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.

This is fun and challenging.
The game is very slow, tedious. You can change the speed from 2X to 4X. 2X is standard speed, You cannot control where you land and wherever you land you cannot build on anything but the base level. So far I have been surrounded by encroaching hills on all sides. The placing of structures and their connections are not at all intuitive and you end up sliding the structure around until the game lets you place it. Clearly more thought was put into limiting your play than enabling it, It is playable and I have come across no glitches. It could be enjoyable for someone who likes limited choices and a setup balanced very much against your success.

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.

good
One of my all time favorite base builders. Simple, elegant, and endlessly replayable. You guys do amazing work and we are very excited for PB2!
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 !
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
sehr gutes Aufbauspiel ... freu mich schon auf teil 2
Really fun
Although I want to like this game, I just don't. Unfortunately its not a lot of fun. After getting through the very beginning, which in my opinion is too hard for the beginning of the game, the rest of the game is just a slog. It feels clunky and there is no depth to the decisions or next steps. Others have mentioned the clunky mapping and layout management, but I think the worse thing is it is just not a fun game.
Es ist total verbugt, Ärzte die nicht Arbeiten und die Siedler heilen bzw. keine Medikamente herstellen. Ingenieure die nichts Reparieren. Biologen die keine Nahrung Produzieren. Ständig laufen Sie bei mir nur hin und her aber Arbeiten tut keiner. Dadurch hat man dann Siedler die Verhungern oder Ständig verletzt sind und eine Basis die nicht repariert wird und alles Kaputt ist.
