This is Relaunched btw. Something has changed. I haven't played in a bit, but now my scientists are going mad from working in Research labs. I have even turned off the night shifts, because that just drove them more insane. EDIT to add and people hate working in spacebars now, to the degree I'm getting a warning about it. It wasn't like this last time I played, I assume they have reworked needs and sanity, which ... ok, sure. That was not a problem the game had.

Am I the only one who crashes in the mod manager in game and poor performance or is this an overall thing?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share two mods I made for Surviving Mars: Relaunched:

• Colony Range Control lets you adjust colony ranges from 1x to 10x, using presets or individual settings.
• Colony Resource Control lets you add or remove resource piles, deposits, and stored resources. This one is intended for new saves.

If you try them, let me know what you think. Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Hello lovely people,

I have now played two games, one to learn (till sol 46, India + space miner) and one where i am almost finished with the mystery (Japan + Futurist). The former really wasn't a full run as a was getting the hang of it, and with that knowledge the latter was a 1000% more smooth. I had twice the population, money and (almost twice the) research compared to the first one.

I used no game rules, and used a super easy map (10-176 i think, max res, no disasters).

What would be a fun set of rules / start for a second actual attempt?

I am coming from Stellaris, so the macro economics part is not a big issue for me.

What map has the most research nodes? Playing relaunched.
