Tips and useful info
Here are a few things to keep in mind if you are using the mod for the first time:
  • Surface domes consume 2x energy, 2x oxygen, 2x water, and 2x maintenance rate. Energy consumption, oxygen consumption, water consumption, and maintenance rate will decrease progressively as the planet gets terraformed (-1% consumption for every 2% of terraform improvement)

  • Stirling Generators require exotic minerals for maintenance, - keep in mind they don't need to be maintained whatsoever if they are not open.

  • Mysteries that require colonists on Mars will not trigger if all colonists are underground, as the game only checks for population in surface domes.

  • Hydroponic Farms require two workers instead of three, and Fungal Farms consume only one oxygen.
