Progression & Earning

Your journey from a basic colonist to a vital member of the Mars mission is measured through two key systems: accumulating Mars Credits and advancing your colony rank. These progression mechanics work together to reward both economic contribution and consistent participation. As you gather resources, complete trades, and maintain your daily duties, you'll build both wealth and reputation – creating a compounding effect where higher ranks unlock better economic opportunities, which in turn accelerate your Mars Credits accumulation.

The beauty of this dual progression system lies in its balance of short-term rewards and long-term benefits. Every action you take contributes to your growth, whether it's a quick resource donation for immediate Mars Credits or the steady commitment to daily duties that builds your rank over time. This design reflects real economic principles where both capital accumulation and social standing create advantages that multiply over time. Understanding how to optimize both paths simultaneously is the key to maximizing your colony contribution and personal success.
