About
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.
Harness solar and wind energy (if available) in order to power the base's structures.
Grow hydroponic Vegetables and synthesize Vitromeat to feed your population.
Mine and produce raw resources, process them, manufacture goods, and establish a production chain.
Carefully manage the colonist immigration flow to ensure you have the people with the right skills.
Survive disasters like meteors, sandstorms or solar flares and defend your base from intruders.
Mechanize your base by creating your own bots that will help with the more arduous tasks.
Grow your colony from a few initial pioneers to a vibrant planetbase with hundreds of colonists.
Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Xbox, GOG publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

it's a fun city builder.
This is an underrated game that is a steal on sale ! I've already played it 18 hours in the first week, with no time for others. Very atmospheric, and highly recommended. Can see me spending 100's of hours on this, and I'm still only on the first planet, not played any of the challenges yet. Don't wait any longer, I'd say a great game for £10 or less !

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

nice, chill game, don't go away for too long though, you might come bak to a dead colony
I have played this game on and off fo . I have completed all planets and most of the achievements. The game is fun, and I can't wait for pb2 to be out! Be prepared to fail as much as succeed, and make sure that you're following your demands/needs!
The game still works. That's saying a lot! I also love Dawn of Man (which is also built well), and I can't wait for PlanetBase2! These Devs rock!
I really enjoy this game, its very immersive. I was surprised because I didnt think I was going to get into it as it looks kind of dry and usually i prefer things with more varied colour, but once I started, I couldnt stop! The visual details are really nice, for example the reflection of the stars in the galaxy on the solar panels at night are beautiful. Its one of my favourite colonist games now! Looking forward to the sequel :)
Ze začátku skvělé, potom už toho máte tolik že už jen prostě plácáte jedno přes druhé a přidáváte další a další až je to úplně nesmyslné. Žádná hloubka v této hře není.
Игра прикольная но есть большие минусы люди ни ♥♥♥ не чего не делают сели за роботу прошло 5 секунд и пошли отдыхат жрать спать и пить
Nice game! I don't understand much of the critizism - this is a economy game with scarce ressources, so you have to be very careful when scaling up. Otherwise you run into deadly bottlenecks. It's the core challenge of the game, not bad design. Go slow and considerate and you will do just fine.
I said it before, ya cant win, either bad programming or the rng is wrong!
