RC Explorer A special rover equipped for detecting and analyzing anomalies. RC Transport A rover designed for transporting goods. They are tasked with distributing resources, gathering resources from surface deposits, building and maintaining structures as well as repairing damaged structures and vehicles. Types Drone Drones are the backbone of the Martian colony's work force.

Other types of vehicles are manually operated and controlled remotely, with their range dictated by the batteries they carry. They may do so only at RC Rover and Charging Stations which in turn can be built individually or are found attached to Drone Hubs. Players mine resources (e.g., fuel, rare metals, water), build dome structures, and manage inhabitants' needs along the way. They are tasked with distributing resources, gathering resources from surface deposits, building and maintaining structures as well as repairing damaged structures and vehicles.Įach base has a service area (the radius of which can be adjusted), which is the area where the drones attached to the base will autonomously construct/repair/maintain buildings, carry resources between production buildings and cargo bays and, in the absence of any other things to do, gather resources from the surface of the planet.ĭrones run on batteries and need to charge up frequently. Parents need to know that Surviving Mars is a downloadable strategy/management game in which players build and manage resources for a colony on Mars. These automated robots harvest resources and manufacture infrastructure and Space Dome facilities for colonial habitation, allow you to transport goods, explore anomalies, and shuttle colonists around.īuilt to be resilient against most of what the Martian environment can throw at them, the arch-enemy of all man-made technology on Mars, dust, will eventually incapacitate vehicles if not cleaned regularly.ĭrones can be operated from a Rocket, a rover or a fixed Drone Hub, with each drone being assigned to one of these three possible bases.

Drones and RC vehicles are the basic workers of your colony.
