Hello Mars Survivors! 👋


Another day on harsh plains of the Red Planet, another devlog with a new wave of information that will help in your survival.
This time we have plenty of new tools to show you, which will greatly improve your chances in this uninhabitable space! Using what you have at hand and adapting is a vital point of changing Mars into your home! 🛠️

Minimap 🗺️


We’ve added a minimap to the game! Now you can see your current position, your base, all discovered resource deposits, and any active quests at a glance. The minimap makes it easier to navigate Mars quickly and plan your next expansion moves. Decide what is your next step on the Red Planet!

Resource Nodes ⛏️


Resource nodes are essential for base development and survival on Mars. You'll mine regolith rich in useful elements, glaciers for water, and other deposits to gather raw materials needed to build structures, craft equipment, and avoid running out of vital supplies. Without these resources, expanding your base and staying alive becomes impossible!

Drones 🤖


Not everything can be done with your own two hands, that is why we decided to add mining and transportation drones! When you find nodes of regolith, you can use mining drones to extract the required materials, and then use the transportation drones to move the resources between your buildings, creating your own processing line!

Production 🏭


After gathering the resources you will have to process them into useful metals and then parts that you will make your base and equipment from! We added plenty of production buildings that help you process materials efficiently to ensure your survival on Mars.

Mars is unforgiving, but with these new tools at your disposal, your survival chances just got a major boost. Whether you’re plotting your next expansion on the minimap, extracting resources from icy glaciers, or automating your base with drones, the Red Planet is now more alive—and more dangerous—than ever. 🌌

Keep exploring, keep expanding, and remember: every step you take on Mars matters. We can’t wait to see how you’ll survive and thrive in the harshest environments! 👨‍🚀
