimMartians also experiments in Transhumanism. They believe that Sims can evolve from Homo Sapiens to Homo Superior with the use of science and technology. However they know that advance technologies demand advance wisdom.

All the above described the majority of SimMartians. However some of them doesn't agree with them, so they prefer to build their mini Utopians. As we saw before, there are plenty of villages and mini colonies on Mars. Here is an example in the Ares Valles.

SimMartians will not allow them to die. Those creatures will genetically modificated, in order to survive after the Martian terraforming.




The Martian terraforming will need plenty of time. Meanwhile, we're going to explore more colonies and not only. Stay tuned :)

bat: Glad to see that you like it :) . The region of Mars can be taken from Simtropolis (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/5630-mars/). As you can see the original version is teraformed, but SimMars removes the water and replace the grass with dust. Of course the map is too small in comparison with Mars itself. This region is 64x32 kilometers, while Mars is about... 21,000x10,000 kilometers ;D

The majority of SimMartians are atheists, while the Cybernated Government also prefers science than any kind of religion to unite the people. However Mars has the most monasteries, temples, mosques e.t.c. in the Solar System, and that's because Mars has no state religion and all SimMartians respect everybody's believe. This Muslim mosque in Fun-5 prove that Mars is your heaven, no matter in what you believe :)

While this is true, an empty space is a little boring place to live. So I'm working in a little project.

This picture was taken by Mars Pathfinder. Here we can see plenty of rocks, stones, boulders and dust.

Simcity 4 is no exception, especially with all those cool custom stuff that allows you to build anything you want. From mountain rural towns to extra large metropolises. From medieval to the future, from Europe to planet Mars. This topic is mostly a showcase of some of my creations for SimMars Beta 3, as well as some interesting pictures from my colonies. Hope that you like them :)

The Martian surface in SimMars is barren. No stones, no rocks, no boulders. Also you can't "plant" rocks like the trees on Simcity. A bit boring, isn't?

O.K., before keep going, please read this. Mars reject the Monetary System and established the Resource-Based Economy, where all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. Because of this, there are no rich and poor Sims. However Simcity 4 use the Monetary System, so you need rich and poor Sims. This is unacceptable. So i decide to replace the economical classes with technological classes.

$$$ Sims replaced by Cybs, SimMartian with robotics prosthetics.
$$ Sims replaced by Bals, a hybrid between Cybs and Gens with both cybernetic and genetic prosthetics.

However those medium wealth Bal cars are the only automata on SimMars. So i add some Terran vehicles that fits on Mars as much as possible. The Kewet Buddy fits very nicely on Mars, as the cars of low wealth Gen SimMartians.

In December i released a mod that relots the Martian buildings, making them available for Earth. Martian buildings on Earth. Time for the opposite, Terran buildings on Mars. This is a low wealth Gen apartment building, originally made for SimMars.

This is a high tech factory that makes robots. The pyramidal shape is cool, but it's cyan windows are out of place. I guess we can imagine that the cyan color is by the windows themselves and not by the reflexion of the Terran atmosphere.

Same with this high wealth Cyb apartment building. We can imagine that the windows has the cyan color to symbolize Earth, the origin of SimMartian.

Wow you've been busy! I've never been a Sim Mars guy but this is impressive. Good luck with the colony and look out for Martian bears ;)

PS, beautiful SC3k screen shot!

That's incredible. Especially the second last picture I really like as a fan of Babylon 5 and is reminiscent of the futuristic Mars.

Nice work there with SimMars! It is looking really beautiful. :thumbsup:

It's getting bigger now. MARS is a very unique type of game play. I hope you can keep the good work there. :thumbsup:

Awesome! I love it :P

Wow..., amazing update!!! Your martian city is fantastic!!!   &apls

The second from last shot is fantastic  &apls Reminds me of a really classic 1950's /60's vision of the future!

A virus stroked my computer. I saved my colonies, but there is a possibility to lose those colonies because of the virus.

Eden will be back!

Best of luck fixing your computer! Sorry to hear the bad news.

Ouch, sorry to hear that.  I lost my SC4 stuff back in Dec '09 due to a HD malfunction.  It took me over a year to get things working right again (ended up having to get a new computer).

noahclem: Glad to see that you like it :) . No reason to worry about the Martian bears, they are herbivore and totally friendly ;D

Dantes: Thank you for the comment :) . Babylon 5, plenty of memories :thumbsup:

bat: Glad to see that you like it :)

Bill_Chen: Thank you for your comment :) . The Martian playstyle is not the most impressive or the most realistic, but sure the most unique. The SimMars team made a great effort for this mod and I'm very happy for that. And no need to hope, cause Eden will always messing around here ;D

Framly: Glad to see that you like it :)

Tomas Neto: Thank you very much :)

Reikhardt: Thank you very much :) . Because I'm a collector of futuristic visions, especially the older one who was more optimistic, can you remember the vision itself? As about the virus, I forced to made a great rebooting. It's sucks because I need to reinstall SimCity again >:(

Shark7: It's truly painful, but always remember that cities can rebuild and programmes can restored. No reason to cry for something that can be fixed :)

Some days ago, a virus stroke my computer. It forced me to reboot my computer, so I'm reinstalling Simcity. However my colonies and custom lots are safe and unaffected, so Eden will keep strong. By the way, I have a nice collection of pictures from all my colonies, taken just before that virus attack. Hope that you like them :)

Good news see your return!!! Awesome update again!!!

I love this MD. ;D

Whoah  :)

How do you get those buildings plopped without crashing  ;D

 :o
How do the cars not float away?  $%Grinno$%

That's very futuristic! Great work  :thumbsup:

Great new pictures of your nice looking cities.
And the overviews are really nice. :)

Nice MD! looks futuristic! &apls

Very futuristic, Great job my friend,  &apls &apls

Tomas Neto: Thanks for you comment :)

SimRisu: Glad to hear that ;D

netmod: The Coruscant style buildings are functional grownable skyscrapers and apartment buildings. Not plopable! ;)
Those buildings are light enough for the game, so no danger for crashing. However other Coruscant style buildings are very complex and too dangerous for the game. Build with care and don't need to worry for everything :thumbsup:

scott1964: Both floating and ground cars can have artificial intelligence and be connected to the Global Martian Network, so no need to worry about car accidents. Sadly there are no floating cars for Simcity 4 &mmm

samerton: Thank you :)

This update is mostly a mini teaser about Life-6. This colony is the most dense populated colony and the only one that contain only skyscrapers and apartment buildings. This colony made mostly for Gens, but soon Bals and Cybs moved on Life-6 as well. Life-6 is almost ready, but I need to add some details as well. Oh well, here are some pictures of Life-6...

