About

Planetbase is a 2015 indie strategy simulation that challenges you to build and manage a self-sufficient space colony on an alien world. You'll guide settlers through the core loop of growing food, harvesting energy, mining resources, and constructing automated bots to expand your outpost. The game blends real-time management with strategic planning, offering a satisfying progression system that keeps you invested in your colony's survival.

With a minimum RAM requirement of just 2 GB, Planetbase is highly accessible and runs smoothly on modest hardware. You can expect solid FPS performance even on integrated graphics or budget GPUs from the past decade. The game's simple, functional graphics mean that achieving 60+ FPS is straightforward on most systems, and it scales well if you want to dial up graphics settings on newer GPUs. This makes it ideal for benchmarking on older machines or laptops.

With a respectable 77/100 rating, Planetbase delivers engaging simulation gameplay for strategy and management fans. If you enjoy colony builders or space management games, it's absolutely worth your time and runs great across a wide range of PC configurations.

Performance profile

Released in October 2015, Planetbase sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

As a strategy title, Planetbase is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — Planetbase runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
