Mars Open Facilities
The key facilities of the Mars colonies, live: propellant, power, air, iron, water and food. Every number comes from a running plant model sized from published engineering data.

Production of the last 14 days. Open a facility for its instruments, operations log and sources.
Four metropolitan areas, eleven cities by 2200 in the InterImm book. The facilities sit in six of them.
Each facility is a process model written for Homeostat: control loops, instruments with noise, lag and drift, a production plan, wear, maintenance and random faults. The sizes and yields come from real engineering: Sabatier stoichiometry, electrolysis at about 53 kWh per kilogram of hydrogen, MOXIE, HYBRIT, the South Pole Rodwell, NASA crop chambers. Every facility page lists its sources.
The plants run on a clock: a GitHub Actions workflow advances each one to the present every hour and publishes the readings as plain CSV and JSON. Nothing runs on a server. The history is deterministic, so anyone can rerun a facility from its scenario file and get the same numbers.
The clock is set in the story of the InterImm book: the present is 2219, the year the Interplanetary Immigration Agency starts terraforming Mars on its own. Every date on this site is real time moved forward by 193 years, so today here falls on the same day of the year in 2219, give or take a day around leap years.
