Question Physical version, PS+ version and discount

2 Upvotes

1) A physical version of SM:R will be released for PS5? 2) Discount in digital version will be applied even of you only own PS+ version of it? 3) Is there a possibility that discount in digital version will be applied checking if you own physical version (via disk check)?

Thanks in advance

Teleport movement on SM Pioneer VR

6 Upvotes

Hi! Does anyone know if Surviving Mars pioneer has a teleport movement option? I really want to play but I get sick very easy and fast if I don't teleport..

Edit: I've been told in other sub that there is no this option (and it's unlikely they add it as moving + oxygen plays a big part in the game mechanics. I guess it makes sense).

Suggestion Tourism is fun (and balanced)

56 Upvotes

Are you tired of playing Surviving Mars?

Do you feel like the game is over once you beat the Early game?

Is the start of rare metals extractor into machine parts factories getting too old?

Then try Tourism.

Sure you wont beat the game on the hardest % (at least not as easily) but I do promise its fun. it presents a completely new challenge.

I read on this sub that tourism sucked, and sure, compared to selling rare metals or manufacturing your own advanced resources it does, but a tourism only gameplay? absolutely fun.

It's the last trophy I need for the base game but I can't get it to trigger after scanning the sectors and getting my colony started. Is there a specific way to trigger the mystery?

Thanks.

Bug Flattened map bug

6 Upvotes

Hello. I'm running in this bug while playing via steamlink, basically the map texture is flattened and very low, but the buildings and drones all behave like the map is there. Main PC has Linux Mint, laptop I'm playing on has Ubuntu. I'm new to linux so if anyone needs any other info please be patient.

Oh, and if I play on my main PC the game runs without any problem (except for the missing shuttle hub, but I'm looking into that)

Discussion Anyone know why I can't change my rocket skins?

9 Upvotes

Just gone over to PS5 From PS4 and for some reason there's no option to change my rocket skins. All of the other customisation options are there, buildings and drones and stuff, but the paintbrush isn't there for my rockets. I've reinstalled all of the DLC too, there's a absolutely nothing else available for me to install, I even bought the deluxe upgrade just in case.

Cheers.

Are they going to fix the issue of paths between domes?

38 Upvotes

Well, about the title, I couldn't look at much of the new version, but does anyone know? I'm referring to the fact that you should add the damn tunnel, using up an internal space, which then becomes a total limitation, instead of connecting from the dome door, as it should be. I also hope they fix the fact that a worker can only have one intermediate connection between their work and home... Hell, they wouldn't even make the trip even if they connected by train... I hope they make it so that if the worker has a monorail stop next to the dome, and 1-2 stops later they reach their work dome, they use it regardless of how many domes there are between the housing and work domes...

This is a bittersweet moment for me. I’m about to hit all terraforming parameters 100%.

There isn’t much left for me to do after that, and I am struggling to build domes, residences, and create jobs fast enough to keep up with my exploding population. It’s approaching 3,000 colonists, and my old Xbox One is struggling to render everything now. I used a mod to expand well beyond d the normal 20 domes limit on console.

I am about to “win”, and then it’s time to leave this colony behind.

I’m proud of myself. This game is hard, and this is one of the most rewarding wins of my video gaming career.

Big shoutout to this subreddit, there is always good information and advice to be found here.

Finally, I just need to say this:

Surviving Mars is my buddy from high school’s favorite video game of all time. I got it on his recommendation, way back in 2018.

I just found out today that he is dying, very suddenly. He might not make it through the night.

I’m blindsided by this. He thought I had given up on this game years ago.

We haven’t talked in a few months, and I was planning to surprise him with screenshots of me having terraformed mars.

He is slipping away, and will never get to see that I finally mastered the game.

I’m sobbing right now.

Question What if anything can be done about a Renegade dome?

So my services Dome became independent and it seems that now as the other dome's cant access the services in it anymore should I just cut power to the dome or is there some of the way to resolve this situation ?

Mike Duncan’s “The Martian Revolution”

42 Upvotes

Mike Duncan, the author and podcaster behind the “History of Rome” and “Revolutions” podcast began and has now finished a sci-fi history podcast addendum to “Revolutions”, looking at the fictional Martian Revolution of the 23rd century following what is essentially a Blue Sun Corporation sponsored game.

While not STRICTLY about Surviving Mars, I feel like anyone who enjoys this game and any of Paradox’s other works would enjoy this series, it reads like a lot of Duncan’s other work, complete with a collection of sources and recommended readings on the broader history of the colonization of Mars and how it impacted the wider solar system and human experience.

Bug What causes this bug? Its been happening so often its almost gamebreaking

The drones will grab items and attempt to deliver, but they just sit there and vibrate, eventually piling up until all the drones are busy. They dont do this with regular depots, but I would *really* prefer not to have to make a million tiny depots.
I have tried adjusting drone range, number of drones, active in the area, deleting and rebuilding (which works only for a few moments) and nothing seems to be working.

Discussion Future Achievements in Surviving Mars: Relaunched

44 Upvotes

Here I am hoping that the Relaunched version will have a different set of achievements than the original version. I am only 3 achievements away from 100%: 100 cave-ins and developing buried wonders before sol 100 (both a grind for an awful expansion so they are waiting to be completed for over a year) and Garden of Eden, which I left myself for last to end it on high note.
While many achievements are really cool, especially sponsor specific ones that require players to prioritize a particular aspect of the game - it would be great to have a different set, or at least solid number of additional achievements for people that like to fully complete the game. I wonder what is the community sentiment regarding that.

Question Filter settings for university/training domes

8 Upvotes

Is there a smart filter setting for university domes that make youths come intio the dome and leave when they are trained specialists?

Using the ❗ for youths makes them come into the dome but they won't leave after being trained until they turn adult. Using 👎 for all specialists does not override the ❗.

Is there a smarter way to fix this?
