Surviving Mars from Paradox Interactive and originally Haemimont Games from 2018 is being revived and expanded under a different developer named Abstraction.
Paradox will be launching an In-Dome Buildings Pack, developed in partnership with long-time community modder Silva. In addition, a free Tourism Update is planned to launch on Monday, March 15. The Tourism Update that will be free for everyone adds in an RC Safari, adds buildings, and more with Paradox saying we can expect some of the most requested tourism features to be added in with rewards and consequences.

"Since the launch of Surviving Mars: Green Planet, our players have been asking what’s next for Surviving Mars. The Tourism Update is just the beginning. The game is in good hands with Abstraction, they’re a team of veteran developers with years of experience making AAA titles and are passionate about Surviving Mars,” Magnus Lysell, Product Manager for Surviving Mars at Paradox Interactive, said. “We’re humbled by the overwhelming support for Surviving Mars. 5 million players is huge and we can’t wait to share what’s next with all of you soon!”
More exciting, is that they also confirmed a "fully-featured" expansion for Surviving Mars is in the works and will launch at some point in 2021.
If you don't own Surviving Mars, it's available for Linux from Humble Store, GOG, Paradox and Steam.
Paradox are also doing a new event called PDXCON Remixed between May 21-23 with a new Paradox Development Studio title to be revealed then.

Quoting: PhiladelphusQuoting: Guest-- editOnce you've increased the atmosphere to Earth-like pressures, there's gonna be wind.
Jokes aside, actually without pollinators and wind or animals to distribute seeds, plants would not spread on their own regardless of other favourable conditions.Though it's a good point about animal-based seed spreading…clearly the solution is to allow us to introduce animals to start spreading plants about the planet faster!
I heard taking some thousand *inserthighlypopulatedcountryhere* people with brushes could work as well. ;)
Quoting: AnzaInteresting tidbit that I noticed is that buildings for the In-Dome Buildings Pack have been made in Blender.

Continuing the cooking theme. You can bake in Blender...animations.

If you're a "First Colony Edition" owner, you will need to pay extra for this one (all the DLC is usually free for "First Colony Edition" owners), though... At least on GOG.com you do; I'm assuming it's the same for Steam.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyFYI, the "In-Dome Buildings Pack" is already available (the article above implies it's coming soon)I believe it wasn't available at the time the article was written (I looked), but released a scant day or two later.

I figured that, but I posed the links in hope they would update the article with the direct links, now that it is actually available...
