A recreation of Mars based on NASA survey data, scaled to fit Space Engineers. Olympus Mons, Valles Marineris, Hellas and the polar caps are all where they really are, and ores follow real Mars geology (no gold, silver, uranium or platinum, so look to space for those).

The "almost" bit? It was built to be played for a scenario I'm doing, at 240 km across, so hills 10x taller for their size, and it uses Keen's Mars gravity and air so you can actually play on it. Use Console Spawn Planets to get it in at the right size, but it should play fine at 120km either way.

Terrain: NASA MOLA and TES data. Textures from Poly Haven & ambientCG
