Surviving Mars #2 — Colonists and Multiple Domes
24In this episode we tackle the last two tutorial missions: Colonists and Multiple Domes.
We finally get to prepare some living space for human colonists! The domes are nice, but hardly enough, people need proper housing to live in. And with that built, we get to select the colonists we want in our colony! Actually a great feature, you can reject any ones with undesirable traits, pick only ones with positive traits, with specializations you need, and so on. Another example of how much control this game gives you!
People need food, of course, so we also build a hydroponic farm and a... grocer. See, colonists don't like getting food straight from the farm, they need a grocery shopping experience to stay happy, for... some reason? One would think, that food would just be delivered to their doorstep by drones, but oh well. Colonists also want a bar. Because of course they do.
Then we learn about managing jobs. Every building can work in up to three shifts, and each shift has to be staffed. Colonists working in their specialization get bonuses, colonists working in the wrong specialization get debuffs. Simple, easy, powerful system. At the end of this mission, we also do some research in a new lab.
In the next tutorial mission, we build a shuttle hub that can connect domes that are far away from one another. Long-distance public transportation, you could say. We also build a rare metal extractor.
Then we filter the inhabitants. Another powerful feature that gives you a lot of control over the colony. We want to encourage scientists to live in the research dome, and discourage geologists from living there, and vice versa for the mining dome. We build another dome, which we fill with basic housing and services, then connect it to the neighbouring one with passages. Lastly, we research a rare metal extractor upgrade, and apply it.
That's all, folks! That's the tutorial! In the next episode we will tackle actual missions!

Colonize Mars and discover her secrets, with minimal casualties.
Welcome Home! The time has come to stake your claim on the Red Planet and build the first functioning human colonies on Mars! All you need are supplies, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms, and a can-do attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!
Surviving Mars is a sci-fi city builder all about colonizing Mars and surviving the process. Choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for your colony. Build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand your settlement. Cultivate your own food, mine minerals or just relax by the bar after a hard day’s work. Most important of all, though, is keeping your colonists alive. Not an easy task on a strange new planet.
There will be challenges to overcome. Execute your strategy and improve your colony’s chances of survival while unlocking the mysteries of this alien world. Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.
MAIN FEATURES
* Building a sustainable colony in space *
Building on a planet not fit for human life challenges you to build a smart, functional colony. Bad planning isn’t about traffic jams, it’s about survival of your colonists. You really don’t want rolling blackouts in a city constructed in a place without oxygen.
* Individually simulated colonists *
Each colonist is a unique individual with problems and strengths that influence the needs and behavior of the other colonists. Things can get really interesting if your chief scientists develops alcoholism after one too many long nights in the lab.
* Futuristic Space Dome construction *
Retro-futuristic super structures housing colonists, factories and commercial buildings with their own “neighborhood personality.” Create colonies that value science over everything else, while tired workers drink their pay away at a local bar, or attempt a utopia among the stars.
* Exploration of Mars’ secrets *
Inspired by the classic sci-fi of Asimov and Clarke, Surviving Mars holds many secrets. During each playthrough players may encounter one of Mars’ individually crafted mysteries. Uncovering these secrets might bring your colony great fortune, or terrible ruin. What is that sphere that manifested itself outside colony HUB B, and is it friendly?
* Randomized research tree *
Combine static and random research through experimentation, which allows for a different experience for each journey through the game. Attain new scientific breakthroughs by exploring the uncharted terrain of Mars's surface.
