Petit Planet Final Beta: Radial Menu and Base Design Guide

To manage your home base efficiently during the Petit Planet Final Beta, set up your radial menu shortcuts for gathering tools, then place functional crafting and storage structures before adding decorative items.

Configuring the Radial Menu Shortcuts

The radial menu handles active inventory navigation, quick actions, and expressions. Assign your tools and shortcuts to this menu to avoid searching through standard inventory sub-menus while exploring or building.

• Primary Tool Slots: Assign your most frequently used gathering tools to the main slots for immediate access across different biomes.
• Expression Shortcuts: Map common social expressions to a reserved section of the wheel to respond quickly when meeting other players in social hubs.
• Storage and Backpack Access: Use the menu's direct inventory shortcuts to open storage units or your backpack without opening full system menus.

Base Building and Grid Placement Order

Base customization uses a grid-based placement system with tools to rotate, move, and layer objects. Building your home layout in a structured order prevents space constraints and ensures visitors can navigate the area easily.

1. Position Core Functional Items First: Place crafting stations and storage units before setting down decorative furniture.
2. Clear Central Floor Space: Use the rotation tool to align large items, crafting tables, and storage chests flat against walls or into corners.
3. Layer Decorative Elements: Fill out the remaining space with furniture categories from the build menu once walk paths are clear.
4. Build Communal Gathering Areas: Set up seating sections and activity zones to give visiting players places to interact.

Avatar Customization and Planet Visiting

Character features and social connections directly affect how you navigate social hubs during the beta.

Updating Character Cosmetics

Open the character customization menu to adjust facial features, hairstyles, and clothing. You can swap these options at any time during active play. Revisit this menu whenever you complete activity milestones or unlock new cosmetic rewards to adjust your look for crowded player zones and NPC interactions.

Navigating Community Planets

Open the social interface to travel directly between different player planets. Visiting other bases lets you inspect high-traffic layouts, observe different furniture combinations, and find functional space solutions to apply to your own home grid. Host visitors on your own planet to build community connections and encourage reciprocal visits.
