The year is 2033. You, an ex-Marine with little opportunities left, have signed up with Utopia Arura, a large mining corporation on Mars. They have sent you to a location they have proposed but you have chosen for mining. Everything else is up to you.

Mining outpost on Mars

Operate a mining outpost on Mars. You start out with a small base station where you can earn credits (the currency on Mars in 2033) by mining rocks around the station that contain valuable ore. When you have earned enough credits, you can purchase a rover. You can now drive around and mine rocks that are farther out. You can upgrade the station, etc. Later in the game, you can also earn credits from trading and operating mining rigs.

Mine rocks

The first part of the game is about mining rocks for ore. Explore the area around the station, and you will find rocks that contain valuable ore. Mine the ore and bring it back to the station.

Rover

When you have made enough credits from mining rocks, you will be able to get a rover vehicle. We recommend getting a rover vehicle as soon as you can because it enables you to drive out and search for rocks to mine farther away from the base.

Rua 51 underground mining facility

Solar flares can cause high radiation levels on the surface of Mars because the atmosphere is thin. Stay at the Rua 51 underground mining facility when the radiation levels are too high on the surface.

Sell ore & buy equipment, repairs, etc.

You can sell the ore that you mine using the management user interface inside the station. Just click the "sell ore" button and you will sell one unit of your ore inventory at the current market price and earn credits. You can use the credits to buy equipment, repairs, etc.

Mining rigs

You can buy mining rigs when you have a enough credits. Mining rigs provide a steady income from mining ore in nearby mountain formations with valuable ore.

Marketplace

You can buy and sell ore in the marketplace when the station has been upgraded. Prices in the marketplace fluctuate, so it is possible to make or loose credits.

Dust storms

Dust storms can happen at any time on Mars. Dust storms are dangerous because they can be disorienting and affect communication. You can run out of oxygen if you get lost in a storm.

Chill out on Mars

Enjoy hours of gameplay in solitude on Mars, mining for ore, operating your base station, driving your rover, etc. This may be a good game for you if you like space games and are tired of all those action-packed shooting games.

Utopia Planitia

The game is set somewhere in Utopia Planitia on Mars. Utopia Planitia (Greek and Latin: "Nowhere Land Plain") is a large plain within Utopia, the largest recognized impact basin on Mars and in the Solar System with an estimated diameter of 3,300 km. Plenty of space and opportunities for anyone who wishes to try ones luck as a prospector.
