Map/Radar
It would be really great if the radar/map could be made more dynamic. When you demolish these abandoned buildings and structures, the corresponding objects should disappear from the radar/map.
It's not as simple as starting out on Mars, where these areas also have their icons. A side mission could improve this. Once you've researched rocket fuel, you could build a rocket to launch a satellite into orbit around Mars. This satellite, in conjunction with the large antennas, would update the radar/map to show these objects removed from the world overview. Naturally, the fog of war would also disappear in these areas. This means that currently, you only ever see a certain radius around the player that isn't black. This improvement in satellite monitoring, combined with the large antennas the player builds on the Martian surface, will allow the necessary data to be transmitted to the satellites. This data will eliminate the black area visible within the radar's coverage area, making structures and other features visible. This is a possible approach, similar to the current system of retrieving 100 probes or dropping 20 resources. These side missions would make more sense. You could also use the Martian to investigate past Mars missions, like the car. The crashed drone must first be investigated through a side mission before you can even build your own drone.
Of course, you don't have to collect probes, resources, or meteorites if you don't want to, but that's not the point. Variety is key.
