Surviving Mars Pioneer: Complete Beginner's Guide

1. Basic Controls

Adapt to Controls

The controls may feel awkward at first, but you'll get used to them. Developers are working on improvements.

Rotate Objects

Press the B button on your right controller while building. Avoid holding the grip button during rotation.

Exit Your Ship

After crashing, grab the key near the door, insert it, and open the door to step onto Mars.

2. Survival Essentials

Oxygen Management

Oxygen drains once you leave the ship. Build your habitat first to replenish oxygen indoors.

Eating Rules

You can only eat inside your habitat. Opening your helmet outdoors will suffocate you (the game blocks this, but stay realistic).

3. Building & Expanding

Habitat Placement

Don't build too close to your landing pod. Leave space for future expansions.

Explore the Cave Early

Visiting the cave unlocks a second habitat (spoiler alert!), solving early space issues.

Power Setup

  1. Build a wind turbine
  2. Place a power terminal and connect it directly to your habitat
  3. Each habitat needs its own power terminal, even if connected

4. Resources & Missions

Research Points

Collect them from completed missions in your mission log (open via left controller buttons).

Earning Money

Build a spaceship, accept contracts, mine resources, and ship them off-world.

Mineral Locations

The starting area has limited resources. Minerals like aluminum are found in other 10 regions—unlock them later.
