This page shows a typical early settlement and includes links to Marspedia pages about the various settlement facilities and their characteristics. If you want to design your own Mars facility, this is a good place to start!
Facilities
Storage
At the top of the colony plan you find a water storage tank, that feeds a water treatment facility. Storage is also provides for other resources, such as silica sand, iron ore and calcium carbonate.
Lodging
Three connecting modules link to buried habitats, using martian regolith for radiation protection.
Infirmary
An infirmary type health facility is provided near the habitats.
Lab
Research facilities will house a large part of the settlement's early activities.
Greenhouses
Four greenhouses produce food, but also do some atmospheric processing.
Public spaces
A large dome serves as a public space as do all the connecting nodes between the modules.
Power
Power is provided by photovoltaic power arrays. Down to the lower right a nuclear reactor provides power during the night of if a dust storm blocks the light for the photovoltaics.
Laydown areas
Two laydown areas have been leveled to provide a smooth surface to store containers, finished products and inactive spaceships.
Manufacturing
A Manufacturing area processes in situ materials. Minerals are used to create construction materials; atmospheric CO2 and Water ice to create propellant.
Wastewater treatment
A wastewater treatment plant takes in water from the settlement and the industrial processes and cleans it for re use.
Spaceport
A spaceport provide a prepared surface for visiting ships to land on.
Roads
Roads link the various areas of the settlement together. Rovers use these to move faster than over the original terrain.
Mines
Water ice and minerals are mined from the martian surface. Water infrastructures provide water to the settlements various needs.