Wow, nice work here! I especially like those space shuttles taking off. I guess the .38G gravity really encourages tall buildings   :)  I actually thought one was a space elevator from the first picture it was in!

The Martian gravity is low enough to allow taller buildings. Of course those buildings are not taller versions of ordinary apartment building and skyscrapers. They are arcologies, large buildings that works like mini cities. This is how their interior may look like...

And as about the space elevator, Mars can't have them because of it's moon Phobos. A better idea is a space hook, that works like catapults in orbit.

"Kill the light!
Take them out, turn them off, break them down"
Britney Spears

Welcome to 2062 A.D. (93 A.T.)

One of the most dangerous but still most underestimated kind of pollution is light pollution, caused by the extreme use of artificial lights. Lights are needed, but overusing them brings plenty of social and environmental problems. Light pollution distorts both animals and plants in hunting, mating, growing and moving. It also increase crime, distorts stargazing and consume too much electricity.

Even in 2062 A.D. (93 A.T.) the situation on light pollution on Earth isn't so good. There are some tries to reduce this problem, but as you can see...

Mars however doesn't have any problem. The use of full cutoff lighting fixtures and better lighting sources, as well as the re-designing lighting plans, reduced to the minimum the light pollution on Mars. The result is almost dark nights.

Goodnight everybody and thank you for visiting Eden :)

I like the night views!
The city is looking at night nice, too. :thumbsup:

Actually this update has an extraterrestrial atmosphere!

Some really spectacular images, most fantastic is the image of Mars from space. Very well done.

Your city is coming along nicely  :thumbsup:   Thanks for the reply--in sci-fi novels I read the space elevator oscillated to avoid Phobos, though I don't know how possible that would actually be.

bat: Glad to see that you like it :)

ricardomiranda: Thanks :) . I'll agree, the night views makes the colonies more extraterrestrial.

kwakelaar: Glad to see that you like it :) . The image of Mars was taken by Celestia (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/), a beautiful 3D space simulator. Free to download and fun to use. The extra addons, like the nebulas and the night texture of Mars, was taken from Celestia Motherlode. The link is in the very beginning of this update.

noahclem: Thanks you for your comment :) . A space elevator on Mars is possible, but I don't want to see Phobos as a space station for the elevator, neither destroyed to make room.

Before the update, the useless fact of the day :D

Most of the fictional planetary systems in Science Fiction has a beautiful colourful background, like a galaxy or a nebula.

Sadly, our Solar System is not that interesting. So I decide to download some nebulas from Celestia Motherlode (http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/) and spice up the Solar System. The Solar Nebula is totally fictional, but it will make the space pictures more interesting.

For now, all the Celestia pictures of planets and spacecrafts will contain nebulas. Here is an example :)

O.K., back to the update. Today I'll show you the skyscrapers of planet Mars. Building taller and taller buildings was something very common on planet Earth, from the legendary Tower of Babel...

... to the modern Burj Khalifa.

In the beginning of the 20th century, a new kind of buildings appears in the blue prints. This time we are not talking about buildings as buildings, but as little self-contained cities. Those structures named "vertical cities" or "arcologies", large buildings that works like mini cities.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmovie-pro.com%2Fvideos%2Fb05b304e8.jpg&hash=4abca52c140ee21fa8497de2c53c9447bbe77265)

The main goal of those buildings is the reducing the environmental impacts of overpopulation by reducing the size of the cities. Earth, Moon and Mars has their own strategies to solve this problem. SimTerrans preferred the colonization of the seas, buildings underwater and floating cities.

SimLunars constructed underground cities, to protect themselves from the dangers of the vacuum space.

The low gravity of Mars however encouraged the SimMartians to build really tall arcologies, as you can see in previous pictures. The beginning was made by the minorgies, minor arcologies that had all the comfort they need. A minorgy looks like a large apartment building, but it also had some civil services and mini shops. They was not exactly mini cities, but still it was a good start.

With more and more Sims settled on Mars, SimMartians need more and more room to build their cities. But if you build upward, you'll solve your problem. So they did it, building the arcoruses. An arcorus is an 1 mile (1,6 kilometers) hight tower, made by the best materials. They has magnetic elevators and mini rail roads inside them, as well as beautiful indoor gardens.

A newer version of the Martian arcologies are mushparks. A mushpark in a mushroom like building with a central park. This buildings can bring cool views of the city and even more room for the shops and homes, even if it need some less room for the base.

Of course nobody can eternally live in a cradle, as Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky said. Mars is not as rich as Earth. The Red Planet has only a very few number of native plants, as well as only 3 kind of animals. In generally, Mars is a dangerous world. Thin atmosphere, no ozone layer, weak magnetic field, weak gravity, too cold. No liquid water, no oxygen, no suitable ground for farms.

However, Mars is the land of the future. This is where the Resource-Based Economy take place, where everything is available for everybody, without money and other useless stuff. This is where the Cybernated Government take place, where quantum computers liberates the Sims from all kind of tyrannies.

The future belongs to Mars, but the Red Planet is still too dangerous. However an epic project is now under development. The project called "Eden Project" and it's all about terraforming, turning Mars into a new Earth. According to the calculations of the SimMartian scientists, this is how Mars may looks like into the distant future.

To terraform the planet Mars, we need plenty of water and a way to warm the Red Planet. Fortunately, we have both of them. Mars has plenty of water... frozen water, that's it. Sure Mars doesn't have as much water as Earth and Moon, but still in enough.

But unlike Moon and Earth, Mars hasn't water to waste. This is the reason of why SimMartians use mostly the nuclear fission power plants. After the nuclear catastrophes on Chernobyl (1986), Fukushima (2011) and New York (2049), nuclear fission plants banned from Earth and Moon. Mars however just can't survive yet without those plants. This picture shows the only nuclear fusion power plant on planet Mars.

Omg, is it.... it is!!! Plymouth Arco! <3

Fantastic update btw. I like entertaining the idea of conquering colonising Mars.

What a great story. It's so interesting, something other comparing to normal earthly ways of settlement. I was reading it with interest. I wish I had came here earlier. And beatiful metaphor to a butterfly :)

By the way you could warm Mars with emiting tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, using conventional power plants, in order to create greenhouse effect. Maybe it is not so clean solution, but it should be effective too  :D
What is more, I had Mars on my mature exams! I had to find gravity acceleration etc. It follows me today!  ;D

Neat story!  Your work continues to look fantastic!

