TG Technology Pack

🌐 TG Technology Pack

Expand Mars with 32 new technologies across every research field

The TG Technology Pack is a large-scale expansion for Surviving Mars: Relaunched that adds 45 carefully designed technologies to deepen progression, enhance terraforming, and reward long-term colony planning.

Built to feel fully vanilla-compatible, these technologies integrate seamlessly into the research tree while offering meaningful, strategic upgrades across engineering, robotics, biotech, terraforming, and more.

🔬 What’s Included
✅ 32 Standard Technologies

Spread evenly across 7 research fields, each adding new mechanics, efficiency boosts, and colony-wide effects:

Engineering – Infrastructure resilience, extractors, heaters, and factory upgrades

Robotics – Drones, rovers, shuttles, and automation improvements

Physics – Power, research output, vaporators, and wind energy

Biotech – Farming, hydroponics, colonist comfort, and resilience

Social – Morale, training, services, birth rates, and colony stability

Recon & Expansion – Scanning, anomalies, rover logistics, and deployment

Terraforming – Atmosphere, water, vegetation, and long-term planetary growth

Each field contains 4 new technologies, creating a consistent and readable progression.

🌟 4 Breakthrough Technologies

Powerful late-game upgrades that dramatically reshape your colony:

Global research amplification

Factory replication efficiency

Specialist performance boosts

Deposit stabilization

Dome-wide comfort synergies

Breakthroughs are designed to feel earned, not mandatory.

🌱 Terraforming Enhancements (Highlight)

Moisture Vaporators contribute directly to water terraforming

Reduced atmosphere loss through advanced regulation

Forestation plants become more seed-efficient

Colony comfort dynamically scales with terraforming progress

Terraforming is no longer passive — it’s a strategic system you actively optimize.

⚙️ Design Philosophy

✔ No overpowered “win buttons”

✔ Scales naturally from early to late game

✔ Uses tech-bound code effects (no global hacks)

✔ Save-safe and reload-safe

✔ Designed for Surviving Mars: Relaunched

All effects are tied directly to researched technologies and respect vanilla mechanics.

🧩 Compatibility

✅ Compatible with Surviving Mars: Relaunched

✅ Compatible with most gameplay mods

⚠ Mods that heavily rewrite terraforming or building templates may overlap

No DLC is required, though some effects scale better with Terraforming-enabled runs.
