6th of February 2020 is a date to remember – Rover Mechanic Simulator is ready to launch in Early Access! Become a crew member of one of the first Mars colonies, responsible for repairing and maintaining Mars rovers, and help achieve success with the Mars mission.
Pyramid Games, developer and publisher of Rover Mechanic Simulator, is happy to announce that Steam Early Access version of the game is launching today. If you were excited about the Pathfinder and Sojourner Mission, watched the Spirit rover take the Martian selfie, or wait for safe start of the Rosalind Franklin rover and other rovers this year, we have something for you.
The Rover Mechanic Simulator is an interesting proposition for fans of space and technology. It is worth mentioning that it is created with the support of European Rover Challenge, one of the biggest international space and robotics event in the world.
You are a mechanic working in one of the first Martian colonies. Your main tasks include repair and maintenance of Mars rovers, so that the remaining members of the crew can use them to collect detailed information about the structure of the planet.
Use tools
There are many devices at your disposal that will allow you to dismantle and maintain even the smallest parts of the rover. Use different tools such as a 3D printer, recycling machine, overhead crane, soldering iron and many more. In the later stages of the game, you’ll be able to upgrade them, making your work even more enjoyable and effective.
Fix integrated circuits
Not all parts need to be replaced entirely. You can use special workbenches to repair damaged PCBs or clean and maintain parts that have worn out during rover’s work. This can help you save resources for much more difficult tasks.
Decide what kind of mechanic you would like to be. The game offers you several development paths that you can choose from. Are you a tinkerer who enjoys disassembling devices into small parts? Become a technician! However, if you prefer to precisely analyze damaged parts and find malfunctions faster, then becoming an analyst would be a perfect choice for you. If you want to master the recovery of resources, you should follow the economist path.
Restore the legendary rovers!
There are many devices on Mars which served people in the past, but broke down at some point. You can fix and restore them back to service. Thanks to you they can keep on performing their tasks by sending specialized information about the composition of the planet. “Spirit”, “Opportunity” and others have served people for years and they can still do it!
Gain experience, earn higher ranks and take on more complex tasks. The future of humanity on Mars rests on your shoulders!
