What you need to run it

At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Planetbase launched on 16 October 2015, within three weeks of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone and Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Game Series. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone, Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Game Series.
