Planetbase
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.

Planetbase is a nice change of pace from the usual building simulators as the space environment brings up new challenges.

7.5/10
Planetbase has a handful of minor flaws, but the overall presentation is excellent despite these tiny problems. A fun game for people who like building and managing communities.

Too simple/easy to keep me interested.
As a hardcore player I found this game to be too easy and I had essentially mastered it within an hour. This pretty much completely destroyed replayability for me. If you're looking for a game like banished with the difficulty turned up this is not it, though I don't know which one is harder as I find it impossible to lose in either. Anyways here is the short and sweet of how I felt: Pro: Random maps Survival theme reasonably well put together/interesting no encountered bugs as of the version I played(june 2016) Neutral: music and graphics aren't terrible but nothing great either Cons: Way too easy Everything is the same*more about this below* Building placement is almost irrelevant so you don't need to plan well *Everything in planetbase is the same. When growing food you have a choice between high maintenance and high production foods like tomatoes and low maintenance and production foods like mushrooms. The way the game works is you have a bar for maintenance and a bar for production. As the production bar goes up the maintenance bar goes down and the lower the maintenance bar the slower production goes until it finally stops. Sounds good until you realise that a full maintenance bar is worth 67% of the production bar regardless of the food choice. Considering the production speed is almost identical as well it simply means it's a fake choice and there may as well have been a single "food" pod. This doesn't just stop at food, it extends to power storage and I assume many other things as well. For power storage you can spend two metal to hold 5000 energy, three metal to hold 7500, and five metal to hold 12500. That's right, 2500 energy storage per metal. There are a few minor differences here, like building the 5000 storage ones will give you more redundancy and the 12500 ones will give you better density but since density and redundancy aren't things you need to worry about what is the point in even having a choice? Anyways out of space to write more stuff

Needs to have new features developed
App is dead as no further improvements have been added - more capabilities, new power sources, multi resource mining Mastery is too simple
