Colonizing Mars should start with establishing an industrial base. A large 500MW Thorium power plant using in Molten Salt reactor. Or using a large version of black light powers plasma power. Then a large electric smelter plant all in prefabricated to be assembled. Mine prefab module that uses an auger to pull up ores that drills deep and wide on an arm that rotates. Then extractors using tubes and augers are placed to pull up ore to load 1000 kilogram trucks powered by electric. With a range of 300 miles. The trucks dump ore at the smelter, then the ore is auto loaded into the smelter by belts or other means. Metals goes into metal storage whorehouses that hold 20,000 kilograms of metal. Common and Rare metals could be a specification for metal separation and storage. Aquaponic farms could grow fish and hydroponic plants. The waste water of the fish fertilizes the plants while the plant beds clean the water. The fish could be fed fish waste or soy pellets. Large 100 person residential housing would be set up like a air tight apartment complex windows could be transparent aluminum. Or some prefab kit to be assembled by a construction vehicle. The command and control center could run the automated vehicles and make 50 mega watts of power from a small power plant. Waste plant converts urine into hydrogen and chemicals, have an anaerobic processor to convert poop into methane and soil enrichment for hydroponic farms. Waste water could be reprocessed to water hydroponic farms. The hydroponic farms would convert Carbon dioxide back into oxygen. Water could be cleaned by backed ceramic pellets as carbon filters. Then a basic lab could be built to advance research, a university to train scientist, and a nursery to provide day care for children. A recreation facility for people to relax. The building could be connected by underground tubes that would work for sewage, air and traffic of smaller vehicles as well as clean water Hospitals to treat up to 50 patients, Garbage ore recycling plant to recycle any polymers and metals and other materials. Chemical plant to make polymers. Algae farms to make oils to be converted into plastics and composite materials. Vehicle factories to make trucks and other vehicles. Factory would make prefab modules for new buildings using automated machinery that could be adjusted to make any type of new building. Consumer fab would be an eletronics plant that would make all sorts of eletronics as well as clothing from an idustrial hemp at any green house. Wharehouses could also store dehydrated foods and raw materials it may be nesesary to grow trees for materials as well as bamboo for construction and or building or clothing materials as well as chemicals. Batteries could be advanced Aluminum nickel or aluminum copper polymerized sulfate batteries. Labratory to do more advanced research and make new technologies. Advanced lab would be a hot lab with dangerous experiments and automated controls to minimize risk to people. Water could also be mined by mobile trucks that cover a spot of moisture and heat it up and condense the vapors. Just colony ideas. I also based some of it on Outpost and outpost 2 pc games.
