Liquid Water "lake" discovered on Mars

[Aotrs Commander]

Somewhat pertinent, one feels, to bring to the attention of the community (and the developers, for any ideas it might give them!) just for interest.

News today says that scientists have discovered a subterrenean lake of liquid (if likely very salty) water near the south pole of Mars.

(I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post an external link - as I recall the PDX forums have rules on that - so you can just google "Mars lake BBC" or something and you should find an article. If one of the mods authorises it, I'll put a link in the OP s well.)

When I heard about this on the news, I couldn't help thinking that this would make a great landing site for my colony. Too much Surviving Mars...

The Economist (economist.com) also has a story: "astronomers-have-found-a-lake-on-mars"

Only if the devs take any notice!

At this point I don't even know if the game is still being developed.

It is awfully quiet around here, however there are still at least two expansions to come, as they are included in the season pass.

But I suspect that is all we are get, as it seems surviving mars has been all but abandoned. Shame really, the game has a lot of potential but really needs more mid-late game content.
