Description
Planetbase is a strategy game where you guide a group of space settlers trying to establish an outpost on a remote planet.

In the game you play the role of the base architect and manager, telling your colonists where to build the structures they will need to survive. You will have to ensure that they have a constant supply of oxygen, food and water to stay alive.

You will get them to collect energy, extract water, mine metal, grow food, manufacture bots, and build a fully self-sufficient base in a harsh environment, where you are always one step away from total failure.

Even if the game is not intended to be a simulator, all the mechanics are plausible, and based on what the expected challenges of establishing a colony in an new planet would be.
  • Four different planets with different conditions and increasing difficulty.
  • Mine and produce raw resources, process them, manufacture goods, and establish a production chain.
  • Grow your colony from a few initial pioneers to a vibrant planetbase with hundreds of colonists.
  • Mechanize your base by creating your own bots that will help with the more arduous tasks.
  • Survive disasters like meteors, sandstorms or solar flares and defend your base from intruders.

Constraints, constraints, constraints.

If you want a better version of this game go with Surviving Mars instead. The menus use constraints. Instead of leaving the menu when clicking on something else, the menu stays open, does not allow camera movement and whatnot. The buildings use constraints, both in placement as well as in orientation, which is then only applied when you connect something, which doesn't allow for longer tube connections, usually increasing in cost when lng, but not in this game. The either building close together or not should be up to the builder, not a constraint. Also, when placing a building the boxes present should not disallow placement. SInce when was it impossible to build anything anywhere because there's a box of goods in the way. Which brings me to the boxes themselves, which you may destroy, as the only option to remove them, blinking them out of existence, which then oddly IS possible. And there's more, but really, I was hoping for another good base building game, instead the constraints of imaginery kind kind killed it. The better version is indeed Surviving Mars. What a bummer.. (Optically not bad though, and if they ever remove those fugly constraints, it would be a nice game.)

Like Space Colony

Only downside is you can't assign your population to anything in particular. You scream at your screen to get them to make a med pack or repair something. The population is incredibly stupid. Asside from that good visuals and game mechanics

Smart phone level game.

This game has little mechanics in it and only moderate replay ability at best. It tried hard to be really good but missed out. the bad. ai and pathing, as others have said you can have a ton of food rotting in your greenhouse or stores and the peeps wont move it to the vending machine only to starve to death with 200+ units of food in the stock pile. the work force ignores needs and production weighting most of the time. There is very fiew things to place it then becomes a repitition of placing things so you can get 300+population little design thought is needed. the good. it has decent level of graphics for what it is.

A quite challenging time filler

I've played Planetbase for many years now. When I want something for an hour or two which is challenging at the beginning. It does become less interesting as your base grows in size, though the different options you can play are fun when you first try it

Listen to the other reviews - stay away

No fun to play with larger bases: Tradeships are death sentences as the AI has probably no priorities towards staying alive (food, water and o2 needs are seemingly the same priority as working = people just die). Reshaping your Base is a pain in the ass due to the connection mechanics. If you want to get up the sweet new blueprints for energy production you have to build redundant circles. Resource economy is atrocious, you are constantly scraping for resources as you can only passively prioritize the actually needed resource production. This game is easily in the top 3 of the worst (resource management) games I've ever played.
