From concept design to in-game model – Replicator
Hey there Colonists!
Since we worked a lot on the design of the tools and devices you’ll use in ROKH to survive on Mars, we wanted to show you how the in-game items stick to the original concept design.
Let’s start today with the replicator, a quite convenient device that will allow you to replicate your crafted items.
Doing so, you will gain some time as you won’t have to re-do all the crafting steps (craft each part and each component) for an item you’ve already crafted once.
Of course, you’ll have to craft the replicator first before being able to use this cool feature!

HI!
I have a few question…
first in the GDC demo where you guys show the basics of habitat building it appears that all the tiles are made of the same material and that they are used all over the base… i was wondering whether you can customize the tiles and their colour… also are the tiles the only materials used for building or will there be stair and glass and cool sifi materials…
My second question is which is also a request is whether or not we can visit the low orbit on mars with tiny rocket ships and build bases in space that orbit the planet… that would be so cool.
cant wait for this game to come especially since i learned Victor Antonov has joined the team… really looking forward to see his designs in the game…
sorry for the long post and thank you for all of your hard work 🙂

Hey there!
Thanks for your questions 🙂
First of all, remember that the GDC demo was really early pre-alpha, so we were showcasing only the most basic features of our habitat building system in this prototype. We have now integrated many different tiles, new layout, and you’ll be able to customize the color. The style of the tiles have also completely changed, it now looks as it’s made from composite materials. Of course, we have also new materials such as glass, mix between glass and metal, or barriers. Finally, we are developing special type of round tiles to create bases with a more sci-fi style, with rounded angles instead of right angles only.
For early access release, you won’t be able to visit Mars in low orbit or build bases there, but that’s a feature we keep definitely in mind for the future.
If you have other questions do not hesitate,
Cheers!
