164 hrs in game AND only 2.25% ! ! ! HELP PLEASE

[dmckinney2]

I have over 164 hours into this game, All research complete, Have built everything (including a space station. Have installed wells. Have built all atmosphere analyzers AND I have only completed 2.24%. I'm frustrated. I need a guide but nobody has issued one. Researched web to no avail. Without some guidance, I'm lost. If I can't get some direction to pursue, I'm hanging this CONFUSING game. No manual... No guide... No help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to post my very first NEGATIVE review. I have tried to like this game, but enough is enough! I QUIT!

Really sorry for the confusion. I'll try my best to explain here:

1. Open the Terraform panel at the bottom, which lists each indicator that needs to be met and the method to complete this indicator. Click on the corresponding entry, and you will be prompted with related technologies and buildings on the left side of the panel.

2. To be more specific: build a core well, digging to the core, then build some Massive Hydrogen Bombs, send the bomb in to the core through Core Well, this will quickly increase the geothermal energy. Then build more diversion wells. When the geothermal heat reaches a certain level, the spouts of the diversion wells will continuously spew out gas to increase the air pressure. As the air pressure rises, the temperature will also start to rise.

Thanks. I have both wells & bombs but don't know how to put the bombs into the well. Also, what's the difference between the transporter & supply van?

select core-well and open the "Drill Well" tab, you can click "New transportation plan" button to ship bombs to the core.

Transporter(the flying one)is used with Logistcis Hub for cross-region transporting.
and Supply Van is a mobile warehouse.

There are indeed some parts that are a bit difficult to figure out, hope this helps

In the same topic , do we need to throw hundreds and hundreds of hydrogene bombs to lower the radioactivity to the required level ?
Because the solar shielding probe is limited to 1 ...

Is it supposed to be the case that all other terraforming technologies are useless? The atmospheric plant and asteroid redirections are a joke, it's an absurd waste of resources to terraform. Even the Core Drill takes dozens and dozens of big nuclear boms (and consequently, many tens of thousands of uranium) to get anywhere near useful. Each hydrogen bomb appears to raise the geothermal energy by 0.2, and even at geothermal level 15 (my current) it's still taking dozens of real-life hours to increase the atmosphere by *checks note* about 10kPa.

It really, really does not feel like the current level of industrial potential matches even remotely to what you need for terraforming.

Solar Wind Shielding Array can decrease the radiation from the Sun, which is 50%, and remaining 50% is radiation from the universe. It needs to be shielded by activating the Mars's core, creating a Martian magnetic field

When the core well is diverted, there is a probability that the minerals deep in the formation will be brought out, which will greatly supplement the subsequent consumption of uranium ore. Especially when there are a lot of diversion wells.

Asteroids can be directed to replenish the minerals you need
As for the Atmosphere Factory...it does seem like it deserves some buffing.

All of these mechanics are nowhere explained in the game documentation.

It is nice to know that asteroids carry minerals. I am not quite there with the capability to launch anything into space, but knowing what to expect will help me to plan for my future. I am running into a bottleneck with too little metal ore, even with lots of concurrent mining in my two regions.
