Collections
It is possible to create for yourself or see what collections others have created.
In a situation where the number of user challenges is already in the hundreds, and there are not so many good ones among them, the creation of collections is very helpful in finding and selecting the best maps and challenges.
For example, take a look at the collection “Missions on the islands Challenges with ISLAND-shaped maps”

4) An article with useful information about Mods: [link]
For different engines (platforms) for mods, the options for installing mods will be different.
Later in this guide, we’ll go over the different mod installation options for the two main mod engines (platforms for creating and working with mods).
In chronological order, we will first consider the option of installing mods on the JPFarias engine (2016), and then the option of installing mods on the Tahvohck engine (2020).
[Brief instruction]
1.1) make sure the game is patched and the Patcher [www.nexusmods.com]is working. (On the main screen of the game, in the lower right corner, next to the version of the game, “[P]” will be written.
1.2) make sure Redirector[www.nexusmods.com] is installed. (Not all mods need this requirement, but the vast majority).
1.3) download the required mod file.
1.4) unzip and place the mod file in “%UserProfile%/Documents/Planetbase/Mods“.
1.5) that’s all. Enjoy the game!
—————————————————————-
[Additional useful information]:
Patcher and all mods work fine for the GOG Steam Torrent … versions of the game Planetbase 1.3.7. (And for all other versions of the game, all mods work well. The main thing is to install it correctly).
On the nexusmods website, two patchers are now available for playing Planetbase. One of them works, the second does not work.
Use the correct patcher, which was the very first and which still works great on all versions of the game Planetbase.
Here is the link to the correct patcher:
Planetbase Mod Patcher – [link]
You also need to use the correct Redirector.
Here is a link to the correct redirector suitable for the correct Patcher: [link]

If Mod Patcher does not work
If suddenly you have problems installing mods and Patcher[www.nexusmods.com] for the game Planetbase:
The problem of all the people come because some files in the Planetbase directory are flagged as “read only”.
So the Mod Patcher cannot do his job.
The solution is to go inside the Planetbase directory then there to select all (both directories and files) and to look for “properties”.
You will see that the Attribute box is checked in black.
So click the box until it become free then click “Apply” then answer in the new windows “do this for all files and subdirectories”.
Close the property and check again.
IF the Attribute box is clear then you can re-apply the mod patcher, this time it will work.
For those people who got black windows, the best is to un-install, to clean “planetbase” entry with regedit and then to reinstall properly.
Then check the attributes until it is all clear then patch with Mod Patcher.

Thank you for helping to develop the community and the Planetbase game!
The situation with the game and the community of players!
Special thanks to those who create mods, challenges and guides.
I remember the times when our community was much more active and had thousands of active players and countless discussions on the prospects for the development of the game and the creation of mods.
Unfortunately, those days are long gone and now the authors of the game really don’t like the activity of our community.
The authors of the game are against creating mods and those people who suggest improving the game or creating Planetbase-2 or DLC.
There are cases when the authors of the game not only deleted messages, but blocked the players in the Steam forum without adequate reasons. The players who paid them money for their games. Blocked simply because people expressed their opinion that mods could be useful and they would be happy with improvements in the game or the release of DLC or Planetbase-2.
For example, this is how the
The true face of MadrugaWorks company and what they really think of their fans from Planetbase
after I asked them about the possibility of releasing paid DLC, supporting mods or releasing game updates.
The authors of the game not only deleted my harmless messages on Steam, but they blocked me forever. And they also banned me permanently on the Steam forum for no reason yet for their second game, “Dawn of Man”.
The authors of the game do not answer all questions about this, but only ignore letters or delete messages on the Steam forum.
Perhaps the authors of the game have forever blocked me on all their resources, not only because I asked about the possibility of releasing updates or DLC, but also for my participation in dozens of guides, creating mods, challenges, collections and structuring lists of things that the community offers to improve in the game.
I think, like many worthy members of the community, that the authors of the game acted inadequately, blocking me forever and deleting my messages, in which there were no violations of the rules. And I demand that I unblock, or at least return my money for their games and explain to me and the community members why they, without adequate reason, delete messages and block useful people to the community.
We also know more cases when, due to such actions of the authors of the game, many mod creators were forced to stop working on mods and guides for the Planetbase game. The once huge community of the game has now become very small as a result.
If you think the community should be aware of this behavior by game authors, you can comment or like my review of the game on Steam, where I wrote in detail about the situation in the game and the community: [link]
You can also discuss this topic on https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetbase/ or other sites where the authors of the game do not have the ability to delete messages and block users.
For example, here:

- Reddit:
Review from a person who has played 1000+ hours, made mods, challenges and dozens of guides for Planetbase from Planetbase
Once again I thank all active and caring members of the community!
I am sure that history will put everything in its place! And sooner or later we will all find a great game with an adequate developer who respects the players who pay him money.
