Mars

Mars is the planet where the game is set. This is where you will be building a colony using supplies sent from Earth in rockets. During the start you will be extremely dependent on Earth, but after a while you can declare independence, which ceases all rocket launches and gives you 2 Colonists every 100 Sols. You can then turn them into Astronauts at the Launch Pad.

You can locate resources spread around the map, which can be used in many different areas of development, with the most prominent usually being Methane, as it allows you to remove Landers and transport rockets from Mars, allowing for a larger building area.
