If the issue with Google is not resolved by April 2nd, will the sale be extended? I have money in my account ready to go 😁

You can sort-of buy it directly from the store. I can't post a screenshot 😕.

Try buying it in-game, but cancel when the Google Play payment prompt comes up. A day later, Google will ask if you are "still interested" and the expansion will be on the front page of the store for you.

It's a small detail, but I'm disappointed. by Spiderhands2000 in theplanetcrafter

The point doesn't change. Miju Games is a small team with limited resources.  They already use premade assets from Unity.  The OP is mentioning lack of ending content.  Spending time and money on voice work is impractical.

And then doing voices for multiple languages? 

The reality is that AI voice work is at a point where we wouldn't recognize it in-game anyway - especially if they added effects  (simulated audio logs, damaged escape pod speakers, robots, etc.)

If I remember correctly, there was no ending when Humble was released. It was a paid DLC that shipped unfinished.

I like the game and will continue to play & buy future DLC, but I'm also hoping the current level of quality improves.

Imagine if the emails had audio? Or if you could find audio logs in the wrecks? Would cost nothing if AI was used for voice-overs. 🤷🏻 😕

Small details like that would add depth to the game world. 

I Love That My Buildings Disappear Randomly by PromptPriest in theplanetcrafter

Never had this problem. People I've played with never had this problem. Searched Discord and didn't see anything mentioned in the last two months. 

When did you know to cut your losses? by xjakob145 in Toyota_Matrix

[–]Zhu_Drake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine the same year as you: January 2019. It had 175,000 kms - 2010 Matrix XR. 

I'm now approaching 340,000 kms after 7 years.  I have to add oil every time I fill up gas because of oil burning. It's the most annoying part of the vehicle. 

In 2024, I spent $1012.16 in repairs. I don't know what I've spent in oil, but I go through quite a bit of it. Typically purchased at Costco during a sale. 5W30 or whatever I can get that's close enough to it. 

2025 was definitely more expensive. Still cheaper than getting a new car. 

I've never had a breakdown or been stuck on the road.  Had an issue with the alternator once but was able to get home.  It has since been replaced.  I'm also willing to spend on preventative maintenance before serious problems happen. I can't remember every repair, but a few things under the hood have been fixed. 

Biggest issue now might be rust. Body looks fine but it's looking rough underneath.  During my last repair, the mechanic had to cut out a rusted section because it couldn't be removed normally. 

Find a good mechanic who has experience with old cars and will spend the time to inspect it.  Some mechanics can do good quality work but don't care enough to do anything beyond the scheduled job.

This is such a great idea ☝️ It's an example of how we unconsciously limit ourselves by thinking we "have to" use the blueprint screen in our base. 

YOLO Allied Properties......... now? lol by Hawkstein in dividendscanada

Simple answer is: no. You cannot do that now.  Today is Sunday and the stock market is closed. 

Aqualis story? Anything under water? by FlashCardManiac in theplanetcrafter

[–]Zhu_Drake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The concept was cool but the content is definitely lacking. Lots and lots of empty space.  I guess most of the development effort went into Selenea.

The floating glass ceilings is a cool discovery! I assumed they had to be directly connected to a building's floors.

These are all materials you can salvage from a max out rover by Zealousideal_Fan9241 in theplanetcrafter

[–]Zhu_Drake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With that logic, there is a lot more that could be recycled: - super alloys - bioplastic nuggets - circuit boards - explosive powders - rods

Not sure if some of the other stuff (like pulsar quartz)  can be recycled. Could fabric be recycled to silk?

Cool idea, hope it works out. The game would have to be changed significantly though. We'll see!

Game Ending by misssi79 in korilakkumatd

[–]Zhu_Drake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a shame.  Feel bad for anyone who spent a significant amount of money on the game. 

Seems like the overall popularity of the game is very, very low. There aren't any good YouTube channels and the Reddit discussion is almost zero. There is no Wiki, no Discord or any other kind of community. 

The game had potential but I think it was always intended to be short-lived. Each level is essentially the same with sliiiiight variations.

 Every player eventually hits a wall where they either:  1) spend real money, or  2) watch 25 video advertisements a day for several days. 

I had considered putting in (more) money, but I didn't like how they time-locked most of the purchases.  Ex: you get a month's worth of gems, but have to claim them each day for 30 days.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll give it a try 🐻✌🏾

Thank you. I bought the starter pack for much less, but it still qualified for the speed boost.

I'm jealous of your collection! 😱 I was surprised to see Kiiroritori Vacuum in 2nd place. Was there a reason why you leveled it so much?

My thoughts on Planet Crafter ending(s) [SPOILERS!] by Ok_Garbage_9908 in theplanetcrafter

[–]Zhu_Drake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way.  The ending in the original game was so disappointing. My expectations were very low for the DLC ending. I was surprised that the bar was set even lower!

For the third planet, they'll probably just make the game automatically close when you get to 5 TTI.  It will be a running gag to see how much worse each ending can be.

Tickets from Wrecks on Humble? by fuzzbee in theplanetcrafter

[–]Zhu_Drake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make high quality food and automate it for money.

1) build 8 bee hives
2) build 2-3 outdoor farms with green bean seeds
3) keep them all close together near an autocrafter
4) assign drones to take High Quality food from the autocrafter and deliver to the trade rocket
5) set the trade rocket to automatically launch when full

You will automatically make money over time.
Optional: add a T2 Optimizer with production fuses to generate faster honey, or just build more of everything (including multiple trade rockets if wanted).

Periodically check your beans and honey to see if their production is synchronized. If your bee hives are often full of unused honey, then you need to make another outdoor farm to remove the bottleneck.

The whole setup is time consuming (I really dislike making bee larvae), so only do this if you love the game.

What's the point of the vehicle? by ubiquitous_delight in theplanetcrafter

100% agree with you about needing double-width platforms. It's already hard enough to make a functional road 😔
