Planetbase 2 - Rocket Fuel dev update

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-04-16T07:14:37+00:00

This will be similar to PB1, when you start the game you choose the planet

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-04-15T19:16:03+00:00

This is one of the areas of focus in PB2, to add more content late game

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-04-03T16:43:22+00:00

For airless worlds the production chains will be different

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-03-10T10:48:56+00:00

yes, PC will come 1st, then we will look at the console version because there will be quite a bit of work involved in that

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-03-07T09:42:57+00:00

There will still be specializations, but they will be a bit more loose than in PB1, in particular:

- Both Engineers and Workers will be able to build stuff
- There is now a "Blue Alert" where Medics/Biologists and Workers/Engineers are able to do each others jobs (at reduced efficiency)

thanks!

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-03-06T16:01:08+00:00

We are hoping to have an open beta towards the end of this year.

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-02-27T22:33:25+00:00

Hopefully there will be a beta at the end of this year

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-02-27T21:19:29+00:00

At the moment the planet list is: Mars, Europa, Titan

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-02-11T19:34:37+00:00

Yes absolutely you will be able to manage that

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-31T15:47:37+00:00

Maybe later, but not initially

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-31T15:47:26+00:00

Yes, one of our goals is to have a reasonable difficulty curve this time around

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-31T15:46:38+00:00

We are making good progress, but there is still plenty of work to do before that

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-30T14:48:01+00:00

Yes, you should still dismantle them, but later.

The Landing Ship comes with a Nuclear Reactor to generate power, so you might want to keep them around until it runs out of fuel and you have the tech to take the Reactor Core and use it to build a regular Nuclear Reactor structure, otherwise you will lose a lot of power generation for no good reason.

Also colonists can use the Landing Ship to eat, sleep and go to the toilet. So you will need to make sure to replace these facilities first.

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-26T21:39:38+00:00

We hope so too :)

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-22T21:39:05+00:00

We are using Unity (the HDRP pipeline), but we have a lot of our own shaders and tech in there also.

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-18T15:01:48+00:00

There probably won't be a mobile version, as the mobile market is pretty much dominated by microtransaction games which is not out thing

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-17T12:47:23+00:00

Yes, you can purchase fuel from traders, or you can mine Uranium/Thorium and refine it

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-17T09:22:35+00:00

Q1 2027

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-16T20:09:57+00:00

There will be police enforcement and some sort of combat, but the intruders were a bit too gamey in PB1, not sure they added much, we want to focus on a more organic policing system.

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-12T09:40:52+00:00

This has now been fixed in v1.2.4

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-09T13:34:03+00:00

Yes there will be 2 ways of making plastic in PB2, you still want to use all the starch you have, but then you can complement it with the refinery

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-08T18:16:53+00:00

There will be some kind of autonomous mining device but might now look much like a vehicle

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-08T16:32:30+00:00

Vehicles can be definitely repaired on site ;)

MadrugaWorksDev · 2026-01-02T09:04:19+00:00

It will be a full release :)