Awesome update!!!  &apls

SimRisu: Yes it is my friend ;D . Thanks for the comment :)

kbieniu7: Thanks for the comment too :) . I know this method, about using extra CO2 to re-enforced the greenhouse effect, but I just preferred a cleaner way ;D

Battlecat: Glad to see that you like it :)

Tomas Neto: Thanks :)

My real life is a bit busy those days. Looking for a job, reading for December exams, working on a Simcity mod. Of course there will be some time for Eden, just don't hold your breath ;D

Looks good, Elias. I think it is cool the way you use both SC4 and non-SC4 components to tell a story. I normally visit the Eden at ST, I didn't think it was here, lol. Looking for more, hope to see you sooner rather than later!  :thumbsup:

Hope RL goes ok for you! Good update too  :)

Cigarettes!


...I-I mean, ziggurats! :-[

Brilliant update like always. It's nice to see a diffrent style of building for a change. But doesn't all that red strain your eyebulbs?

I realy like &apls :thumbsup:

A lot of nice pictures of your great work! :thumbsup:
The city is looking fantastic.

Nice work on the city and backstory! That Plymouth Arcology definitely brings back some memories!

PhotoBucket sucks!!! If you see many empty spaces, I'm sorry for that :'( :'( :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb:


Exla357: Glad to see that you like it :) . You can also visit Eden in SimPeg.com (http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?topic=9092.0) as well.

Reikhardt: Thanks :) . My life is O.K., it's just a bit busy.

SimRisu: Sorry, I'm not smoking :D . Glad to see that you like it :) . My eye bulbs became very comfortable with the Martian redness. Now they have problem with all that green and blue in my Terran cities :'( :D

Update 16 was a teaser about Life-6. This colony is the most dense populated colony and the only one that contain only skyscrapers and apartment buildings. This colony made mostly for Gens, but soon Bals and Cybs moved on Life-6 as well. Life-6 is finally ready.

Because of this, some SimMartians prefer to live almost isolated out of the colony. They still have access to the colony, by using the MarNet and some jetpacks.

I promised you a new colony, so here it is. This is Evolution-7, a square shaped colony next to Life-6.

This colony has an new generation of arcologies, the redmids. A redmid in a red pyramid-shaped colony, that can hold even more Sims and jobs. The biggest disadvantage however is their size. Those buildings are huge! However we'll see them in the next colonies a bit often. Some of the next colonies may have only minorgies, arcoruses, mushparks and redmids.

Time to have a look at some other highlights of Evolution-7. This is a casino-like entertaining centre? Casino-like? As you may remember, planet Mars established the Resource-Based Economy. In this economical model, all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the SimMartians, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that Mars is abundant with plentiful resource, so any practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival. Without money, gambling should be a thing of the past... unless you're using "priceless" stuff, like peanuts and corn flakes ;D

This is the Temple of Righteous. Sims need to know what's all about "good", "evil" and "neutral" and if they truly exist. Those temples allows the SimMartians to use philosophy, science and other tools, in order to discover which life path is the best. There are many millions of Sims on Mars, billions on Earth and thousands on Moon. All of them agree that those worlds are round like a ball, but not all of them agree in what is "right" and what's "wrong".

As you may remember, Mars established the Cybernated Government. Mars is a quantum cybernated society, where computers replaced the outmoded system of electing politicians, that in most cases represent the entrenched vested interests. The only purpose of this system is not the creation of a global dictatorship, but to elevate the spiritual and intellectual potential of all people, while at the same time providing the goods and services that will meet their individual and material needs. Here we can see the central quantum computers of Evolution-7.

The colony is almost ready. All I need is to make the barren surface more realistic and add some extra details. Maybe some workers homes or something very cool. Anyway. Welcome to Respect-8!

Respect-8 is the very first Martian colony with a biodome. This colony has a huge park with plenty of trees under the biodome, surrounded by high-tech industries.

Respect-8 symbolise the need of co-exist of nature and technology. Let's be honest, technology isn't something exotic. Technology made by Sims. Sims are humans. Humans evolved by ape-like animals and so on. Even some animals have technology, like some birds that use stones like hammers to brake eggs. Human technology can, and should, co-exist with nature.

This colony mixes 3 kinds of natures, the Terran, the Martian and the Transhuman. The biodome symbolize the Terran nature, like the trees and the birds. The barren outside of the colony symbolise the Martian nature, like the Martian bears and the Martian trees. The laboratories in the between symbolize the Transhumanistic nature.

Some of the factories here creates cybernetic and genetic prosthetics, like synthetic skin, quantum brains and extra durable bones. If we have the technology and responsibility we need, why not upgrading ourselves? This is the Transhumanistic nature, that includes advanced SimMartian and not only. There are also research laboratories that seek for ways to create new life forms. Robotic animals? Brand new species of plants? Bring them all!

Notice those tree-like structures? Factories emits some gases, where some of them can be useful for the terraforming project. Those structures collects those gazes, in order to study them and maybe making them useful. It's a kind of "reusing".

The bio-dome is a truly paradise with plenty of flowers, butterflies, trees and birds. You may also see a few bears, foxes and other animals.

Speaking for birds, here is a bird watching tower. The Terran birds adapted very quick on Mars, thanks to the low gravity. However Mars will not be forever a red, barren world. After terraforming, how the birds may evolve into the distant future? It's too soon for the answer, so stay tuned.

Watching birds is not the only thing you can do. Picnics, camping, swimming and others thing that you can also do. Of course the low gravity of Mars brings some... interesting effects ;D

Evillions made a great City Journal with brilliant Martian colonies and Terran cities. But a 100% Martian M.D. on SC4D except Eden? No. The only 100% Martian city journal was The colonization of Mars (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/1607-the-colonization-of-mars/) by gonzalo mrales in Simtropolis, but it's inactive for about 1 year &mmm

Before the trip, let me warm you for something. There are no one ways, avenues, N.A.M. parts and R.H.W. for SimMars. Because of this, my intersections will be terrible and unrealistic. Because of those limitations, don't complain!! Ideas are welcomed, complains not.

The trip will begin in Hope-1, the most historical city on Mars.

Time for some technical informations about the Martian speedways. Artificial intelligence allows the creation of anti-collision radars on cars and makes the car to drive itself. Thanks to those techniques, the drivers can seat back and enjoy the view, without worrying about car accidents. The speedways are also mostly elevated, allowing the free migration of the Martian bears.

