The Planet Crafter System Requirements

The Planet Crafter has relatively modest requirements. If your PC meets the minimum specs (Intel Core i5-2600K, Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB, 8 GB RAM), you should be able to run the game at lower settings. However, for a smoother experience, especially as your terraforming progresses and the world becomes more complex, aiming for the recommended specs is advisable.

The minimum GPU requirement is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB. For a better experience with higher settings and smoother frame rates, especially in the later stages of the game, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB or equivalent is recommended.

The Planet Crafter requires a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. However, 16 GB of RAM is recommended for a smoother experience, especially as the game world becomes more populated with structures and flora. More RAM can help prevent stuttering and improve loading times.

While it's *possible* the game might launch on some higher-end integrated graphics solutions, it's unlikely to provide a playable experience. The game is graphically intensive, especially as you terraform the planet. A dedicated GPU meeting at least the minimum requirements is strongly recommended.

The best graphics settings depend on your hardware. Start with the 'Medium' preset. If you're getting good performance, gradually increase settings like 'Texture Quality' and 'View Distance'. If performance is poor, reduce 'Shadow Quality', 'Effects Quality', and 'Anti-Aliasing'. Experiment to find the best balance between visual quality and frame rate.
