Surviving Mars: Campaign: 2020-04-07

Main article: Surviving Mars

Goals

Initial settings

• Japan
• City Mayo
• Metatron
• Rivals:
  1. China
  2. Blue Sun Corporation
  3. Church of the New Ark
• Location: 45S6W

Goals

• I'll go for an early triangle dome and wind turbines. The lower energy cost will be handy early on when there is a lack of resources.
• I will then build a basic dome shortly after and move everybody there. I will need the space to fit in the Machine Part Factory.
• The original triangle dome will be fit a children only dome.

Needs

Polymer:

• 5 for 1 Hydroponic and 1 Power Accumulator.
• 10 for a Basic Dome

Electronics:

• 10 for 10 Sensor Tower
• 5 for research lab

Machine Parts:

• 8 for 4 Concrete Extractor
• 10 for 2 Automated Metals Extractor
• 4 for 2 Water Extractors
• 5 for 1 Polymer Factory
• 10 for 2 Fuel Refinery
• 20 for 20 wind turbines.

total 57+ Machine Parts.

Initial Payload

I have Polymer Factory and Fuel Refinery as the first tech in Engineering, so I don't need to bring those.

First rocket:

• 6 RC Commander
• 1 RC Explorer
• 1 RC Transport
• 10 Electronics - 10 Sensor Tower give the best bonus. And I need 6 of them early in order to get the 15 drone bonus.
• 15 Machine Parts - 8 required for 4 early Concrete Extractor. Rest for wind turbines.
• 0 Polymers - no early Power Accumulator, will bring polymers with a pod.

First pod:

• Machine Parts Factory

Second pod:

• 2 Moisture Vaporator - To enable the dome to start early.

Third pod:

• 5 Electronics - 5 for Research lab.
• 15 Polymers - 10 needed for an early Basic Dome, 2 for a Power Accumulator. 2 for a Hydroponic. 1 for maintenance of the Power Accumulator.
• 5 Machine Parts There is going to be a lot of Machine Parts needed.

Fourth pod:

• 25 Machine Parts This will total 45 Machine Parts.

Fifth pod:

• Electronics Factory Just as well to get this early and get the university going.

Sixths pod:

• 25 Machine Parts This will total 70 Machine Parts. I got enough to cover unexpected expenditures and if not, expand early.

Third rocket:

• 12 Colonists

End

I can do better. Also, the map breakthroughs on this map are not optimal for Japan.
