Experience city building on a planetary scale: build humanity's new home on Mars



Welcome to humanity's new home: Mars, the red planet. There’s not much there yet… but that’s exactly where you come in. Begin the terraforming journey yourself this weekend -- download our free, new and improved planet building demo during the Steam Game Festival.

This demo is a small taste of the full game -- it focuses on the early stages of our planet building and resource management simulation. We hope you have fun exploring Mars! If you have the time, we would appreciate any and all feedback you may have: please consider filling out our demo feedback form! We've taken feedback from our Gamescom players and created a new and improved demo featuring a new, welcoming UI, tooltips, improved balance, and more!


[h2]BUILD A NEW CIVILIZATION THAT SPANS THE RED PLANET[/h2]



From humble beginnings comes greatness. Explore a new frontier: the entire planet of Mars is yours! Grow your humble landing site and worker drone into a planet-wide urban sprawl and veritable legion of workers. With the planet as your canvas, the possibilities are endless. Experience a building simulator at a massive scale like never before.

[h2]THE PERFECT BLEND OF HARD SCIENCE FICTION AND SIMULATION[/h2]



Bask in the wonders of the red planet. Ascend the peak of the staggering Olympus Mons, dive into the depths of the Capri Chasma, or meet old rover friends like Viking1 or Pathfinder. Mars has been faithfully recreated for you, by using geographical maps straight from NASA. Transform the dusty Red planet into a lush, verdant paradise by terraforming the planet's with bleeding edge scientific theories.

[h2]ACQUIRE AND REFINE RESOURCES[/h2]

The demo focuses on the first stage of terraforming: exploration, mining, refining, and expansion. In the final game, you’ll build a fleet of workers to serve your prime directive. In the beginning, you’ll have just the one. Use your faithful worker to build your first mine, factory, and solar farm. Once your mine is complete, your worker will begin stockpiling the resource. As your operation grows, you’ll refine your unprocessed minerals into resources that help your colony inch towards paradise such as steel, glass, silicon, and more!

[h2]EXPAND YOUR COLONY AND BALANCE YOUR NEEDS[/h2]

Once your landing site has been properly surveyed and built up, you’ll need to expand! Find new resources with an Areological Scanner. Once you discover new veins and resources, it’ll be time to send out a worker. Eventually, you’ll need to expand your reach by building an additional Worker Hub or perhaps even an extra worker.

Keep an eye on your buildings’ power consumption, maintenance needs, and colony’s resource stockpile. Resources and buildings don’t last forever. Your units will require constant care, attention, and adaptation to survive the rugged environment.
