The tutorial

The first thing you want to do is create a way to make oxygen. You can't breathe without it. Once you build the oxygen creator, you'll need to find a way to power it. You'll need both Electricity and water. After you build them, you'll need to connect them all together. To do this, you'll have to click on both of the structures, then click the link image. After you do that, you'll need to make an entrance, that way the people can get to the air. This is also the only way they can get in by the way, so you'll want to make several of these.

There are 2 different ways to get electricity; With solar panels and  wind turbines. You'll need both of them, for each of them will only work at certain times. After that, You'll need to make a way to store your energy, just in case none of your energy producers don't want to work. Next, you'll need to make a structure that makes food. People do have to eat after all. You'll also need to make a place for your people to sleep. You'll also need a place for your people to eat.

You don't have all the resources in the world though, so you're going to have to make a mine to get some of the resources. After that, you'll need to make a structure to turn the ore that you get from mining into metal. Don't forget to add the equipment you need inside the structures. After you do that, you'll have to recycle the ship you used to land on the planet. Why? So you can get even more resources! 

You can also speed up time, so all of your structures can get built faster. It does still take some time to build things, so be patient. Also you can build all of your structures different sizes, but beware, the bigger the room, the more resources it uses up.

After that, you'll also need to make a hospital for when your people get injured. There are asteroids after all! After that, you'll want to make a landing pad, so you can get more people in your base to help out with things. 

The last thing I want to tell you is that if you press the "Page Down" button on the main menu, it will change the background. This is just a little Easter egg the creator added into the game. I think it's neat.

My first impressions on Planet Base

This game seems to be about a colony of people going to a planet with no life on it, like mars, and make the planet a home. You seem to want to invite more and more people into your city and keep on growing it, Just like the Sim City games. There's even natural disasters that can destroy your city. You want to build resources, like food and energy in this game to survive also. You want to make sure no one dies. The more people you have, the better the game is... I think.



Video
I just watched a video on how to play the game and it seems a little bit hard to understand. I didn't know what half of the things he was saying were or how they were important, but there seemed to be a dictionary-like thing in the game anyways so if you're new to the game, you should be able to learn a lot quite quickly. You seem to have to watch out for a lot of things in this game like; What the people want, how the robots are doing, how much supplies you have, and weather-or-not a natural disaster is coming or not. 
 


There seem to be goals in the game. Sadly, most of them look like only short term ones. Which means you'll most likely only be playing on your planet for a short time.


This game seems good, but the whole point of why we are doing what we're suppose to be doing confuses me. Why are we on this planet?
