Our take on Base One

The bounce point is the shift from managing one station to balancing shared power, heating, oxygen, and water across a network. Players who find that resource juggling demanding may hit a wall while also assigning crew and handling threats.

What is Base One?

Manage a fleet of space stations by assigning crew to tasks and considering their traits, perks, and wellbeing.

Balance shared supplies of power, heating, oxygen, and water across the network. Expand the fleet, search unexplored systems for minerals and planets to inhabit, and respond to asteroids and space pirates with artillery upgrades and military expertise. The story follows the Solution program after a wormhole tears the moon apart and triggers natural disasters. Build an expedition, hear crew stories, and explore undiscovered systems. Custom Game mode lets experienced players set campaign conditions and quests. Mac systems with M1 or M2 processors are not supported.
