So this is basically Castaway on Mars, right?

My understanding is that it's Castaway on mars, like you said, but with some technological and mechanical ingenuity thrown in. I don't know much about it (which I like), but I've seen people say that the story gets into how he survives, including ingenious shite he builds/makes to help himself out.

Or something like that.
