Planetes invites you into a vast universe where survival, creation, and exploration are paramount. As a player, you'll be tasked with harvesting essential resources to construct everything from intricate bases and advanced spacecraft to vital items. The dynamic environment demands that you protect your creations from other players, either by developing superior spacecraft or fortifying your base.
Embark on an interstellar journey to discover and land on diverse asteroids and planets. Some celestial bodies boast simulated gravity and atmospheres, offering unique opportunities for exploration and resource gathering. However, be prepared for the possibility of crash landings if your spacecraft isn't up to the challenge. Building a functional spacecraft is a core mechanic, but the game ensures that even players who aren't keen on extensive building can quickly get a ship ready for space travel.
