Nothing you do in the game has anything to do with socialism. It's a pure enviromentalist propaganda. It's a typical product of westerners who confuse socialism with eviromentalism. Fot the last time: No socialism is not about saving polar bears and stopping climate change. Socialism is about worker rights. Nothing less, nothing more....

I cheated and gave myself infinite power, and then rushed every project aside from SRM. got to negative emissions after 30 years and I still didn't win.

is there a way to guarantee you unlock the fusion reactor and encounter aliens

I got almost everything done really early and started space exploration, but my fuel and power demand, haha, skyrocketed. It changed from a few hundred units that I needed to a number in the billions, which not only ruined my economy but also left the planet in one giant blackout. Has anyone done space exploration and experienced the same thing, or is it just a bug? I'd guess it is a bug because the fuel/power number was so ridiculously high that it didn't fit with the rest of the game....

Well?
