How do I get the money?

This chapter contains information on how to increase the funds provided by sponsors. If you can't create a self-sustaining colony, it will increase your chances of survival.

There are two ways to get more funds from the sponsor: technology and export.

Technology

There are two repeatable technologies - those that can be repeatedly researched - that increase the financial capabilities of the sponsor. Please note that Martian patents are available from the very beginning for the Commander Profile.

Martian Patents (Sociology) - License of Martian technology for use on Earth. That will give you 500 million dollars.

This technology can be explored multiple times.

Cost of the study: 3000.

Martian Copyright (Sociology) - Licensed Martian copyrights for use on Earth. That will give you $2,000 million.

This technology can be explored multiple times.

The cost of the study: 20,000.

Export

You can get additional funds by exporting rare metals. One rocket can carry up to 30 units. 30 rare metals increase your funds by $750 million. The unit price of rare metals is $25 million. This is a rather unprofitable way of earning money - it is better to use them for the production of electronic products.


The wonders of survival

In this chapter, you will learn what miracles are, why building them is a good idea, and how they benefit you. The chapter also provides a list of available miracles.

What are miracles?

Miracles are high-tech and expensive structures that provide benefits for the entire colony. Each miracle is unique and can only be built once. They can be unlocked at the end of the research tree.

Why build them?

Although you will pay for one leg and an arm, these facilities will significantly accelerate the development of your colony. One of the wonders of the Moho mine is that it produces 50 metals and 20 rare metals daily, and they don't need any deposits to extract resources. It's the same with an Excavator. It produces 50 units of cement, can be built anywhere on Mars, and requires no cement deposits. That's what makes miracles so profitable.

The List of Wonders

Artificial Sun

The production of 1,000 energy, the fact that it provides heat and light for solar panels, eliminates all the inconveniences that may arise in connection with this building - its constant and gigantic water consumption. This building is not essential, but build it if you are worried about power outages. Skip the guesswork. Visit https://phase10rules.com/ and learn how to play right.
