Salvage & Prefabs

The Wonders of Mars are exceptionally advanced and expensive structures that provide major benefits for the entire colony. Each wonder is unique and can be constructed only once.

Surface Wonders

Surface Wonders are unlocked at the far ends of each research tree. They can be located anywhere in the tech tree if the Chaos Theory game rule is chosen. Surface Wonder technology can also be given as a reward for completing Mysteries.

Buried Wonders

Underground areas will always contain one or two large objects with a Rare Anomaly next to it that when investigated will grant access to a Breakthrough technology that can be researched. Once the technology is researched a Buried Wonder may be constructed next to the object.
