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.
Features:
- 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.

Unfortunately like their successor "Dawn of Man", this game's AI is an absolute piece of garbage. The game also lacks terraforming capability to change terrain, as if human being's adaptive creativity never existed. I thought "Surviving Mars" was terrible enough, until I played this game.
its so fun game that you could spend hours on it without noticing
The planetbase must grow
It's like gardening, I enjoy the calm of it. I wish there were more modules and better tech, maybe even a tech tree that you could research to improve power production and better task scheduling for colonists.
I love this game. Challenging, yet relaxing. The music is great.
Fun game!
Super good colony builder, although theres a small lack of things to do and the devs have stopped updating it which sucks
This game game is fantastic.
Can't play it for long sessions, but I keep coming back to it.
Very good Space Base builder, relax, good music
This is such a futuristic colony builder. I keep coming back to play it year on year. Highly recommend.
Awesome thinking game!
I like its challenging brutality even on easier modes. Good resource & strat game,
Highly addictive
Good builder, varying difficulty, several different planet types, def replayability.
fun short colony sim
you have to learn how to get the colonist ai to work. if you spam buildings and stuff without seeing how they respond, you'll end up in a death spiral and get frustrated at them not doing obvious important tasks. but if you take some time to observe them (and plan the base so that it reduces the amount of carrying objects tasks), then they do their jobs happily
great game
i love this game
If you like base building games, Planetbase is nice. It takes a while to master since some fatal issues in your base take a awhile to manifest.
Good game for 75 hours
Fun.
Fantastic little game
Five years later and this game is still quite boring. Constant meteorite strikes and dust storms are annoying, but they are pretty much the only thing that happens. I hate the yellow alert alarm. There is a hint of burglars and raids or something, but I am way too bored to play more to see that.
Pretty simple concept but still challenging, I enjoyed it early on. However I noticed that after a mass death event immigration halts completely I waited 100 in game days and still not a single new colonist ships, I couldn't find anything about it in help menu and eventually had to give up as i was unable to grow my colonies any further. Pretty disappointing in the end.
Good Game
I'm on the fence about this one, so the driving force behind my positive review is that: For all its faults and jank, I had fun with Planetbase (just the base game).
It's rare to find a city sim that's actually challenging or does anything interesting with building layout: Usually you invest in whatever tech lets you chop down woods and tunnel through mountains and build a roughly square grid (if you want the most efficient layout).
Because Planetbase doesn't offer you any way to eliminate mountains, but also requires you to build mines next to them (mines being a pivotal structure), you do have to work out an interesting shape to build you colony in... And as you grow, you really do need to keep track of water, power, and food - colony collapse can happen no matter how far in you are if you expand without thinking.
It's a game I can see myself coming back to from time to time - it's definitely no Factorio, but it's a nice, chill-but-challenging game.
That said - if you get the wrong starting zone, you can be entirely blocked in by mountains that you can't remove and just... have a limitation on how big your base is. The game also doesn't let you build everywhere it seems you should: All you components have to form a single continuous structure, but sometimes it won't let you place a component on flat ground right next to an existing structure. You can't build 'roads', instead you can 'connect' components that are cloe enough and at the right angle... Many times I feel I should be able to connect components but the game disagrees. Also, because your base must be continuous, it's very difficult to upgrade to larger components later on because you can't remove a component if it's between two others. Theoretically you would build with many connections between your components so that removing any one of them wouldn't break everything, but as mentioned above the game can be VERY finicky about what you can connect.
I don't see myself sinking hundreds of hours into this game, but for all its faults I really did enjoy it and will likely pick it up again in the future whenever the mood strikes me. Might even invest in the DLC, even though it kinda feels like early access.
A great game if you want a colony game that doesn't too much brainpower to work out. It doesn't require loads of resource management and doesn't need too much of your attention either which you can happily leave running if you really wanted and not worry too much. (Assuming you have the basics for you colonists set up).
