Mars 1
The Mars 1 mission is a non profit foundation where they hope to send humans to live and grow on mars for the rest of their lives. what they plan to do is to send rovers ahead a few years to get a settlement started and prepared for human survival. They are taking in applicants to live their that fulfill their large lists of requirements.
One of the requirements is physical and your ability to handle certain physical strain at your age. I am 17 so i would need to be able to do 24 curl ups, 9-12 trunk lifts, 18 push ups etc. I can not meet those physical requirements so i would immediately be out already.
Mars 1 is mainly English but they do accept applicants from different countries if they speak 1 of these 11 languages English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Chinese Mandarin, Korean, Indonesian, or Japanese. You may also be required to speak at least 2 languages. I only speak English so i do not meet these requirements either.
Also if you wish to apply you must have a clean bill of health and have no dependency or addiction to drugs (Medicinal or recreational). you must also have 20/20 vision not requiring the constant need of glasses. Their is also a height requirement. i have 20/20 vision but one of the requirements is no diseases and cancer and alzheimers run in my family so i have no clue if i will get it later in my life.
From the requirements i have read i do not meet the requirements to join mars 1 in almost all of the categories listed.

GJ- Day 4
The plan i had used yesterday had seemed to work very well except i had started to run out of food and had many colonist starve. I think because of the large amount of colonist i had food had started to run low so i am limiting the amount of colonist ships that can come.

GJ- Day 2
Planet base is a survival strategy game where you and a group of colonist land on one of four planets and you try to set up and start your own colony. the people that land with you on your planet all have abilities and talents suited for your survival. you have workers, biologist, Engineers, Medics, and two types of bots, carrier bots and constructor bots.

Planet base has some cool features that make the game more difficult and more interesting such as natural disasters including sandstorms and meteors randomly crashing around your colony. also to unlock more planets (you start off with the sand planet) you need to unlock milestones such as building a monolith or surviving for a amount of time.

A good strategy to start off with would be to start off making an oxygen generator, water collector, and some power collectors and storage. once those are built make a canteen as a place for your colonist to eat and make a dorm where they can sleep. Remember to always connect your buildings and a little side not to remember is that some facilities have can only have one connection such as the Dorm.

Some tips to remember is not to over build or build your facilities to large or you will run out off resources fast and nothing will get built. Also if you wish to see inside your base press tab to take down the tops of facilities.
