Colony builder Surviving Mars is again with dome DLC and free tourism replace subsequent week • Eurogamer.internet

And there’s a new expansion planned for later this year.

Colony builder Surviving Mars from Paradox Interactive has resumed development and is expanding this Monday, March 15th with a free new tourism update and the In-Dome Buildings Pack.

Surviving Mars – which challenges players to rejuvenate the red planet’s waste and ultimately turn the world into a thriving colony of shimmering domes – originally launched in 2018 and received its last major expansion, Green Planet, the following year.

Everything has been quiet since then, but development has now resumed under the watchful eye of Abstraction, replacing the original creator of Surviving Mars, Haemimont Games.

The first fruits of the work of Abstraction will appear on Monday March 15th in the form of a free new update for Xbox One, PS4 and PC that will revamp the Surviving Mars tourism systems. Now tourists rate their stay in a colony. The resulting vacation experience rating will affect the rewards, resources, and future tourists players will receive.

New buildable hotels will help improve ratings by increasing tourist comfort and satisfaction, while a new low-G amusement park offers an additional increase in satisfaction. Finally, there are new rover safaris that can be bought from Earth or printed on Mars. This allows players to set waypoints at interesting locations so that tourists can sightsee and become even more satisfied.
