I need skill POINTS and CIRCUIT BOARDS ! [S2 E2] Occupy Mars: The Game

[@danieljobber7931]

The medium circuit board in your pod is for the workshop. You're supposed to have enough materials in your starting pod on medium mode to build your workshop

[@darkularity]

This I found out after a couple episodes lol

[@danieljobber7931]

They were supposed to have made some engine improvements. I would definitely be focussed on your base building, but more importantly, be more focussed on your exploration. Stay within the known and named areas. It's a massive area anyways. The less random generated map, the better!

[@Blabster89]

I know this is an old series and it's only episode 2 but I'm loving it so far

[@ZombiePete1]

make an extra grinder when you can. Keep a lvl2 grinder when you can upgrade to lvl3. this way you can scrap stuff inside bases using your lvl2 without accidentally grinding the base itself.

[@ZombiePete1]

Top priority is getting a battery. This lets you have plants, as you can power the base at night, and let them grow. The plants, once they mature, make interior oxygen for your base.

[@ZombiePete1]

You can also scrap a lot of architectural features such as fans and so forth inside and outside. benches, lockers, even cables can be scrapped.

[@ZombiePete1]

One thing you never really need to get is the oxygen scrubber. it uses a circuit board, and the oxygen thing in the capsule can refill any bottles.

[@darkularity]

Unless of course you move away from the capsule 😊

[@jeffr7039]

I agree the heartbeat can be annoying.

[@norwegiangadgetman]

Skip the Co2 scrubber for now. The ONLY reason for it is to fill Co2 cartridges to clean the Solar panels, and that isn't important until you already have plants growing. Oxygen production? Not an issue as soon as you gets plants growing. Each plant produces 0.29L/hour. A full incubator results in 5.8L/Hour.

[@stevelucas9091]

This looks like a really cool game. I will get it someday

[@darkularity]

It is tons of fun!

[@Shadow-Hawk]

It would be nice if they can make it so you can fix up and use the old abandoned bases.

[@darkularity]

I agree, I feel like anyone in that situation for real would want to be utilizing those abandoned bases

[@danieljobber7931]

You'll want to have 2 torches, 2 Jackhammers, and 2 grinders. Even with the lower durability drop of ranks 2 and 3, you'll still need 2 most of the time

[@darkularity]

Why two of each? Couldn't you just carry a stack of the repair kits to save space?

[@danieljobber7931]

@@darkularity Hmm. Hadn't really thought of that. I usually save repair kits for emergency helmet repair, but one could just make a couple stacks, I suppose

[@danieljobber7931]

Hey, Dark, you ever played Farm Simulator 22? It's free on PlayStation plus this month, so I downloaded it on my PS5. Pretty engaging sim game, I have to say!

[@darkularity]

I have played quite a bit of farm sim, I've been an avid player since farm sim 2011 lol
