What is Plan B: Terraform?

Plan B: Terraform is a sci-fi automation and city-building game developed by Florian van Strien. You land on a frozen, barren planet, extract and refine its raw resources, and deliver goods to growing cities across a hexagonal grid.

Population growth unlocks new technology, from trucks and depots to rail networks and atmospheric heaters. Your goal is to warm the planet, melt the ice into oceans, seed forests, and build a breathable biosphere for a thriving civilization.

Plan B Terraform Beginner Guide

A complete beginner walkthrough covering your first landing, resource extraction, city growth, transport setup, and terraforming progression.

1Scan the map and land near iron, sulfur, and carbon so your first truck routes stay short.
2Build extractors, smelters, and assemblers to produce iron ingots, concrete, and mechanical parts.
3Place depots as buffers so assemblers keep running while transport lines catch up.
4Deliver water, concrete, and food to your first city to grow the population past 500.
5Unlock rail, then start greenhouse gas production to warm the planet above freezing.

Plan B Terraform Planet Guide

Compare planetary conditions, world seeds, and environmental challenges that shape each colony start and its recommended strategy.

SeedsAlphanumeric world seeds shape heightmaps, ice caps, and ore distribution.
Ice CapsPolar and high-elevation ice feeds early water supply and later ocean formation.
Ore SpotsBalanced maps place iron, sulfur, and aluminum within short trucking distance.
DifficultyScarce water or distant ores turn a calm start into a logistics challenge.

Plan B Terraform Tips and Tricks

Practical gameplay advice on transport optimization, city expansion, resource planning, and common mistakes to avoid.

DepotsChain depots between factories and transport stops to keep every assembler fed.
One-WayBuild circular one-way delivery loops to prevent vehicle deadlocks at city gates.
BuffersKeep a depot buffer outside cities so rush demand never starves residents.
PacingDo not outpace your delivery routes; stalled cities freeze tech progression.
