About This Game Planet Nomads is a singleplayer sci-fi sandbox game of survival on alien planets through block-style building. You are a lone astronaut scientist crash-landing on a strangely captivating planet. Keeping your wit together and securing your basic survival needs that include food, water and building material is the best start towards figuring out a way out of this messy situation.Planet Nomads delivers a unique gaming experience by combining building, survival and exploration together to make you feel like a true survivor.BuildingBuilding is the cornerstone of Planet Nomads. What you build determines your survival chances and increases your action radius. Building helps you to progress further and uncover advanced materials. Close to a hundred blocks await to let you create nearly anything your imagination can come up with.ExplorationYou may have explored your immediate surrounding, but a couple kilometers North or South, things are radically different. Multiple biomes cover the planet from pole to pole depending on the climate. Sandy engine blends the biomes naturally, making sure the journey to the North pole is an epic and everchanging adventure.SurvivalSurviving on an inhabited planet is no easy task, but with careful planning, caution and a healthy amount of curiosity, you can do it. As long as you overcome poisonous plants and curious beasts, avoid being slashed to pieces, frozen to death, eaten alive, starved and generally ended.Planet Nomads has been successfully Kickstarted, is now going through its Early Access, and it's being developed and improved together with our growing Nomadic family. You are most welcome to join us.How can a life of a Nomad look like?Day 17Things have changed radically since my crash-landing. During the first days, I was hardly able to get food. Securing every meal was a life or death struggle back then, while now I have greenhouses to produce food for me. The planet felt strangely Earth-like at first, with atmosphere composition close enough to ours so that the suit filters have no problem processing it for me to breath. Then one day I saw a pack of creatures that looked like some kind of armored gorillas. I was watching them for a while when the biggest one saw me. It stood on its legs and started thumping its chest. I got the message loud and clear and quickly departed.Day 21I have a good thing going. I started growing all of my food. I've built a rover and use it to collect resources from nearby mining spots I set up. It's beautiful out here, but it's not like I intend to settle down and grow old. I'm a building a much bigger version of the rover now. With some clever design choices I should be able to fit it with a generator, 3D printer and stasis chamber so it's all self-reliable and caring to all my needs. I intend to check what's beyond the horizon. Maybe there's a way out. Maybe there are other survivors out there.Day 26There was an unexpected turn of events today. The armored gorillas paid me a visit. I don't think they like the mining machines that much so they came to tell me. I thought I could hide inside the base and wait it out, but the beasts started throwing huge rocks at the walls and the walls were caving in with a screeching noise all around me. I fired up the one mining machine I have in my base to serve as a distraction. Luckily enough I scheduled a test run of my new mobile base for this day. It was standing by all powered up and ready. I made a run for it, quickly got into the cockpit and got away this time. But there's no going back now. I'm a Nomad.Hundreds of stories like this await you in Planet Nomads. Come and survive your own.Game Features: completely mineable voxel terrain physics-ruled block-based building actual wheel physics for vehicles, rails, traps and gadgets three types of wheels hover physics multiple biomes based on temperature and humidity Improved animal AI to catch you off guard climate-based creature diversity automated mining machines and production blocks mobile bases survival mechanics embedded to the game's core design constant evolution based on community feedback 1075eedd30 Title: Planet NomadsGenre: Action, Adventure, Indie, SimulationDeveloper:CraneballsPublisher:CraneballsRelease Date: 3 May, 2019 Planet Nomads Activation Code [serial Number] I have been playing this game for around 300 hours. The survival and crafting have matured into a fun and challenging game. You can build almost anything and will get new technologies as you move around and discover wrecks. You can make it low key and fun or intense if you wish. Fun & enjoyable.. Planet Nomads is a sandbox survival game akin to Space Engineers and Empyrion. I will list pros and cons, but ultimately I give the game a thumbs down due to game breaking bugs. The game starts off smooth, but after being in it for 15-20 hours, the UI glitches, random death can occur, falling through your ships\/vehicles may happen, and the game will simply crash. Beyond that, I did enjoy the game for what it is. From what has been stated, the company does not plan to pursue further content development of the game. Cons: -No turrets or mounted weapons.-Only 6-7 different types of creatures on a massive world.-No real danger if you take the time to prepare for extreme cold\/heat. -Animals can't hurt you once you are inside a vehicle or base. -Blocks don't take damage unless you damage them (meaning you have to shoot them, but ram a mountain, and you will be fine).-No space travel, but I never expected this to begin with.