Hey, I'm not sure if anybody else has asked this before, but what about gravity? The game is set on Mars, which has 38% of Earths gravity. So does everybody just have terrible muscle atrophy, or how do the crawlers move around with so much grip on the ground without sliding everywhere? Matter of fact, how does anything work in this environment? A lore explanation would be nice, because this seems like a bit of an oversight. Keep up the great work though, always glad to see new development!

I don't think it's too important to explain - most of the actual terraforming lore probably won't make it in - but the gravity of Mars would likely increase by at least 20% post-colonization since it would now have seas, a thicker atmosphere, and a higher mass from throwing asteroids at it.

There was probably a lot of mandatory gene modification early on to make sure people develop and retain muscle mass faster. It's at least partially why Ms. Sommers is so strong.
Keep up the great work though, always glad to see new development!
Thank you!
