About the Game
- Send your leaders to mysterious locations and uncover rich resource depots, giant crystal caves and stunning natural wonders.
- Found new cities on craters and in lava Tubes. Make them thrive and meet your population's rising demands.
- As the planet is procedurally generated, every new playthrough will be unique.
- Choose the best buildings from a selection of randomly proposed project cards at the start of every turn.
- Plan your city layout efficiently and find strong synergies between buildings.
- Grow your cities into utopian metropolises or industrial settlements automated by robots.
- Restart a volcano, construct giant space mirrors or nuke the poles to geo-engineer the entire planet.
- From spreading adaptive bacteria, to planting full-grown forests with bears. Each life form has specific requirements and provides strategic benefits.
- By making this game, we hope to inspire humankind to take its first steps out of the cradle and become an interplanetary species, starting with Mars! Do you want to join the terraforming movement, get updates about the game development? Then join our Discord server!

Hi terraformers,
The day has finally come: the final Terraformers DLC, Independence, is out now! 🚀
In this final expansion, Martian factions vie for power. Will you align with the Scientists, the Industrialists, or the Humanists? Maintain a careful balance: if one faction dominates, Mars may slide into autocracy. How will you shape Martian politics and guide the Red Planet toward independence from Earth?
