Astro Colony - official MODKIT finally available

Hey Colonizers!

The official MODKIT is finally OUT!
Prepare yourself to unleash your creative side!

Gettings Started

All you need for modding is Unreal Engine 4.27 downloaded from Epic Games:
https://www.epicgames.com/

and on the same hard drive the AstroColonyMOD project, which you can download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_a7RrhsYSqnMV-JhTC6RtUcS5hPwbkI9/



There are already three MOD examples:
  • Racing
  • Menu Music
  • Cheat Console
and more examples will come soon!

Documentation

I have prepared a very detailed documentation that shows step by step how to create a mod for the game, zip it and then share it with the community
https://bit.ly/AstroColonyDoc

I am also working on a series of tutorials that will illustrate the process in a few minutes.



Sharing your creations

All mods can be uploaded directly to CurseForge platform via website:
https://www.curseforge.com/astro-colony/mods



Soon the modkit will support Steam Workshop and allow uploading them directly from editor.
To interact directly in the game, use MOD HUB [H]



Modkit has 100% functionality of the game, so you can do crazy stuff with it, like:
  • designing new voxel planets
  • creating space stations
  • defining new recipes
  • adding new devices
  • overriding game rules

Please join Discord modding channel where you can share your thoughts and get modding advises.
Expect more announcements soon regarding modding contests.

I cannot wait to see your creations!
See you soon Colonizers!
