I think our options should be to have solar feilds (the largest plant in area & the most inefficient), an old-fashoined fission plant (for the poor cities), a microwave station (only if your region is creating a certain number of industrial jobs, as Mars industrial facilities will be predominately mining, hi-tech manufacturing, genetic engineering, & agriculture.), a fusion plant (requires similar requirments as the microwave plant, only larger.), plus you have the choice to have structures provide thier own power by fuel cells if you really don't want to spend money on power plants. The water supply would either have to be from melting down portions of the icecap, or combining extracted oxygen from the atmosphere with hydrogen. Oxygen production would be by plants (the living kind) within the structures.

There are three ways a PRT system can be developed: As mini-monorails. As mini el-trains & As light rail (real light). Any PRT vehicle should not be much bigger than a large van & carry no more than 20 passengers. EDIT: PRT's can also be mini-maglevs too...

Chozo did you even look at my post about a PRT system?

How about an immigration center? Imagine all those people coming in every day...

How about a Personalized Rapid Transit system (PRT)? They're always yapping about thier possibilities, why not creat a system like this for SimMars. Because when you compare the pricing, a PRT system is more efficient than a maglev, or high speed rail system because it provides more comfort, more spacious conditions, & can go to & depart from destinations quicker than any current rail or bus system. Mostly because of few passengers, & frequent stops by other cars. Tell me what you think...

Nice, oh & by the way I'm the 200th replyee!

Some recent additions: Llama, & Simtropolis!

What's the matter with good old fashioned thinking?

You mean these are mine, those is past tense.

I'm fairly new, but here are the cities from my Maxis-oriented Maxisland region. Area 5.1, EA City, Launch, Maxis, MEX City, Modde, Montessori, New City, Projen, Stratton.
