GJ - Day 2 - Preview

How to play Planetbase and what to do :

1. The first thing you want to do when you land is make an oxygen generator with a solar panel because your settlers need oxygen to survive and the solar panel will help generate the oxygen.
                                

2. Next, you want to build an airlock for the oxygen. You can connect them by clicking on one then the other and clicking on the chain to connect them.

                                 

3. Then you want to build a canteen for your settlers. The canteen is basically the cafeteria and your people need it for nutrition.
                                 
4.  You also need to build a dorm for your settlers to live in and a bio-dome for food and for plants.

                                  
5. Once you build something, you can actually build the insides of it, such as adding beds, plants, etc.

                                   

6. You also need to build a power generator and a windmill because you need a way to generate energy without it being day because solar panels only work during the day.
                                   

7. You will also need a metal mine so you can get materials and resources. A processing plant for scientists and biologists will also be needed.
 

8. Next, you will need a sick bay for your ill settlers and a factory for your resources.

                                  

9. Almost done! You're going to need a lab for your scientists to work in.

                                   

10. Finally, add a landing pad for other settlers to come in and try to improve your outpost on your planet. Also, dismantle your ship for more resources.

                                          

Differences between tutorial and walk-thru :

So, if you're first starting up this game, I recommend playing the tutorial first, then going to watch the video. The main reason for this is that the tutorial actually tells you why you need some of the things. I do recommend watching the walk-thru after the tutorial because the aussie goes in-depth about some things such as meteors and resources. He goes into depth about things unlike the tutorial. He talks about water fountains in the canteen to hydrate your settlers and other cool tips like clicking on your settler to see their needs. If you want more knowledge about the game, watch the video but to get things going, play the tutorial first.

Tips :
Some tips I have starting off are :

- Be sure to build, water extractor, oxygen generator, windmill, and solar panels first because those are the essential things to survive. I died 3 times because I did not have enough things prepared for my planet.

- Build lasers as soon as you can because meteors will destroy your resources and that can eventually kill your settlers.

- Scrap your ship for more resources.

- Change the sizes of your buildings to generate more resources.
