You’ve just scratched the surface of Mars, now get ready to go below and beyond. Back to the Bases - Expand your colony into caves and lava tubes under the surface. Players can use existing structures, or underground-specific buildings to build a base for exploration. Expand with caution, potential cave-ins can destroy everything. Mine Your Own Business - Players can now go below the surface and beyond the red planet for resource mining. Construct special rocket-propelled buildings to mine resources, including exotic minerals and Data Samples, on passing asteroids. Don’t stick around too long or else the Asteroid will drift away with your stuff!

    Branching Paths - The Recon and Expansion research trees unlock additional buildings, vehicles, upgrades, and locales. They will also unlock asteroid mining and tunnel colonization.

Unfortunately the "Below & Beyond" DLC introduces a ton of new bugs to the base game which range from the annoying to the game breaking. These include things like lakes turning the entire map into water, drone getting stuck doing nothing so that important tasks are never completed, demolished buildings leaving behind bugged assets that prevent building new buildings in the same place, crisis event not updating properly, weather issues, and many more. It's incredibly demoralizing to sink hours into a play-through of this game only to have one of these bugs ruin it.

    It's rare that I give a 0 out of 10 rating to something, but it's also rare that a DLC is so terribly made that it actually breaks the base game, even if you don't use the new content. I cannot believe the developers released this mess and I'm pissed that I paid $20 for it.