Here is a typical intersection. The above technologies, as well as the advance flexibility of the cars, allow the creation of smaller but safer intersections.

sumwonyuno: Welcome to Mars &dance . To see the space shuttles you'll need to unlock the space centre. To unlock it you need to have more than 25.000 high tech factories, the Advanced Research Centre, and difficulty Level = Medium or High. If you have low difficulty or you want to unlock it sooner, play the missions "Train Ride for Rocket Formula" with the steam train and "Super Seat Belt Fabric for Space Ships!" with the freight train.

"The wisest men follow their own direction"

Welcome to 2064 A.D. (95 A.T.). It's a historical year, with the beginning of the first truly interplanetary mission. 2 spacecrafts from 2 different planets will join together for the exploration of a new world. The mission called "Space Odyssey" and it's all about the exploration of Saturn by a Terran and a Martian ship.

This is the spacecraft Spirit of Earth, a nuclear spacecraft made by SimTerrans and SimLunars, just before leaving the Lunar orbit.

2 different spacecrafts from 2 different world and philosophies. SimTerrans are mostly democratics and religious, while SimMartians are mostly anarchists and atheists. But both knows that they are brothers and sisters, with the same ancestors and the same need of a better tomorrow. Spirit of Earth and Spirit of Mars will join together in orbit around Venus...

Most of the improvements I made in Hope-1 are out of the main colony. I made the terrain more realistic, without too much or too few stones and rocks. I also add plenty of buildings made by great B.A.T.ers, like Somy and SimMars team.

Here we can see the nuclear power plants of Hope-1. I had plenty of small power plants, so I think it's better to just have those 2 big boys. I also made them more realistic, by placing them out of the colony and adding some extra stuff, like a parking garage and some walls.

Close to the university we'll find the Sentinel, a large sculpture made by the SimMartians. The Sentinel was inspired by Arthur Clarke's novel "The Sentinel" and it's a tribute to him.

This is the Temple of Righteousness of Hope-1. This is where SimMartians join together and research about the philosophy of Good and Evil. They are also studying older ideologies, like Communism and Paganism, to improve both body and mind. Hope-1 Temple is studying the philosophy of Buddhism, while other colonies are examining another ideas.

Great update!!!  :thumbsup:

Wonderful work on Faith-3!! :thumbsup:

This update should be the last O.S.I.T.M. update, but the upgrading of SC4D catch me up ;D
I had some cool ideas to make this month pretty special, bit I failed. My lifetime philosophy is "don't make something new if you don't improve the old, unless if you can do both of them at the same time", so I should improve my older colonies before building new colonies. I guess that this O.S.I.T.M. was totally disappointing and I'm sorry for that. I want to thank every visitor of our planetary utopia with their cheers and ideas and I'll try to make my best for the rest of the story.


Tomas Neto: Thanks :)

bat: Thank you :)

If Earth is the cradle of the civilization, Mars is the new cradle of it. You already know what is going on by the previous updates, but how about a "Living on Mars for Dummies" guide?

You can visit Mars by using the spacecrafts of W.S.O. (World Space Organization) and the Von Braun Spacelines. Those spaceships use nuclear fusion reactors and they are the fastest spacecrafts so now. Thanks to nanotechnology, the spacecrafts needs only some weeks for the Earth - Mars route.

Now that you have a home on Mars, it's time to organize your life. As you may remember from the previous updates, planet Mars evolved into a global cybernated society, in which quantum computers replaced the outmoded system of electing politicians. Planet Mars also established a Resource-Based Economy, in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. You can finally have everything you need, without having somebody to control you. At last, you're free!

O.K., so... how about a job? Forget jobs, because they are not necessary any more. However you can still make something nice for the colony, something that you can enjoy it as well. Always want to be a painter, but your job on Earth didn't allow that? You are not on Earth any more. In your comfortable home, you can create as many paints as you want and share them with the rest of the colony. Always want to be a biologer? Link up with the biological laboratories by the Martian Internet. The possibilities are endless.

By working on stuff you enjoy, you'll never bored or tired. Of course after an active day, you need to relax. You can stay on home and watch holographic television, but there are plenty of cool places to visit. Parks, operas, statues, stadiums, museums, landmarks, night clubs, bio domes, the natural wildlife of Mars and so on.

Thanks for keeping us entertained during the OSITM!
Another huge update  &apls

Awesome OSITM Elias!  &apls  I really like the holographic university and the stadium. I can't wait to visit and I won't forget to bring a towel ;)

If you believed that Eden is a Martian story, you believed wrong. It's a space story, not only Martian. Mars is only the beginning of a giant epic story, filled with space exploration and planetary colonization. Because of this, you'll see more and more extra pictures, especially from Celestia (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/). As about the today update, I always want to make an interplanetary update, showing planets and landscapes. So here it is, inspired by Alien Worlds (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/2092-alien-worlds/), the most unique city journal. The extra pictures with the aliens were taken from Alien Wiki (http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Supeinteressante_Universe).

Hope that you like it :)

"We were looking at what seemed to be a translucent oval, its interior laced with a network of almost invisible lines. Where the lines crossed there appeared to be tiny, pulsing nodes of light... What we were seeing was impossible, yet the evidence was there before our eyes. We were looking at life, where no life could exist. The eruption had hurled the thing out of its normal environment, deep down in the flaming atmosphere of the sun..."
Arthur C. Clarke in his short story "From Out of the Sun"

We didn't discover energy-based life on Sun yet, but maybe is not impossible. In 2060 A.D. (91 A.T.) Simkind shocked by the discovery of the Martian ecosystems, but this was only the beginning. In the next 4 years, space probes and rovers discovered that life is almost everywhere in the Solar System. Let's have a look at them.

The most unique object in the Solar System is the Sun. Sun is just one of the 500.000.000.000 stars in our galaxy and it's one of the smallest stars ever found. However for us, Sun is the ultimate creator of life. Without this star, life and intelligence in the Solar System would be impossible. Sun is our father.

Mercury is the smallest and the closest to the Sun planet in the Solar System. A small naked world, with a very thin atmosphere and high temperatures. The space probes and rovers proved that this planet is rich in minerals, making it a perfect mining place. Manned missions take place on Mercury as well, so colonies on this planet are coming soon.

This is where we discovered the Mercurians, silicon-based single-celled organisms. They inhabit the deep craters near the north and south poles, the only places on the planet where water ice found. Hidden inside these craters, and thus unable to perform photosynthesis, Mercurians rely solely on water and minerals from the soil to live. They also have no air to breath, because their homeworld lacks an atmosphere. The shell that covers their bodies is made out of pure silicon, which, being a good thermal insulator, helps to protect the creatures from the extreme temperatures of the planet. A very simple lifeform, the Mercurian reproduces by binary fission.

