For our first paid DLC, we wanted to present a new mechanic, new buildings, new techs, new achievements, and new ways to terraform Mars.
Can you imagine a better way than allowing AMI to take command and sail the High Seas of Mars?
Blue Mars is fully compatible with previous savegames, so you can unleash the maritime terraformation at any point in your current playthrough, or you can start a new one too!

Ad Astra!

You will now be able to access water-based research sites and resource veins. Gathering more resources never has been easier! Build an Offshore Drilling Platform and top off your Storage! Of course, you'll need a little help to get the Resources to build the Platforms to the middle of the Ocean but AMI has the perfect helper.



Meet the Drone's cousing, the Barge!
This bad boy can navigate the Oceans of Mars like no one else! We are you you will make fast friends with them. We are also adding Ports and Shipyards to the game. They are used to connect your land- and ocean-networks and build more barges respectively.

Hypertubes? I hardly knew ye! Barges open up new ways for you to transport previously dormant resources around to where they are needed most.


Accompanying the Release of Blue Mars is a Patch for the base version of Per Aspera with some general Game Improvements and additional polishing for the Multiplayer Mode. You can find more Information here:
