Day 1 Planetbase

Planetbase is a strategy game with the main objective of surviving and creating a self sustaining colony on a remote planet. The game was not made to be a simulation game although it is based off of the expected challenges we would face on another planet. 

I watched the trailer and the walk-thru videos. The trailer shows off the different kinds of buildings and how to use the energy sources to give energy to your entire colony. Everything you build will cost materials and you can make things larger by scrolling the mouse wheel, but this will increase the amount of materials needed for making a building. Energy sources will become more effective and produce more energy the larger they are. You are given 3 different bots to help with the construction of your base, carrier bot, driller bot and construction bot.
