Trivia
- Initially, Challenge Mode was supposed to be golf focused, this was changed since it did not fit as a mode concept.[citation needed] Golf mode was finally made in its full glory as a Custom Game mod in 0.6.0.
- The ambience track in Challenge Mode is referred to as "Lunar Factory" in audio files of the game. This may suggest that the Challenge Mode facility takes place on the on the moon orbiting the planet where Survival Mode takes place. The currently unused Straggler audio logs confirm the existence of a moon and a moonbase on it, but the only thing it indicates is that there is a crew present at the base and that communications with it are down.
- In the game files, Challenge Mode assets include water from Survival Mode, currently used in the last 10 challenges of the Master Mechanic Trials.
