Martian Homestead: The Dreams of Gramps Makar
Step into the 22nd century, where the traditions of old Eastern Europe blend with cutting-edge technology. You’ve landed on a barren plot of Mars, and here begins your mission to create a cozy homestead — a living tribute to the cherished wish of Gramps Makar’s dearly beloved wife Sofia.
A New Beginning
Gramps Makar dreams of enjoying a peaceful twilight in a home filled with the enticing aromas of plum jam pancakes, tangy pickled cucumbers, and homemade moonshine. However, this idyllic vision is under threat: the free plot provided by AgroNova comes with strict harvest and food production requirements. With the corporation’s relentless ambitions and a history of grudges against Makar’s family, even your most diligent efforts may soon fall short.
Your Aide – Next-Generation Robots
In this unforgiving Martian landscape, advanced robots powered by AgroNova’s state-of-the-art AI will be your trusted allies. Each robot excels in its specialty and plays a crucial role in completing your tasks:
Assistant – a versatile helper ready to support you at every stage.
Loader – the tireless workhorse that never tires under heavy loads.
Builder – a construction virtuoso who effortlessly melds the robust architecture of the old world with modern technology.
Worker – an expert who transforms raw materials into essential building components, and harvests into delicious home-cooked dishes.
Cultivation and Production
Design the perfect environment for your crops using modern greenhouses and incubators. On Mars, you can cultivate everything — from hearty potatoes to luscious berries — that will delight Makar’s family and even be sent back to Earth, where fresh produce has become a rare luxury.
Nurture your garden beds into tiny oases of hope in a post-ecological world by:
Regulating optimal temperature and humidity;
Tailoring light conditions for every plot;
Regularly watering and fertilizing your crops.
Gramps Makar himself will send you the first seeds, carefully preserved from Earth, while you earn the rest from your neighbors by completing their tasks.
Crafting, Construction, and Fulfilling Tasks
From a modest greenhouse to intricate production lines, every structure you build brings Gramps Makar closer to his dream and helps meet AgroNova’s relentless demands. Turn ore into materials and process materials into finished products to ensure a steady flow of supplies for the corporation.
Atmosphere and Storyline
You are Rusty, the robotic foreman chosen by Gramps Makar to bring his dream to life. Eastern European flair, echoes of postmodernism, and the imposing architecture of bygone eras intertwine with futuristic technology. Your journey is a battle between the heartfelt desire to preserve cherished traditions and the ruthless ambitions of AgroNova, which aim to turn Mars into a profit-making machine for someone else.
As you develop your Martian homestead, you will encounter neighbors—fellow participants in AgroNova’s program. With them, you might share genuine camaraderie reminiscent of an Earthly dacha or clash amid greed, envy, and oppressive tax demands.
Are You Ready?
Help Gramps Makar fulfill the final wish of his beloved by creating a Martian homestead where warmth and tradition merge with automation and innovation. Embrace the challenge, for the stakes go far beyond merely meeting corporate orders — they’re about preserving the memory of what truly matters: family, culture, and the taste of real, living food.