Its a nice little game, most notably for the sound track in my opinion. Its chill.
With that said, I do wish there was more work put into it. I think the game has a lot of potential in all aspects. However the content the game does come with (Without mods or workshop stuff). Is pure quality over quantity.
9/10
This game tickles my brain. If you like Matt Damon, Space, and/or Base management games. It'll tickle yours too. I don't even care much for top-down base management games, but this. this is nice.
Easy to learn, and aesthetically charming, you'll lose yourself in this cute little world. It's just difficult enough to keep you engaged. The UI is easy to use and there are charts that keep you up to date on what you need in your base. It's a lot of fun to keep your base in working order and take the time to make sure everything's placed for maximum efficiency. Try it out, it's quite calming :)
I find that a lot of sim-strategy games just too deep for me. I do N-dimensional planning all day at work, so really deep sims don't actually relax or entertain me. PlanetBase is just about the perfect depth for me: more complex than a clicker ant farm, but doesn't require a spreadsheet to iterate on strategy and make visible progress. I've played this game on PS4, Xbox, and now PC. If they ever release it for Nintendo, I'll probably do another play through there also.
Great game, although the priority system makes metal production quite micro-mangey
A really fun and simple basebuilder that is very much a generic colony sim.
If you wanted to play when it was new, I recommend, but there are better games with the same premise these days.
Not sure why it took me this long to play... I liked Dawn of Man a ton but never looked at this game for some reason. If you like DoM and Surviving Mars, you should love this game.
shits fire ong, typa game to play on da plane or sumthin
if you have nothing to do...
A few hours in and liking the game so far. Taking notes as I go. More to follow.
——Personal thoughts——
I think the devs need to look into colonists algorithm. They glitch out at times & stop working even during a sustainable point in the game. Not all the time but quite a bit. Sometimes it simply happens after loading a previously saved game, other times when you place 1 build down.
Also this game needs some things like a larger playable area & a land leveling tool. Maybe even stackable buildings to increase productivity or living space.
(Right now I place builds & delete constantly to try & flatten areas the best I can).
Nowadays I just create a new colony every time I play because of the colonist issue. I’ve only maxed the playable area a few times.
——That being said——
—— Here’s my other thoughts——
I’d say good enough to recommend, it’s a simple game & fun in that sense. There’s graphics look nice, no artifacts or glitches I’ve noticed on my device. This game runs smoothly, everything seems to work. Most games have kinks that need to be ironed out, in here it’s the colonists having issues at times.
Simple enough playthrough, I think I have most of the available achievements. Probably missed some but I’m not reaching for them I just play the game how I want.
I like the fact this game doesn’t try to force you to level up or get to the next stage. In my opinion it’s a “at your own pace” kind of game. Within reason of course, can’t expect colonists to live without certain supplies.
(This is just a reference to some experience I have with this type of game. So I’m somewhat comparing Planetbase to Aven Colony & Dyson Sphere Program specifically because they are similar build/futuristic type games. I have played many strategy building games like these though. All fun in their own right.)
——Overall——
I think Planetbase isn’t a bad game to have in your library, it just needs a few kind devs to help it out a little. If it’s cheap or on sale might as well pick it up. I have no regrets purchasing Planetbase.
fun and simple
Good funz
I like the fact that it is relaxing yet challenging and ever changing
Played many years ago and the game was fun. Attempted to download and play again in 2024 however at least on macOS which it is supposed to be natively compatible with, mouse input isn't working properly. You have to double click most things to get it to register, however sometimes this is registered as a single click, sometimes it registers as a double click rendering menu and game essentially unplayable. No setting for inputs addresses this.
I went to a planet.
I built a Base.
This game is something i keep going back because it is so good. It has so many elements like the video camera inside a dome or the economy or the invaders. It is GOOD !!!111!!one!!!
relly good game i just love it i started playing bc of a guy called comkean a youtuber it looekd so fun so i had to try it
I love the mechanics and challenge!
