After years of development and an incredible journey through Early Access, Occupy Mars: The Game officially launched in version 1.0. What started as a shared dream almost a decade ago has grown into a full-fledged game — shaped by passion, perseverance, and your feedback every step of the way.

Version 1.0 brings a huge amount of content and systems together, including:

• Expanded Chemistry System: Advanced reactions, rare minerals, and new depth to crafting.

• Cooking and plants: New plants and cooking mechanics with dozens of recipes.

• Vertical Grids: The long-awaited system for building complex, multi-story bases.

• Spotty: Your robotic dog companion is finally here! 🐕🤖

Below you can see a summary of changes since the last major update. Version 1.0 brings a huge amount of content and systems together, including expanded chemistry with complex reactions and rare minerals, new plants: hazelnut, soy, and coffee, advanced grid-based and vertical building, cooking with dozens of recipes, new buildings such as the large solar panel, the ITS rocket, and even Spotty, your robotic companion on Mars. This release represents the vision we’ve been working toward for years.

Does reaching version 1.0 mean the end? No.

Now that the core content from the roadmap is delivered, it opens the door for us to explore new directions, such as:

• Console Versions

• Full Gamepad Support

• Further Optimization & Polish

• Continued Support

Thanks to our cooperation with Tilt, we have recently launched an Official Merch Shop! If you ever wanted an Occupy Mars Mouse Pad, T-shirts and Hoodies or Floor Mat, they are now available. This is handled externally, so our team remains 100% focused on the game.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Now… it’s time to land on Mars. 🔴🚀

See you on the surface!
