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.

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!
Very good game. Simple and fun !

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Planetbase to jedna z tych gier, które na początku wyglądają niepozornie, a potem nagle orientujesz się, że od godziny patrzysz, jak Twoi koloniści przenoszą skrzynki z jedzeniem i… jesteś z tego dumny. Ta gra ma w sobie coś wyjątkowego — prostotę, która wciąga bardziej niż niejeden rozbudowany tytuł. Największa siła Planetbase tkwi w tym, że każda decyzja naprawdę ma znaczenie. Źle ustawisz panele słoneczne? Kolonia zostaje bez prądu. Zapomnisz o produkcji tlenu? No cóż… Twoi ludzie szybko przypomną Ci, jak ważne jest oddychanie. I właśnie to sprawia, że gra daje taką satysfakcję — wszystko, co zbudujesz, jest wynikiem Twojego planowania, a nie gotowych schematów. To, co najbardziej mi się podoba, to rytm rozgrywki. Planetbase nie goni Cię jak survival, ale też nie pozwala się nudzić. Kolonia żyje własnym tempem, a Ty obserwujesz, jak z małej bazy wyrasta samowystarczalna placówka na obcej planecie. Każdy nowy moduł, każdy robot, każdy nowy kolonista sprawia, że czujesz realny postęp. Gra ma też świetny klimat — surowy, minimalistyczny, ale bardzo „kosmiczny”. Nie potrzebuje fajerwerków, żeby budować atmosferę. Wystarczy widok burzy piaskowej, która nagle przetacza się przez Twoją bazę, a Ty modlisz się, żeby generatory wytrzymały. Planetbase to tytuł, który nie próbuje być wszystkim naraz. Jest skupiony, przemyślany i daje ogromną frajdę, jeśli lubisz budować, planować i patrzeć, jak Twoje pomysły zamieniają się w działającą kolonię. To gra, do której wraca się nie dlatego, że „trzeba coś zrobić”, ale dlatego, że chce się zobaczyć, jak daleko można zajść
mauvais gameplay, on ne peut donner d'ordre aux ouvrier, biologiste etc. ils font se qu"ils veulent et ne construisent pas par ordre de priorité, vous perdez un biologiste et ils meurent tous de faim, un ingénieur tout tombe en ruine, et on ne peut rien faire pour contrer, là dessus un météorite tombe sur l'entrée de la station (et je désinstalle le jeux) le début du jeux est bien mais par la suite on n"a plus le contrôle, ni la parade !
no matter what i do in this game everyone dies biolagist r always 1st then workers so this game is crap and there is nor mods that say no deaths and they all starve to death cus they r not prioratized like on other games like when to sleep rest and eat so with that they r pigs and eat whenever they want and the food always runs out so this game sucks big time not recomend for all players
its fun
♥♥♥♥ the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ai, they will asphyxiate themselves WHILE THERE IS OXYGEN IN THE BASE Also this game is so obviously rigged against you, everything will be completely fine and then all of a sudden everything will just dissolve
jeu trop court mais clairement une pepite, hate d'avoir le 2
The AI is j̵u̵s̵t̵ still... atrocious, however... I w̵a̵n̵t̵ ̵t̵o̵ love this game. I enjoy the parts that work. I LOVE the concept. I enjoy the challenge. W̵h̵a̵t̵ ̵I̵ ̵d̵e̵s̵p̵i̵s̵e̵ ̵i̵s̵ ̵a̵m̵p̵l̵e̵ ̵s̵t̵a̵r̵c̵h̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ ̵o̵r̵e̵,̵ ̵a̵m̵p̵l̵e̵ ̵e̵n̵g̵i̵n̵e̵e̵r̵s̵ ̵w̵i̵t̵h̵ ̵z̵e̵r̵o̵ ̵l̵o̵w̵ ̵"̵n̵e̵e̵d̵s̵"̵,̵ ̵a̵m̵p̵l̵e̵ ̵c̵a̵r̵r̵i̵e̵r̵ ̵b̵o̵t̵s̵,̵ ̵a̵m̵p̵l̵e̵ ̵i̵n̵t̵e̵r̵c̵o̵n̵n̵e̵c̵t̵i̵v̵i̵t̵y̵ ̵b̵e̵t̵w̵e̵e̵n̵ ̵m̵o̵d̵u̵l̵e̵s̵ ̵(̵n̵o̵ ̵c̵r̵o̵w̵d̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵o̵r̵ ̵t̵r̵a̵f̵f̵i̵c̵ ̵j̵a̵m̵s̵)̵,̵ ̵s̵p̵a̵r̵e̵s̵ ̵m̵a̵c̵h̵i̵n̵e̵s̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ ̵c̵o̵n̵s̵t̵r̵u̵c̵t̵i̵o̵n̵ ̵p̵o̵d̵s̵ ̵s̵t̵a̵r̵v̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵f̵o̵r̵ ̵s̵t̵e̵e̵l̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ ̵b̵i̵o̵p̵l̵a̵s̵t̵i̵c̵,̵ ̵w̵i̵t̵h̵ ̵6̵-̵7̵ ̵i̵d̵l̵e̵ ̵e̵n̵g̵i̵n̵e̵e̵r̵s̵ ̵s̵t̵a̵n̵d̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵i̵n̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵h̵a̵l̵l̵w̵a̵y̵s̵ ̵r̵a̵t̵h̵e̵r̵ ̵t̵h̵a̵n̵ ̵r̵u̵n̵n̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵t̵h̵o̵s̵e̵ ̵f̵a̵b̵r̵i̵c̵a̵t̵i̵o̵n̵ ̵m̵a̵c̵h̵i̵n̵e̵s̵ ̵a̵t̵ ̵a̵l̵l̵,̵ ̵l̵e̵t̵ ̵a̵l̵o̵n̵e̵ ̵2̵4̵/̵7̵ ̵l̵i̵k̵e̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵y̵ ̵s̵h̵o̵u̵l̵d̵ ̵b̵e̵.̵ Instead, had I paid attention to detail, I would have realized that engineers do not run those specific machines, they run the more advanced ones. Regular ole workers run these machines which I hadn't noticed. After having replaced most all of my regular workers with carrier bots, and the very few workers left, just worked in the "mines" there were never any workers left to actually run the machines. 100% user error. While there are annoying little AI pathing quirks, the game is actually quite enjoyable and can be very rewarding if this genre interests you. I'd scoop it up, especially if you catch it on sale.
Comment être objectif face à un jeu auquel je joue depuis 2020 ? Je n'ai pas arrêté depuis cette date et en même temps comment ne pas revenir à ce banger absolue qu'est Planetbase. Alors oui, il n'est pas parfait et il a certains défauts notamment des situations de blocage qui sont irrévocables et qui mènent tout droit à la mort, un manque de contenu renouvelable une fois la planète finie. Mais honnêtement, Planetbase est un très bon jeu de gestion qui mêle assez bien chacune de ses composantes sans être trop dans la surcharge d'éléments à apprendre et à découvrir. Je ne peux que vous le conseiller. J'espère que sa suite Planetbase 2 sera au même niveau et restera accessible aux nouveaux tout en complexifiant un peu le jeu pour les plus anciens !
