Mars is an expansive and unforgiving planet. You can expect to find automated enemies along side other hostile players whilst gathering the resources and materials you will need to survive. There are some small and a few larger settlements that can be looted for gear, guns, and many other items. Pay attention when you see a red indicator on the compass or a laser come down from space as this indicates an event where "Flops" can be gained at a much faster rate,also meteors can be seen falling,you can collect these as well for titanium.
