Will we be able to build bases on planets or in asteroid fields?

[Shimario]

I know we're going to be able to build space stations, but what about ground based bases, or asteroid bases? Would be interesting.

Yes, probably. A boltcrackers episode shows then bolting a small asteroid to a ship, I think you could incorporate one into a station, however asteroids are relatively small espiecially compared to stations. The FAQ mentions that there will be a small terrestrial moon, but it will be extremely difficult to reach at first. I would assume you could build on the surface though most people will have to wait for something that makes the moon more accessible.

@Shimario This should answer your question. In this video you can see the start of an asteroid base perhaps.

Yes to Both.
