You are sent on a hostile planet with one mission: Make it habitable for Humans. You'll have to survive, collect resources, build your base, produce machines to heat the planet, create an oxygen-rich atmosphere and eventually geo-engineer an entire planet!



Gather minerals and resources to survive. Craft all the tools you need to fulfill your mission. Explore old shipwrecks and ruins and discover a planet full of mysteries!





You'll need a base and all sorts of machines to make yourself at home, and be able to bring life to this planet! Progress through building tiers to upgrade and expand your base and explore the planet further.





See life forms appear on the planet as you terraform it by increasing heat, oxygen and pressure. Witness the first signs of life with moss and insects and unleash the planet's full potential with thick forests and animals.



From chill to hardcore, choose the difficulty level that suits you. Play with starting presets to create new games and experience endless possibilities.

It's a Nice Supplement to Subnautica

As the title says; I was looking for something that gave me the same vibe of mellow crafting and surviving like Subnautica did, with or without the danger of monsters (I wasn't picky). The Planet Crafter is a near-hit for that. Not exactly what I imagine, but it has some good moments, and as the planet reaches each new phase, you begin to see many familiar areas from your earlier adventure in a new light. Definitely worth trying. My only real gripe is the base pieces don't align entirely right. The stairs, for instance, are not the same height as the standard metal boxes. Makes for weird layouts.

Very enjoyable game

In this game, you're send to a planet to terraform it. When you arrive, the planet is a barren wasteland. The game eases you into it with some simple improvements to you oxygen, inventory size, flashlight, and then building a small base with some power and equipment to terraform the planet. You gather your resources from around you, add more machinery, collect more and build more. It's simple and rewarding, especially in the beginning when you unlock new, better machinery quite often. You can explore the world, check out shipwrecks (and there is a reason why there are so many shipwrecks), find rarer materials and unlock more schematics. Later, you no longer need to manually collect all the resources from the ground, but can mine for it. Then you get drones to do the collecting for you and you can focus on... well, whatever you want. As you terraform the planet, it changes, and this is probably the coolest thing about the game, the way the world changes from a desert planet to lush forests and waterfalls. I love the mix of gameplay elements and the way the world changes around you. I probably finished the game 5 times already, and they keep updating the game, even after the 1.0 release, adding more content to pull me back into the game. I really love the soundtrack, or rather, loved the soundtrack, because they completely changed it from early access to 1.0, and I really liked the music prior to 1.0, but now it's a just generic background noise, unfortunately. There are some things not so great, I wouldn't recommend playing it on a laptop without a dedicated GFX card, because performance is not so great on my old laptop. Stuff has a tendency to pop-in and it doesn't bother me on my desktop, but on the slow laptop I had to tone down the graphics a lot and stuff just pops in from a few meters away. Anyway, the game gets a strong recommendation from me, I love this game.
