About


Occupy Mars is a technical, open-world sandbox, survival game about Mars colonization inspired by the most promising technologies and companies that are working towards the goal of humanity becoming a multi-planet species.
Build and upgrade your base, discover new regions, conduct mining operations, retrieve water, generate oxygen, grow crops, fix broken parts, and learn how to survive on Mars!

Build greenhouses, oxygen tanks, fuel generators, connect all the pipes and cables, and remember about proper cable management. Grow your own food.

Manage your energy production and build your electricity grid. Make sure that there is enough water, oxygen, power, and food to survive.

Fix broken parts using realistic electronic components and tools. Learn the basics soldering, using hot air, measurement tools, and all the details necessary to fix your equipment.

Explore different regions of Mars while searching for valuable resources, discover mining sites, and find the best place to build a city.

Remember that you need to find a relatively leveled area with good access to underground water in a place where temperatures don't drop too much during the night.

Experience an open-world sandbox game with a realistic day/night cycle and overcome real challenges that colonists face. Build solar arrays and batteries for energy storage, upgrade them, and find the optimal way to power your colony.

Upgrade your vehicles and equipment in your garage. Organize your workshop and modify your rover. Change crane hydraulics, operate the robotic arm, dig for valuable resources, build mining rigs, and more...

Occupying Mars is not always easy. Sometimes things will explode, break or not go exactly as planned. Learn to cope with "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.” Sometimes you have to really act quickly before you run out of air, food, or energy.
...but most importantly HAVE FUN on Mars!

