Grind This Game
I start a new base in Surviving Mars to explore the Artificial Intelligence Mystery.
In this episode:
I get the basics of the base set up and build the first dome. I waited for the medium dome because the small one is a bit cramped. I’m using Sterling generators where I can afford it because they require zero maintenance.
One update to the game has been that when you power off a building now it no longer gets maintained! I’m glad they fixed this. They also nerfed martian copyrights so getting money for research gets worse each time you repeat it.

Game description from the developer:
Surviving Mars is a sci-fi settlement 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.
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.

yes its back! I love this game
You can open your Stirling generators if you need extra power until you get it sorted.
More!
Open the stirlings
keep it coming, looking forward for more episodes
No offense, but i like this more than 535% difficulty keep it up dude✌
This game is so damn addictive…
Was game free?Also,rockets look like sharks!XD
There are some good mods coming out already that you should check out like autoexplore rover and autogather transport rover they add toggle features that make transport rovers automatically gather surface deposits and exploration rovers automatically scan anomalies as they are discovered they both also charge their batteries when needed
All you need to do in a power shortage is open the stirling generators!!!!
Not turning on everything and testing it first !!! Terrible engineering!!! Always run tests before hand!!!
Use Stirlings in the DOMES!!! no waste of cables!!!
Open those darn stirlings !!!! You put the moxie close but not the Stirlings in the DOME!!!
The rush to bring people I find to be the single biggest mistake. Your waiting to build the medium Dome was smart. Wait and buid the infrastructure within the Dome first and bring a supply of enough maintance resources before people.
Turning off things is fine but they all need to be working before you land.
Also you should build your prefab buildings and energy test them as well. The first arrivals comfort is important. Avoid night shift.
You can lay out your planned buildings on pause before the rocket even lands. Don't lose any daylight, don't land the rocket where you need to build, less down time for drones.
Surface metal can be collected by transports. It doesn't need to be put in depots first.
Big mistake in 26:12. You lost all of your research for transport optimization by canceling it. If you want a tec first use CTRL-Left so the tec goes to the first spot, but you don't lose the research for the previously tec.
I think Tech build is way over power.
The extractors only spew dust for like 5 spaces, you can see the build up on the power cables. Supposedly, single space power points never develop power leaks requiring maintenance; so, if you need extended power lines, your best bet is to alternate power production and storage buildings with power points to draw your power lines.
i know i probably sound like a noob but what do anomalies do
Finally got myself a 44n112w map with Positronic Brain, Nano Refinement, Extractor AI, and Alien Imprints 😛 Don't ask how long it took though lmao. Time for a mega colony!
Nice job so far GTG, looking forward to seeing more of the series mate. I’m loving this game atm.
Love your playthroughs ! Lots to learn !
Btw the free earth radio channel is pretty nice. Check it out
Хорошая игра, не жалко потраченного времени. Проходил за Россию – было тяжеловато.
I like taking the "rocket scientist" who gives you shuttles from the get go, which makes you able to expand anytime you want easilly
Meteors are awesome, they give metal and reveal anomalies, i don't even set up meteor defenses to get as much free resources as possible
Who else but me was facepalming at dome placement? You could have brought in the good rare metal spot, if you placed the dome where your depots are…. You only need to have the extractor inside dome sphere of influence. Thank You for awesome playthroughs, I'm learning new stuff every time! 🙂
You got the 10% reduction in research cost for the robotics line. They're great, especially on the later research costs. There is probably one for each line. I've gotten one for robotics and engineering in the same game.
Stop relying on Sterling generators you idiot
The transport truck rover can take the excess fuel off the rockets. Please don't squander 20 fuel again… It can take things off the rocket, but can not put things on the rocket…
It dosent help to yell we dont hear the music if You are yelling.
Did you know you can put the Sterling generators inside domes…
I watched the episode for 1 hour and i stop it cause ur early gameplay is so bad dude. You already grind the game and i cant watch what you have done there. I mean there is a reason why you should build a small dome first Imao etc… xDgg