For many years we believed that Venus is a hot Earth-like paradise, but we believed wrong. Venus is a hell! The atmosphere is 90 times heavier that the Terran one and it's rich with CO₂. The whole planet is an out-of-control greenhouse, way hotter than Mercury. Very view missions take place and only 3 Sims walked on the Venusian surface.

Even this hell can support life. Venusians are small fossorial organisms native to planet Venus. They breathe oxygen and feed on sulfur compounds and other mineral and organic substances of Venus' soil. Venusians have many strong, extendable limbs with a sharp claw on the end, which they use to dig their way in the underground in search of nutrients and water. They also use these claws to avoid being carried by the strong winds when venturing on the surface. The upper part of their body is protected by a thick carapace made out of keratin, which protects the Venusian from the extreme heat and the corrosive acids of the planet's atmosphere. Because of the high concentration of sulfur compounds in the Venusian's body, the creature smells like rotten eggs.

Earth is the only planet that support a large collection of lifeforms, from the humble ants to the intelligent Sims. All Sims from Earth, Moon and Mars agree that Earth is the most important planet. It's their home world, a blue oasis of life and intelligence.

Million of years ago, Mars was an Earth-like world, rich of life. It was also the cradle of an ancient civilization. Today however, Mars is an cold desert that supports only a view survivors. Now Mars was colonized by a new civilization, an alien this time. Us. Let us use this planet, to establish a new society. A society based on respect and creation, without wars and governments.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant of hydrogen and helium. In 2012, when many Sims prepared for the "end of the world", a group of asteroids crushed by the Jovian gravity. The result is the formation of an exotic ring system. Jupiter is a very dangerous place to colonise, but it's moon can be colonized. Sims visited this planet in 2057 A.D. (88 A.T.).

And even this world supports life. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uakLB7Eni2E) Jovians are sac-shaped floating creatures native to the atmosphere of planet Jupiter. The strong wind fills the hollow body of the Jovian carrying it around. The creature can control its speed by contracting its body. Jovians have many large pores on the upper side of their bodies, which are used to absorb nutrients from the environment. Inside the walls of its body there is a network system similar to the circulatory system of Earth's animals, which is used to deliver nutrients to all cells in the organism. Wastes are released when the creature contracts.

Saturn is an another gas giant, beloved by its rings. Those rings made by destroyed ancient moons, full with ice and water. Saturn is also too dangerous for colonization, but it has plenty of moon to colonize.

And Saturn has life as well. Saturnians are small non-sapient creatures native to the atmosphere of planet Saturn. They resemble worms with insect wings. Their bodies seem to be divided in two segments, with the wings sprouting from the middle region between the two. On one end of the body there is a head sporting what appears to be a large red eye or other sense organ. On the other end there is a thin tail.

There are two kinds of Saturnians living on the planet: the ones living on the poles are shorter and have much larger wings, which are used to capture solar light, in order to get energy. The wings are also used as sails, allowing the animal to be carried around by the winds. The equatorial Saturnians, on the other hand, are longer and have very small wings; otherwise their wings would be tore apart by the strong equatorial hurricanes. They get energy from symbiotic bacteria living inside their bodies.

Uranus is a cold gas giant. It doesn't have the cool atmospheric formations of Jupiter and Saturn, making Uranus a little boring place. However it also has devastating storms, making this planet too dangerous for colonization as well.

And there is still life here as well. Uranians are small, non-sapient, blue-colored fungoid organisms native to the atmosphere of planet Uranus. They are very simple creatures, their flat bodies acting as living sails, allowing them to be carried by the winds. Uranians are phototrophs, using sunlight to produce energy. They are eternally migrating from equatorial regions to the poles and back, searching for the places where the sunlight is more intense. They also absorb organic nutrients from the environment through their porous skin.

Neptune is the last planet, a smaller gas giant. Despite the great distance from the Sun, Neptune has enough energy to supersonic winds and storms. A dangerous place to live here, if you are a Sim of course.

Unless if you are a native life forms. Neptunians are fungus-like lifeforms native to the gas giant planet known as Neptune. Their appearance is reminiscent of jellyfish, but the long "tentacles" are actually root-like structures that go down for kilometers, anchoring the aliens to the denser atmosphere layers, which are rich in organic composts used as a convenient food source by the Neptunians. They reproduce by spores, much like Earth fungi.

Besides nutrients, the light blue "blood" running inside the alien's stems also contains amines, substances with a very low melting point, which prevent the fluid from freezing and the stems from breaking.

All the above life forms are the children of the Sun. No matter if they are advance like SimMartians or simple like the Mercurians, no matter if they life underground like the Venusians or floating like the Jovians. All of them are brothers and sisters, children of the same star. We'll visit the planets and their moons in next updates, as well as the future colonies of Simkind. Will they colonise Mercury? Are there plants for terraforming Venus? Can they built cities in the rest planets. What kind of societies they will build? What about having any relationship with the alien native creatures?

I enjoyed the little stories for each planet.   :)

Nice update Terring  !

Very detailed!  :thumbsup:
------------------------------
As I checked your previous update, your spaceport needed work.  Try using RIMP to make a realistic spaceport and use the lot editor to make SM spaceships fit to the gates or something like that.  There's nothing wrong using the regular spaceport, just that the runways are a tad too small.  Look at Shadow_Prophet's CJ on Simtrop (The Diresam Empire or something, idk.), he uses the RIMP for his spaceports.  You should check it out for some inspiration.  :) 

-Best of luck!  :)

And the question is this: What will be the subject of the next update?

The answer, replies and more pictures are coming soon

Eden is a fantastic MD Terring !

Very interesting update Elias, I'm always fascinated by space so it's fun to read.

I do take issue with your statement that the sun is one of the smallest stars ever discovered though. While you might be technically right because dimmer stars can only be seen from quite nearby, my understanding is that red dwarfs are predicted to massively outnumber stars of the sun's size. This has certainly been observed in our stellar "neighborhood" and the smallest stars, even not counting brown dwarfs, are much smaller then our sun, especially if you are measuring by size & luminosity as opposed to mass.

Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent, great work  :thumbsup:

I made a small question in the previous teaser, but nobody gave it a try. Only some folks in Simtropolis gave some answers. (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/2021/entry-12209-its-play-time-d/) Oh well $%Grinno$%
This update will show you a Terran city of 2064 A.D. (95 A.T.). I tried to make a realistic futuristic city, with my style of course. Because it's my Terran city in this Mayor Diary, please don't insult me. Don't worry however, we'll return to Mars very soon. Earth is nice but a bit too boring for me ;)


sumwonyuno: Glad to see that :)

Evillions8: Glad to see that you like it and thank you for the suggestion, I'll give it a try :) . I believe that the improvements in S.T.O.L.

But by using RIMP, I can build this design by The Venus Project!

The Martian architecture is truly modular. Those buildings can construct very fast, can take any shape we want, are very strong against earthquakes and winds, provide all the comforts we need without using too much of resources and are by recycling materials. Although these "prefab" units will be composed of standard components, they will be of a modular design of such a wide and diverse array as to allow maximum individual expression in interior design and décor. Plenty of benefits that improved the Terran cities as well.

SimMartians established the Cybernated Government, where computers replaced the outmoded system of electing politicians. This technology can only be accomplished in a resource-based world economy, where all of the world's resources are held as the common heritage of all of the planet's peoples. The result is the rise of Quantum Anarchy on Mars. Earth however is trying to make a Cybernated Government-like network, based on their monetary economy. They'll failed.

Quantum Anarchy needs the best technologies in telecommunication, in order to turn Mars into a planet-size brain. Those technologies improved the Terran telecommunication systems as well. The result is an epic upgrading in diplomacy and free press, making many SimTerrans hope that soon Earth will be a world of peace and understanding.

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."
Carl Sagan

Planet Mars is a world blessed and cursed. It was a second Earth billions of years ago, rich with water, plants and animals. It was also the cradle of the native Martians, an ancient and mostly mysterious civilization. The green glory of Mars was finally passed away. Today, Mars is a mostly dead planet, a planetary cold desert. There is no ozone layer, neither water. But this planet is rich with exotic formations, canyons, mountains, craters, volcanoes, surface ice and dry rivers.

Here and there we discovered ruins of ancient civilizations. We don't know what they are those structures, who or what made therm and why. We also don't know if their creators were Martian or extrasolar. Most important, we still don't know if their creators are dead... or still alive.

Today, Mars is inhabited by some native animals and plants, as well as the children of the first explorers from Earth. Today Mars "belongs" to SimMartians, Sims who came from Earth or born on Mars.

With all those ancient ruins, more and more SimMartians are worried. Did we colonize a wrong planet? Are we unwanted? Will the technological and spiritual upgrading on Mars has an end soon? Is there a cosmic drama with unknown "actors" and we are just in the middle of the drama without even know about it? SimMartians are not fearless, but they'll not let this fear take over their spirits and minds.

Mars is a haunted planet, as some Sims believe. There are stories about Sims who "listened" the voices of the aliens and even "saw" their shadows. Sceptical Sims reject those stories, claiming that they are just games of our mind affected by those discoveries. But let's face it, Mars is an exotic, beautiful and creepy planet. With all those discoveries, it's better to prepared for the best... or for the worst.

Great new update! Nice small mountain!

Nice "communication" (not update ;) )  :thumbsup:   I like the storyline--it sounds like you have something interesting planned involving the ancient Martians....

Eight months ago, Elias, I said this:

QuoteGood day to start a MD, and especially one that takes us to somewhere unique

Eden is, as a Mars-based MD, unique by definition.  I wish there was more Mars-unique stuff for you to use, and the greenery and the trees in some of the pics throws me a bit.  But you have done something here that's always worth a read, and I certainly will continue to lurk.

Great update, Eden is very cool!

It's September, but summer isn't over yet. Summer will end up in autumnal equinox (23/9/2011), so let's have some extra holidays ;D

The situation on planet Earth is not so nice. Wars and global riots creates a huge chaos. There are serious tries to calm them down, but that's not so easy. Many Sims escaped from Earth to found a better place to live. Moon is the most common choice. Everybody here is rich and peaceful, and also it's close to Earth.

The bravest Sims however select Mars as the best place. It's too far from Earth and has a new, radical way to live. The mayor colonies has all the comforts to host anybody.

However not everybody want to live in those colonies. Some Sims established minor colonies, with their different laws and ways of life. SimMartians doesn't have any problem with them. There is a lot of space on Mars and this planet belongs to everybody.

Here is a typical minor colony. Most of the colonies are linked by roads for trading. In a promising but still dangerous planet, solidarity is the best way to live.

All minor colonies have solar or static electric power plants, water pumps, homes, farms to feed the colonists, factories to make useful items, shops for trade, clinics for medical emergency situations and repairing stations to prevent decommissions and fires.

No, this is not a ruin of the ancient Martians. It's a small arcology made by SimMartians. Why having lots of roads and homes? Messy thing. Let's make an autonomous colony in a pyramid-shaped building.

All minor colonies accept help by the mayor colonies. This however brings some interesting questions. Is it possible to see the minor colonies evolve into colony-states, like the city-states of the distant past? Will the history and it's mistakes repeat, this time on a new planet? Are those minor colonies a threat for the great technological and spiritual experiment? All SimMartians welcomes the new colonists, but nobody welcomes the repeat of the past...

I'm surprised I haven't commented in this MD yet - Terring, This is one of the most unique, interesting MDs I've seen on this site, and I always look forward to new updates from Mars. ;D Nice work. :thumbsup:


Also, the smaller martian colonies that you build remind me of the settlements in the videogame Red Faction: Guerilla. ;)

Something is better than nothing so here we are, a small collection of pictures from various colonies.  This small community made by Buddhists, with a beautiful statue of Buddha in the centre of the colony.

Two great new updates with a lot of nice pictures!!! :)

Amazing Elias, fantastic job ..Eden is perfect !

Looking good.  Have to be honest, missed your last couple of updates, been busy with real life.  Some stuff has to be taken care of like it or not.  &mmm

I have to ask, where did you get the little robot tanks from 'Ghost in the Shell' (yep, I recognize them)?  Those things would be fun to add to my own plugins folder.  :)

All in all, have to say I really like the futuristic look of the SimMars project, and particularly the way you've used it.  :thumbsup:

Now this is what I call "Heavy Update". Upgrading of Logic-2 is ready and now you can enjoy it in 90 pictures! No I'm not kidding. This is my 1,000st post in S.C.4.D. community and I need to make it a bit more interesting. So... how about 90 pictures from planet Mars? ;D ;D

"Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind overtasked."
Oliver Wendell Holmes

SimTerrans, SimLunars and SimMartians decide to make flags for their worlds. This is the flag of planet Earth. The flag is inspired by the astrological symbol of Earth, a circle with a cross inside it. The flag has green and blue colours, representing the air, water and land of Earth. There are also 8 red, yellow, green and cyan dots that symbolise the ancient and modern civilizations, from Ancient Greece to United States of America. In generally, this flag symbolise the need of peace and harmony on Earth.

