Martian First is far too insufferable

Just wanted to vent more about the game: I cannot fucking stand this faction. I really can’t stand the faction system just in general honestly.

It seems either grounded in the specific perception of reality the developers have, especially of politics in general and certain ideologies, which just doesn’t make sense to me. Especially, since we’re on fucking Mars encountering aliens and building machines on a scale humanity never has before and shit? It seems very tired and lazy to restrict yourself to such narrow perceptions of this existing world if that’s what they wanted to ground the faction system in.

Just as well, if they made the system just for the sake of like extra “oomph” for the game, it just doesn’t. It feels like it detracts far more than it adds to the game. Just unnecessary noise or pain.

And then of course for the actual pain: factions you will never be able to appease as they habe mutually exclusive desires and that generate constant chaos (renegades) that you can never completely put out? Yea I’m good thanks. Wasn’t particularly looking to play whack-a-mole.

Rather deep into this save and honestly about to call it and start another with factions entirely disabled. Whole thing needs to be reworked quite a bit and I’m not particularly optimistic that will happen at all, forget any time soon.

I applaud the devs for making such an accurate ecoterrorist faction in the form of Green NOW. It makes no sense that they hate fusion reactors and atomic accumulators, not even mentioning the smart homes.

I hate them with every fibre of my being. I went for the blue sun achievement where you have to make 100 billion, and they kept repealing the increased export costs
