small bit of dissapointment as a result the Oasis thing

[orange juice]

The Oasis event thing doesn't count for the milestone about there being liquid water on the surface of mars.
i was a little disappointed, but i expected as such.

Find water on Mars? ^^' Those mini events are completely unrelated, at times I get some that suppose drones are already around when I still don't have landed a rocket yet : /

Wrong, dude.

Oasis is a planetary anomaly, where you have to send a rocket to:

What you're thinking about are probably the story bits? Even then, landing the rocket is literally the first thing you do, and the first story bit triggers after Sol 2 or so.

Back to the issue. The devs likely didn't implement this, or it is broken, because it wasn't tested. It is highly unlikely that you, or a rival colony, won't find any water deposits before Sol 11 (when planetary missions become available), and that the oasis outcome is among the first batch.

I think of "mini events" as both Story Bits and Expeditions, and no, I don't land rocket as the first thing I do. You suck at mind reading by far (and OP doesn't have any issue) : P

Well, that's just plain wrong, those are two different categories. Mini events, aka story bits, happen automatically, while planetary missions (with an unknown outcome) must be triggered by sending a rocket.
And not landing immediately? Why? Waiting for scan results? That's what the probes are there for.

Anyway, the devs likely tied the "find water on Mars" milestone to the discovery of an underground deposit, and didn't even think about that oasis outcome.

Oh, I see. Because I put as another example a generic Story Bit now I'm wrong, gotcha : )
