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.

no ability to control anything in the game. the workers are beyond stupid and usually do the the least important task first. camera controls are dog water and there are like 5 options total in the settings screen. don't waste your money on this game. buy Stranded: Alien Dawn instead. vastly superior game.
I love this game! I can't wait to play version 2!

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.

Игра неплохая, раньше 1-2 года играл в пиратку, Сейчас спустя примерно 5-6 лет купил лицензию в Steam. Да есть недочеты и недоработки, каждая твоя вроде бы небольшая ошибка - оказывается катастрофой через некоторое время. Играйте, если нужен русфикатор ищите, спольерить сайт без вирусов не буду.
Planetbase hebt sich angenehm von anderen Aufbauspielen ab: Hier geht es nicht nur um Wachstum, sondern ums Überleben. Man muss vorausschauend planen, klug bauen und mit begrenzten Ressourcen umgehen – sonst ist die Kolonie schneller Geschichte, als man denkt. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass das Spiel auch äußere Gefahren wie Meteoriteneinschläge mit einbezieht – das sorgt für Spannung und ein ganz eigenes Tempo. Es ist erfrischend, dass Fehler Konsequenzen haben: Wenn man sich verkalkuliert oder unvorsichtig expandiert, endet das schnell in einem kompletten Kollaps. Das macht Planetbase fordernd und motivierend zugleich. Etwas frustrierend ist allerdings das Einstellungsmenü für die Auflösung. Man muss gefühlt 20-mal klicken, bis das Spiel die Änderung übernimmt, und am Ende springt es wieder auf eine falsche (480p-)Anzeige zurück, obwohl das Bild eigentlich korrekt dargestellt wird. Die Anzeige in den Optionen scheint da einfach nicht zu stimmen – unschön, aber verschmerzbar.
On GOG they have a public torrent, do no buy on here
Це одна з найкращих ігор в своєму жанрі! Але хочу звернутися до розробників! ДОДАЙТЕ УКРАЇНСЬКУ МОВУ У 2 ЧАСТИНУ ГРИ! А всіх бажаючих запрошую на моє проходження гри https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXvO6JEzQAQ
I didn't enjoy the puzzle aspects of this game mostly and probably due to my mind not wanting to learn the game mechanics. And it didn't seem all that interesting just watching the colonists walk here and move there, build this, build that. Not very interesting eye candy goin on. Doesn't mean it's a bad game for you just not the colony builder I was hoping for like something closer in line with Aven Colony. The Menu options are a bit limited as well. Why cannot I adjust sounds and music while in game? And cannot I disable the mouse screen edge to edge movement and why not a simple health stats screen for your colony at the top of in-game UI? I may revisit but for now it's a no-go IMHO.
as other reviews have pointed out, the AI has some pretty serious flaws. the priority system is extremely crude unlike most other games in this genre. you can get into situations where specialized units such as engineers prioritize hauling stuff around the base rather than repairing solar panels which are critical for survival. you have absolutely no way to influence this so you have to watch your colony lose power and get into a death spiral because that box of vegetables just had to be moved right now. lame way to end a 7 hour run. this isn't doing anything that oxygen not included doesn't do 10x better
super poor resource management and AI pathing. game swings rapidly between everything smooth and everything fail. UI is missing a lot of trackers and indicators that are the most important to have.
Эта несложная песочница позволит вам скоротать время строя базу на планетах с разными условиями.. она могла бы стать намного лучше, если бы разработчики не были кардинально против модов. Недальновидно.
