Terraformed Europa

Terraformed Europa map

If life exists beyond Earth in our solar system, it could very well exist on Europa. Slightly smaller than Earth's Moon and blanketed by sheets of ice many kilometers thick, it is theorized that Europa also has a sub-surface ocean of liquid water, warmed by the tidal forces of Jupiter's gravity.

As a water world, Europa will pose unique challenges to the first colonists who land there. It will be up to you to determine whether to leave it as-is and live on top of the ice, or to melt it and risk flooding the whole world.

About[]

Europa is a natural satellite of the giant planet Jupiter. It is one of the 4 main moons of Jupiter.

It has a tremendous amount of water that is all frozen in Its crust, or apart of its subsurface ocean (The game does not include the subsurface ocean, however).

Strategy[]

The first job is to mostly get rid off of the nearly 2-kilometer thick ice. Build a lot of Ice Launchers. The Ice Launchers can get rid the 1 pressure (because of its extremely thin atmosphere). After you got rid of its very tenuous atmosphere, the oxygen instantly zeros out, getting rid of the oxygen-rich atmosphere. After that can begin terraforming as usual.

Trivia[]

  • Europa has a liquid ocean below the surface, such that there is a possibility of life.
  • Europa was named after Europa, the Phoenician mother of King Minos of Crete and lover of Zeus.
