Review :
So, this is my review for Planetbase and what I choose to do to be successful in this game. I have played it for a bit and want to give my opinions now. Basically how I start is by making the basics that are essential. The essentials are airlocks, oxygen generator, water extractor, solar panels, turbines and the canteen.
I also have a power collector to store power for the nights with no winds. So after making the essentials, you're going to want to build a water fountain, meal maker and tables in the canteen for food and beverages. After that you want a bio-dome, a large one, for food. You want a large one because it can hold the most amount of plants which means lots of food.
For the plants themselves, I chose the plants that give food instead of trees which don't because my settlers need food to survive. I did hit the very first milestone for surviving a day and I also got the milestone for bringing colonists to my base.
Now, I was going to build telescopes for lasers but something happened to my settlers..... They started to die and eventually, I did get biologists because I was out of food but something else happened... They were getting food from the bio-dome but they stopped storing it in the meal maker for some random reason and since they weren't getting food, they died.
Opinions :
My opinion of this game is that it is not for everyone. If you're the type of person that likes strategy games with settlements and prospering your outpost, then you will love this game. However, if you're more of the hands-on type, then this might not be your cup of tea. You're playing from a bird's eye view and you are basically the god controlling everything your people do. I am in the middle for this game, slightly towards the not liking it though. The reason I do not like this game very much is that it is a very unforgiving game in that if you're not fast enough, your colonists will die. However, it can be fun once you get going. Now, if you don't know if you're going to like this game, just try out the tutorial and if you find it extremely boring, you should move on to other games.
Choices and Predictions :
So, I forgot to make a bio-dome with food in it and by the time I did, my biologists were dead because of starvation. I only had one settler left so I made a landing pad with my priorities set to biologists only. Two arrived but after a while, the food was not being sent to the meal maker so that planet was scrapped. Next time, I am going to try to build the landing pad very quickly after building the essentials so I can get settlers without worrying about my welfare being poor so no one will come. A few tips for you guys when starting your base are :
- Build a landing pad after building a bio-dome and canteen.
- Build a storage for your electricity and supplies
- Scrap your ship if you're low on resources
- Make sure you set your priorities to which type of settlers you want.
- Have fun!
