Astro Colony News

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.

Hey Colonists!

I would love to share with you just a small sneak peek of the upcoming Terraforming update. I am very excited to share it with you! What is coming to the game?

[h2]CREATURES CAPTURE[/h2]

An upcoming update makes exploration more meaningful, where you can find plants and creatures to capture. New Farms and Barns are using provided life and reproduce it over time.

[h2]NEW ENVIRONMENTS[/h2]

The number of available biomes doubles from 8 to 16. Each has its own unique properties, different chances to generate plants/creatures. In addition, new shapes and bigger sizes of planets are available in parallel universes.

[h2]NEW RECIPES / GAS EXTRACTION[/h2]
There are many new recipes and technologies in every universe. This gets us closer to the finals shape of the tech tree. It is rewarding players traveling to the second or third dimension!

[h2]BUCKET TOOL / VOXEL DESIGNER[/h2]

New update brings new tools. For example, bucket tool allows reshaping terrain horizontally and vertically. Thanks to new voxel designer, it's possible to create new predefined voxel shapes to apply on the planets and sharing with community.

As a reminder, Steam Spring Sale just started and Astro Colony has the highest discount since the game release! Don't forget to tell your friends about it!
