Can I Terraform Mars in 100 Days? | Surviving Mars 

Thanks again to Paradox for the sponsorship on this one. Genuinely surprised at the amount of big brain activity required and how much more open it was than I originally expected. Since it was my first time trying it, I didn't spend as much time on the extra stuff, but you can check out the new DLC, Below and Beyond, here: rebrand.ly/AmbiguousAmphibian

The person who decided that the symbol for science and technology would be a volumetric flask was the potion seller. You cannot argue with him because you cannot handle his strongest potions.

I love how the 'space bar' is like, four times the size of the research centre lol

"Does... one of them have a gun????" made me spit out my drink. Thanks, Amphibuous Ambigian

I actually bought this game not long ago but I was desperately confused that being said I’m gonna use this video to help me learn the game and get into it. Thank you strange frogesque sage.

"don't be fooled, this isn't Chicago" Thank God. We'd be screwed if the first city on Mars was Chicago 2.

Looks at penguin “at the end of the day we are all mammals”

I’m dying at the “frolicking gayly” after the pile of dead colonists. I want my funeral to be just like that.

"Yes it's garbage, but it's our garbage " the way my parents describe me to other people

This absolutely REEKS of 60's animated infotainment. I love it WOAH! SLOW DOWN THERE LITTLE BILLY, MAKE SURE YOU LIKE THE VIDEO FIRST!

4:37 Does he knows something we don't know?!

Seeing all of the colonists walk back home all depressed and shit was fucking hilarious

3:45 "This robot is doing some sort of Tai-Chi dance and asking Satan to summon a building. Thank you Tai-Chi and thank you Satan." *Help me I can't breathe XD*

"We are all one race as mammals" Guess we're ignoring the penguinI suppose

"Why hadn't the space corporation weeded out all of the alcoholics with Benjamin Button disease in the application process?" I was NOT expecting that from you, caught me so off guard I spat out my drink. Grade A work my friend

I was drinking water when you thanked Satan, and almost choked on it, then spat it all out when you said his name is now _Stan!_ This made my evening, thank you so much!

A small note for anyone picking up the game, start as brazil, you get automatic waste stone to Rare trade resources which will fund you even without colonists, and allows you to completely terraform mars without people (you can use this income to research on earth) their nation also allows without mods making mars tourism profitable.

This was on my wishlist but I'd completely forgotten about it - and it is exactly the style of game I love. Thank you for reminding me! I've downloaded it and am ready to fail horribly and cause the deaths of hundreds in my efforts to colonize a hostile planet. Could not stop cackling at the various angles on "starvation death march home to take a nap". Brilliant commentary as always! Take care, froggy sibling.

Love your VOD channel, but have reeeeaally loved your philosophical, whimsical, style on these videos for about a year now.

"The situation on Earth has reached critical levels. If humanity is to survive, we must colonize Mars!" "Yes! And we must remember not to make the same mist-" Ambiguous Amphibian: *Pollutes liberally*

Volumetric flasks have rounded sides and a long neck, so that they can be swirled or filled to a marked line with precision. What you have here is an Erlenmeyer, which is made for titrations (to prevent splashing). 🙂

As a troglodyte, I must commend you for helping to socially normalize our condition with your magnetically charged and well toned voice.

I can't stop laughing at the depressed space colony. A beautiful tragedy.

So, in this game, you are literally god, creating a Garden of Eden in 7 days on the Planet of Mars.

Ah, industry-realization. How poetic.

"And thank you Satan." Was where I was surprised and laughed and this video earned a like

*Checks subs list, sees 4 videos on surviving mars.* LEAVE ME ALONE PARADOX I ALREADY OWN THE GAME.

i absolutely adore this channel with every part of my heart. Thank you for making these videos!!!

Day 6 they are like. We’ve got a little bit of food. Some science. And a lot of alcohol. Let’s f*cking do this.

You glorious amphibian! On point editing and comedic timing!

