Known issues in Surviving mars 1.25
Asteroids:
- Drones that are “busy” with transporting resources do not get added to the cargo of a Lander rocket when the asteroid moves out of range. This can occasionally cause a crash

- Pin menu does not show incoming Asteroid Landers from Asteroids
- There is no warning about an unloaded cargo when launching a rocket back to Earth
- Drones occasionally try to get to the unreachable area on Asteroids in order to gather resources
- The camera is out of the map if the player clicks on the Astronomer’s pin while s/he is in orbit (Dying Wish mystery)
Underground:
- Even after clearing debris, the area is uneven and unbuildable
- Some cave-ins are unreachable and therefore cannot be cleared which prevents further exploration.
- Shuttles can fly ‘too high’ vertically in the Underground.
Platform specific:
- MAC: Many UI images don’t show up in the Mac build
- Black squares are shown instead of B&B content icons on Epic build (Mac)
