Utopia Colony

Utopia Colony is set in 2033, where you play an ex-Marine who signs up with the mining corporation Utopia Arura. Sent to a mining location on Mars that you chose, you start with a small base and work to earn credits by extracting ore. You complete missions and tasks, develop the outpost and explore the surrounding area.

Mining on Mars

You search around the station for rocks containing valuable ore, mine them and bring the ore back to base. Once you have earned enough credits, you can buy a rover to reach and mine deposits farther away. The game is set in Utopia Planitia, a large plain on Mars.

Manage your outpost

Sell mined ore through the base’s management interface at the current market price, then spend credits on base upgrades, buildings, equipment, repairs, food and water. You can also buy and sell ore through the marketplace once the station has been upgraded; its prices fluctuate, so trading can make or lose credits.

Missions and research

Missions take you to outposts, facilities and the domed colony, with different tasks at different locations. Research tasks become available after you upgrade your base to the highest level and hire a researcher.

Survive the conditions

Solar flares can periodically raise surface radiation to dangerous levels, requiring you to take shelter in the Rua 51 underground mining facility. Dust storms can occur at any time, disorient you and disrupt communication; if you get lost in one, you can run out of oxygen.
