How much realism does the game abide by in the actually theoretical terraforming process of mars? Just curious.

Any terraforming simulator would have to take into account the severe imbalance of CO2 compared to oxygen and water in the atmosphere and surface, so they have to stretch a lot of the physical limitations to make this possible

Not to mention the creation of a magnetic field to help protect mars from solar blasts that would just destroy whatever atmosphere you put into it. And some sort of gravity generator to help humans live there without turning into blob people like in WALL-E.

Yeah, the lack of a magnetosphere is why it lacks so much water to begin with
