Surviving Mars

***Surviving Mars*** is a sci-fi settlement builder all about colonizing Mars and surviving the process. Players choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for their colony. They can build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities, and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand their settlement.

Players cultivate their own food, mine minerals, or just relax by the bar after a hard day’s work. Most important of all, though, is keeping colonists alive. Not an easy task on a strange new planet.

There will be challenges to overcome. Execute strategies and improve a colony’s chances of survival while unlocking the mysteries of this alien world.

## Features

Building a sustainable colony in space
Building on a planet not fit for human life challenges players to build a smart, functional colony. Bad planning isn’t about traffic jams, it’s about survival of colonists. Rolling blackouts in a city constructed in a place without oxygen could spell doom.

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 chief scientists develop 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 a 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.

Unique retro-futuristic aesthetic
A sleek, modern take on the bright futurism of the 1960s. A time of exploration and adventure.

Expansive mod support
Craft fantastic buildings, parks, or even a mystery to share through *Surviving Mars’s* extensive and convenient modding tools. Share creations with the community to build the perfect society.
