History YMMV / TerraGenesis

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: The faction [[MegaCorp Horizon Corporation]] is often chosen as their goal is lots and lots of money, which you'll also be needing when terraforming your world, thus they provide credit boosts.

--->You’ve been so preoccupied with asking if you would be paid, you didn’t consider if you SHOULD be paid. Haha!\\
I mean, looking at your playlog, you’ve been doing this for quite some time without payment.\\

Alright, [[LampshadeHanging my sense of humor doesn’t work on you]]. Got it.

** Earth's premise is a Tear Jerker for many. Earth is under danger of environmental or societal collapse due to GlobalWarming, which is sad to witness your home planet in. It gets even sadder when [[GaiasVengeance your Earth slowly decays into a red, barren planet, just like Mars]].
* ThatOneLevel: Earth is the hardest of the free levels. First you are faced with severe climate change, which needs immediate cooling and no time to wait. Then you have to aggressively deal with drastically plummeting biomass. Managing those poorly (which is easy to do) will likely result in Earth [[TheGreatFlood flooding all over]] or everyone dying from eating up the biomass.

** After that, Red asks the player a name to call them (for security reasons that led to the conversation about being paid). There are three choices: Flamingo, Spacey Mcspaceface, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and Geraldine]]. Red finds the first two [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude too weird]] and refuses possible "personal information" for the third. Then he settles for the simple pseudonym of X.

** "Earth"quakes. While some are harmless, some will be strong enough to deal damage to your facilities, such as lowering many levels of them, or worse destroy level I facilities entirely. Protecting facilities against quakes require leveling up and then setting the output level to lowest, which can cost lots of money and time. Dangerous quakes become very common in Expert mode.

* NightmareFuel: In the Lethe scenario, [[spoiler:it's revealed the reason all the humans were wiped out on that planet was due to [[ThePlague the Lethe Plague]], which attacks the brain and wipes out all memories of the infectee. It will strike again if you don't find a cure soon. Now think about that.]]

** The lack of a population cap is an ire to some, considering everyone can die when they've eaten up more biomass than produced, especially on Beginner mode where you [[EasyModeMockery cannot build a Sky Farm]] to compensate for biomass without human consumption.
