Surviving Mars

Each Colonist has four stats – Health, Sanity, Comfort and Morale. As long as you keep your Colonists well fed and satisfied you’ll have no problem achieving this. All you need is just one single Colonist with his stats maxed out.

• Health - As long as you supply your Colonists with food, water, oxygen and sufficient accommodation, they will recover and maintain high Health and Sanity levels.
• Sanity - Colonists lose Sanity when working outside the Dome (little), working overtime or night shifts, witness deaths of fellow Colonists, disasters strike or there is insufficient necessities (food/water/oxygen/accommodation). Sanity is recovered through rest or visiting medical buildings.
• Comfort – Comfort is raised by satisfying Colonists’ interests via service buildings such as Spacebars, Art Workshop, Electronics Store, Gardens etc. This stat is the one that needs most work
• Morale – Morale is affected by Health, Sanity and Comfort. Having high levels of all the above stats will result in the Colonist having high Morale as well. Morale is also raised when the Colonist has the Religious trait, researching the Neural Empath (unlocks rare trait – Empath) or Inspiring Architecture (Domes with Spires increase Morale of all inhabitants) breakthrough technologies.
