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.

Needs more granular control over resources.
Physics? Never heard of her. I spent two hours trying to jump over a wall that wasn't there and accidentally clipped into the emotional void of my own soul. I found a glitch that turned me into a god for four seconds. Then I died to a bush. Best experience of my life.

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 2,400 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.

Me: Lands on a new world. Quickly sets up a base before night falls. All my colonists almost die from lack of oxygen from power running out. Daytime arrives and I barely survive. Base grows exponentially overtime and have almost beat the game. Within 1 hour, 3 meteors destroy my power supply, a solar flare kills my other colonists stuck outside, and the cherry on top with pirates surrounding the base and stopping any chance of repairs. My whole colony is destroyed. Repeat the cycle because its fun. Absolute cinema.
As other reviews have stated, the AI for this makes the game unplayable at this junction. Easiest planet is so unforgiving it's absurd. Like the others I've played just over the refund point for this game and it was not pleasant. Started over more times than should be necessary in such a short period hoping it was the location that I was starting, or the build sequence that I was employing, or the resource prioritization, or etc etc. I am envious of people who can succeed with this game, but it seems the positive reviews are more of the potential or concept and not of the current playability which speaks volumes. [b] Even with all this my GREATEST complaint is that there is no PAUSE to strategize or plot out building placement which IMO is absolutely ridiculous. [/b]
Симулятор иланшмаска? Каво, почему продолжение в 2027 ало быстрее делайте
从小学开始接触这个游戏，现在上大学了接着玩，没想到快出2了
Ну что сказать про игру. Кто любит сложноватые строительные выживалки, то советую. Графика в игре приятная, но конечно не супер реализм, но для данного типа пойдет. В общем можно поиграть на досуге, если сложностей не боитесь.
Русский язык присутствует)
An enjoyable colony sim, with reasonably deep mechanics, without being overwhelming. Easy to pick up the basics with a high skill ceiling.
