About Terra Firma

Terra Firma gives you the power to play god in a simulated world where the forces of nature interact in complex ways. Currently in early access, right now you can

  • Watch water flow through the landscape, eroding and depositing the land to form complex arrangements of tributary river systems, river deltas, lakes and oceans in an emergent fashion.
  • Observe the ecosystem respond to the availability of water. Plants automatically gross across the lanscape with different plants thriving in different environments depending on the distribution of water, nutrients and the geometry of the land.
  • Create your landscape using simulated plate tectonics, watching mountains form, grow and erode as millions of years pass in the blink of an eye. Customize the landscape to your will, raising, lowering and flattening it to see how the enviornment changes as a result
  • Zoom all the way from looking at an individual tree or plant to view the entire map across hundreds of square kilometres

there is a really annoying bug where lava and water doesnt add when zoomed in at maximum level with any size so i cant see how life reacts to the sudden appearance of lava. furthuremore when zoomed out to where i cant see the life does the lava suddenly appear. i do not recommend because i am hoping the devs see the negative reviews and fix the bugs. i will recommend afterwards

It's great for being free! It runs a bit slow at times but it's still impresive and fun to play around with. There isn't a lot of depth but as I said, it's free and fun so it doesn't matter to me. It's like a great demo for terra firma 2, because it made me hungry for more and I ended up bying it too. But if you don't have the money or don't care for more depth then this game is still great for what it is.

I love this game. First only plants spawned, but now also animals do, but I can't find any information about this update.

when i first played it i got bored nearly instantly because there isnt really much to do and it dosent look nice when you just start a map, oh also the controls are vague and clunky, but once i needed to study (im in high school) i thought to myself "yeah sure why not ill leave it running in the background and see what happens" and i cant stop running it while i study now!! SO pretty SO and cool and im SO excited to try the sequel once exams are over!!!! (also i read reviews for the second one, i reccomend putting some time into this before spending money on the sequel (and also read the 1.0 release patch notes for this one))
