Hey Astro Colonists!

The game just received the Major Update about terraforming.
To celebrate it with Our community, I decided to stream the game, where I am progressing far enough to show the new content. This time I will not start from the beginning, but I will try to show a little bit of advanced progression, getting into next universe and capturing some creatures!

Happy Easter Colonists!

Finally, the much-awaited major update on terraforming and progression is here!
The most recent update is available on Steam!

Here is a brief rundown of the newest developments in Astro Colony:

[h2]VOXEL DESIGNER[/h2]


Thanks to new Voxel Designer and Blueprint Voxel Tools, you may now freely shape, alter, and build new forms for the ground, customizing your Colony's features

[h2]ANIMALS CAPTURE[/h2]

The system of farming and breeding is now more challenging: both plants and creatures have to be harvested and captured on planets. That’s why now traveling and exploring new environments is extremely important.

[h2]NEW RESOURCES - GAS[/h2]

One of the new resources included in the update is gas from geysers – to be found on planets - which should be extracted and stored using the appropriate equipment.

[h2]NEW PROGRESSION[/h2]

As you advance in the Tech Tree, you will see that new technologies are reveled, so crossing Stargate to reach the next universe has become important to progress and unlock new content. Because of this, the game's progression pace has also been rebalanced.

[h2]HAPPY EASTER - SALES[/h2]
