Start your own colony.

Make notes of the items you choose, the order you place them along with size and quantity.
Play - but make notes of choices especially when you choose to be aggressive versus conservative.
for example - when choosing plants to grow - What is the reason for choosing 1 type over another?
Other than just survival - what is your goal

milestones?
a telescope? (in order to build a meteor destroying laser)

information about game:

Space Colony Survival Strategy!

Watch the video before you start the tutorial – or you may kill your colonists

Trailer: https://youtu.be/NvJr0SN83Zk

PlanetBase is a strategy game where you guide a group of space settlers trying to establish an outpost on a remote planet.

In the game you play the role of the base architect and manager, telling your colonists where to build the structures they will need to survive. You will have to ensure that they have a constant supply of oxygen, food and water to stay alive.

You will get them to collect energy, extract water, mine metal, grow food, manufacture bots, and build a fully self-sufficient base.

Even if the game is not intended to be a simulator, all the mechanics are plausible, and based on what the expected challenges of establishing a colony in an new planet would be.

A little long but gives good ideas and a lot of poor choices:

People die of starvation!

Information about Game Journalism:

Your Job.

GAME JOURNALISM

reveal/preview/review
FROM THE INTERNET: The writer responds to personal experiences presented to them by the game world. The story is not necessarily indicative of the experience any other player will have with the game.

You have been given this new game and told to write a series of posts about it.

The DAY 1 post with the 'reveal'. You write a first impression firstly based on the trailer then another on the walk-thru video. A screenshot is necessary.

The DAY 2 post will be the 'preview'. You will play through the tutorial and write about your experience. Take screenshots to supplement your writing. Afterwards you will also write about the features of the game based on the website.

The DAY 3 post and each day afterwards constitute the 'review'. You play the game. Here you describe how you played the game and how to play the game with screenshots. You give insight in the form of tips and tricks you have discovered. These, in particular, should be accompanied by screenshots.

The more comprehensive the blog post the better the mark.
