Mars is the second planet added to Galacticraft. Its surface consists of a brownish-reddish block. Tin and Copper can also be found on Mars.
Just like the Moon, Mars has no oxygen. The gravity on the planet is 38%. Unlike the moon, Players cannot leave footprints. Its surface has craters, mountains and a special crater which is the entrance for the Mars Dungeon. Meteors may also fall on Mars.
Prerequisites[]
Currently, Mars can only be reached with the use of a Tier 2 Rocket, as opposed to a Tier 1 Rocket. Thus, flying to Mars with a Tier 1 Rocket is impossible.
Day-night cycle[]
Mars day-night cycle is synchronized with Overworld's; the cycle is 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes of daytime and 10 of night.
Since the sunrise and sunset of both planets happen at the same time, the best moment to travel to Mars is during the Overworld's dawn (about 1 minute before the sunrise), so you will have whole day to build a base on Mars before the sunset.
During the nighttime, the environment darkens, but not as much as the moon's.
Due to a bug, the sun and stars are visible only in far-view distance. The Overworld is visible though.
Geological Features[]
The surface of Mars is riddled with worms, hills, and deep valleys. The planet's subterrain features include caves like that of the Overworld's, sludge-flooded caves that are large and circular, and tall rooms underground. They also have Bacterial Sludge and Cavernous Vines, which are poisonous.
Lava is nonexistent.
Structures[]
Mars features only one kind of generated structures: Mars Dungeons.
Mobs[]
Slimeling[]
Slimelings are tameable mobs found on Mars. Slimeling Eggs have a chance to spawn on mars surface. They can be red, blue or yellow. They can be renamed and fed to create mini slime Bodyguards. They can breed with one another to create more slimelings and the color of the new slimeling is the color of the parents combined.
Sludgeling[]
Sludgeling is some kind of macro-bacteria that spawn in swarms in the Bacterial Sludge. They attack any mob, including the players. A Sludgeling swarm takes place when any entity touches the bacterial sludge.
Boss[]
The Mars boss is the Evolved Creeper Boss, which can be found in the Mars dungeons. The boss is a three-headed giant Creeper that has an Oxygen Mask and shoots TNTs at the player on sight. The only known way to defeat this boss is by reflecting the TNTs against it.
