Tharsis republic can be OP in 5-player games but I'd argue it will be less useful in 2p and useless in solo.

I wouldn't go so far as to calling it useless in solo. It's just very situational. I would go for if I have a strong set of steel, energy and city cards from the beginning, plus maybe something to get the heat going since it'll take a while for the city income to really get going. And then some good luck is needed with plant production, since those cities are rather pointless without greeneries. It's not the most likely route to victory but it has some potential to give a decent score.
