PBCE Development Phase
- The "PBCE Planetbase Challenge (Mission) Editor" program was created at the end of 2019. In 2020, active testing takes place and user feedback is collected for the subsequent improvement of the program.
- Now (for 2020) the program is actively improving. The author quickly answers and works with the wishes of users.
Language support
By default, the program has an interface with English.
The author is ready to add support for other languages ​​if someone needs it.
From my point of view, in the program everything is intuitively clear, a minimum of text. But if someone wants to, then just let the author know.
Or, if you are good at programming, help improve the program[github.com]!

In-game Challenge interface
What does the created challenge look like inside the Planetbase game?

After you created your challenge (mission) in the "PBCE Planetbase Challenge (Mission) Editor" program, files with your challenge are created in the mission folder which looks something like this:
"C: \ Users \ "NameUser" \ Documents \ Planetbase \ Challenges \"
where "NameUsers" is the name of your operating system account.
(Please note that this is not the folder in which the Planetbase game is installed, but another).

Challenges (missions) created in the "PBCE Planetbase Challenge (Mission) Editor" program inside the game interface will be located in the сhallenge (mission) menu, next to all other Challenges.

Your challenges created in the program will be merged into one company under the name "jPBCE Beta".

WITHOUT STEAM use of Missions
If you are not on Steam, you can also download and upload new missions for the game Planetbase.
The fact is that, in their format, missions are small text files.
You can send these text files to other players without Steam and players can download your missions without using Steam.
To download a custom mission for Planetbase, you just need to place the files with the mission in a special folder for missions located at:
The address where the Planetbase game loads custom missions is: "% HOME% \ Documents \ Planetbase \ Challenges".

An example of how it is possible to upload and download missions without using Steam:
Mission: "Small mountain island":
a) download through Steam Workshop: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2019117460
b) download directly from the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WrmL0f8OX6pJdn2m0DEX2fZ-D9nXQy6c?usp=sharing
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for the "Planetbase Challenge (Mission) Editor":

A1) detailed instructions https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/articles/3

A2) short instruction "ReadMe" https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/37?tab=docs

A3) In very short:
1. Unpack the file,
2. Run it
3. Set up game parameters you want
4. Click Save Challenge

Some parts might be missing but i've got most of it. I omitted some of the components and strucutres as I have not tested them yet. I made this to make designing challenges easy for myself because I enjoy re-inventing the rules of a game. So here's the fruit of my labor. Just move stuff out of the commented areas to turn them on.

Thank you for helping to develop the community and the Planetbase game!
The situation with the game and the community of players!
Thanks to all active members of the Planetbase gaming community!
Special thanks to those who create mods, challenges and guides.

I remember the times when our community was much more active and had thousands of active players and countless discussions on the prospects for the development of the game and the creation of mods.

Unfortunately, those days are long gone and now the authors of the game really don't like the activity of our community.
The authors of the game are against creating mods and those people who suggest improving the game or creating Planetbase-2 or DLC.
There are cases when the authors of the game not only deleted messages, but blocked the players in the Steam forum without adequate reasons. The players who paid them money for their games. Blocked simply because people expressed their opinion that mods could be useful and they would be happy with improvements in the game or the release of DLC or Planetbase-2.

For example, this is how the authors of the game blocked me on Steam after I asked them about the possibility of releasing paid DLC, supporting mods or releasing game updates.
The authors of the game not only deleted my harmless messages on Steam, but they blocked me forever. And they also banned me permanently on the Steam forum for no reason yet for their second game, "Dawn of Man".

The authors of the game do not answer all questions about this, but only ignore letters or delete messages on the Steam forum.
Perhaps the authors of the game have forever blocked me on all their resources, not only because I asked about the possibility of releasing updates or DLC, but also for my participation in dozens of guides, creating mods, challenges, collections and structuring lists of things that the community offers to improve in the game.

I think, like many worthy members of the community, that the authors of the game acted inadequately, blocking me forever and deleting my messages, in which there were no violations of the rules. And I demand that I unblock, or at least return my money for their games and explain to me and the community members why they, without adequate reason, delete messages and block useful people to the community.

We also know more cases when, due to such actions of the authors of the game, many mod creators were forced to stop working on mods and guides for the Planetbase game. The once huge community of the game has now become very small as a result.

If you think the community should be aware of this behavior by game authors, you can comment or like my review of the game on Steam, where I wrote in detail about the situation in the game and the community: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/id/neoriderr/recommended/403190/

You can also discuss this topic on Reddit or other sites where the authors of the game do not have the ability to delete messages and block users.
For example, here:

Once again I thank all active and caring members of the community!
I am sure that history will put everything in its place! And sooner or later we will all find a great game with an adequate developer who respects the players who pay him money.

@Sensual Astrobiologist, yes, by the author of the game, I meant the publisher and developer.
And the authors of the "PBCE Planetbase Challenge (Mission) Editor" and all mods are fans of the game.
The authors of the game stopped developing the game a long time ago and ignored thousands of requests for development of the game. Some moders offered free help with the development of the game, but the authors of the game did not answer anyone, and even some fans of the game were blocked for no reason.
Therefore, the game is now gradually dying and developing solely due to the attempts of several fans of the game to make new mods and challenges.
But without the support of the authors of the game (which, if desired, they could do very easily), it is extremely difficult to improve the game and create, for example, new buildings and objects.
R.4.V.3.N 2022 年 1 月 18 日 上午 6:31 
Thanks for the info. Sad to hear that the authors (I assume you mean the Publisher and Developers) of the game have a limited view of the modding and challenge community that's left for this game.
76561198841904686  [作者] 2022 年 1 月 18 日 上午 4:32 
@Sensual Astrobiologist, thanks for the idea. We will consider whether it is possible to do so. At first glance, this looks like a difficult task.

The fact is that the authors of the game abandoned it a long time ago, and the number of players is decreasing and almost no one creates new tests.
Also, the authors of the game banned some fans of the game who tried to improve the game.
In this regard, now investing large resources and time to develop the game against the wishes of its authors is a difficult and thankless task.
Perhaps we will improve the "PBCE Planetbase Challenge (Mission) Editor", but rather it can be something that does not require a huge investment of time and effort.
R.4.V.3.N 2022 年 1 月 17 日 上午 10:37 
Basically the worldstate overall. A way to show the ground, lighting, etc would be a great way to see what we are working on.

Assuming this is doable. IDK if it is, but if so; it would make the workflow for making maps quicker.

@Sensual Astrobiologist , thanks for the idea. For example, which parameter would you like to visualize?
R.4.V.3.N 2022 年 1 月 10 日 下午 8:13 
Any plans for a visualizer when editing planet params?

add ability to start off with guards or intruders as well as an ability to import a save file for a challenge to begin with a savegame. Allow to specify more than 1 point for sky,light,ambedient light and horizon colors.
