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 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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

Pretty broken. Colonists basically have broken AI. They waste a ton of time being idle, walking around aimlessly when they could be performing tasks. I think the game has actually gotten worse with patches. Here are some wierd issues of many: 1. When colonists build structures they often trap themselves between conenction tubes forcing you to destroy parts of the base over and over again until they build the tube while standing on the correct side of the structure. 2. A colonist will bring a resource to the build site and then go back to the base only to return to build the structure. Basically once the last resource is delivered a colonist is not smart enough to realize it and build it right there and then. They have to go back to the base and then get the new assignment to build it. 3. A colonist will stop work to go get a drink of water at the canteen and then walk back to his work place only to stop working again because now he will go back to the canteen to eat. There is no mechanism to make the colonist eat and drink during the same trip and save them time. This gets even more stupid when you add in recreation because now you added more things they will pause work for and wonder around aimlessly. 4. Food is not very balanced. The two botanists assigned to you at the start have trouble feeding the initial population. Initially they produce a large quantity of food and then as you expand they base they become more incompotent as they become more preoccupied with walking around aimlessly as your colonists starve.
Its actually crazy how this childhood game is still very good till this day! 100% recommend tho, 2nd game coming out soon and probably the same+
This game, I like it! Another!!!
Terrible!
Mise à jour de fin 2025 bloque le jeu. Impossible de le lancer. problème avec OneDrive visiblement
This game is basically unplayable. I can't place anything anywhere, my colonists won't stay healthy long enough to build a med bay, or they die of thirst even though I have a water extractor and water storage. It looks like a fun game and i want to play it, but it won't let me. If you like a civ builder, go play Dawn of Man, it's the same but it works.
