When you look at perseverance rover photos, a lot of them look like straight out of terra gen, simplistic, artificial. I think it's because the underlying mechanism that created those sediments was simple, like a simple chemistry, not complex microbial life.

- zokier 5y agoI am bit confused, what sort of features are missing there? Like any example pictures where you see the impact of microbial life in comparison? Also confused by the fact that rock looks like its maybe few feet across (admittedly difficult to judge the scale), so the effects and development I would imagine are quite different from large-scale features like discussed in the article, or what I associate terragen with.
