Check out the new Bar for #Planetbase 2. Featuring new Drink Machines, Sofas and Decorative Lamps.

This is the new #Planetbase 2 Lab It now features 3 research stations for Medics/Biologists/Engineers. In these you can do Basic research, that will give you dev points to invest in new Techs or commercial research to earn credits. Wishlist if you like! store.steampowered.com/app/3509420?...

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. store.steampowered.com/app/3509420?...

The latest #Planetbase 2 base. store.steampowered.com/app/3509420?...

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. store.steampowered.com/app/3509420?...

#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. Check it out store.steampowered.com/app/3509420?...

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. You can wishlist #Planetbase 2 now: store.steampowered.com/app/3509420

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

All this stuff is already 100% functional in #Planetbase 2 #indiegames

A few screens showing the current state of #Planetbase 2

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

Check out #Planetbase 2 Dev Update 03 on Steam store.steampowered.com/news/app/350... 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.

The new Glass Furnace. It processes Silicates into Glass, that can then be used to build the domes.

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.

We have the new "Carry Heavy" animations in game

Another night shift at the Bio Dome

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. store.steampowered.com/news/app/858...

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 have tire tracks and footsteps in the game.

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.

#Planetbase 2 has a brand new Scan Mode, the successor of #DawnOfMan's Primal Vision mode, where you can see resources, ground heat levels, and other stuff.

We've started work on the new character animations. This is the new "Carry Heavy"

Another #Planetbase 2 colony. See Nuclear Reactor, Batteries, Solar Panels, tunnel, Water Tank, Bio Domes and more stuff. Also check out the tire tracks behind the Pressurized Truck.

#Planetbase 2 mars colony showing, tunnel, Truck, Rover, Hangar and other stuff.

See the #Planetbase 2 Pressurized Truck in action.

The Pressurized Truck is in the game. #Planetbase 2

And now the high poly model for the Pressurized Truck. #Planetbase 2

This is an initial mockup for the Pressurized Truck for #Planetbase 2. Colonists can use this vehicle without wearing a space suit, and use it to carry large amounts of resources over long distances.

Exoskeletons will be making a comeback in #Planetbase 2. These will help colonists carry heavy resources.

One of the many new features we are working on for #Planetbase 2 is Scan Mode. In this mode you can see overground and underground resources in the planet, so you can decide where to start your mining operations.

Just finished the Hangar structure for #Planetbase 2, this where you will be able to store various manned vehicles and drones.

We've finalized the first set of male and female models for the 4 base specializations for #Planetbase 2. We will add more hairstyles and faces, but this gives us a baseline to start working on the new animations.

We are working on the character heads for #Planetbase 2

We've just implemented tunnels in #Planetbase 2 (3D model is WIP). See how the Engineer enters on the right hand side and comes out on the left.

Some new #Planetbase 2 screenshots we've taken for the Steam page.

Random screenshot of the week

We've added some more appearances for male colonists in #Planetbase 2 (more hairstyles and also female colonists soon).