-No real end goal beyond building cool contraptions. To be fair, Space Engineers is similar in this regard, but at least in SE you can blow up other ships\/buildings.Pros: -The planet can be quite stunning at times with several distinct biomes.-Plants, mineral rocks, and creature spawners on surface of the world to collect from.-Free form building that has a more intuitive conveyor system and electronics\/power system than Space Engineers. -Nice progression systems with ores being in different biomes, so there is a need to be "nomadic."-Interesting story from datapads of now deceased colonists similar to Subnautica.-Full voxel terrain deformation. The laser gun you are given and upgrades are easier and nicer to use than Space Engineers' drill - However, you can't build any drilling machines beyond an automatic ore pumping block.As I said, I did enjoy playing it, but I often found myself wondering, "Why am I not playing Space Engineers or Empyrion for a better sandbox experience?". First let me point out, yes i am clicking NO on recommending, but If there was a indifferent option i would choose that. But since i dont, No is more valid than yes.Reasons in point form, explaination after.The Pro's: -Little to no bugs.-Solid building system.-Decent physics.-World is HUGE! (aslo a con, reason given below.)The Con's:-World is HUGE! (aslo a pro, reason given below.)-easy to dig up terrain, is required in many aspects, cannot replace or flatten or smooth or slope terrain for driving use what so ever)-single digit amount of total AI creatures, NO humanoid interactable AI what so ever.-AI for combat is almost non existant.-Tool to fight is same tool as digging \/ breaking \/ repairing blocks, making you trash the terrain when trying to target. (actual gun avail very late game)-Driving over enemies kills them almost instantly, vehicles take 0 damage.-Needed resources all over the HUGE! world, but end game vehicle speed at best setup 72\/kph my world dia approx 60km took me hours just to fly around it in a straight line above all trees.-Many parts of the terrain are above 170m world height, which is the ceiling on flying vehicle limit, making you have to fly around binomes, or leave your plane and walk.-teleport system to help with this issue, takes 4 very expensive mats to power per portal location, only lasts for 30 mins, unless you turn it off, but you cannot turn off a teleporter you just came from.-When opening map, it has a random rotation on how it is displayed, making you think you are going west, if you were going east when you looked at map 2 seconds ago.-story is bland and voice acting is little, what voice you have seems like it was just recorded from avg joe.-winch to pull vehciles yanks with the strength of thor, hulk, and superman combined, making it not function as a unstuck vehcile tool)Summary:If you want a game that all you intend to do is build structures and contrapions that do neat and creative functions then this would be fun for you.But if you also want to enjoy the exploration and survival, then dont bother, survival is bascily, ONLY a hunger and thirst system, weather seems to cut threw shelters and vehcile cockpits more than enough to kill you unless using the best end game armor, making you need the prop that takes lots of power to act like a temp buffer zone, which then makes you perfect comfort when near no matter what.Digging up terrain to find resources is fun, but gets boring fast, you often have to try to dig out your flipped or stuck vehicles, but it removes such large chunks, and not smoothly, making it so even the huge 6 foot dia tire types have a hard time driving up a slope you tried to make really smooth.World is HUGE! this is good and bad, good for many players building bases, but bad for single player, as moving around takes forever even with fastest setup possible speed, as exploring this world is dull as when in a biome its all basiclly the same look anywhere in that region, any POI you find after the 1st cluster are just copy and paste ones, after finding maybe 30 of them, the rest are just duds that have no reason but to go there for the sake of going there.Repairing one of the final objects in the story, took me over 5-10 mins of just standing there holding the mouse button watching its 200,000 HP go from 0 to full, and this was with the most powerful repair tool in the game.so, if you want a building simulator, its a good buy, anything else move on.the story feels like they just rushed it with repeative content and little to bad voice acting just to get it out of EA.. Planet Nomads is finally out of Beta! I have 156 hrs of playtime and highly recommend this game to anyone that is into survival builders. The climate, fauna, and wildlife can kill. Craftable ground, water and air transport makes exploration and resource gathering much more rewarding. Gather you food, or hunt it. Gather your water and mine your ores, increase yer skills and discover new technologies, ....but watch yer six!Addendum; The flight physics are still glitchy and your craft will be prone to flipping. Also, I have made mods to an aircraft in an effort to achieve a speed above 72 KPH. The addition of more airblades while keeping weight down had no positive effect on top speed. After returning the craft to it's original configuration, it would only go 52 KPH instead of the original 72 KPH, and developed an annoying side to side twitching.. Masterpiece. NEVER PLAYED A MORE FRUSTRATING GAME. Bad game. Not fun. Glitchy mess. Can't even be bothered to write a proper review for it. Meh.. what a waste of money full of lies get space engineers much better game. As much as I want to love this game, it's not a Space Engineers killer. Needs a few more major updates, then we can try again.
