687 Days on Mars News

[h2]Hello Mars Survivors! 👋[/h2]
Another day on harsh plains of the Red Planet, another devlog with a new wave of information that will help in your survival.
This time we have plenty of new tools to show you, which will greatly improve your chances in this uninhabitable space! Using what you have at hand and adapting is a vital point of changing Mars into your home! 🛠️

[h3]Minimap 🗺️[/h3]
We’ve added a minimap to the game! Now you can see your current position, your base, all discovered resource deposits, and any active quests at a glance. The minimap makes it easier to navigate Mars quickly and plan your next expansion moves. Decide what is your next step on the Red Planet!

[h3]Resource Nodes ⛏️[/h3]
Resource nodes are essential for base development and survival on Mars. You'll mine regolith rich in useful elements, glaciers for water, and other deposits to gather raw materials needed to build structures, craft equipment, and avoid running out of vital supplies. Without these resources, expanding your base and staying alive becomes impossible!

[h3]Drones 🤖[/h3]
Not everything can be done with your own two hands, that is why we decided to add mining and transportation drones! When you find nodes of regolith, you can use mining drones to extract the required materials, and then use the transportation drones to move the resources between your buildings, creating your own processing line!

[h3]Production 🏭[/h3]
After gathering the resources you will have to process them into useful metals and then parts that you will make your base and equipment from! We added plenty of production buildings that help you process materials efficiently to ensure your survival on Mars.


Mars is unforgiving, but with these new tools at your disposal, your survival chances just got a major boost. Whether you’re plotting your next expansion on the minimap, extracting resources from icy glaciers, or automating your base with drones, the Red Planet is now more alive—and more dangerous—than ever. 🌌

Keep exploring, keep expanding, and remember: every step you take on Mars matters. We can’t wait to see how you’ll survive and thrive in the harshest environments! 👨‍🚀

[h2]Hello there fresh Martians!👋 [/h2]

Today we are coming with another devlog, this time something more stable and homely, like BASE BUILDING!

The most important part of the game, your base. A place that gives you shelter from the violent atmosphere of Mars, storage for everything you find, place where you grow plants and refresh your equipment. 🌌

Everything you do is in some way connected to the base and it is something that will be an important part of your journey not only mechanically, but with the ongoing narrative. 🏠





That is why we implemented base building based on segments, allowing you to build the base in any way you want. Express yourself, find the most efficient layout, preferably with a nice view! 🪟




The inside of the base will fully be changeable. Almost every part of the base is something you can set up yourself, from beds and recharging stations to hydroponics and kitchen. Everything is up to you, each part of survival yours to decide and you will have options to make your base as efficient with layout as possible.They may not seem significant but each micro decision takes a role in this survival! 🧑‍🚀



For now this is all for today but much more will be coming in 2026, along with the January livestream where you will see the team working on the game! Thank you for reading! 🔥

[h2]It's been over a month since the release of the Demo version of 687 Days on Mars and the first thing we want to say is..[/h2]


[h3] Over 20 000 people played the demo which is a staggering number! 🥳[/h3]

The support means more than anything, and this is just another boost for us to work on a game you dream of, knowing how many of you enjoyed the struggles of survival on an inhospitable planet! 🚀

Each of your experiences helped us immensely in knowing what you enjoy, what should be the focus, what works great and what we have to improve. All the feedback you gave us paved us a way to work more clearly than ever before! 👩‍🚀

[h3]Showing our work! 🤝 [/h3]

The game is for you and we want you to be as close as possible, to see what we're working and what is coming. To have your own voice that matters while we're making the game and decide on changes.
Having players be in active parts of development is crucial for us, to know what actually can make this game about survival fun, challenging and fair, instead of just tedious.

[h3]That is why we would like you to show some parts of our developments on livestreams! [/h3]
To see how we work, to see how we piece everything together, to share our passion with you. But to also show you what we are preparing for you in the future and join us on this ride in some capacity. You would be able to ask questions, talk with devs on livestream chat, and know more from behind the scenes than ever. 🌌
[h3]If you would like this idea, feel free to share what you think in the comments under this post or on our official discord! 💬[/h3]
