Yes, and again we're talking about the high arctic Inuit, one of the most historically self-sufficient groups out there. Like most other people on the planet, they don't produce a lot of microchips, but they've spent the past millennia or so producing everything else they needed out of what was available in the local environment.

The Inuit are self-sustaining by the standards of humans living on Earth, but they are in fact dependent on a huge, globe-spanning ecosystem for all of their food. Even disregarding the problems of high-tech required on Mars, they are not self-sustaining in the sense we were discussing here - they wouldn't be able to survive if the rest of the earth were barren.

But of a shot in the dark here but anyone know of good sci fi books from the perspective of someone colonizing another planet after their original plant died and humanity not having sufficient resources to maintain earth’s development rate?

Or, that sort of area.

This isn't exactly that, but there's https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451116534 for struggling colonies in space.
