How is the end game?

[StaXks]

after you are established? then whatT?

That's what I want to know. The few review that there are seem to be unanimous in that after everything is balenced the game is esentially done...barring a catastrophe event. But the reviews seem to be that it's short and lacks depth post initial build phase.

I want someone else to chime in and say something about it here though.

There really is no end game except building the colony of your dreams.

These type of games tend to not have an endgame.

It's a zen "gardening" experience. You came to the wrong genre if you're expecting 1337 progression ladders and ♥♥♥♥ like that.

It definetly needs more 'flesh' on the bones.

Its a basic game with alot of the right things in place.
But needs more of everything. (which is positive becomes it just means it get alot of stuff right)

Tunneling, finding alien tech, more tech in general, more buildings, perhaps being able to expand back into space or down below.

Game is dlc worthy.

ah, i also noticed its not early access. i guess what we see is what we get.

From watching videos and stuff it seems really short and easy though. As in, you can build all the structures and balance your colony in a few short hours. I know that this is a problem that most city sims suffer from, but some tend to offer a lot more playability before things get repetitive. Anno 2070 for example can offer hundreds of hours of gameplay before you really hit the endgame and maximize everything on a single large map but it looks like you can essentially accomplish that in 5-10 hours in this game.

The challenge of this game also comes from disasters, which can be really brutal on harder modes.

Per my review, I am definitely still finding the game challenging on higher pop levels (took my 8 hours to get a save to 100 pop on the first planet, and there are still a ton of hazards). But perhaps the other reviewers are just superior players compared to me.

What end game, most building/sim type games like this dont have an end game..

[Xaw]

For me it takes quite many hours to establish even semi-stable base. Then I open up starport and visitors/intruders/missions to help people starts appearing. Then it's all about surviving in new situation and expanding so you can actually deal with new situation (intruders kill your people / guards, you need to produce more guns etc), then there's meteors, sandstorms and solar flares happening. Sometimes meteor might hit vital parts of your base no matter how you try to defend against them. Like for me, it was night and colonists went to sleep and telescope's were undermanned. Meteor hit in oxygen generator which were connected to 2 dorms full of sleeping people... they all died (including some most of my guards)... then came intruders and snowball was ready, I was doomed.

That's kinda "end-game" expanding and getting more colonists so you can survive even if something bad happens. If you just build up few vital buildings and think "hey I have 20 colonists and everything is stable! I beat the game!" you have missed point of whole game.

There really isn't enough depth there to provide the kind of end game you'd expect for this type of game.

[Mansen]

I'll tell you when I reach that point (if ever) - So far I have yet to reach even a hundred before some catastrophe takes out the colony (My last attempt made it to around 90 and then suddenly a cascade failure on my power production took everything out - someone forgot to produce spare parts)

Factorio is the only game that i come across with end game condition which you don't need to do it if you wish to keep on going. I wouldn't mind if Planetbase will have end game condition just for score freak people.
