In #Planetbase 2 you can add various attachments to the Landing pad that will enhance its functionality
- Resource Storage: Enables Trader Ships
- Propellant Storage: Enables refueling (lowers trade costs)
- Tower: Enables large passenger ships
This is the Propellant Tank, where you can store Rocket Fuel produced in the Propellant Refineries.
Supplying Ships with your own propellant, will reduce trade costs, and increase cargo capacity of incoming Ships.

We've finished the last power generation structure for #Planetbase 2: The Fusion Reactor.
This is on top of Solar Panels, Wind Turbines, Geothermal Plant and Nuclear Reactor.
Each power generation structure with associated mechanics.

We've just finished a new type of dome for #Planetbase 2: The Algae Farm.
This is an additional food source that will increase nutrition quality and add redundancy.

#Planetbase 2 Dev Update 04 is here.
A ton of new stuff this time around: Harvester, Ice Melter, Regolith Furnace, Monomer Refinery and a lot more.

In #Planetbase 2 we will have Radio Antennas and Radio Consoles like in PB1, but we are going have many more types of visitors, each with it's own specific needs and rewards.
This is the new Power Console, where Engineers can monitor electricity generating structures like the Nuclear Reactor, Geothermal Plant or Fusion Reactor. To make sure everything is working correctly.

All the in-game fully functional vehicles so far in #Planetbase 2:
- Rover: Basic unpressurized vehicle.
- Truck: Large pressurized vehicle.
- Harvester: Mining vehicle.
More soon!
Another #Planetbase 2 structure in-game: the Monomer Refinery.
It extracts CO2 from the martian atmosphere, and combines it with H2O, to produce Monomers.
Take these to the Polymerization Reactor to make Plastic.
Monitored from the Industrial Console in the Control Center.
We've just finished a new vehicle for #Planetbase 2: The Harvester. This vehicle can harvest Regolith, Iron Ore, Silicates and other surface materials.
Due to low gravity conditions, colonists on #Planetbase 2 will need to follow a strict exercise program to prevent bone and muscle mass loss.
This week we finished another new structure for #Planetbase 2: the Regolith Furnace
This is a structure, that you get from the start, that can compact regolith from the planet surface into concrete blocks that can be used as building materials
Just implemented one of the most anticipated features in #Planetbase 2...
Mars toilets and waste management:
- Colonists "produce" Organic Waste
- It gets stored and processed
- Colonists use it to grow stuff
- Colonists eat stuff and produce more Organic Waste

This goes over the new new stuff we've added recently: Geothermal Plant, Bio Dome, Gym, Processing Plant components and more.
We now have the Geothermal Plant in game in #Planetbase 2.
- Scan for underground heat using manpower or drones.
- Use Scan Mode to locate the right area.
- Build Plant
- Connect to base
The brand new Canteen in #Planetbase 2, where our colonists can eat their favorite foods, like synthetic meat steak, cricket burger or algae salad.
In #Planetbase 2, the initial and resupply ships, will come equipped with:
- Nuclear Reactor (with some amount of fuel)
- Water Tank
- Eating/Drinking/Sleeping Facilities
This will provide you with some crucial initial support while you build your base.
Dome cameras are back for #Planetbase 2, but now with expanded rotation and zoom controls.
Check out the new models for the Canteen components for #Planetbase 2.
See the new Fridge component. We are adding new resource specific storage components that will allow for more fine grain control over logistics.
#Planetbase 2 will be feature some evolved mechanics from #DawnOfMan.
Things like Scan Mode, Work Areas, Vehicles, Tech Tree, Direct controls and more.

We are overhauling the food production overall for #Planetbase 2:
- New selection of vegetables (that make more sense)
- New food sources: Insects and Algae (and maybe more)
- New recipes
- New visuals for everything
We've done a ton of work on the camera controls for #Planetbase 2.
The way you move the camera is very FPS like, you use WASD do move, and hold the middle mouse button to look around.
#Planetbase 2 will have a completely overhauled placement UI, with clear feedback on where you can build and what you can connect structures to.
It should make planing base layout much easier.