This is the flag of the Moon, grey like the Lunar surface. The above circle has 2 crescents, the traditional symbol of the Moon. It looks a bit like the Sun with those "rays". It's a symbol of the god Apollo, a tribute to the Apollo Program. The black shapes below creates a arrow that represents the future, and 2 hands that represents diplomacy.

And this is the flag of planet Mars. The red dot represents the planet itself, with a replica of the symbol of Earth as a tribute to the first explorers. The green circle represents the terraforming of planet Mars. The blue lines symbolize the technological and spiritual revolution on Mars, while the black background represents the unknown history of the planet.

In the last 20 years, SimMartians made a lot of progress to build the new Eden. Mars is now a caterpillar, slowly transforming into a cosmic butterfly. Martian lifeforms, ruins of ancient alien civilizations, terraforming of Mars, resource-based economy, cybernated government, evolution to Homo Superior... Mars is the paradise of scientists, philosophers, artists and explorers... as well as a very busy planet.

This spacecraft use a nuclear fusion reactor to transport good from Mars to Earth and Moon. Thanks to the nanotechnology, the engines become more powerful and efficient. A typical Mars-Earth voyage in 2064 A.D. (95 A.T.) needs some weeks, not months as some people believed in 2011 A.D. (42 A.T.).

Earth has a space elevator, so satellites are not so important anymore. Mars however can't have a space elevator, so satellites are very useful.

Thanks to the lo gravity of Mars, the red planet has a lot of space stations orbiting around it. Space stations provide the advantages of a gravity-free research environment. They are mostly automated and self-contained, to permit maintenance and self-repair without human intervention. The dangerous space walks are not necessary anymore. These space stations arr able to monitor the Martian resources, as well as facilitate further research in the fields of any kind of science.

Many other experiments are accomplishing in a gravity-free environment, especially in the areas of medicine, chemistry and nanotechnology. In addition, these space stations are serving as nodes in the worldwide telecommunications system of planet Mars, providing up-to-date information on the native Martian ecosystems, the position of all vehicles and other information pertinent to the inhabitants of the cybernated Eden.

Those space stations are vital for the communication of the central quantum computers of the mayor colonies. This creates a huge brain, large as Mars itself.

This is the central quantum computer of Logic-2. Cybernation is the linking of central quantum computers with automated systems. The central cybernated systems is coordinating all of the machinery and equipment that serve the entire colony and the whole planet Mars. One can think of this as an electronic autonomic nervous system extending into all areas of the social complex. For example, in the agricultures the central quantum computers are automatically monitoring and maintaining the water table, soil chemistry, and coordinating the planting and harvesting of crops. In the residential sector, the system is maintaining the environmental cleanliness and the recycling of waste materials.

With this technology, who need politicians?

There are no wastes on Mars. All "garbages" are going to recycle centres and incinerators. This facility turns the "garbages" into new products or burn them to provide heat for the colonists.

SimMartians doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so they have a lot of museums to remember the history of simkind. This museum contain also a holographic university of history and archaeology. Sims need to learn from their failures, in order to not repeat them.

Sims love games and the low gravity of Mars is an excellent opportunity for playing. Higher jumps and running without tiredness are entertaining and very useful for the sports as well. Just imagine the Martian football...

"A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge."
Thomas Carlyle

Welcome to 2065 A.D. (96 A.T.)

Love-4 is finally upgraded. This colony had a lot of empty spaces, low density homes and open plazas. Now it has a lot of nice surprises, including a mining operating system and huge arcoruses. But before exploring Love-4, here are some funny pictures. It seems that 100 years after the end of the world, Eden: The New Frontier is still alive.

Love-4 is south of Logic-2 and east of Faith-3. This colony has the shape of the astrological symbol of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love. This colony has 2 parts, the "cross" part and the "circle" part. The "cross" part was mostly a place for the Gens (genetic engineered SimMartians) to live. Thanks to the robotic facilities however, most of them upgrade themselves into Cybs (cybernetic engineered SimMartians) and Bals (both genetic and cybernetic engineered SimMartians). The "circle" part is still a place with a lot of parks and mostly lived by Bals and Cybs.

This is Deuteronilus Mensae, a region on Mars that lies just to the north of Arabia Terra and is included in the Ismenius Lacus quadrangle. It is along the dichotomy boundary, that is between the old, heavily cratered southern highlands and the low plains of the northern hemisphere. The region contains flat-topped knobby terrain that may have been formed by glaciers at some time in the past. Deuteronilus Mensae is to the immediate west of Protonilus Mensae and Ismeniae Fossae. Glaciers persist in the region in modern times, with at least one glacier estimated to have formed as recently as 100,000 to 10,000 years ago. Evidence from the radar on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2005 A.D. (34 A.T.) has shown that parts of Deuteronilus Mensae do indeed contain ice.

This bring a lot of scientists and tourists, making Deuteronilus Mensae a natural park. Many Sims enjoy to visit this place. Just let your electric car in the parking of the entrance and start walking, the low gravity makes walking more enjoyable.

Here we can see the central quantum computers of Love-4, being a part of the global cybernetic society of Mars. On planet Mars, scientists and computers replaced the outmoded system of electing politicians in order to elevate the spiritual and intellectual potential of all people, while at the same time providing the goods and services that meet their individual and material needs. By having scientists, computers and robots to maintain planet Mars and it's colonists, politicians are just useless. The result?

:) Earth has Democracy :)
:) Moon has Democracy :)
;D Mars has Anarchism ;D

This is the second page of the page about Love-4. This is the first page split into 2 pages, but I guess that there is always a first time for everything. This is maybe the biggest page about gardens and parks. Hope that you like it, even if you hate science fiction :)

Jim Carrey

Welcome again to Love-4. Today we'll explore the landmarks and the parks of this colony. There are a lot of interesting places to visit and many buildings to see. This is the center of the colony, where you can see Anakin Skyalker's house just landed from Tatooine... don't get freak, is just a copy made by Star Wars fans. This small building was the very first landmark on Love-4 and as you can see, it's still exist.

