Writing contemporary fiction: “She made chicken parm for dinner.” Done.
Writing sci-fi: “She made..." But does she even cook, or do they eat communally on Mars? What grows well hydroponically? What are the limits of what you can do with cricket protein...?

Spent way too much time designing my Mars colony today—just me, some shapes in Canva, and the crushing realization that city planning is hard.
Here’s a general layout of the colony’s living quarters + an exploded view of one sector for a closer look. Ready for Mars! #scifi #worldbuilding
