# Productivity Score (In Development)

Productivity Score is a numerical value that represents the time and resources spent on developing lands. This score is already a key component of the **Mars Control Center** **(MCC)** and is used to calculate the value in $Mars4 earned from community pool distributions by individual players.

In the 3D game, Productivity Score is used to determine in-game progress. The score contributes to reaching Major and Minor Milestones which in turn provide rewards and unlock new machinery, tools, etc.

## **Productivity Score in the MCC**

* Increased by NFTs owned ([Land](https://app.mars4.me/nft-sale), [Vehicles](https://control.mars4.me/store/vehicles), and [Colonists](https://www.mars4.me/colonists))
* Increased by equipment, buildings and land development
* The proportionate value of your Productivity Score against the total community value determines the amount of $Mars4 earned from community pool distributions.

## **Productivity Score in the 3D Game**

* Increased by NFTs owned (Land, Vehicles, and Colonists)
* Increased by building pieces and their tier with higher tiers providing more Score than lower tiers.
* Increased by building machines and their tiers in the same fashion.
* increased by exploring Mars and discovering beacons that uncover more of the map.
* More interactions with Productivity Score to come.
* Productivity Score unlocks new technologies, machines, and tier levels of buildable objects as it increases through Milestones.

## **Milestones**

Milestones are either Major or Minor depending on what rewards are received upon reaching them via the 3D game's Productivity Score.

**Major**

Major Milestones govern unlocks for colonists on the surface such as higher tier constructions and new craftable machines as their colonies (and their Productivity Score) improve.

**Minor**

Earned every 25 points, Minor Milestones give players a small boost of resources when playing to help them develop their colonies.
