Thinking this might have an impact on any plans to build future habitats underground?

I don’t think so, I’m my opinion.
In general, underground structures are safer than structures above ground due to inertial forces.
Also, the primary reason for going underground on Mars is to try and protect against radiation. While solutions for surface level structures have been proposed to try and mitigate this problem, the costs and level of efforts associated with them make us lean more towards underground being the preferred approach initially.
But this data should be very valuable for teams to figure out where exactly to build. Most epicenters of these marsquakes occur in one general region.

I was thinking about that, but not even just underground, it’s effects on above ground habitation too. Would suck to constantly have quakes that could damage essential structures and put everybody at risk so often.

Nah, if anything it’s just informing the decisions they make to make sure that the underground shelters can handle this sort of geology

Good, now we can focus on fixing THIS planet

What if I told you that you can go to Mars AND improve this planet? They aren’t mutually exclusive.
