Day 1: First impressions on PlanetBase.

In this image, it highlights the most important structures to help your workers stay alive for them to continue working on your base as well as a landing panel for more colonist to join in your base overtime. In this game, you start out with a couple of colonist from the beginning and start building your base, however the first thing you must do is build a Solar Panel that collects energy from the sun so the other structures will be powered up. During the night however as it is seen in the video, since the Solar Panel relies on collecting energy from the sun, you need to build the power collector so that the energy will be stored in there, keeping everything running without too much problems being caused. Some structures can be destroyed by natural disasters that appear randomly throughout your progress such as meteorites, but your workers could also be in danger, as they can potentially die by the sudden impact. Workers need food, oxygen, water, and sleep to survive and continue their work in the base, once you build them, you must pay attention to your supplies as your supplies could simply run out if you're not paying attention. If you're low on supplies, you can trade such as for meals if you're currently in need of them. Food in the game is editable, the only difference is that some gives more starch or gives less starch. The goal in the game is basically a sandbox game where you continue to build for as long as you can.