Can be a bit of acunt of a game, where you find yourself in situations where your problems are obvious, but you have no exit strategy: i.e. your colonists are picking up injuries, and despite the fact you have plenty of medicine, you can't heal them because your medics were killed in a freak accident. You colony's status gradually drops and drops as more and more colonists get injured, and no new colonists show up as a result... What real settlement would run itself like that? it's shit.
My endless fantasies of becoming a settler on mars were (partly) quenched by this game.
The early and mid-game is fun and challenging but the end game to get to 1000 prestige points is a grind. I usually start a new game around 400 prestige points because it is too boring to gather material for pyramids and monuments. Your base is self-sufficient and working nicely with 150 people so there is not much else to do. Instead of building multiple pyramids maybe add in a theatre building or some other form of happiness and prestige building. At least it would be something new in the base to look at.
I enjoyed this game for a long time, however in it's current state it's unplayable. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, but never get more than about 20 minutes of playtime before a crash.
Planetbase invites players to step into the role of a colony overseer, tasked with establishing a sustainable base on a hostile planet. Combining strategy, resource management, and survival elements, the game creates a satisfying challenge where every choice counts. Originally released in 2015, Planetbase has since attracted a dedicated fanbase drawn to its straightforward mechanics, minimalist design, and satisfying gameplay loop.
Personal Experience and Gameplay Highlights
Planetbase is a really fun and accessible city-building game. What made me fall in love with it was the simplicity of its gameplay. Back in 2015, I started playing it on a Mac, and it surprised me how well it ran, especially considering the limited number of compatible games for Mac at the time. The game performed smoothly, only showing a bit of lag when my colony reached massive proportions—a problem I no longer have on my gaming PC.
The interface is intuitive, with easily recognizable symbols that guide you through creating and maintaining your colony. The color-coded spacesuits are a great touch, allowing you to quickly identify colonists’ roles—guards wear red, biologists wear green, and so on. Building structures is equally simple: just plot down the structure you want (be it a hub, storage, or farm), connect it with a hallway, and expand as needed with power, water, and other resources. Planetbase keeps things straightforward, yet the strategic challenge is engaging, especially as you work to keep up with resource demands.
Tips for New Players
For those just starting out, a solid strategy is to make sure colonists have easy access to essentials like food, water, and sleeping quarters. I once built a layout where my colonists struggled due to the long distances they had to travel, leading to starvation, thirst, or exhaustion. Efficient base planning goes a long way in keeping everyone healthy and productive.
A good way to earn easy money is by growing medical plants and trading them with visiting ships. This resource can be exchanged for crucial parts or robots, making your colony self-sustaining and robust.
Pros ✅
Simple, Intuitive Gameplay: With clear guidance and easily recognizable symbols, managing a colony feels straightforward and rewarding.
Color-Coded Roles: Colonists wear different colors based on their role, making it easy to identify who does what at a glance.
Accessible Building and Connection System: Expanding your base by connecting structures with hallways is intuitive and efficient.
Resource Management: The game does an excellent job balancing resource management with survival, making the micro-managing aspect fun.
Optimized Performance: Even on a Mac, the game ran well, only struggling slightly when colonies reached massive sizes.
Cons ❌
Challenging Difficulty Curve: A single mistake can lead to cascading issues that are hard to recover from, especially for newcomers.
Repetitive Play in the Long Run: Once you've mastered a strategy, it may feel a bit repetitive, even with different planets to explore.
Occasional Lag in Large Colonies: Performance issues may arise with extensive colonies, especially on less powerful systems.
Final Thoughts
Planetbase is an enjoyable, well-optimized game for fans of survival and strategy. The straightforward gameplay combined with the challenge of resource management keeps it engaging from start to finish. While the difficulty curve can be steep, the game rewards careful planning and strategic expansion. For anyone looking to test their survival skills on alien worlds, Planetbase offers a rewarding, if occasionally unforgiving, experience.
I enjoyed it. More simple than Banished. While also getting out of control before you know it.
