AMAZING!!! 
On a slightly unrelated note, is there an "official" Wiki for SM in the pipeline? How official is the Gamepedia one?

This is kinda weird.
I just went to my local Gamestop to preorder. Guy typed in "Surviving Mars" on the computer. Nothing came up. I went to the Gamestop App and did a search. Nope. The guy printed up the PS4 upcoming releases. I went through the list...not there.

I love the retro futurism! It's the only kind of Sci Fi style I really enjoy.
"Choose a space agency for resources and financial support"
What kinds of choices are available? Like in Civilization Beyond Earth? Is there a cosmonaut themed one to go with the retro future style? That would really cool.
Will there be a dedicated paradox wiki and will there be steam workshop support?

Not sure about a Paradox Wiki (@candyalien is having a well-deserved break this week, but will hopefully be able to let us know once she's back in the office), but in the meantime there's a Wiki on Gamepedia, which has some info on the available sponsors - cribbed from Quill18's excellent preview video - as well as some other info.
As it's a Paradox game, we're likely to get lots of mods which I'd guess will be managed through Steam Workshop.
In any case, we'll hopefully find out more in the weekly "Let's Play" tomorrow (Thursday), where we are told a couple of the team will be taking a colony into the mid-game, all being well - head on over to the Paradox twitch channel at 16:00 GMT, if you can!

They're interesting; I like the differences in play styles more than in difficulty setting, I hope they add more because it's an interesting concept and if there aren't government types this would be a major source of flavor.
Edit: took a look at the leader traits at the start with the bonus techs, that's really cool.
To the developers, you guys should take a look at the board game "Terraforming Mars." It's a pretty good game absolutely bursting with flavor and thematic content that you could probably make use of and be inspired by.
I've read somewhere (probably a dev diary, in the replies section) that they have played that boardgame, having games with most of the dev team ;-)
Also, if you go through the dev diaries and the let's play of the amazingly nuts team Nikki&Sussie you will discover a few things (like differences between some of the sponsors), and you will have a good time, they random talk topics while playing are awesome xD
Can confirm - I love Terraforming Mars and have been playing it with the design team quite often. It is my favorite Martian themed boardgame.
I've just realised I've got guests from the 15th til the next week... my first pre-purchase ever and I won't be able to play it on release And the hype is already too high!! xD
