I really liked how you build your pipes and power in triangles to encapsulate your domes. I have started doing this and skipping the basic domes and it has made the game way easier in the early stages. Also it took me forever to figure out how to destroy pipes and power lines, I wish I had watched this video first.

Well you turned this semi complicated game into a fun experience ... thanks for the tips

Thank you for providing succinct tips rather than hour and half long videos of rambling like most you tubers do for grand strategy games. Just because I like games that take 6+ hours doesn’t mean I have the same patience to watch videos to learn strategies.

aha! I knew they had to let you salvage old power lines. I was wondering how it was done

I'm hooked on this game. Thanks for the tips. Learned a few things.

Paradox and making actual tutorials is a paradox in itself...

I really can't disagree more about that first tip. Probes cost 200 million each that's a huge waste of funds uness you're playing the international mars mission. If you can't find water, send some vaporators. the initial base only needs water for making fuel so they're quite enough. Once down make a sensor tower and scan for free, should find water before the dome is ready anyway and you haven't blown a couple of billion funds on probes rather than something more useful, like extra drones, or a polymer factory prefab.

On ps4 I learned pushing push L3 and r3 you go back to your main hub. Unsure if this is posted in game but I been using and liking it since found

OMG thank you... I thought i was stuck with my power cables..

So I made this awesome Colony with about 70 colonist in a oval Dome I got to about Sol 70 and then my colonist would started losing oxygen probably like 4 of them they would die even though the Dome had oxygen and other people were fine is there a reason behind this?

If you have multiple water gathering buildings stacked near each other, do they create dust on each other faster than usual?

Wait, how do you build that little non-spherical dome?

Great video 🙏🏻

1) If you start with a rich sponsor, you can load your first rocket with explorer, single drone and as many probes as you can. Drone will build a solar panel from metal on Mars. Explorer then can run around and scan all anomalies so you have a huge selection of techs

thanks man

ASpec can you make a vid on the bare minimum needed to start a colony? i'm playing with the Church 260% plus a 475% on Olympus and I can't for the life of me find an optimized landing and i only have 1 rocket and 1 drone hub

Tip no.2 is not true in release. When you put 2 water extractors next to each other their output is halved. You basically spend twice as much energy for the same amount of water.

Helpful, thx

I need some 'Beginner Tips' please. how to make power lines and crap, I'm not this advanced yet.

I had no idea about multiple water extractors ... go figure.

U must have a lot of cable faults and water leaks do not build one single grid like that it looks cool but hurts early game resources till u get the mohole

After awhile my mini rc drones won’t do anything. Why is that?

palm to forehead.......i did not realize you had to "add" building upgrades after they were researched

I just want my buildings to not work because I need more workers and not because my electronics factory is broke down but I only have 2 stockpiled electronics and now nothing can get fixed because there are no electronics

One tip that I would have loved to know before I started using ridiculous amounts of solar panels to power pretty much anything: The Stirling Generator does never degrade and thus never needs maintenance, as long as you do not open it. It says in the build menu that maintenance costs polymers, and you don't really have a lot of these at the start... but as long as stirling generators stay closed, they are pretty much the only energy generating building in game that never needs maintenance.

ok a lot of this would have been great to know since all my people keep dying....

Tip 6. Always make Doom references while playing Surviving Mars. Always Edit: Doom3 was the best game out of the serie

Arg between a new game of Stellaris and a new game of Xcom2 War of the chosen, now this launches.N o t enough time ;p

What Not FTW!

Paradox definitely had their B-team on this one. Not even comparable in polish to cities skylines, very bad user interface experience here even by paradox standards.

This game has a terrible beginner "tutorial". I understand that they wanted it to feel like a survival game...but I shouldn't have to "survive" their convoluted menu system.

Dude that game is pure garbage! I saw better and deeper mobile apps, especially for 40 eurobucks. I am happy I could force a late refund out of steam. If you play on high speed you can easily manage to squeeze out one run in 2 hours bc there is simply nothing to do compared to tropico or city skylines. It should be called snoozing mars, no tension beside limited gameplay and a lack of useful mechanics. Honestly every dead colonist is just a manifest of ones own incompentency. It's too easy to get like 100 drones, 50 plus colonist and half the techtree and a self sufficient basic economy after an hour, so every crisis becomes just a boring micromanagment orgy ... so you can't even trust youtubers nowadays... I am seriously considering to unsubscribe, despite loving your content and being a paradox fanboy myself - but this turdfest?
