So, I picked up Surviving Mars again after a good couple of years (and I played less than ten hours last time...)

I'm trying to remember everything and one issue is confusing me.

I have apparently a cargo rocket and a passenger rocket, but thyey both appear to have the same name. If I change the name of one, it changes the name of the other too.

Is this a new bug brought in by the apparent bug in the tourism update that broke rocket naming or something else entirely?

(I suppose it's possible that it migth be playing up because it's an old save.)


Edit: Okay, partly I Am Dumb, because I haven't played for two years and not for long, the resupply screen is not, as I thought, a list of rockets I OWN (where do I find that out...?) but whether it's a cargo or passenger coming TO Mard iis determined on that screen, hense why changing the name changes both, because it's the same rocket.

(I finally figured this out when I accidently sort of had three rockets in flight and on back on Earth had a different name...) Now, clearly what I need to do is rename some of others so I CAN tell the difference...)

The rockets you have can function as either cargo or passenger. There are not specific rockets for each. On the page where you select whether you want cargo or passenger it shows how many rockets you have available on Earth out of how many you have total.

I figured that out eventually, I was just confused to start with as on checking up, I wondered why the heck I had five rockets (I even only have three landing pads). Seems renaming them while they're on Mars seems to stick best, as well, since I'm not sure it doesn't pick a random one on the resupply screen. Mostly perils of coming in cold to an existing save after two years and only having basically playing it for maybe a day or so then.
