Game Mechanics

Now that you know the basics, let's dive into how the Mars colony's economy actually works. The game runs on three connected systems that create a realistic economic simulation. Each system has its own rules and rewards, but they all work together – your choices in one area directly affect your opportunities in others. This creates a living economy where smart planning and timing make the difference between barely surviving and thriving.

The resource system uses real economic principles like supply and demand, with random events that keep things unpredictable. Trading happens in two ways: the Shop acts as a safety net with fixed prices, while the player Market lets you find better deals through negotiation and timing. Daily quests aren't just tutorials – they're economic opportunities that introduce new resources and teach advanced strategies. Understanding how these systems connect is key to building your wealth. Whether you become a specialized producer, a savvy trader, or a balanced player who masters all three areas, success comes from recognizing patterns and adapting your strategy as the colony evolves.
