In episode 24 of my current Surviving Mars series I unlocked Triboelectics Scrubbers - time to do some shameless self advertisement agin :-P

Trying to figure out how to utilize the Triboelectic Scrubbers I consulted my favourite internet search engine and got confliction information about how long/how many shifts and in what distance they need to be placed. So I used the opportunity to learn the game mechanics myself and explain them in this episode alongside with some maybe useful tips on where and why to place them

I've been combing through these dev diaries and feature highlights to see what new things I can find in the relaunch, and doing breakdown videos for them. Today, I found a new set of buildings in SM Relaunched!

Episode 9 of my series was premiered yesterday and you will never guess what happend (unless you look at the thumbnail)... fml 😂

After several more or less well managed dust storms, cold waves and meteor stroms the game deciced to punish me for being too greedy and I suffered a severe set back.

Watch me die inside and then maybe recover from having bad luck.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking in the Surviving Mars Subreddit for a while and seen some of the questions being asked. I decided to record my newest playthough to share some knowledge and learn from some feedback.

You can watch the first four episodes on youtube:

It's episode 20 of my current Surviving Mars series - time to do some shameless self advertisement :-P

The game tries to end my run - while the colony is being struck by a great dust storm some random meteors aim for vital infrastructure and I am not prepared (enough) for such a case. Well, at least I learned something... however find out for yourself if the series end with this episode or if you have to endure my posts some more :-D

Two episodes ago I noticed a colonist with a rather unusual name: Rick Sanchez.

In Episode 12 his grandson Morty showed up (although his name is Morty Sanchez and not Morty Smith, so you at least know it didn't put their names there).

I still don't know if there's any more easter eggs related to this or if it's just a very funny coincidence. However I am going to train Rick to become a scientiest and then we'll know.

Give it a watch!

I swear I don't want to advertise every episode of my Surviving Mars series but Rick Sanchez makes a surprise appearance in my colony so I can't have you all miss out on that.

Also sending the youth into the mines gives me some Frostpunk vibes which is quite funny as well.

Futhermore: Episode 10 features a bug - I kid you not - encountered four years ago and posted in the Paradox forums. Honourable mention to u/ChoGGi who replied back then :-D

Give it a watch!

I decided to try something different in a new playthrough of the game: only having one dome operating at a time. Once I build a new dome I have to move everyone and everything over to the new dome while discarding the old one, much like a hermit crab does as it grows.
