About Planet Explorers
✦ AI summary
Survive a crash landing on an alien planet where you must explore, build, farm, and fight to establish a new colony in this massive 17x8km world filled with creatures and secrets. Create vehicles and weapons from scratch, negotiate with intelligent aliens, or wage war against them—the choice is yours as you work toward the ending on your own terms.
In Planet Explorers, it is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explorer, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, build a new home.

- Story Mode – Story mode is the main meat and bones of the game, it is the action-adventure-rpg-somewhat-4X segment, offering npcs, missions, colony building, farming, training, diplomacy, and of course, a storyline that you can follow or ignore. This story features a 17X8km world map with many unique character, landscapes, biomes, locations, and over 140 types of potential enemies. Even though we’ve made it seem like a very action oriented game in the trailers, in reality, players can choose to not fight so much as to just plant a farm, make some food, keep the colonists alive, negotiate with the sentient aliens, and defend the perimeter from the local life forms. That can still eventually arrive at the ending. And yes, there is an ending. Story mode also features coop with other players.
- Adventure Mode – This mode is based on a procedural map generated from a seed. It comes in a 40X40 kilometer map. Players will be able to complete random missions, defeat bosses, dive through dungeons, and explore different landscapes. This mode also features survival and versus.
- Build Mode – In this mode, there are no enemies and an infinite amount of building material. It also currently comes in a 40X40km map. Players will be able to build whatever they want in this mode, including everything in the Creations Editor. Think of this as the perfect testing ground to test everything you build. Or…it’s your place to build your garden without ever worrying about the pesky aliens.

Unfinished and now kind of janky by now standards, it is still a good solid game and they made it free since they did not finish it.1 found this helpful
I understand the devs lost their source code with some server issue, but what kind of developers are so incompetent that their are no backups of their data? Seriously.
Really enjoyed this game. It had fantastic co-op gameplay, and my family and I spent many hours exploring, building, and having fun together. The alien world was both beautiful and dangerous, making exploration exciting. The building mechanics were enjoyable too. They were a little clunky at times, but considering this was many years ago, they were still very impressive. One of my favourite memories was building a house and then creating a miniature version of it to display on a table inside the original. It's disappointing that development stopped, as the game had so much potential. With continued support, I genuinely believe it could have become something special. Even as it stands, it's a game I'll always remember.
this game came out way back, in early access and never actually finished (think osiris:new dawn. devs marked it as finished but it was never "actually" finished). Its okay but full of jank. You can build design ect but its mechanics is terrible compared to other games. Not worth the the money, This is more like of a terrible verson of kenshi (which is a great game) with worse combat and build mechanics. Do not recommend.
Runs nicely, a big world that remineds me of World of Warcraft just without the character creation. There is no Mage, Warrior etc just one type of character. I don't have issues with the game I like it but this is a large game and I was looking for a WoW replacement.
