We are teaming up with the Alien Worlds | Galactic Hubs program to create an exciting experience for Colonize Mars and Alien Worlds players.

Cosmic Salvagers Arcade Game Overview

Cosmic Salvagers is an Arcade game inside of Colonize Mars, where mission control operatives score if they find the parts with fewer scans, and their reflexes when performing scans are accurate.

The game is played with the Rover. There is no limit to the number of games played, but each gameplay turn costs an arcade token, which can be found in exclusive starter packs (see below) OR purchased for 100 Martia once you have access to the arcade.

Once you start a game, you will need to locate alien spacecraft deposits on the game board. You must use scans to triangulate deposits:

Once you find a deposit, you will see the “Spaceship Part Found” alert pop up:

Find as many as you can before time runs out! At the end of the game, a score will be calculated as follows:

((# deposits found x 10,000) * (Triangulation Accuracy %)) * (Reflex %)

So if you found 20 deposits, did 30 scans, and had a reflex score of 90%:

((20 x 10,000) * (20 / 30)) * 90% = 120,000 Score

At the end of the game, you will see how your score ranks on the global leaderboard. You’ll need to have one of the highest scores to get prizes.

Every game played counts on the leaderboard, and the rank is for the single highest gameplay score you have (not cumulative).

Arcade Prizes

The Arcade starts on Sept 25th at 16:00 UTC and ends October 5th at 16:00 UTC. We will take a snapshot of the leaderboard at this time and distribute rewards via airdrops on Friday October 6th.

Your goal is to place as high on the leaderboard as possible with a single score by the end of the event.

The prizes are as follows:

1st Place: 20,000 TLM & an Epic RD9000 Excavator

2nd Place: 10,000 TLM & a Rare Artunian Shovel

3rd Place: 7,000 TLM & a Common Power Extractor

4th Place: 5,000 TLM & a Common Power Extractor

5th Place: 4,000 TLM & a Common Power Extractor

6th — 10th Place: 3,000 TLM each

11th — 50th Place: 1,000 TLM each
