One year before we started work on Mars 2030 work began on a giant open world game called Dwarfscape. We have since made it much bigger and put years of fantasy RPG love into it:

• Reduced the spawn rate of navigation arrows
  
• 5-Stasis Mines now awarded by default in Moonbase Down

Mars 2030 [1.4] has arrived and it’s the most fun version of the game yet. Two new mini-games were released in 2018, making this year the largest content expansion since launch. We have also continued to smooth out overall game play based directly on player feedback.

We are excited about emulating Cave Ice Mining on Mars over months of in-game flight time. It's a rewarding progression between hazards and there is an element of chance to your results. Once an ice vein is depleted, the number of ice units collected is added to your mission score x100.

Get started mining by pressing the list icon on the ship status window:
