So what should be the first building you have your intrepid pioneers work on. A polymer factory? That seems to be my bottle neck more often than not, since I think it’s the first thing that you “need” which isn’t available on the Martian surface... but it always seems a toss up between that or a reliable source of metal. What do they do in the streams with the founders/next 12 colonists?

I don’t know if it is better than a grocer, but I like to think about the grumbling scientist with two PhDs from MIT who lands on the red planet and finds out that they are going to be the first bus boy on mars.

The hint about putting supply depots near areas where drones overlap is a great suggestion. Right now my Martian colony is doing the tried and true “throw poo poo to the wall and see what sticks” method of colonial development, but hopefully in my next game I’ll actually think out how I want my colony to grow better. Also, does anyone know how much money you get per rare metal received by earth? My colony can now finally mine them, so I’m looking forward to exporting “something” in the near future.

I kind of like setting up a super efficient colonial base more than when the colonists arrive and the game truly starts. If only Space Y would let me be the VP of space logistics instead of a big deal colonial official...

Rookersh posted:Europe and Blue Sun seem like the best two starts for real games. ( I don't count Mars Mission which is a tutorial. ). I’ve been playing as the USA because I like the safety net of having period cash infusions, but I agree that Blue Sun is probably the better outfit to go with. Especially once you’re good enough to not be over-building at the start of the game :/
