Martian Settlement is the 17th Civilization and the 3rd Mars Civilization generator obtained in the Primary Simulation, which can generate Ideas 
.
Design[]
The Martian Settlement model looks like a basic survival pod with an external airlock, a few windows and an external MOXIE unit.
Description[]
"We are no longer just explorers—now we are colonists."
Upgrades[]
Martian Settlement has 7 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a total x57.42187 multiplier.
| Icon | Name | Description | Cost | Efficiency | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Water Drilling | To gain access to the frozen, underground waters of Mars, we must drill deep into the planet’s crust. | 1.32e21
|
25% | Resource Extraction Equipment Martian Settlement |
|
Ore Refinement | Now that we’re beginning to mine Mars’ natural metals and minerals, we’re going to have to purify them so that we can begin to turn them into new materials. | 1.32e22
|
50% | Water Drilling |
|
Crewed Rovers | Exploratory vehicles allow us to travel from one end of the Martian desert to the other. Road trip to Olympus Mons, anyone? | 3.3e22
|
75% | 3 Martian Settlement |
|
Fertilizer Production | If we’re going to live on Mars, we need to be able to grow on Mars. Fertilizer makes our soil richer, and the methane and carbon dioxide produced as biproducts are valuable in their own right. | 6.6e22
|
100% | Cyanobacteria Martian Settlement |
|
Radiation Protection | Long-term radiation protection will be necessary as we begin to colonize Mars. Underground living quarters are one potential solution to this problem. | 9.91e22
|

|
Lava Tubes | Mars’ underground lava tubes form natural tunnels that are perfect places for underground shelter. | 2.64e23
|
100% | 6 Martian Settlement Radiation Protection |
|
Genetic Engineering | We’ll need to change our genetic structures to make the human body better suited to life in low gravity. | 6.6e23
