# Improving Lands 

In VRMARS, players have a crucial role in turning Mars into a livable planet. The main goal is to build and terraform the land by using resources gathered in the AR system. 

{% hint style="success" %}
**Players need to use the Flame Pistol or Flamethrower to extract "water" from ice caps and the Hose to extract "aluminum" and "iron" from mines.**
{% endhint %}

These resources can be turned into Oxygen Tubes in the Oxygen Workspace, which increase the land's oxygen levels and terraformation index, earning the player Land XP.

Land XP is a measure of how much a player has contributed to making Mars a more hospitable planet. The more oxygen a player produces, the more Land XP they earn. As players accumulate Land XP, they can level up, adding depth and a sense of progression to the game.

VRMARS features a crafting mechanism where players can create workspaces to aid in their terraforming efforts. In the full version of the game, an extended crafting system will be introduced, featuring new workspaces and materials, allowing players to extract and process more resources, further increasing the oxygen levels and terraformation index of the land.

In addition to crafting, players will also engage in research and development to unlock new technologies and resources, upgrade existing ones, and collaborate with other players to advance the state of their colony, in the full version of the VRMARS.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vrmars-3.gitbook.io/vrmars/vrmars-mobile/gameplay/improving-lands.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
