# Earning Dusk

Million on Mars is an incredibly addictive simulation of settling Mars in the 21st century. Players start as mere worker-settlers that have only the simplest of scavenging tools and perform work for the land-owning players. With diligent use of the work order system and savvy use of the marketplace these settlers are able to accumulate Dusk in the range of 50-100 Dusk per day. It is common for our Worker players to be able to earn 1000-2000 Dusk in their first month of play.  Each day, Ad Astra Unlimited supplies all players with a free Rations reward that replenishes their stamina so they can continue playing even if they spend all of their Stamina and Dusk.