Personal Rating: Mixed (45%) When I saw the negative/mixed reception, I told to myself that I'll give the devs 4-5 months to fix it. And today I played it. The first thing I see is the character creator that looks decent. After that you land on Mars, and the first thing I noticed is that you legit can't use the middle mouse button to roll across your hotbar. Is this a nitpick? Yes, but I feel obligated to nitpick because the devs had 5 months to do something about it. That being said, after that I lost all my motivation to play, because I can imagine how the rest probably was probably handled.
Game saves keep corrupting so is unplayable long term
Can`t recommend this game in it's current state. As a new players we faced a bugs which is existing for years and were reported by a lot of players. We created game and started playing as a group of three people. 1. Game has a lot of FPS drops when traveling 500-1000m away. Looks like it is loading a whole chunk at once after you reach some trigger-border. 2. We are facing A LOT of de-sync. Someone is holding an ore rock, for any other players he is visible as holding nothing. You hand placed a rock into small macerator. Rock got consumed, and you got resources for it. After a minute a friend came on a truck and is telling me "someone left a rock, I can't ride-in to drop all my rocks from truck. I watch at unloading platform and I see no rocks, I see him ramming invisible wallwhile he sees a rock on his way. 3. For one player car dissapeared from the world, and he told us that he see its mark 3-4km from our base. So we decided to dissassemble car, because two of us were seeing a car and being able to use it. After we finished building new car - it teleported for all of us 4km away. We all went there on foot, and we saw no car on the mark. We just accepted that we are having no car anymore and continued to gather rocks on foot, like on very beginning of the game. Also this car earlier refused to take new rocks into its storage, basically becoming useless, so that was a second reason for us to attempt rebuild vehicle. 4. We finally gathered enough resourec for heavy rover - we builded it. Guess what - it dissapeared. Like the car day earlier. And were located a lot of kilometers away from us. We went to search internet for solution and we found that starting capsule have a special button to retrieve an vehicle. So its spawned nearby. We tried to use that button to retrieve a car, but its not working for car. So its gone and nothing we can do about it. 5. We had to find older savefile after container for heavy rover stuck in downed state. We were restarting game, tryng to use an macerator, nothing helped, vehicle acted like conteiner was never attached to it. 6. On base canister shelf can start telling you "not enough space in inventory" when you try to take oxygen/water/CO2 tanks, but you clearly have space. Only way you can take a canister with this bug being active is by hands without opening inventory, and pixelhunt between "take canister" or "place canister" 7. Now my favorite. Listen carefully and better take a seat, because this is gonna be an absolute banger. [spoiler]In 2026, in order to adjust your in-game mouse sensitivity - YOU MUST RESTART THE GAME !!!!![/spoiler] 8. Can't connect to game because host-player can't aallow my connection, because his Esc button stopped working after some interaacting with workbenches. TL:DR: Good animations, fairly good scientific accuracy, fine gameplay mechanics and progression. BUT Don't buy at full price. On good sales ONLY. Don't expect game will work good. Game is not respecting your nor your friends time and nerves. You will end farming resources by hand like in very beginning coz vehicles dissapeared or got broken. And developer ignores some reported issues for years, It's shame to call game being version 1.1.
I will not recommend this game. It looks horrible,npcs looks horrible,sound is horrible. The tutorial is confusing as ♥♥♥♥. It runs horrible. Its ugly. Does not give a feeling that you are on mars. Game still needs about 3 years in the oven.
Игра ну очень сильно стала тормозить !!!!! прям слайд шоу..... после обновления. Оптимизируйте игру пожалуйста !
ich empfehle dieses game nicht: Hi allerseits, ich vertehe ja surval craft games usw, und das es schwer sein kann, ich verstehe auch das ein weltraum survival schwer sein kann ok, warum kann ich im singleplayer alles fein einstellen und im koop modus nicht?, also wenn ich zum mars fliege um eine base aufzubauen nehme ich auf gut deutsch nicht nur ein halbes toastbrot mit für 2 personen, (bis ich sowit bin um nahrung zuproduzieren bin ich schon 5 mal gestorben , desweiteren ist es extrem grind lasstig bzw sehr schlecht gebalanced, ein raum zu bauen wo mind 3 solarpanels ran müssen damit überhaupt die schleuse aufgeht, also ehrlich leute, kann man das nicht gleich mit aufs dach setzen und dafür etwas mehr ressourcen beim bauen verlangen? haben jetzt im koop 8stunden verbracht um das game wieder zu deinstallieren. hier muss etwas passieren ansonsten unspielbar im koop modus lg harti. wenn sich merklich etwas tun sollte werde ich meine meinung zurückziehen oder ausweiten
if your a person looking for a base building game with a great story to it this is the game you want to play. great game for you to stop thinking about life on earth for a small time.
Спасибо разработчикам за хорошую, добротную и познавательную выживалку! Да начала игра не дружелюбна к игроку (школота пускай проходит мимо эту игру) и имеются баги, но некритично. Пейзажи и графика на уровне! Физика довольно правдоподобная, что радует. В итоги ставлю твердую четверку из пяти!
I was looking forward to playing this game, but it has the worst optimizations I have ever seen. Even on my machine, I have to run on the LOWEST graphics settings, just to maintain about 100fps on my 240hz monitor. On the highest settings, it's totally unplayable. Also, I wanted to play in coop with a friend. He has VERY limited use of his left hand, but can't move any of the controls to his mouse buttons, so for him it's even MORE unplayable.
за 105 часов игры!!! НЕ ПОКУПАЙТЕ ЭТО ГОВНО! до ракеты еще +- играть можно 90 часов. исследование мира. стадия ракеты! 15 часов реального времени дебилизм. Добыча ресурсов в хим лабе самое ужасное что есть в этой игре. В итоге еще и не показали ка летит. Начете играть рассчитывайте сразу 50к алюминия и других ресурсов. Добывается все в РУЧНУЮ!!! есть майнеры! Да. но они ниочем, в ручную раз в 10 быстрее собрать. Нет стаков предметов!!! все по 1 шт. ДЕБИЛИЗМ! балоны с водой угл газом и т д. Добыча отходов МАРАЗМ. по 1 шт.надо 1000. можно рубить деревья.... нооо... они как бы растут в час по чайной лочке. Музыка говно! 2 трека которые крутят по кругу. По итогу сказанного. Не покупайте. =) Если бы была возможносмть вернуть деньги после игры сейчас я бы вернул.
