In 2053 earth population has risen up to 10 Billion people. To make room they bring their trash to Mars. Your Job as an Artificial Intelligent is to tidy the area up as good as possible. Use your Rover to collect the junk, process it in your factory and build new Rovers to make your live simpler.
> The goal is to bring hidden Uranium back to earth and thereby eliminate the humans, so they can’t bring you more Junk.

Changelog:
V1.1 (16.08.18): - Fixed most cases where the rover is not mining but he tries to and stuck - Fixed that the rover don't turn in the base and block it - Fixed the factory GUI is triggerd everywhere, eg. in the settings
V1.2 (17.08.18): - Fixed that the sound-sliders don't work - Slightly improved performance (up to 5 fps more, depening on your hardware and settings) - Fixed that the rover is not mining but he tries to and stuck
V1.3 (20.08.18) - doubled the performance! (for explenation, see the new block)
If you have a lot of performance issues, try to ajust the quality settings at the start
A really nice game! It took a while for me to figure out that I could build more rover, but then I was fine. :) Sometimes the rovers are unfortunately confused standing in the area, although they are just at the garbage pick, but that hardly bothers, because it's about controlling the rovers ^ ^ I wish you great success!
At first, I thought that somehow the rover was missing! Anyways, the UI and graphics was awesome. It was a little bit laggy on my gtx 1050Ti, maybe because of huge number of rigidbodies that you used which can slow down the CPU. Overall, I like this as a perfect entry for the theme.
Thanks to everyone who left a comment! A hard task was to optimize the game performence in the given time. The most resource consumption is the GPU, so if you have a lot of lag try to ajust the quality settings at the start.
Very cool atmosphere in here ! I liked very well your game, and the music it has. There was some problems when 4 rovers tried to deliver what they collected to the same place which made it a bit more into the theme ;D Neat idea you got there, keep it up ! :)
Nice concept, graphic and physics. Would love to see more feedback when things aren't accepted like asking rover to move but it stays in place, or clicking the nuke button in the base.
One of the few games where I see why there's a "mood" category! Very nice submission. I only skimmed through the controls, so when I found I can turn my camera by dragging myself against the base, I was coming here to gloat about my findings but then noticed you can just turn the camera so it's nothing special :( As already discussed - the quality-performance balance is a hard one to keep and while scrolling through the land I could see the different LODs popping in and out while at the same time my laptop started breathing quite heavily. Didn't really impact the experience - cool game!
Really nice, the ui is a bit clunky. And high amount of gameobjects is making my old laptop cry for help. Overall interesting idea, and pretty good execution
First of all, I love the idea. I would def buy/play game like this but with more mechanics and improved gfx. 2nd of all, I'm amazed that You were able to put so many physical objects around without the game crashing/bugging constantly!
Now, the things I had problems with are:
-AI naviagation. They were getting stuck often and I had to manually move them around -Quite unclear UI -Junk debris that hits the camera -Performance got quite bad after a while
Overall I think this game has a great potential for becoming something bigger. I hope You guys keep working on it!
@chrissx2 thank you for your detailed comment! We want to continue working on this game, but let’s see if we really release a new version in the future. If so, there will be some more performance fixes and a GUI rework (maybe also rover animations + pathfinding fixes). Cheers!