Paradox on point with sponsorships.

i cant wait for kenshi 2 to come so i can see you upload another torsolo run

AmphibiousAmbiguan I had to hold in my tea without spitting it out 90% of the time while I was watching you. This is absolutely hilarious, thank you.

I thought that would be considered an Erlenmeyer flask, not volumetric

@4:43 "One of them is an alcoholic. I can't wait to meet them now." - made me chuckle sensibly.

I constantly quote "slow down there boys" in my best impersonation of ambiguousamphibian in my work (daily) and nobody...... NOBODY has any context and I love it.

Let us all praise Stan, the almighty.

"It will take centuries to terraform such a planet!" AA: "Give me four months max."

ambiguousamphibian, I started watching your video's during one of my many Rimworld binges. They were all very entertaining so, in what is a rare occurrence for me, I decided to check out some of your vids from games I don't play, also extremely entertaining. Thanks for getting me into Kenshi, what a truly incredible game. Keep up the great content abstrusenewt.

Its going to bug me for eternity if I don't nitpick, so here it is: that's an Erlenmeyer flask, not a volumetric flask. Volumetric flasks are basically teardrop shaped with long necks, Erlenmeyer flasks have flat bottoms.

He says volumetric flask and I die a little more each time...

For a moment, I was concerned that this was Chicago. Thank you for putting me at ease.

Man, all your inflections, eclectic hectic commentary out of your experience of the game with your authentic creation of story-telling. I just discovered you after your video popped up of "Can I Survive Trapped Underground in Rimworld?". Great stuff mate.

Each line that guy drops is either poetry, philosophy or pure entertainment - or at times each of these! I could listen to him for hours on end!

Someones been plundering the steam sales again. You can call your youtube career a business and write off expenses of buying games you know :)

Not gonna lie. This was a perfect day to see this. Been having a crap week so far and AA's antics always bring a smile to my face.

You're definitely a staple channel for me. Pretty much all the games you do videos on are either in my favorites list, on my wishlist, or rarely, games that need to be on my wishlist but aren't yet.

Oh my god this guys dry humor is literally amazing. I love it! Naturally.

Crazy how far you've come i remember when u had 50k and now your almost 500k!!! Keep the bangers coming

"this isn't chicago" It's a desolate wasteland that may at one time have been inhabitable, but that time has long since passed...

This is so strange, I just reinstalled Surviving Mars yesterday after not playing for ages and here's this gem of a video

This appeared on my recommendation and had a good laugh watching. A deserved sub :)

Calling an Erlenmeyer flask a volumetric flask multiple times pained me but as always this video was great

Man, this game is a time machine disguised as games I was planning to play this game for 1 hour, ended up playing it for straight 6 hours, and it felt like 1 hour I had to spartan my essay from 1 AM to 7 AM and submit it at 10 AM

One of these days you're going to kill one of your viewers by making them choke on their drink laughing.

"Thank you Tai Chi and thank you Satan" is not a sentence I would *ever* have imagined I would hear. lmao

"Aint got nothing" Not long in Florida and its already effecting you

Came for Project Zomboid, stayed for the phylosophic shit talking. Keep up the good Work, man

I am convinced the free download on Steam is completely thanks to the fact that we're getting a sponsored video from this big brain guy with the biggest brain jokes

The old-school "narrator reigning in excited subject" voice kills me every time.

If I went to mars, I want you to go with me

This was incredible

That slightly opaque penguin at the end with the catastrophic philosophic monologue damn near brought me tears of glorious saddened joy. AA, you are the best at this. Please never stop.

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at something that I cried. Great job and sense of humor. I'm sure my wife didn't appreciate me giggling like a school girl on my side of the couch, but this made my month and I'll likely end up getting the game.

You uploaded this as Door Monster also uploaded about Surviving Mars.

it shouldn't bug me as much as it does, but that's an Erlenmeyer/conical flask, not a volumetric flask

My inner AP chemistry student is torn between "that's not a volumetric flask, it's an Erlenmeyer" and "Someone actually bothered to look it up, NICE!".

