With dwindling funds, it is a good idea to research Mars crowdfunding, which will boost your funds by $1 000M. Thanks to the Stirling generator, you will build a high-yield energy generator.Īt the beginning of the game, when the number of colonists is low, and with a small (or medium-sized dome, thanks to the Indian sponsor), sociology will not be that cost-effective. Thanks to the technology of Autonomous sensors, you will be able to forget about sensor towers and it will save you some energy. Researching Low-G turbines will increase energy production from wind turbines by 33%.Subsurface heating will protect you from waves of cold, thanks to the Subsurface heater. Physics is a very important branch of technology. You can also research into Transport optimization if you use RC trucks often - they gather resources faster and its cargo space by 15.

Only Drone hub and Drone swarm can prove useful - the former allows you to build drone hubs, thanks to which you will be able to expand the colony, and the latter gives 2 extra drones to hubs and increases drone overall number to 80. The first branches of the Robotics tree are not that important. Microproduction will allow you to use rare metals for production of electronics in the electronics factory. Decommission protocol is often useful when you want to decommission and build a new concrete extractor - this technology allows you to demolish buildings. When it comes to engineering tree: Low-G hydrosynthesis - provides access to fuel factory and polymer factory. You can research into it if you have some spare prefabs at the ready. Hygroscopic separators are not necessary - it does not increase water production significantly (a 50% bonus for vapor separators). Utility crops is also a must and it unlocks new crops for farms. Water purification - unlocks water treatment plant, which decreases water consumption in domes.

When it comes to the biotechnology tree, it is a good idea to research, in the first place: Soil adaptation - unlocks farms, Magnetic filtration - upgrades MAGETLEN and increases oxygen production by 50% (installable upgrade - you can do that by clicking on the existing building and clicking on the icon in the upper-right corner, in the details window). Also, technologies that provide you with new crops are useful for starters. However, in the beginning, it is a good idea to research into technologies that unlock new buildings, increase performance of production and decrease building costs. Remember that anomalies can speed up your research and discover technologies from anywhere on the tech tree.Įach technology in the game is useful. Each technology has to be researched for the next one to become available. The technologies you are to research depend on what you currently need, on your playing style and what you want to focus on.
