Blue Mars Release Patch
Ahoy there!
For our first paid DLC, we wanted to present a new mechanic, new buildings, new techs, new achievements, and new ways to terraform Mars. Can you imagine a better way than allowing AMI to take command and sail the High Seas of Mars? Blue Mars is fully compatible with previous savegames, so you can unleash the maritime terraformation at any point in your current playthrough, or you can start a new one too! find out more about Blue Mars here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/803050/view/3211639524387093771

Blue Mars is OUT NOW
Welcome to Mars' Oceans!
In Blue Mars, you will be able to harness the power of water! New ways to interact with the Oceans of Mars await. You turned the Planet green before, let's go for blue! Got a game running already? No problem! Blue Mars is fully compatible with older savegames, so you can enable the new content without having to start a fresh game!
You will now be able to access water-based research sites and resource veins. Gathering more resources never has been easier! Build an Offshore Drilling Platform and top off your Storage! Of course, you'll need a little help to get the Resources to build the Platforms to the middle of the Ocean but AMI has the perfect helper.
Meet the Drone's cousing, the Barge! This bad boy can navigate the Oceans of Mars like no one else! We are you you will make fast friends with them. We are also adding Ports and Shipyards to the game. They are used to connect your land- and ocean-networks and build more barges respectively.
Hypertubes? I hardly knew ye! Barges open up new ways for you to transport previously dormant resources around to where they are needed most.
Accompanying the Release of Blue Mars is a Patch for the base version of Per Aspera with some general Game Improvements and additional polishing for the Multiplayer Mode. You can find more Information here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/803050/view/3211639524387096756

TERRAFORM TOGETHER
Multiplayer Launches into Space!
Now you are able to build, modify and terraform Mars with your friends. If you’ve ever thought you needed more hands to make an impact on the big red rock, now is the time to share the experience with your friends (up to 4 players).
Gather your Crew
The Multiplayer Mode is meant to work as a cooperative experience. Rally your friends and get your hands dirty while building the new landscape. Perform scientific research to enable plant and animal life in an otherwise inhospitable world. Show kindness and cooperation by sharing resources and impactful experiences. Multiplayer Mode works like the Sandbox experience, so there won’t be any PvP and military buildings. Please note that multiplayer won’t support mods.
Lobbying for Mars
Lobbies are accessed directly from the Main Menu. From there you can choose to create or join other players in jolly cooperation. Lobbies can be public, where anyone can join you, or private, where only the most privileged of your friends are allowed to take this cosmic endeavor with you. Finally choose the game’s difficulty and start this amazing journey.
Resume Transmission
Multiplayer games can be saved and continued whenever you want, so don’t worry if it’s getting too late to deploy a new Organic Disposal Plant. All of you will be able to finish your monumental achievement tomorrow.
Everyone, Everywhere all at Once
Now we’ve also added support for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian and Simplified Chinese for the whole multiplayer experience. It’s time to call your friend on the other side of the world and take over a whole new planet!
If you have enjoyed the game and the continuous updates, we kindly ask if you leave us a review. We would very much appreciate it.
