About

Base One, released in 2021, is a captivating space station simulator that masterfully blends survival and RPG mechanics. Players take on the role of explorers tasked with establishing new colonies in the depths of space, requiring them to manage critical resources like heat, oxygen, and power while venturing into uncharted territories. This unique combination of gameplay elements sets Base One apart as an engaging experience for fans of the simulation genre.

In terms of PC performance, Base One is relatively accessible, requiring just an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 5550 and 4 GB of RAM. For optimal FPS and to fully enjoy the graphics settings, players may want to consider mid-range GPUs, which can deliver a smoother gameplay experience in the expansive environments. Overall, the game runs well on a variety of systems, making it suitable for a broader audience.

If you enjoy simulation games that challenge your resource management and tactical decision-making skills, Base One comes highly recommended. With its intriguing concept and positive reception, it offers a unique experience that appeals to both casual and dedicated gamers alike.

Performance profile

Released in May 2021, Base One targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

Simulation titles like Base One are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Base One; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

Overcome a range of trials in a story-driven campaign set against a backdrop of socio-political drama where special interests and the powerful stand much to gain from the final frontier. Balance each station’s needs while researching and unlocking new technology that will ensure the long-term success and viability of human presence in the region. Outfit stations with solar panels, docking bays, life support systems, and more. Master devices such as probe launchers to gather items out in the vacuum of space -- and keep the crew’s morale up with critical creature comforts like sofas and the ever-useful toilet-shower.
