From Steam reviews

Review notes

Planet Explorers is worth a closer look if you want exploration, base building, solo-friendly, and colony sim.

Best for players who want exploration, base building, and solo-friendly.

Check more carefully if you dislike technical roughness.

It still makes sense as a solo play choice.

Farming, crops, or harvesting are part of the appeal.

Steam review snapshots

What they did have, which is now free, was the single-player software, but without the source code there's no way to make…
Solo-Friendly
the game is a buggy mess.
Buggy
An actually good game, where it really feels like you're building a colony.
Base Building
NPC will actually live in your base adn help you mine, farm and defend.
