A Mars homestead
The supply ship broke up on approach. The gene vault burst over the crater, the line to Earth went silent, and the seeds Mars changed are coming up green in the red dust. You were the botanist. Now you're the farmer.
Turn red dust green
Till regolith, amend it, and grow 70 crops bred for thin light, through four Martian seasons and dust storms. Build a greenhouse, raise animals from embryos and fertile eggs, plant fruit trees.
35 colonists
A director, a hydroponics keeper, a cantina cook, an archivist, a rancher, a vet, four kids... Each has a home, a job, opinions and heart scenes. Befriend them, and marry one.
Get everyone home
Repair the comms, the launch pad and the wrecked ascent vehicle, one part and one supply crate at a time, while the colony's requests come in on the plaza board.
Under the crater
The mines go down floor after floor, with 72 kinds of monster, ores, gems and geodes, and something older at the bottom.
86 fish
Drill through the Ridge's ice, cast into brine pools, the dome's ponds and the deep aquifer. Some only bite at night, one only in a dust storm.
13 festivals, 91 dishes
Founders' Day, the Rover Rally, film nights at the cantina, a vigil in Deep Cold. Cook what you grow, and share it.
Co-op
Farm the crater with friends over the internet or your local network.
An archive and a zoo
Donate the relics and minerals you dig up to the Archive, and bring Earth's animals back from their DNA for the colony's zoo.
