Planetbase #2 : Sandstorm
27While fighting the inevitable power difficulties in Planetbase, our Citizen of the Week finds themselves trapped in a sandstorm, and I for one am not above making references to tired internet memes and the latest box office smash.
Welcome to space, cadets. We're off colonising new worlds, making them safe for good people like ourselves. Part city builder, part resource management... why do we need guns?
Their blurb : Planetbase is a strategy game where you guide a group of space settlers trying to establish an outpost on a remote planet.
In the game you play the role of the base architect and manager, telling your colonists where to build the structures they will need to survive. You will have to ensure that they have a constant supply of oxygen, food and water to stay alive.
You will get them to collect energy, extract water, mine metal, grow food, manufacture bots, and build a fully self-sufficient base.
Even if the game is not intended to be a simulator, all the mechanics are plausible, and based on what the expected challenges of establishing a colony in an new planet would be.
