- Terraform a terrestrial planet in seconds
- Generate logs of terraforming actions completed
- Future-proof terraforming for long-lasting results
This guide provides a quick way to get started with our project. Please see our docs for a more comprehensive overview.
- A Mars or Earth sized terrestrial planet
- 1.35e18 metric tonnes of water
- 3210 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide
- Find a planet satisfying the above requirements
- Clone terraformly Python package via
git clone [email protected]:riverma/terraformly.git
- Navigate to the directory where terraformly is installed, i.e.
terraformly - Run Python code, by first opening a terminal window
cd terraformly
python terraformly.py
- Wait approximately 100 years
- See example output in screenshot at the top of this README
python terraformly.py --label Mars --planet-type terrestrial --surface-area 55.91 --surface-area-units million-sq-miles
Expected results:
Working...
(192 years later)
Done.
python terraformly.py --label Luna --planet-type moon --surface-area 38 --surface-area-units million-sq-km
Expected results:
Sorry. Not enough water present for terraforming.
See CHANGELOG for details.
- How long does terraformly take to run?
- A few seconds to launch, but approximately 100 years for a Mars sized planet. Results vary by terrain and geological conditions.
- Does terraformly work on moons without water?
- No, as mentioned in the requirements, 1.35e18 metric tonnes of water are required to run terraformly.
