Fun until garbage AI gets in the way
Colonist: "I'm angry! We don't have enough food!" You: "We have enough food for like the next 3 weeks, what are you talking about? You're literally eating a sandwich right now." Colonist: "I won't be happy unless we have enough extra food for 3 months! I refuse to work!" You: "You're a farmer. If you were doing your job instead of walking around being angry, we'd have plenty of food and then you wouldn't be angry anymore." Colonist: "I don't want to do my job, I want to be angry!" You: "OK, go back to Earth and be angry there, moron." Colonist: "No! I want to be mad HERE! I'll just hang out using up your resources. By the way, we don't have enough food!" That pretty well summarizes Surviving Mars once you have an established colony. It's very fun to set up your base initially and get it going. But by the mid to late game, most of your time is spent trying to keep the whole thing from unraveling because the colonists are too stupid. You'll have a whole colony with plenty of resources, plenty of living space and entertainment, and a well-designed transportation network - and then one day you're in a prolonged crisis because of people just walking off the job like idiots and making all your buildings operate at one-third of capacity. The worst part is that you can't just send them back to Earth or shove them out an airlock; you have to keep supporting these morons while they loaf around, until they either die or leave on their own. I found the most effective way of dealing with them was to make them live in their own separate dome well away from the rest of the colony, and give them no food or resources. A literal Angry Dome. Eventually some of them get so mad they go back to Earth, but about half are so stupid they stick it out all the way until the bitter end and starve to death. Well, of course your Mars colony is going to fail if people who are all supposedly engineers and scientists with PhD's go around acting as stupid as apes.
