Hi, thank you for making this. I enjoyed this campain a lot. Any chance you making more of these? I'm willing to pay for it.

hmm... If you can't prevent malnutrition, then you probably did the right thing by uninstalling the game. *rolls eyes*

First mission is impossible... they all end up not eating enough variety of food and die, even though they'd had meat and veg since the beginning! Unable to progress any further. Have uninstalled.

@Hotblack Desiato 42 Thanks for the hint. I'll try this out.

@TheCorvusCrow "Either four driller-bots aren't enough or ten days is too short a deadline." Hint: Which of these two do you have the ability to change?

Hello, I would need some help or good hints.
Seems I am stuck with the "Rogue Moon" challenge. I can't mange to obtain 200 ore no matter what strategy I use. Eithe four driller-bots aren't enough or ten days is too short a deadline.
What would help?

Sorry, my bad. I've been using this mod:

Seems like it sets the defaults in manufacturing limits menu to 0.

@miku567 Each challenge has been excessively tested. There is nothing that is "broken". The mission you mention begins with a poorly designed and inefficiently constructed colony base. That is the point of the challenge; to fix what you've been given (i.e. recycle and rebuild) and then tackle the objectives.

Colonists do not simply stop working and stand idle, unless their welfare status drops to amber, or red, alert levels (i.e. the yellow-amber-red triangle above them). If your colonists are no longer working, then you are not meeting their welfare needs.

I liked all the chalenges so far but the mission "a personal favour" is broken - at some point the colosits siply stop working and Idle around forever.

Daamn, finished the 6 Monolith one, did the next one with the 200 ores, than you actually added another 6 monolith mission? Get a life man. lol

Great campaign!

Well, it seems you already thought about each point. I appreciate your attention and I thank you again for such a good contribution to this game!

Thank you for the kind words and advice, @aubesylvain! To address your points, I did attempt to overwrite/update the challenge to correct typos in the text, but it wouldn't take. *shrug* For the second point, I think the player putting two and two together is fine, and perhaps more rewarding than being too blunt about it in the story line. As for the final point, I contemplated a more stringent timeline having originally set the time limits to how fast I could complete the objectives, but that was more a test of my game-play. I was never a fan of beat the clock, so I doubled the length to allow for greater flexibility in player play-styles, plus a chance to recover in case a minor catastrophe occurred. Cheers!

A few minor suggestions:
(1) There are a few typos in the texts (descriptions and conclusions); correcting them would provide a final polish to this excellent mod!
(2) I’m not quite sure but I understand that, when challenges require building 6 Monoliths, these Monoliths represent terraforming infrastructures. If so, it would be better to mention it explicitly in the descriptions. I understood it only during the last challenge, seeing the pattern.
(3) The last two or three challenges seemed not quite as hard as I expected. I finished the last one in half the maximum time allowed. It might be a good fix to reduce the time allowed to finish them but I’m really not so sure on this (I guess some people might prefer more leeway).

This is surely the best Planetbase mod yet! The mechanics are finely tuned, the thematic is engaging and the progression is meaningful. In my opinion, this should be the basic campaign of the game instead of the bland “reach the milestones” default missions. The learning curve is quite steeper but the motivation to achieve each challenge is so much better! If I could pay the creator of this mod to provide an additional one, I would!

The famous saturn mission

This was a great campaign! I enjoyed the balanced gameplay, with a different focus each time. Good job!
I recommend this one to all players who liked the normal game, and finished it.

good. okay.

It means you have 30 days to complete the objectives.

into the expanse- the colony ship is only 30 days behind you. Does that mean survive 30 days or complete it within 30 days?

just finished it :) great job!

@Guddy13, another option to try is to open your profile.sav file for planetbase. (Located in [...]/My Documents/Planetbase/Profile) You can open it in notepad, then look for the string <challenge value="first_assignment" /> in the challenges section. If it is present then the next mission should be unlocked.

@Guddy13, That is odd. I've not had this issue arise. Did you get the objectives complete prompt? (i.e. the one asks if you'd like to continue or quit.) The only thing I can recommend at this point is to unsub and resub to this challenge (and running the game once in between) to see if re-downloading it fixes the issue.

I enjoyed the first challenge but completing all of the objectives did not unlock the next one. I tried playing through it twice and the same issue occurred in both playthroughs, unfortunately.

Thank you!

well i love IT

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. ;)

Thanks! It was well thought out and enjoyable. I would expect nothing less from a "Hitchhiker" fan.

You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanx, dude! I've just completed it.

Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it... so far. ;)

I'm on the 3rd one so far and you did a good job so far :)

Please feel free to leave some feedback. Also state your likes or dislikes about individual missions, or the entire campaign. Cheers!
