I quite enjoy playing Surviving Mars and it looks great, but whenever I read any discussion about colony planning I get reminded that many of the various techs, buildings, and sponsor abilities are basically superfluous and I lose interest for a while. Whether it's Fungal Farms, RC Dozers, or Plasma Rockets, there's a lot of stuff in this game that seems cool but really isn't useful. I hope that the game gets some rebalancing in the future.

Wafflecopper posted:I wouldn’t hold my breath, the game has been out a long time now and I’d be very surprised to see a balance patch at this point Yeah I'm sure you're right on that account. There's been chatter about further development of it, but even then Paradox games rarely spend much dev time on balance patches.

Seek out a landing zone near water and concrete. Set up basic power and fuel infrastructure based on either solar or wind depending on altitude. Build sensor stations to scan the immediate surroundings, and collect surface minerals. Once you have a good sense of your surroundings, create a rare metal mining / science outpost, relying on imported food. Once it is filled with colonists, build a metal mining / science outpost. The hub of your colony will be between these two sites. Create a manufacturing dome near your central starport, and otherwise chain together standard domes as needed. Supplement your infrastructure with Stirling Generators and Moisture Vaporators. Once you have farms, build agricultural domes near a source of water and connect them to your central colony (via a tunnel if needed). As the population grows, set aside domes for education and retirement.

I think basically what people want is the sense of connecting the settlements into an overall colony. Often the domes end up feeling very disparate, like a bunch of little homesteads. Connecting all the power and water networks generally ends up being more trouble than it's worth. I want to make Mars look like it does in the Expanse. Help me do that Paradox. https://www.humanmars.net/2019/12/martian-colonies-in-season-4-of-expanse.html?m=1
