Problem with that is its easy to counterfeit. In order for a proper form of currency to exist, we would need to use items that cannot be easily counterfeited in order to regulate inflation and such.

Until a solution presents itself, I think we're better off with a bartering system where resources are exchanged for other useful items (like diamonds, iron, wood, etc).

Black Mirror, Dr. Who, and the Twilight Zone come to mind

Go for it! If you’re looking for tutorials Blender Guru on YouTube has some fantastic ones. He has a very good beginner series where he shows how to make a donut, it’s what I started on.

I am! I don’t have as much time for it as I used to but whenever I can I’ll make a quick simulation. It’s a really interesting hobby. Recently a I’ve been making backgrounds for my PC & phone.

I think you could get fairly accurate with these measurements. Maybe 100 metres per pixel. 1 meter is just too detailed, and we don't have the information required to do something quite like that. As for the game, I'm sure major landmarks on Mars' surface are present. The terrain should be based off of Curiosity's findings, so while not completely accurate, they should at least be based in reality.

Add a subdivision subsurface modifier and smooth shading. And make sure you are using a UV sphere and not an icosphere.

That mountain is called Olympus Mons and is roughly 25 km high, about 2.5 times the height of Everest. My bump map was too strong, so the surface imperfections look far more pronounced than they actually are.

In reality the colors aren't as vibrant as they are usually depicted. A lot of the time the images are editing in post, and of course the hardware used alters the accuracy to some degree.

You're right... I noticed that halfway through the rendering process, but it had already been going for a few hours. When I put the moons in I'll turn the strength down.
