GJ - Day 2 - Preview

Hello, today I will be explaining how to set up a colony in Planetbase.

I would probably recommend setting up a medium solar panel, a medium wind turbine, a small power generator, and a Water Extractor. Then, build an Oxygen Generator and an Airlock. This will allow your colonists to breathe. After that, connect a small Canteen to the Generator, and place a 4 person table, a drinking fountain, and a meal machine. After all that, build a Biodome and connect it to the Canteen. In the Biodome, place one starchy plant, two vegetables, and a medicine plant. These will become important later. At this point, your colonists are probably tired. Build a dorm and put 4 bunk beds in it to allow all of your colonists to sleep. Now, build a Lab and place two Tissue Synthesizers and one Workshop. Change one of the Tissue Synthesizers to produce either Beef or Pork so that your colonists do not die of malnutrition. 

I would do things differently than the tutorial, which tells you to place an oxygen generator and an airlock first. This is a bad idea.

Everything died when a meteor hit my oxygen generator and I didn't have the resources to repair it before everybody asphyxiated. If I were to do this again, I would focus on getting resource production and processing up and running as the first priority after my colonist's basic needs.
