Planetbase, a colony building and management game like Banished, only this time it's set in outer space
Our final episode of Planetbase, at least for now.  Things don't go well for us, we've left it too late to change things around and try and rescue the whole food situation.  We're going to try a few times to see if it's possible to rescue it, however it looks like we've got some valuable lessons to learn from this for next time!

About the game
Planetbase is a strategy game where you guide a group of space settlers trying to establish an outpost in 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 an 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.
The game is available for PC and Mac on Steam, GOG and Humble Bundle, and also for Xbox One and PlayStation
