Space Race is out now! And if you don't have it already you can buy it here. PATCH NOTES: Reimagined Mission Sponsors - Each sponsor in Space Race has a new unique building and a unique new vehicle that may be a Rocket, Rover, Drone or even new type of Probe. All of these dramatically change the way the individual sponsor plays and develops their strategy. New Sponsors - Brazil and Japan have entered the competition to carve a new home on the red planet! They come with their unique buildings and vehicles, sponsor goals and challenges for the colonization of Mars. Rival Colonies other Sponsors now set up their own Colonies and compete with the player for anomalies and events, engage in trade, covert ops and answer distress calls You are no longer alone on Mars. With Space Race you have the option to start a new game with 1 to 3 rival colonies which will land on other coordinates on Mars. You can contact other colonies and exchange technologies or open trade routes. You can also request help or provide aid to another colony. All colonies on Mars compete with each other for milestones and planetary Anomalies and only the first colony will reap the benefits. You can steal their Drones and Tech, sabotage their buildings and even attract their best Colonists to your own colony! Be warned - your standing with the rival colony will plummet and as they tighten security measures, you might lose the covert ops team and even the Rocket! Events, related to Space Race - Events are story elements that depict different situations arising in the colony and will play out randomly as your colony grows. Sometimes there will be difficult decisions to make, and sometimes your choice of Commander Profile and Mission Sponsor will affect the decision options you have. There is a unique set of events that can unfold only if the Rival Colonies are present, and they require the Space Race add on to happen. 6 new Challenges A set of 3 new challenges for each of the new sponsors, Japan and Brazil New Decoration set a set of out-of-dome decorations including flags and monuments New Dome skins a set of skins to add variety to your new colony 10 new Achievements: Space Shopping - Play as USA and have a Geoscape Dome with a Megamall before Sol 100 Tao - Play as China and have Tai-chi Gardens in 10 Domes before Sol 100 Space Capitalism - Play as Blue Sun Corporation and produce $100,000 M Funding before Sol 100 Europa Universalis - Play as Europe and reach daily production of 10,000 Research before Sol 100 Waste Not, Want Not - Play as India and convert 3000 Waste Rock to useful materials before Sol 100 The Pace of Progress - Play as SpaceY and complete all Sponsor Goals on challenge rating 500% or higher No Pain, No Gain - Play as Russia and have 500 colonists on challenge rating 500% or higher The Garden of Eden - Play as Church of the new Ark and have 250 Colonists at 70+ Comfort before Sol 100 Bushido - Play as Japan and train 200 specialists before Sol 100 Gold Rush - Play as Brazil and convert 2000 Waste Rock to Rare Metals before Sol 100