The low gravity of Mars makes the Terran sports very interesting. The athletes can jump very high and run without getting tired too much. Mix the low Martian gravity with the transhumanistic research about upgrading both body and mind, like cybernetic parts and genetic improved eyes, and you'll end up with extraordinary sports!

There are many beautiful statues at Love-4. Those statues are made by Martian marble, a mix of Martian stones and nanorobot made materials. Some of the symbolize the equality of men and women, while others symbolize the battles of the ancestors for a better world.

... but they are not dangerous for car accidents. Why? Because the cars of 2065 A.D. (96 A.T.) controlled by computers, preventing any kind of traffic jams, accidents and violation of traffic rules. The central quantum computers liberate Sims from any problem, leading the evolution into a technological Utopia. Advance technology however demand advance wisdom. Let's hope that the Sims will never forget it...

I'm not sure which is stranger: the Mars setting ... or the Britney Spears thing?

Even so, I'm relieved to find out that level crossings (which are part of my daily "workspace") will still be around, even on Mars.  :)

Some great pictures! Nice work on them. :)

Swordmaster: There is no Martian version for N.A.M., so level crossings are sadly a part of Mars. However both cars and trains controlled by computers (who needs humans?), so accidents are a thing of the past. As about the strangeness of the Mars setting, it's way better than taking the same road with the majority...

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. Today is 11/11/2065 A.D. (96 A.T.) and here are the news. First, the headlines. A Sim called Terring failed to build a beautiful Terran city for his Mayor Diary Eden: The New Frontier. The city should be an ecological and futuristic metropolis, but the result was a catastrophe.

He also said that the viewers should not forget to select the blue or the red pill. Blue for a Terran city, red for a Martian colony.

Most probably he will start the construction of a new, better city very soon. Stay tuned. In the main news, llamas with oxygen masks escaped from local Martian farm and run away for unknown destination...

Great updates Terring! I love the "Life on Mars" song reference (and the song)  :D

The storytelling is always nice, and it's interesting seeing your work in "regular" SimCity  :thumbsup:

Many folks here, in Simtropolis and Simpeg select the blue pill, a future metropolis on Earth made by scratch. Others select the red pill, an improved version of a colony on Mars. Because there is still a lot of room for voting, please keep voting. Blue pill or red pill? Wanna see in the the next page a city on Earth or a colony on Mars? Until then, here are some pictures from the Terran city. Remember that is just in the beginning...

In 14/12/2010, a messy Mayor Diary begun it's journey into the future. It's 14/12/2011... and it's still messy :D :D
We're talking about Eden: The New Frontier, the only (so far) Simcity 4 story that it's totally based on planet Mars. The only (so far again) story with tons of Martian colonies and landscapes, Celestia pictures and scientific visions. And yes, it's my birthday today. To celebrate the 1 year of Eden, here is a nice video made by me. Hope that you like it :)

Planet Mars need 2 Terran years to orbit around Sun. Because of this, Mars has 24 months. So SimMartians celebrate Christmas 2 times in 1 Martian year.

Hahah, snowman on Mars, what a funny idea!  :D
Happy New Year!  :thumbsup:

What a large colony you have in Mars!

Great work! :thumbsup:

Fantastic update Terring, Eden is a spectacular colony!

Elias, I think you have had more fun doing a year or so's worth of Eden than just about any other MDer I know.  There's certainly a bunch of pretty cool stuff to be found here.  I'll be looking forward to seeing where all this heads in 2012.

Hi Elias,
i think it´s my first comment here (shame on me  ()sad()) This MD and what You do with the SimMars stuff is outstanding from beginning on! Although my preferences are different and more earthy (;D) i´m completely stunned and will come back again.

Nice udate! I especially like those plazas and good job with the university and arcologies  :thumbsup:

More spectacular an update my friend, keep watching and hoping for more. And great pyramid!

Great work on your new updates!! :thumbsup:

It's Tsiknopempti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Thursday) toady and guess what. It's time for an another one boring teaser about the still-under-construction Terran city of 2064 A.D. (95 A.T.). Remember that this city is huge, so I need to turn off the automata, pedestrians and shadows, in order to reduce lagging and crashes. So don't complain about "empty streets". Replies and a nice surprise are coming soon...

The Terran city looks great!
I like the airport ( maybe spaceport), and the night shoots :thumbsup:

Incredible stuff you have in your city Elias, another fantastic update!

Almost ready...

But Mars is truly belong to the SimMartians? There are many buildings made by an ancient civilization, about a million years old. However in the south-east of Respect-8, there is a strange formation of stones called Marshenge. Marshenge made about 100 years ago, and probably not naturally. Is there an intelligent specie lurking around the Martian deserts? The orbital scanners and air droids didn't find them yet, if they still exist. What will happen if/when the modern SimMartians will meed the Ancient Martians?

Hello my friends and welcome to a new feature, with crazy pictures, errors and epic failures. Who said that a mayor diary should be perfect? ;D ;D

Big city Elias !  &apls &apls

Great work Elias  &apls &apls  It took me a bit to catch up  ;D  Really enjoying the progress and look forward to what you have planned for the Terran city  :thumbsup:

After 4 months of construction, some backups and several crashes, the Terran city is finally here &dance . Have in mind that this is a city of the future, so be prepared for a lot of "mistakes" ;D . Before exploring the city, here are some useless facts. This city has many different layouts. One of them used in my very first city journal, Spicross (http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?topic=7566.0). Not something nice as you can see ::) . An another one is the application of my experimental skyscraper district layout (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/topic/29590-experimental-skyscraper-districts/), which got tons of negative comments because "it's very expensive, it's spread out the buildings too much, it's boring, it isn't reality, you have to cheat to have this, it's a terrible stupid idea, you put the same buildings in your examples over and over again..." &sly .

I spend a huge amount of time for this city and I know that my M.D. is not popular at all, but I really want to read your comments and ideas :)


jmyers2043: Glad to see that you like it :)

Schulmanator: Thank you :) . But believe it or not, Mars is not as far as we think. The closest distance between Earth and Mars can be 54.546.844 kilometres, but the distances between stars and galaxies are trillions of kilometres! It'ss a really huge space ;D

Let's call this city Futura. Obvious name, isn't? ::)

As you can see in those pictures, every area has it's own car and train layout. There is only a few traffic jam, mostly made by outside Sims. However almost everybody use the subway system. By having bus-subway combos literally in every corner and an advance tram system, who need the car?

Time to explore the city and see it in many angles. This is a cemetery next to a church. By having hydrogen cars with electric motor, the highways of the future will be more quiet. No need of soundwalls, just plant some trees.
