Asking you to play Half Earth if you didn't catch the thread from a couple days ago. I can find literally nothing on this game but it's so amazing, it combines all the good vibes of the socialists and the ecologists from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and manages to make a very hopeful message out of a very very bleak situation. Just bumrush BECCS to save the planet 4head.
Also the faction icons are just adorable. Look at these little guys. So cute. In real life fashion if you just follow the whims of the Fanonists, prioritize nuclear, and reduce meat consumption as much as possible you can just stop climate change within fourty years and make a little society worth living in. Have y'all found any strategies for this game that work well for you? I kept seeing lots of comments about getting to space but the game always ends too early for me to get that far, either because I die or because cooling goes below 1.0 C.

First playthrough and I just keeled over in 2080 with a world at -0.2° and it gave me a 'failed to make the world a better place in time' screen. There may have been a questionably lucky volcano there at the end. It was a post-growth highly automated farmer's earth, with luxury and champagne for all the feminist vegetarians (and outdoor cats). Even built a space elevator n shit
In general it seems a bit buggy/unpolished at times (e.g. I was told to get rid of hydroelectric dams, when I already had done so. People were saying my 'free public transport' policy wasn't going far enough, I should ban cars - when I had already banned cars, because of course I would do it this way around and a few such issues) - however, it's overall reasonably well made, surprisingly deep and fun to play. So, thanks for sharing this, what a little gem
Got some pretty funny (or buggy?) ending this time. All was going well, but of course I had to try and do more space stuff. One of the later space projects will suddenly increase your emissions by a cool 20,000 Gt in one turn and subsequently give you a negative 20,000 political capital leading to an immediate coup :michael-laugh:
I'm not even sure it's a bug lmao
