Utopia Colony - Update
Utopia Colony has got an update!
We have expanded the Utopia Planitia basin area with a new large distant area:
Known only as Sector 7, this area has been found to have valuable ore deposits that can be mined. You'll need a Hopper to get there. Upgrade your main base to the highest level and then you will be able to get a Hopper rocket. Check it out:
A fuel consuming beast to be sure, but going forward this piece of hardware will be essential for going to the many new Utopia Planitia areas we will be expanding into. Utopia Planitia is a huge area. With a diameter of 3300 km (i.e., 2050 miles), it is the largest know impact basin in the Solar System. Endless places to scan and mine for ore. Just don't get lost in the "Nowhere Plains".
Also, check out the music.. We have added 4 new tunes in this update!
Please let us know what you think about these updates in the Steam Community Hub... We value all the input we can get, it helps a lot..
Further, Utopia Colony is a part of the Base Builder Fest on Steam this week:
We offer our Base Builder Games at a significant discount during the Base Builder Fest. This a nice time to get Utopia Colony or one of our bundles (see below)..
Utopia Colony will remain in Early Access while we expand the game into new areas in Utopia Planitia. The purpose of Early Access on Steam is to enable game developers, like us, to sell the game while it is being developed and to gather input/feedback from users.
We would appreciate it, and it would help us, if more users perhaps could:
Our intent/purpose/goal with these games is simple.. We want to make Utopia Colony and Belt Colony a fun, interesting, and entertaining series of space mining and outpost building sim games. We need help to make this a reality, and we appreciate anything you can do..
Utopia Colony is being co-developed with another Early Access game called Belt Colony. Belt Colony is kind of like a sequel to Utopia Colony that is set in the Asteroid Belt. Both games share the same back-stories, and are both space mining and outpost building sim games. Co-developing the games is a new strategy or way of thinking, that we are excited about. We think it'll help us to develop, and understand, the games from a broader perspective, when we develop them concurrently, than if we simply develop them one-by-one. We would also appreciate high-level views, feature requests, and opinions regarding both games, in the Community Hub.
We recently made bundles for our games on Steam to make it easier to purchase the games:
It is also possible to buy a bundle if you have one or more of the games from before.
Here are links to the bundles:

Stay tuned. More improvements are coming. We hope to see you on Mars!
