Have a Plan in Mind for Your Domes
Surviving Mars: Tips and Tricks For Beginners
Just like your overall colony, on a more micro level, you need to make sure you’re planning out your individual domes too. Think very hard about where you’re putting them, especially if you’re trying to make it more of a mining dome. But just as important, is making sure that you’re carefully reviewing and bringing up the right people to fill out the vacant work positions. Don’t bring a bunch of botanists if you don’t even have any farms set up. If you have a nearby mining outpost, make sure that you’re recruiting geologists, so that way everyone is working as efficiently as possible.
If you put people in a job they don’t want, they will take a huge hit to their productivity. So, make sure that your dome is set up with buildings before they get there, check what the best colonists to run each building are, and then review and recruit the right people for the job. Know that your first dome is going to be dedicated to producing food and/or will be mining and your next dome is going to be about research, etc, etc. Always be thinking two steps ahead in Surviving Mars.
