New planet - same game
If you enjoyed the base game of Planet Crafter, you'll likely enjoy the Planet Humble DLC. The DLC has a few small mechanical additions - some new ores and a machine for breaking them down into other elements, and some explosive charges to use on things harder to mine. The "story" here is pretty barebones, pretty similar to the base Planet Crafter - you'll find a few scattered messages around the map that don't have any bearing on the game itself, it's just for flavor. However, the enjoyment I got out of the base Planet Crafter game was never in the story - it was about the exploration of different environments, building bases in cool locations, and watching the planet start from a lifeless rock and be transformed into a paradise through my efforts. In that instance, the Planet Humble DLC is perfect for what it sets out to do - it gives you a new planet with a bunch of different cool environments to explore and to build your dream base in. I now have a secret ice cave lair, launching rockets out of a giant ice volcano - very fun. tl dr; If you enjoy the base Planet Crafter experience, aren't looking for major gameplay changes, and are looking for a new environment to explore and build in - this DLC should have everything you need. If you're hoping for significant new gameplay mechanics, this DLC doesn't provide that.
