The Task Initiative from Duskworks HQ
From the meaning of the word mission being strife with 16th century outdated connotations, we at Duskworks strive to set forth a new definition; one of progress, meaning and effort to produce something truly a-new.
Duskworks HQ will now be offering missions, from us, to our middlemen and finally to the independent settler. These middlemen will contact you through your terminal and offer you missions or tasks that will help prove to us how good of a settler you are, and yes, there are rewards for successful completion. Along with this, we are introducing a new path for new settlers arriving on the Red Planet, to be greeted by a friendly face that some of you may know.
For all players, there are two different mission categories to undertake at this current time. More will be introduced in the (very near!) future.
Getting to the missions menu is a treacherous trek, one that will take you eons and ages to even come close to, you will have to click the Actions Button and then... the Missions Tab! Okay, maybe I was exaggerating a bit.
Once you're here, click on any of the tasks on the left side and then press START on the right side. That's all you need to do to make your terminal start tracking your objectives, once your mission is finished, you'll be prompted by a pop-up to complete your quest and retrieve your rewards.
Make sure to start the quests before undertaking any of them, or your progress will not be counted.
One section of the missions is the Non-landowner section, this houses five different missions tailored to non-landowners to complete. However, nothing stops a landowner from also completing these missions if they so choose to.
Completing these missions will give you a few more resources and XP to accelerate your needs as a settler! Make sure to check back every so often incase we add more missions!
Landowner missions have been tailored to, well, landowners! These missions all require the heavy use of buildings. (although, you could circumvent it by renting buildings, however there are two tasks that require your own buildings!)
Some examples of the objectives are:
Upgrading and Installing a Building
Running Building-Specific Tasks
Acquiring a large amount of a product
These missions will generally award you a little more than the Non-landowner missions. Duskworks HQ will continue offering more missions as time goes on, so be sure to check your missions menu often!
As always, if you find any issues with the missions terminal, alert Duskworks staff! If you aren't already in our discord, come join us at milliononmars.com/discord

Duskworks Registration Brochure: Credit and Currency
Credit systems on Earth weren't originally designed with Mars accounts in mind, so when aspiring colonists wish to link their Dusk accounts with Earthern currency, they go through interplanetary middlemen. Information on linking these accounts together on your holo-wrist device is avaliable below.
Next, you need to link your WAX wallet to your account in order to use the NFTs. First, click on the profile button on the left (highlighted below.)
You only need to link one WAX wallet -- either a WAX cloud wallet or an Anchor wallet.
After you link your wallet, do a quick logout and log back into your account.
Notice the new icons that have been added to the navigation bar on your player screen!
Once you create an account, you'll be taken to your wax wallet.
Once you have a WAX wallet (and remain logged into it), you can go back to your profile and click Link WAX Wallet to link.
Please note you need to stake some CPU/NET and purchase some RAM in order to do transactions on the WAX blockchain.
Please note that the purchase for buying WAXP varies by global jurisdiction and is beyond the scope of our game. You will need to obtain some WAXP to play the game.
You can easily obtain a WAX cloud wallet and WAX wallet address in a couple of clicks at . Click Wax Cloud Wallet under the Get Started tab.
Duskworks Registration Brochure: Global View
The lack of a Mars's very own Google Earth means that the global view of the new planet is limited compared to Earth's, but increasing numbers of satellites and autonomous exploring rovers will soon fix this issue.
You can access the global view of Mars on your holo-wrist device in order to view unclaimed plots of lands, remote access into far away plots and more. All settlers are equipped with this device in order to maximize the efficiency of our colonization of the sister planet.
Once you've linked your wallet and the game recognizes your Access Badge, you're ready to play!
Click the planet icon in the upper left to bring you to the globe view, and select one of the quadrants on the globe to drill down to the plot view. Try grabbing the globe and dragging, to explore the whole planet!
The quadrants are all named according to the system defined by the US Geological Survey. When you select a region, you can learn more about its features.
Each pin on the map corresponds to an area where there are plots of land available to buy and work. Each plot corresponds to a unique latitude and longitude on Mars, and the terrain is generated for that plot by NASA height map data. Over time, more info will be available about the specific terrain on each plot, in game!
Eventually, once you select a pin on the map, you'll drill down to a local "neighborhood" view of plots. Plots that are red are owned by a player in the game. You can select those and see what is installed and browse their settlement! Plots that are dark are available to claim. Plots that are green are owned by you.
Don't worry, you can play Land Rush without owning land right away!
Duskworks Registration Brochure: What to Expect on the New Planet?
The first step off of the rocket into the Duskworks Terminal, will probably be one of the easiest steps of your life, as you finally embrace the third-of-Earth gravity on Mars. Eager settlers typically start off working for other landowners, preforming jobs in exchange for the propriety currency; Dusk Coins. Colloquially shortened to just Dusk. After the settler has worked for over thirty Sols without using their daily rations, they're offered the ability to earn an accommodation. The accommodation, in exchange for those daily rations and 250 Dusk will allow them to claim a plot of land on Mars for themselves.
From there, the settler turns to landowner and constructs factories, habitation modules, and so on on their plot to become a profitable business on the new planet.
First, you need an account at https://milliononmars.io/ .
After you finish registering, you should end up back at the spinning globe, and you should see your player name in the upper right. If the upper right is blank, you may need to reload your screen.
Duskworks Registration Brochure: Access Granted
Due to the vastness of space and the increasingly common rocket technology capable of going to Mars. Access badges are required for aspiring settlers in order to create a similar identification system that's used on Earth. These badges are purchased on Mars at Duskworks Embassies or from Duskworks Embassies on Earth prior to lift-off. Well-off settlers can also sponsor other people, giving them access packs to alleviate some of the cost of going to Mars.
