Major Update Multiplayer 2.0 is here!
Hey Astro Colonists!
[h3]The second Major update is here! You can already download it from Steam![/h3]
[h3]What's new?[/h3]
There is a new menu where you can find Player Servers & Dedicated Servers (soon).
When creating a server, you can also protect it with a password.
It really took long to bring the game to the state where all single player mechanics are working in the multiplayer game.
Here are features which got implemented:
It's already confirmed that dedicated servers by GPortal will be enabled soon!
They are making a huge difference when it comes to game synchronization and additional features like joining during the session.
Finally, to celebrate this moment with you, Astro Colony is starting a discount week (-25%).

Multiplayer Menu
There is a new menu where you can find Player Servers & Dedicated Servers (soon).
When creating a server, you can also protect it with a password.
Multiplayer game features
It really took long to bring the game to the state where all single player mechanics are working in the multiplayer game.
Here are features which got implemented:
- In game chat
- Blueprint Designer
- Vehicles Designer
- Stargate construction
- Parallel universes
- Cosmic events (ex. black holes)
- Screen player markers have nicknames, so you know where your friends are
- Independent chunk creation, so each player can explore and discover new planets.
Depending on how far away the generated planet is, it will appear on the map. All planets modified by other players will also appear. - Asteroids for every player - when generating asteroids, the location of each player is checked, so each player has asteroids around him
- Players assigned to their Steam accounts - each player is recognized by its unique Steam ID, so each time you re-join the game, your progress will be automatically restored.
- Each player is visible on the map
- Clients can now join mid-game and progress is synchronized.
Dedicated Servers
It's already confirmed that dedicated servers by GPortal will be enabled soon!
They are making a huge difference when it comes to game synchronization and additional features like joining during the session.
