Breaking Ground or Making History?

[Archimedes4]

I have the money for one of the expansions, but I have no clue which one I should get. I’m leaning towards Breaking Ground for the robot parts and science stuff, but I’m not sure. Any advice?

I think Breaking Ground. Making History added many historic space race parts and a scenario maker but not much else. The Breaking Ground not only adds the robotic parts but also new science parts along with contracts for that science. If that was not enough it also adds anomalies like ice geysers, trees and rocks you can pick up.  Unless you really want to create custom scenario  that other people can play, I would go with Breaking Ground

Breaking Ground has much more playability so that gets my vote.

Have you already bought one? They are on sale right now, so you might have enough for both.

The main draw for Making History are the 1.875m and 5m rocket sizes, as well as the player-created challenge missions (there's a subforum here dedicated to that).

The main draw for Breaking Ground are the mechanical parts, and having more to do on a celestial body than just planting a flag and leaving again.

 

If you asked me, I'd make the player-created missions the deciding factor. If you're into that sort of thing, they will offer you far more playable content than Breaking Ground does. If you don't care for them, then Breaking Ground is the better package.

I got both yesterday because of the sale for 18 € give or take.

I guess I would've decided for Making History only because I'm not into hinges and robotics, but love the 5m parts.

But the EVA equipment looks interesting too, so I'd say why not both?!

BG is on sale for $11 but I only have $10.50 in my wallet.. why cant it ever go below $10?

I think you must buy both or none of them, since one of them is nothing without the other. But if you ask me, I think Breaking Ground DLC is better than Making History DLC.

Breaking ground, because you can get more science.

Breaking Ground because Restock+ adds most of the Making History parts for free.
