Surviving Mars recently received a new hotfix that made gameplay improvements and fixed bugs. The developers have added a new warning notification when players are trying to launch a lander with colonists not having a habitat or when they don’t have enough resident slots. This warning will help players be aware of their surroundings before using the landers.
Additionally, the developers have fixed several crashing issues like the crash when players start a new game on macOS and a crash after a rough touchdown event when the drones unload the payload. The game crash after rough touchdown was quite annoying because it happened at the end of the event. This means the progress for that event would be reset and players would have to do it again or just ignore it.
