Surviving Mars recently received the Below & Beyond: Content Update 1. The developers reworked cave-ins, and they no longer require specific technology to be cleared. They also removed blocked tunnels that needed landscaping tools. These changes now make exploration easier. However, players do need specific tools for collapsed tunnels.
Additionally, the developers improved the loading time of the game when players switch between maps. After the map switches once, the following switches will fade instead to speed up the loading screen.
Gameplay Improvements
Added clear warnings to the lander rocket for why it cannot depart yet, so you can take action.
Disabled the visit asteroid button, if there is no Asteroid to go to.
Removed the Micro-G Vehicles tech, RC Vehicles can now always be brought to Asteroids.
Elevators can now recharge drones, just like drone hubs.
Improve requested payload feedback on the elevator.
Added 1 drone to terraforming initiative default loadout to fill out the cargo space.

Fixed the lander info panel showing an incorrect status when there aren't enough prefabs.
