A bit related:

During the holiday season I wanted to spend some time playing a game the supports Ubuntu & Windows and found Surviving Mars. I hadn't played a game like it since Outpost, but I am impressed the quality and found it enjoyable to play: https://www.paradoxplaza.com/surviving-mars/SUSM01GSK-MASTER...




Oh, Paradox... I'll have to give this one a try! I haven't had that itch rightly scratched since staring at tiny videos crammed onto the Outpost CD-ROM and writing the detailed narratives in my head.

Edit: I forgot how epic the intro was. Especially for 1994 DOS. Did not forget the music. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NtfmvwyHuNs&t=21

It's a shame Dune II pivoted the market to RTS or bust by the time Outpost II came out.


It looks like Surviving Mars is on Xbox Game Pass. Downloading now. Thanks!

Try Per Aspera. Another good Mars colonization game.

And Factorio is great for base building too.
