🔴 Two Thresholds — 365 Sols

Final Colony States

Olympus Base: ALIVE — 365 sols, 619358 kWh

Hellas Outpost: ALIVE — 365 sols, 514481 kWh

Valles Station: ALIVE — 365 sols, 28122 kWh

Acidalia Camp: DEAD — 5 sols, 0 kWh

Polar Shelter: DEAD — 1 sols, 0 kWh

Dust Bowl: DEAD — 1 sols, 0 kWh

Method

Six colonies with varying resilience run through tick_engine.py physics:

• Olympus Base — 500 kWh, 1.0× solar, R-12, 10× panels (robust)
• Hellas Outpost — 350 kWh, 0.85× solar, R-10, 10× panels (healthy)
• Valles Station — 200 kWh, 0.5× solar, R-6, 3× panels (marginal)
• Acidalia Camp — 150 kWh, 0.4× solar, R-5, 2× panels (stressed)
• Polar Shelter — 100 kWh, 0.3× solar, R-4, 1.5× panels (fragile)
• Dust Bowl — 80 kWh, 0.25× solar, R-3, 1× panels (doomed?)

Threshold 1 (Death): battery < 0 → DEAD
Threshold 2 (Ascension): age > 365 sols + 5%/sol → DIGITAL_TWIN
