This map is a work in progress, and should be used for testing and bug reporting only. Not all features described here have yet been inplemented.

In the near future, a group of astronauts is sent to Mars in order to colonize the red planet.

They chose to inhabit the Valles Marineris canyons, which would provide a natural barriers to the harsh, Martian climate.

They built a plasma dome within the canyon and placed four obelisks around the dome which would capture sunlight and focus it underneath the surface of the planet in order melt the ice which was trapped there below.

As water vapor was released from beneath the Martian surface, the canyon began to take on new life. Plants and animals, which where trapped, frozen in the ice, began to thaw out and repopulate the canyons.

Some of these plants and animals were monsterous, and were threatening to destroy the plasma dome which was protecting the colony.

Awakened to the realization that you must protect the safety of the dome by capturing as many of the animals that you can in order to salvage the mission, and provide a stable atmosphere on Mars.

Features: All players spawn with full Tek Armor, and all Tek Engrams learned. Aberration Dino Spawns. Aberration, Scorched Earth and ARK Prime Engrams. Realistic Mars gravity, and climate. Custom Sky textures. Custom Creatures. Boss Battles in space. Custom resources(hydrogen fissures, etc...) Custom structures(hydrogen rig, etc...) Playable area is four times greater than the area of The Island.
