I purchased the First Colony edition plus the Stellaris Dome Set. In GOG Galaxy, if I click on Extras, I see Surviving Mars as well as all of the add-ons / DLCs. They all have "Evans 249143" between the title and the download size. Does that mean that all of these files are already patched up/ compiled to the Evans 249143 version?

The main title in Extras is listed as 5.5GB, but when I did the initial install it was more like 6.6 GB - How can I tell what was installed (version and DLCs)?

If all of the content in Extras is already at the Evans 249143 version, what do we need the patches for? I see 4 patches:
Gagarin D1P Hotfix to Gagarin Patch v3
Gagarin Patch v3 to Kuiper
Kuiper to Tereshkova RC3
Armstrong RC 244677 to Cernan

(no Tereshkova to Armstrong, so there seems to be a gap that would stop you from patching Gagarin DP1 Hotfix all the way up to Cernan)

Are these patches just for folks that bought the game a while ago and do not want to reinstall, but patch instead? If so, can I ignore the patches in the Extras tab, since I would be starting out with Evans?

You can ignore these patches because Evans is the most recent version. Just download the main installer and all DLCs and install them all, starting with the main game of course. The main installer doesn't contain the DLCs.

And don't forget the free Mysteries Resupply Pack if you don't have it already.

This solved my problem n deciding the installatioin order, too.. Thanks! :-)

One question... Do I have to install the digital deluxe upgrade and mystery supply pack before the DLC patches, or does it not matter if I install DLC files first? I suspect I have to do deluxe upgrade and mystery pack first, but want to be sure...

That doesn't matter. The Deluxe Edition Upgrade Pack and the Mysteries Resupply Pack are DLCs as well.

If it helps you, i've installed them in alphabetical order, where indeed the Deluxe Upgrade and the Mysteries Pack are the first two DLCs. :)

Thanks! No need to worry, then.. .:-)

On a different note: May you and all others here and elsewhere be safe in these tough times!
