Mars - the Arrival 1.5.0

Settle on Mars in a unique blend of gaming and scientific simulation. Assume command of a small group of 10 settlers and carefully select a landing spot on the desolate surface of Mars. Evolve your mission from a single landing module into a prosperous settlement featuring hundreds of specialized buildings and a growing population.

Researching and developing new technologies, alongside exploring the mysteries of the Red Planet, are pivotal in establishing a lasting presence in such a challenging setting.
