"The final terrestrial planet, it has a thin atmosphere and polar ice caps."
Mars-Starnav

Mars is the fourth planet in the Solar System. It has an orbital space of size 384x64.

On the surface, it appears very similar to the dwarf planet, with the exception of a cave of purple Magic Stone, that is very similar to the one where you first meet The Alchemist, and polar ice caps. There is also a pillar of spirit blocks leading down to the entrance of the cave. There is an underground sea that has Spirit Fish, Stygians, and coral.

The ocean doesn’t extend all the way around the planet, and you can dig to the bottom without draining the sea and threatening the creatures with extinction.

Because the enemy species used Mars only as a reconnaissance station, the moons Phobos and Deimos remain intact. On the surface, the only changes from the real-life Mars are the Exiled’s cave, a few Spirit Chests, and two spirit pillars with enchantment recipes.

NPCs[]

The Exiled is the one and only NPC. He has a few quests to help you learn magic and get to their HQ.

Mining[]

While Mars is part of the Magic path, most ores there don't matter at this point on that path, only Exotic Matter and Evolution Shards. Relevant to the Science and Hybrid paths, the basalt contains Chromium which is used to build and repair Exo Mechs or Exo Fighters. All blocks on the planet only need the Drill (level 4) or better to be mined.
