Surviving Mars #6 — Mining Domes and Meteor Showers
50Our mining dome is under construction, a new colonist is born for the first time on the Red Planet which gives us free supply drops, and we get to test some prototype rocket engines! Everything is looking just peachy!
The dome is built, so is the metal extractor, now we need to hire some geologists and send them to that dome. The filtering system per-dome is great for this purpose. We have no shuttles yet, so they'll have to make do, but it shouldn't be much of an issue. And with the new dome furnished with a living complex, we can even afford to bring in more colonists!
It's also a prime spot for machine parts factory, so why not place it there as well?
Then we get a notification about a meteor storm... that we caused ourselves by sending the expedition. Yep, that's right. That's what this expedition does. Thankfully it misses our colony and leaves some metal deposits and anomalies behind, so it's a net positive.
In case it does become a problem in the future, though, let's build an infirmary. And learn how to terraform the landscape and create a slope so we can get on top of that plateau in the first place. Can't make use of the anomalies and metals if we can't get up there after all.
Electricity can be an issue in the near future, since the machine part factory uses a metric ton of it, more than anything else we have here. Or it would've been an issue, if we hadn't discovered that opening Stirling generators doubles their power output at the cost of some dust buildup. Bring the dust, I say!
We grab another shipment of colonists, and install a nice garden in the mining dome... which promptly gets torn down to make space for an electronics factory. I'm sorry, people of Mars, but it's more important.
Soon after, the first colonist dies of natural causes. I'm sure it's just correlation and not causation.

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.
