However, this presents the problem of not having any water for the colony. You eventually learn that the water production can be shut off and the little glowing balls will stop draining it.
SURVIVING MARS WIKI MYSTERIES FULL
If it weren't for the fact that I had a full large water tank (with a capacity of 1500 units) before the mystery even began, I might have been in some serious trouble. Two of the new challenges in the Surviving Mars: Mysteries Resupply Pack DLC emphasize the necessity of redundancy, and St. This particular type of game is best played with an eye towards redundancy - the last thing you need is a meteor strike taking out a critical piece of infrastructure with no backup to handle the load.
This mystery is quite appropriately named as the challenge centers on dealing with a bunch of glowing balls that have an appetite for siphoning off your water supply.
If you're unfamiliar with the term, it's the name for brightly colored lights that would mysteriously appear on lighting rods or other tall locations.
Elmo's Fire is the Normal difficulty mystery. These pretty little lights are happily draining a lot of water from this tank in the St. Each mystery usually brings you something interesting or unique to the table, but this particular one felt like it might have been better to not complete it for all of the potential resource generation I just gave up. A pile of less-useful resources will be left as a gift for freeing it and that will mark the end of Philosopher's Stone. Once the final crystal has a flow of power going to it, the lot of them will break free, coalesce into a single gigantic entity, and hover above the colony. If you have a solid understanding of the game, you shouldn't have much difficulty with Philosopher's Stone. Running a bunch of wire while dealing with the usual problems of managing a colony isn't all that challenging and I was able to complete this task in a reasonable time.
SURVIVING MARS WIKI MYSTERIES INSTALL
In my run through the mystery, I took care to install switches so I could cut power to them if I needed to. As each one is powered up, it begins to generate some useful resources that could be picked up by a rover. No matter where you chose to build, you'd have to run quite a bit of wire to get to all the crystals on the map. You can build your base wherever you want in Surviving Mars. As you progress, the colony's scientists suggest that powering up the crystals might have something interesting happen. Your scanners are unable to reveal the regions of the map that contain these crystals. The map is changed slightly with the addition of several gigantic green crystals spread throughout the map. Philosopher's Stone is the Easy mystery in the Surviving Mars: Mysteries Resupply Pack DLC. If you weren't expecting to deal with colder-than-usual temperatures, you'll have to adjust your gameplay strategy to compensate for these new problems. For example, a mystery in the original game creates zones of freezing temperatures that require you to build heating devices to counteract it. They can really mix up the standard obstacles players will face by affecting the colonists or landscape in strange and interesting ways.
Mysteries are split into Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties. Now with the release of the Surviving Mars: Mysteries Resupply Pack DLC, three new challenges have been added for players to enjoy. The game initially shipped with nine mysteries and our review highlighted the value the additional challenge adds to the overall game. Mysteries act as a sort of randomized quest that (as far as I can tell) takes place roughly after you have more than 100 people living in your colony. Surviving Mars is all about the challenge of exploring the red planet, and the game's mysteries bring in an additional element.
