Specialties are player-selected identities enabling focused skill development for managing, expanding, or exploring a specific part of the settlement. Achievements and permanent skill bonuses enhance competitiveness against those without comparable expertise.
Access the Specialty Selector:
Navigate to the game interface and locate the "Change Specialty" button in the home page or profile page.
Select Your Specialty:
Choose your desired specialty from the list. Each specialty offers unique benefits and progression paths. Some are easier to manage then others, which is basically a rank of the number of cards and resources needed to keep track of.
Activate the Specialty:
Click "Activate" to set your selected specialty. Only the currently active specialty will gain progression.
Your new specialty is selected!
You can now go to the main menu and see that your new speciality is selected. Your new production will be applied to ranking up your specialty.
You can also see that the resource chain is filtered by resources related to your specialty in yellow on the left.
Switch Specialties Anytime:
You can change your specialty whenever you want. Simply return to the Specialty menu and select a different specialty. All progress in your previous specialty is saved.
Benefits from All Ranks:
You receive benefits from all the ranks you've unlocked across different specialties, even if they are not currently active.
To rank up your specialty, you must meet specific production and efficiency requirements.
Production Requirements
Each specialty has a production requirement that must be met to rank up.
Lifetime Totals: The production requirement is a running total over the lifetime of the game. Production from liquidity staking is excluded.
Example:
If a player with the Technician specialty has Solar Panel Arrays producing 10 power, Fission Reactors producing 15 power, and Ice Mining Rigs consuming 20 power, the total production is +25 power towards the Technician specialty, not just the net +5.
Efficiency Requirements
Efficiency is determined by how well your items are producing resources.
Hourly Efficiency Counter: If your efficiency drops below the required threshold for an hour, progress towards leveling up pauses until you meet the requirement again.
Efficiency Calculation:
Efficiency is calculated as the average efficiency of the relevant item types.
Example:
Solar Panel Arrays: 100 Collection Strength (CS), with 70 CS active and 30 CS deactivated by a hazard, results in 70% efficiency.
Fission Reactors: 200 CS, with 180 CS active and 20 CS deactivated by a hazard, results in 90% efficiency.
Overall Efficiency for the hour: (70 + 90) / 2 = 80%.
By understanding and utilizing these steps, you can effectively manage your specialties in Mission Control, ensuring you maximize your production and efficiency on Mars.
