Surviving Mars 1.33 Patch Notes – December 15, 2021
Balance Changes
- Adjust the Fungal Farm to have higher food production in the underground and lower food production on the surface.
Adjust recon center discovery rate; discovery frequency is now less extreme, with no more multiple events on the same sol or long periods without asteroids. This also fixes recon centers with a low recon per sol not contributing to discoveries.
- Reduce oxygen and water consumption for underground domes, to be more in line with surface domes.
