Planetbase 2 Dev Update Details Pressurized Trucks and Hangars
Planetbase 2 developers outline new transport and base features in Dev Update 02. The post highlights the upcoming Pressurized Truck, exterior Hangars, random character models, and natural hazards.
The development team behind Planetbase 2 has shared a second status report detailing recent progress on vehicles, structures, and systems. The latest update focuses on expanding colony logistics and surface operations.
Vehicles and Hangars
A new Pressurized Truck joins the rover lineup, offering greater range and cargo capacity. Colonists can drive the truck without wearing space suits, eliminating oxygen depletion concerns during transit. Hangars arrive as exterior structures built near resource caches and work zones to store vehicles and drones.
Character Customization
Basic appearances for the four main specializations are complete, setting the groundwork for final animations. Characters generate through random combinations of gender, ethnicity, hair style, hair color, skin color, and headgear to produce thousands of visual variations.
Systems and Natural Events
Natural events including sandstorms, dust devils, meteors, and solar flares are in development. Basic dirt roads provide early pathing, while exoskeletons assist with resource carrying. A scan mode tracks surface and underground resources, supported by autonomous bots and drones alongside a tech tree featuring over thirty upgrades.
Why this patch matters
Dev Update 02 shows steady progress on core logistics and survival loops, expanding the sequel's scale beyond the original game.
