First DLC for The Planet Crafter, Planet Humble, Launches October 9, 2024

Space survival fans, buckle up! The first DLC for The Planet Crafter—the hit open-world terraforming game developed by Miju Games—is officially touching down on October 9, 2024. Announced during the Convergence Showcase, the DLC is called “Planet Humble,” and it’s bringing a fresh wave of content to this already beloved sci-fi sandbox.

Let’s be real, if you’re addicted to The Planet Crafter‘s unique mix of exploration, survival mechanics, and planet-building, you’ve probably been itching for new content. “Planet Humble” is here to scratch that itch and push your terraforming abilities even further with new biomes, crafting recipes, and possibly some crucial narrative pieces that expand your understanding of the planet you’ve been shaping. It’s time to suit up for another round of intense resource hunting and colony building.

What We Know So Far

Miju Games has been teasing fans with hints, and it seems that “Planet Humble” focuses on unlocking a whole new region of the planet—an area we know nothing about so far, but from the early artwork, it looks like a stark contrast to the classic sandy wastelands you’re used to. Early images show a dense, foggy landscape with mysterious structures poking out from the earth. Is this a clue about potential past civilizations? Your guess is as good as mine, but it’s sparking plenty of theories in the Planet Crafter community.

There are also whispers of new weather systems and environmental challenges, likely pushing players to rethink their strategies. Will your well-loved base survive in these new conditions? Or will you need to adapt and relocate? Either way, terraforming isn’t just about plants and air anymore—it sounds like the environment itself is going to push back in unexpected ways.

On top of that, the crafting system is getting bulked up with additional recipes that will (hopefully) make all that scavenging and mining even more rewarding. If there’s anything The Planet Crafter nails, it’s the balance between giving you just enough tools to keep improving your survival odds and consistently challenging you to think ahead.

Why This DLC Matters

The reason why “Planet Humble” is significant, beyond fresh content, is that it sets the tone for what’s possible in the future of The Planet Crafter. The base game already offers tons of replayability, letting you slowly transform an inhospitable rock into a thriving oasis. But for many players—especially those who have sunk tens of hours into their carefully designed colonies—it’s all about the long game. With “Planet Humble,” we’re getting a signal that Miju Games isn’t content with just delivering an entertaining survival game. They’re committed to expanding on this foundation with new challenges and lore that deepen the experience.

Not to mention, the community aspect of this game is a major draw. Seeing what other players have built, trading tips online, and diving deep into discussions on strategy are huge parts of the fun. So, you can bet that once this new DLC drops, the forums and subreddits will be flooded with new discoveries, builds, and theories. Get ready to see crazy screenshots of sprawling cities planted in utterly unexpected new biomes.

Pro Tip For Beginners: Don’t Rush It!

If you’re new to The Planet Crafter and considering hopping in when “Planet Humble” rolls out, here’s a tip: Don’t rush your terraform. The game rewards patience. It’s tempting to overextend by building massive structures early on, but focusing on steady resource management is key. Tackle small goals like unlocking basic water and oxygen systems first—your colonization efforts will thank you later. Also, keep an eye on your surroundings. Some of the best hidden resources are right where you least expect them, so make sure you explore thoroughly before moving onto new zones.

With “Planet Humble” coming soon, now’s the perfect time to brush up on your survival skills, or if you’re a newbie, start mastering the basics. Because once this DLC hits, you’re going to have a lot of new terrain to tame.
