How do colonists stay alive in Planetbase?

They need a working chain of oxygen, water, food, power, and shelter. A shortage in one link can stop the base, so players must build generators, life-support systems, farms, storage, and maintenance facilities in the right order.

How many planet environments can you colonize in Planetbase?

The game offers four planet scenarios with different hazards and increasing difficulty. The challenge changes with conditions such as storms, cold, heat, resource access, and the reliability of solar or wind power.

What happens when the base loses power or oxygen?

Power loss can shut down systems that produce oxygen, pump water, grow food, or maintain temperature. If the failure lasts too long, colonists can die, so backup batteries, alternative power sources, and resource reserves are central mechanics.
