Brazil, due to it having a larger supply pod variant, benefits more from this.Paradox Interactive announced today that development has resumed on Surviving Mars, and a new update is coming.ĭevelopment is now under Abstraction, and the next update to Surviving Mars will include an In-Dome Buildings pack and a free Tourism Update. They are also good in case you run out of an essential resource like Food or Machine Parts during a storm because, unlike rockets, a pod can land in a dust storm. They also allow you to send supplies to outposts that lack fuel production without worrying about relaunching them, although if you are using the International Mars Mission sponsor or have the shuttle system up and running neither of the above is a concern. Since they are not refuel-able if you use more of them fuel consumption can be limited. They are extremely useful during the early game whenever you need a new prefab or more drones. Because of this The pods are actually a far less significant expense than it first appears and this means that depending on the circumstances the pod is either completely funding efficient or a minimal loss. The supply pod allows you to send 10,000 Kg of supplies or prefabs for a cost of 100 million funds to launch, When it lands you can scrap it for 5 Metal, which depending on whether the event that raises importing costs has occurred, is worth either 50 or 100 million. The rockets provided by the International Mars Mission sponsor slowly generate their own Fuel while landed on Mars.įrom the above, assuming a single refinery, the number of sol required to refuel a single rocket:

Fuel Refineries will normally produce 12 Fuel per sol, or 15 with the Oligarch commander profile. Having the Paradox sponsor will cause a default of 80 Fuel, with Martian Engines reducing it to 60. Rockets require 50 Fuel to resupply, with the Martian Engines technology reducing it to 30. Multiple rockets are supplied in order of priority, then evenly otherwise. Rockets are resupplied using Fuel, drones will automatically stock up the rocket from available storage depots. As they only traverse the orbit of Mars, they require half as much Fuel. In Space Race, Rockets can be sent to deliver resources to a Rival Colony. Curetatoes can also be exported for 200M funds if the Wildfire Mystery was resolved. Each unit of Rare Metals sent to Earth will bring Funds depending on the chosen sponsor. Rockets will always attempt to load Rare Metals unless explicitly forbidden.
#Surviving mars build order upgrade#
The upgrade increases the cargo capacity to 150,000 but requires an additional 20 Fuel to launch. They can carry up to 22 colonists and 80,000 kg of payload that can be edited and by default it will include enough Fuel for a return trip.Īsteroid Landers can be upgraded with an Extended Cargo Module at the cost of 5 Metals and 3 Machine Parts if the technology with the same name is researched. Asteroid Landers require 35 Fuel to launch and cannot be sent back to Earth. They can be bought at the cost of 1000 Funding if the Micro-G Landers technology is researched, or constructed if the Advanced Rocketry technology is researched. If the Space Race DLC is installed, then spacecraft will come in 3 different classes, each available to different sponsors.Ī rocket can be built for 150 metals, 25 electronics and 50 machine parts once the Advanced Rocketry technology is researched.Īvailable only with the Below and Beyond DLC enabled.Īsteroid Landers are an experimental class of rockets that can land on asteroids. Once they orbit, they can support colonists for 5 days if accommodation hasn't been completed. If applicants are transported, the spacecraft will bring 1 food per occupant, or 10 if the sponsor is International Mars Mission. Spacecraft come in two varieties: Rockets and Supply Pods.
