Using mars specific semantics

from Offworld Forums

Hey there.

First, i'm very happy th have purchased OTC, as i love playing that kid of games. Amazing job is done here !

Second, apologizes for my poor english !

So, here is the point. My first feedback concerns the mars specifis semantic.

The most striking example of that : Geothermal source. The correct word should be "Areothermal" source.

Next, on Mars, we have no days, but "sols".

I used to study astrophysics, i know this is not a cosmic simulation, but i think the game could earn some scientific credibility by using the correct terms, don't you agree ?

Some deeper textual anaylse should be interesting.

Finally, why don't we see the regolith ? I suppose the O2 and water production is an answer, but is there a path to implement that very low cost resource ?

Thanks !

;)

On one hand, I think using these "more correct" terms would be pretty neat!

On the other, I don't want to hinder the buy-in from potential customers by unnecessarily confusing people with words they aren't familiar with.

I think changing them would be okay, as long as the tutorial/tooltips made it easy to understand.  I don't think the tutorial is up to par yet though!
