The team studied the real-world challenges that scientists consider when thinking about colonizing Mars. Haemimont Games, the developer of the Tropico series, initially led the game's development. Landing sites also have various natural disasters like dust storms, meteor storms, cold waves, and dust devils to increase difficulty. Rare metals can be exported back to Earth for funds. The game also has storylines called mysteries, which add various events to the colony, including plagues, war, rival corporations, AI revolt, alien contact, and others. Through the 5 fields of research (Physics, Engineering, Social, Biotechnology, Robotics), players can unlock technologies that will eventually lead them to different wonders. Players must balance expanding the colony by managing oxygen, food, water, electricity and replacement parts while progressing through unlocking technologies by researches. After successfully creating and managing for basic resources on Mars, players can have the option to progress by building domes suitable for human life and advanced resources production. The player can bring electronics, machine parts, food, concrete, metal, prefab (pre-fabricated) buildings, rovers and drones from Earth, or research technologies to manufacture them on Mars. For example, the first human colonists will bring limited food with them on their rocket, so farms are crucial to a thriving colony on Mars. The player's goal is to create a thriving colony on Mars with occasional rockets from Earth, which have limited cargo or passenger space, forcing the player to balance paying to import resources from Earth and producing resources on the planet. These rovers and drones prepare the colony for humans on the red planet by setting up power and water infrastructure, domes, resource depots, oxygen generators, and landing pads. The player chooses a sponsoring nation, each conferring slightly different benefits and a unique building and vehicle, and then lands on Mars with robotic drones and rovers. Surviving Mars is a city-building survival game that takes place on Mars and is modeled after real Martian data. A spiritual successor, Surviving the Aftermath, was released in 2021. The player serves as an overseer who must build a colony on Mars and ensure the survival of the colonists.
It was released on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 15, 2018. Shuttle A modern airborne vehicle for shuttling colonists and items across the planet.Surviving Mars is a city building survival video game initially developed by the Bulgarian studio Haemimont Games, and later by Abstraction Games, and published by Paradox Interactive. RC Explorer A special rover equipped for detecting and analyzing anomalies. RC Transport A rover designed for transporting goods.
They are tasked with distributing resources, gathering resources from surface deposits, building and maintaining structures as well as repairing damaged structures and vehicles. Types Drone Drones are the backbone of the Martian colony's work force. Other types of vehicles are manually operated and controlled remotely, with their range dictated by the batteries they carry. They may do so only at RC Rover and Charging Stations which in turn can be built individually or are found attached to Drone Hubs.
They are tasked with distributing resources, gathering resources from surface deposits, building and maintaining structures as well as repairing damaged structures and vehicles.Įach base has a service area (the radius of which can be adjusted), which is the area where the drones attached to the base will autonomously construct/repair/maintain buildings, carry resources between production buildings and cargo bays and, in the absence of any other things to do, gather resources from the surface of the planet.ĭrones run on batteries and need to charge up frequently. These automated robots harvest resources and manufacture infrastructure and Space Dome facilities for colonial habitation, allow you to transport goods, explore anomalies, and shuttle colonists around.īuilt to be resilient against most of what the Martian environment can throw at them, the arch-enemy of all man-made technology on Mars, dust, will eventually incapacitate vehicles if not cleaned regularly.ĭrones can be operated from a Rocket, a rover or a fixed Drone Hub, with each drone being assigned to one of these three possible bases. Drones and RC vehicles are the basic workers of your colony.
