Planetbase 2 - Europa Dev Update

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to **dev update 10 **(see previous updates 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09)

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3509420/Planetbase_2/"][/dynamiclink] We are now presenting the second world you will be able to colonize in Planetbase 2: Europa

Europa is the smallest of the Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, is a frozen world with a surface covered in vast, smooth ice sheets, which have broken into large plates that have shifted and refrozen.

You will be able to see Jupiter in the horizon looming menacingly over your colony.

Gameplay Challenges

Europa will present an increased difficulty level compared to **Mars, **incorporating new gameplay elements

High radiation

You will have to build protective **Pylons, **that use electrical energy to create an radiation shield for your people to work outside. If you don't people will slowly get radiation poisoning and will require medical treatment or they will die.

No atmosphere

No Wind Turbines, Aerial Drones or Monomer Refinery. You will still be able to make Rocket Fuel using the Hydrolox Refinery that works using H20 instead of CO2 from the martian atmosphere.

Low amount of Sun light

Solar Panels work at reduced efficiency, you will have to focus on Nuclear, **Geothermal **and Fusion Power to survive.

Further distance from Earth

Longer travel times for colonist and trade ships. In Planetbase 2 you can trade at any time, but you then have to wait for the trade ship to come to the colony, in Europa this lag will be longer.

Abundant Ice

One of the few advantages is that since Europa is made of Ice, water is more available, you can extract Ice from anywhere on the surface.
