Everything you need to know before starting the game.
The Planet Crafter - guide and walkthrough
Map
Map comment
- The map was made at the moment when there is water and greenery, so the starting point is under water.
- Osmium, iridium, uranium is found in caves.
- Sulfur, aluminum on the surface.
- There is also sulfur in osmium mines.
- There is a sandfall to the left of the sulfur field. At its foot, in a cloud of sand, there is a lot of superalloy.
- Shipwrecks not visible on the maps are marked with a marker.
- Two shipwrecks have a fusion reactor - they are needed to open closed doors.
- The abandoned underground base at the bottom right of the map has a false wall, don't forget to take it apart.
Cartography
Mapping works like this:
- We make a microchip - a compass. You have a compass, you can navigate.
- As we pump, we open the GPS satellite T1 and T2 rockets, launch them into space.
- After launching the rockets, the mapping screen starts working.
- The screen shows the map within a certain radius from itself, i.e. for a complete map, you need to put bases in the distance and there the screen will show another part of the map.
- The map is interactive - you can see falling meteorites, your buildings, landscape changes.
Resources
General
- Common resources - iron, titanium, silicon, magnesium, cobalt, ice are scattered around the map.
- As the temperature rises and water appears, the ice will melt.
- Aluminum,sulfur have places of accumulation. If there is a shortage, you can put an ore extractor in these areas.
- Ore extractors produce 1/3 of the indicated resource on average. During the cycle, the extractor may not get the desired resource.
- Blue boxes on locations at the beginning give a good bonus to resources.
- Ore thrown to the ground remains lying on it. In order not to make heaps of ore near the extractors, use a grinder.
Iridium
- The ore itself is rarely used - the manufacture of explosive powder. The main application is the manufacture of rods.
- In the mine, Iridium can be mined using the T1 / T2 ore extractor.
- When using a rocket with protection against a magnetic field, a meteor shower begins. Meteorites contain osmium. We monitor where they fall on the cartograph screen or with our eyes and collect them. If the ore is under the debris - we come later, when the debris disappears.
- It is better to store iridium in rods. They take up less space and with the help of a processing machine, the rods can be turned into ore without loss.
Uranus
- The ore is used to make rocket engines and rods.
- In the mine, uranium can be mined using the T2 ore extractor.
- When using a rocket to pull asteroids, a meteor shower begins. Meteorites contain uranium.
- It is better to store uranium in rods. They take up less space and with the help of a recycling machine rodscan be turned into ore without loss.
- Have an emergency supply of uranium for crafting rocket engines until you have a T2 ore extractor.
Osmium
- Found only in mines, found in blue/gold crates, later in meteor showers.
- Have a stockpile of 3 to build a T2 Ore Extractor and plant it in an Osmium Mine for a permanent source.
Superalloy
- There is a mine for extraction from the T2 ore extractor. The entrance to the mine is three stone columns. In the same mine there is a flat wall with a pattern, possibly a gate.
Zeonite
- The resource appears after the grass stage when terraforming. The root of the earth lifts the stone, under the root is zeonite, white, clearly visible from a distance.
- The resource is currently non-renewable. The main stock to apply to the manufacture of the tree seed spreader T2. Leave 6-10 pieces in stock until better times.
organic
Flowers
- Beans are not used in crafting. Main food.
- Eggplant is used for fertilizer - you need a lot. Zucchini for T2 fertilizer, mushrooms for organics.
- In the DNA manipulator, a screen with crafting recipes is on top.
- The DNA Manipulator does not list a recipe using the Golden Seed. It turns out the seeds of the Pleom tree.
- The sprout of Ormea and Volnus are collected from plants when grass appears on the planet.
- The biggest bonus to ki+ 600% Gold seed gives oxygen from flowers, + 200% from Pleom trees.
- Seeds of Iterra +125%, one of them is behind a dismantled wall on the second floor of the cruiser.
Development
General
- The dismantling of buildings fully returns the spent resources.
- The starting point is in a lowland, so immediately build a base higher or move it so that it does not flood.
- At low levels of food, water and oxygen, there are no warning visual effects - pay attention to text messages.
- Bacteria sample, bioplastic nugget, T1-T2 fertilizer, explosive powder, mutagen and pulsing quartz are produced in the biolab.
- Tree bark - in biodome T2.
- Methane cartridges - in the gas extractor, oxygen capsules are sometimes mined in it. 1 capsule for 20 cartridges approximately.
- To start thermonuclear reactors, it is necessary to make a thermonuclear energy element, bring it and insert it.
Terraforming progress in the current version of the game:
- Lifeless - Blue sky - Clouds - Rain - Liquid water - Lakes - Moss - Grass - Trees - Insects - Fish - Amphibians. There are further stages, but without a name.
Microchip drawings
Crafting from blueprints is not tied to microchips. There is a list from which recipes are issued. Microchip blueprints more recipes. I have 6 drawings of microcircuits from which I did not learn anything.
Meteor Rain
Buildings don't collapse.
There are ordinary ones - in the wreckage of ordinary res, iridium and uranium from missiles, rare with a superalloy. In the terraforming phase, the insects dropped osmium with sulfur.
It rains around the player's location.
Secret cipher
The cipher was solved:
- 672:3:313, under water (if you have the last stages), dismantle the wall in the recess.
We speed up the process
If you are too lazy to wait until the required number of terraforming points is accumulated, you can speed it up:
- In the Planet Crafter folder located at: c:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\MijuGames\
there is a file of your save - .json. - Open it with Notepad++. There is a line at the beginning of the file:
- {"unitOxygenLevel":887620763648.0,"unitHeatLevel":82619539456.0, "unitPressureLevel":41868431360.0,"unitBiomassLevel":41727291392.0}
- These parameters indicate the level of oxygen, temperature, pressure and biomass. Together they give a level of terraforming. By editing these numbers, you can influence progress.
- After changing the numbers, save the file, load the game.
