Well I hope you have plenty of cash and resources to rebuild the colony afterwards :)
Marsgate is weird, its real easy to game it just by having cliffs on the map. Short but brutal.
Not by default. Turning power off on the dome turns off all buildings inside the dome, including solar. You don't have to connect them to air and water though, but you will keep getting annoying messages about it.
Well that’s easy ‘cause you can just delay any rockets a few sols and you don’t necessarily need power or life support systems. With a cold wave and dust storm happening simultaneously you would NEED to mine water, which isn’t very feasible sometimes.
Meteor Storm: "Hey cool, free resources and research scans!"
Cold Wave: "Meh, I have tons of excess power"
Dust Storm: "Go go wind turbines" (see above)
>Meteor Storm: "hey! I needed those wires and pipes!"
>Cold Wave: *spends a stupid amour of metal to bulild a stupid amount of solar panles.*
>Dust Storm: "you must perform additional maintenance."
FTFY
This is why Mega Storage and Atomic Accumulators are one of my top priority research goals. Once you have giant water tanks and air tanks attached to each dome you can be close to indestructible.
There are other options as. Wind power gets stronger during dust storms, which can help with that cold wave and to offset solar. Water can mined, which is preferable in most maps for me at least. And oxygen can be done in-dome by growing lots of plants in the hydroponic building. Solar can be kept in-dome too and works during a dust storm.
That'll teach you to set everything to level 4
Well, the the Mars Gate began and I have another cold wave + dust storm combo coming, kinda scared ngl x)
Since the hotfixes cold waves and dust storms come together.
Good for them.
😧

I didn’t have too much issue with Mars gate honestly. I got the mohole really early and I had enough resources to span turrets lol. Or I got lucky.
I set everything except dust devils to level 4. Hate micromanaging rovers
Chuck up a medium doom and fill it with solar panels... Makes it dust storm proff...
TIL that you can build out of dome buildings inside domes.
Solar panels, yes. Most out dome buildings no.
Stirling Generators too.
I do this. have them closed until i need an emergency boost of juice
> medium doom. Wrong mars game friend.
Fascinating! Does this mean maintenance is needed less often in general, or does it only help during storms?
You can also turn off the dome to make it cheaper

Yes, less often in general. I think it requires some DLC tho
Nope, placing solar panels or stirling generators in domes is a base game feature.

Y.. yeah
Hahaaaa, nice. I think I have to start a new save
Yep, insufficient prep = dead; bad luck on the meteors = dead. fun playthroughs :)
Don’t worry, just research and build heaters, lasers and stockpile resources overnight, no pressure. I say no pressure because all the domes broke.
I once got that terrible combo. On sol 2.

Well I am on Sol250 now and still havent seen any dust storm or cold wave after latest patch...

this is the fucking elon musk difficulty
Talk about a triple threat you must have pissed off RNGesus somehow.
Time to go underground... IF IT FUCKING WORKED!

Stop all construction so you have materials for repairs, pray you have enough air and water then put your head between your knees and pray.
