The first step will be adding a research item so that users can unlock additional features or events when they send their automatons out to locations.
- Allow satellites to find deposits on planets in the Planet4 project - DEPOSITS-1
- Allow rovers to find deposits on planets (Mars) in the AI4Mars project - DEPOSITS-2 ✅ 2025-10-14
See SSG-292
Additionally, I think we need to start taking a look at how rovers will work (and the locations they’ll “visit”), if Mars will be enough. SSG-291
When users discover deposits, I need to figure out where to show them - ask Dev?
post-sprint (post-SSG-292): perhaps the more “prestige” a user has in an area, the better the confidence values…
- Plus, a research item for users to be able to send automatons (rovers, specifically) to different planets, not just Mars
Are we going to suggest that Mars is some sort of community settlement? Allow users to send rovers to other planets and asteroids? New composition configuration there?
