Don’t Forget Your Rovers Exist
Surviving Mars: Tips and Tricks For Beginners
While your drones do all the work, your rovers are important too. It is easy when you’re just starting out to forget that they even exist in fact. Unless you tell them to do something, they won’t. They will just sit there, outside of your first rocket forever until you give them some orders.
Use the RC drone commander to pack up drones that aren’t doing anything and move them away from your first rocket and build something a little further away until you can set up something more permanent there. Getting something going is better than having drones sitting around bored.
The transport rover has a ton of space to move resources around and can be programmed to set up a permanent supply route between two distant points. When your colony starts to become really big, this because essential.
Finally, use your analyzing rover to make sure that any anomalies you come across get researched right away. Anomalies could be nothing, but they could also be shortcuts to breakthroughs and other huge advantages.
