Below and Beyond

Underground

• A new area to explore right beneath your colony. Uncovering what the Martian Underground has been hiding from us, perhaps we can even find something rivaling our wonders.

• Expand your colony into the Underground, providing shelter against the hazards from the surface and bringing you closer to richer deposits.

• Be careful, as there may be underground marsquakes that can lead to dangerous cave-ins.

Asteroids

• Venture to asteroids as they fly past Mars, giving you a limited window to visit them.

• Set up temporary mining outposts to extract as many rewards as you can from each asteroid.

• Bring back Exotic Minerals, a new resource exclusive to asteroids, to improve your colony on the Martian surface and its underground.

• Some asteroids may not be as they appear and have a mystery to solve while you are on them.

Recon & Expansion tech

• Unlock multiple specialized buildings, rockets, and upgrades in the underground and on asteroids.

• Gain benefits and upgrades for your entire colony.

Known issues

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

• After salvaging an asteroid lander, its contents are dumped on the landing pad. Any drones and RCs part of the cargo can not be used

• 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)
