# Make a Hauling Rover from Scratch *Hauling rovers hold nearly the same celebrity status of the original exploring rovers save for missing the beloved cuteness factor of the rover. In the Ad Astra Landings these hauling rovers were equipped with large cargo beds and a set of four massive rock grinders. The main difference between the old hauling rover designs and the current ones are the implementation of autonomous AI. These hauling rovers are utilized in the construction of larger buildings and larger-scale mining operations.* *The Duskwork's Hauling Rover functions identical to the Ad Astra Development Zone hauling rovers, except kept in the traditional yellow finish that became synonymous with the first colonization of Mars.* As a self-reliant Martian, you will have a chance to learn how to produce all the necessary materials and parts to make your rovers. At the moment, you can create two types of rovers: Hauling and Exploring. On this page, we will look at how to get from nothing to a Hauling Rover in a couple of days. We'll overview the process and then show you the details of each step in the process. ![](https://290879272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRE7Ss7iwx0Rd7OTprzAm%2Fuploads%2FXdTKiiD4g76RjIS6BD6s%2Fec-Recovered.png?alt=media\&token=2254ae5b-5787-4194-a163-8189ae3e2c0b) Here is a list of all the buildings and the recipes you'll need to use to create the Hauling Rover. ![](https://290879272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRE7Ss7iwx0Rd7OTprzAm%2Fuploads%2F1yHj1Fi75AYV3cs4JxTv%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=4c230e9e-4084-4e47-92ae-a9c1c788d90a) [**Smelter**](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/core-factories/smelter)**:**

For our first step in the make a hauling rover process, we'll need to dig up some regolith off of the Mars surface. You'll need to head on over to your [**Mining Rig**](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/advanced-factories/mining-rig)**.** Down in the **Tasks** section, you'll want to mining some Regolith. For **Regolith Mining I**, you'll need: * **1 Task Capacity** * **2 Stamina** * **20 Power** ![](https://290879272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRE7Ss7iwx0Rd7OTprzAm%2Fuploads%2F2l4yZHDCUt1oSgx60WB9%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-01-27%20at%201.09.48%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=4d238134-f9e5-4802-a2e3-1b4d19ebc1ea) Now that we've set up our [**Mining Rig**](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/advanced-factories/mining-rig)**,** we'll go locate our [**Sabatier Reactor**](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/core-factories/sabatier-reactor) **and open it up.** Just like in the previous step, we go down to the **Tasks** section and we're going to do the task: **Split Water I**, this will split the water and give us some **Hydrogen** for making PVC and **Oxygen**. You will need: * **1 Task Capacity** * **1 Stamina** * **1 Water** * **10 power** ![](https://290879272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRE7Ss7iwx0Rd7OTprzAm%2Fuploads%2FXX8llm0feiNhZmuukazH%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-01-27%20at%201.11.38%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=833e5329-11b7-44eb-bbea-47ac7d1b24ce) In order to make the extremely important, yet smelly gas of **Methane** for later production of PVC, you'll need to use the **Produce Methane** task and have the following: * **1 Task Capacity** * **2 Stamina** * **1 Carbon Dioxide** * **4 Hydrogen** * **10 Power** ![](https://290879272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRE7Ss7iwx0Rd7OTprzAm%2Fuploads%2FrnGreZRevX0XnTQfU6Jd%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-01-27%20at%201.11.57%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=426a48ce-fbe2-4e7a-be1e-85e3c1bae049) The [**Sabatier Reactor**](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/core-factories/sabatier-reactor) creates a bit of water, but we'll need more later on to create the PVC plastic for our more advanced recipes. You can head over to your [Water Filter](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/core-buildings/water-filter) to produce more water. The filtering process will take the ice that you recovered off of the Mars surface or purchased from any of your fellow settlers and filter it into pure **Water**. You do this process by choosing the task: **Filter Water.** You will need: * **1 Task Capacity** * **1 Stamina** * **40 Ice** * **10 Power** ![](https://290879272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRE7Ss7iwx0Rd7OTprzAm%2Fuploads%2FlU7e1ScWaMrV40cKWDTx%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-01-27%20at%201.12.34%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=a75e491f-40f6-414b-a6ef-f96c418eacfa) Next, let have our [C.A.D.](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/core-buildings/c.a.d) produce carbon dioxide, you'll need this to smelt steel later on: The **Cryogenic Atmospheric Distiller**, will pull air out of the atmosphere, freeze it and then further distill it into its individual parts. For this step we'll be pulling **Carbon Dioxide** out of it. Use the **Capture Carbon Dioxide** task, you'll need: * **1 Task Capacity** * **1 Stamina** * **40 Power** ![](https://290879272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRE7Ss7iwx0Rd7OTprzAm%2Fuploads%2FxsCIqSrM0mHfEjuIfWy0%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-01-27%20at%201.13.31%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=b8707349-030c-4632-b1e4-59276c88a7f6) \ Next, we're going to use the [**Smelter**](https://docs.milliononmars.com/playerguide/~/changes/PuC8cwzf5oWpYdDfvqV5/buildings-for-your-martian-homestead/core-factories/smelter) to smelt out various ores from the **Regolith**, as such you'll want a decent amount of **Regolith** before these next steps.
