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 game should be renamed "Idiots in space". It's quite boring, but it's an excellent idiot simulator.
Fun and relaxing game !
Love this game, cant wait for PB2

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
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 2,419 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.

Eigentlich ein gutes Spiel allerdings nervt es sehr das wenn Essen benötigt wird sich keiner darum kümmert oder wenn Bioplastik benötigt wird es auch keiner macht aber das spiel ist gut aufgebaut freue mich auf denn 2. teil
cool
Great game, the decision making process and growth are very well balanced. There are some clunky things like sometimes placing buildings isn't the best but regardless it's a lot of fun. Also if you know what you're doing it becomes incredibly easy once you get a foothold. Can't wait for Planetbase 2. P.S. if your colonists aren't eating food, make more mealmakers, they wont eat their wheat raw.
Excellent ! 10/10
Unterirdisch!
great game looking forward to the new one
This is a RARE & ENGAGING City Builder type simulation. So many games just lose me with mechanics OR gameplay. This one here I was surprised how well done both of those aspects are. I chose to get it on steam due to the workshop, yet you can also get SOME rarer mods from Nexus that can take away A LOT of the micro. People complain about the lack of a pause, yet with what I just explained INCLUDING SPEED mods, there is really zero use IMO as those make it redundant. I am SUPER GLAD I bought this, and even more so that I purchased this version/copy :) 11/10