“This is sponsored by Paradox”… also, “Thank you Satan!”

You were calling that a volumetric flask but it is actually a erlenmeyer flask nerd, out

Idea for next video: "Can I continue at least 1 playthrough?"

My head cannon for 1)why terraforming is so quick, 2)why superpowers made missions that are barely more resourceful than random companies and 3)why colonists aren't the best of the best is that _all other landing sites you haven't chosen, are also used by other missions._ So that's like 300-500 sites(can't recall how many grids there are) and superpowers have to split between them. Which means there are thousands of rockets and almost a million people working on it daily crashing more ice asteroids, nuking ice caps and releasing modified life forms 24/7... plus the game time obviously runs much faster with how colonists die of old age. So yeah, with such a scale maybe it's possible in century instead of 500-5000 years.

oh phibi, it's like listening to a terrifying how it's made. please do this more, all the time yes, please...yes... love the content. keep it up.

The AA support group really came in handy with the alcoholic problem on Mars. Not that Paradox was helping.

game looks lit

This whole vid is hilarious - great job!

This is one of my favorite videos. I’m not sure how many times unexpected dry jokes came out one after another and made me heave laughing

I hate to be like one of those people, but that is more of a conical flask as a volumetric typically has a longer neck and has rounded sides with a gradient line for making volumetric solutions. Any who, just got to pop back into the lab to finish of my titrations using a conical flask with my standards from my volumetric flasks.....

"Can I Terraform Mars in 100 Days?" The answer? No.

so hilariously detached keep up the good work shady frog

Glory to Stan for enabling colonization on Mars, just so we can witness a SCP-like event of The Many in one spot imitating a diety, then sluggishly and slowly marching back to their dome to rest on chrome beds. ... I don't even. I love your well-spoken yet hilarious commentary, good stuff.

NASA should hire this man to terraform Mars, he'll find a way...

most people: lol the animation makes them look soo saaad!! ambiguous: *goes on a presidential level speech that damn near brought a tear to my eye* you're crazy good man, keep it up, much love!

super cool to see your getting sponsors!

I had no clue Surviving Mars was free rn thank you so much Ambiguousamphibian I've been wanting this game for so longgg

you should do a vidio on workers and resouces and soviet republic as you can make a completely self sufficiant nation

God, I could listen to you read the dictionary.

I've been trying to figure out what makes these videos so charming, and I think I've finally got it. His narration is very similar to that of an informational video from the 1950s.

Somehow he’s so much better at these games just fking around than I am trying hard

I was wondering what kind extreme scene you will play in the video, then you came up with that "queue of sadness", so ridiculous funny, good job!

That ending was comical AND poetic. Bravo, ambiguously slimy man. Bravo.

I came in here expecting a speedrun strat. That changed about a minute in, but I stayed till the end. This shit is hypnotic.

No yt gaming video has business being so eloquently worded especially the ending which was poetry.

I legit burst out laughing at industry realization. Great video!

I think I subscribed to you back in 2017 while playing a CSGO game and you asked our group to subscribe. If my memory serves me right you were a very small channel back then if not just starting, although I could be wrong. My subscription back then did not disappoint as I've stumbled upon this gem of a channel recently and realized I was already subscribed. Your content is great and I'm happy to see you've done well for yourself on youtube man, you did not disappoint :)

As a 500+ hour kenshi player, i found your conent via kenshi. There simply is not enough kenshi content creators out there. I found you and general sam the same way, one of like..4 kenshi content creators. Thank you for that, and this. i didnt even know you could terraform mars when i played this game. Thought it was entirely about survival and nothing else.

"collaborating" is a fancy word for sponsor

Thank you; from multiple parts of my heart, for using the word 'myriad' correctly. If the money I inserted into the back of my computer doesn't get to you, let me know.

Ambiguousamphibian always sounds passive-aggressive but somehow never gets to the aggressive part

Ive enjoyed many of your vids, but this one made me laugh in tears.

Not gonna lie. Paradox interactive always produces LIT games ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
