Astro Colony News

Merry Christmas Colonists!

Finally, content update is here! You can grab the latest changes on Steam!
I am very excited to present them below!

[h2]BALANCE[/h2]
Every single technology in the tech tree got re-balanced, so check how it works for you!
The game should be more challenging, but also more focused on automation. Basic science can also be automated with mining, including drills. I hope it is not too hard. You will need to scale your station a little bit before moving to the next technology.

[h2]NEW TOOLS[/h2]

The new radial menu simplifies tools selection. New tools for extraction, movement and terrain modification are implemented. More are coming for Terraforming update!

[h2]NEW HAND CRAFTING[/h2]

The interaction with hand crafting recipes is now simplified. Each recipe is directly accessible in the menu. Select the multiplication button before pressing recipe to craft x1, x5 or x25 items!

[h2]REAL AUTOPILOT[/h2]

Autopilot before the update allowed you to control all thrusters at once, selecting the direction you want to move. You had to be very precise to match station velocity to reach planets.
With the new Autopilot technology, you can simply pick stations/planets to go there!

[h2]STARGATE STATION TRAVEL[/h2]

It's now possible to take space station to another dimension!
Before going though the Stargate you have the choice to leave it behind or bring it with you!

[h2]IMPROVED LOGIC[/h2]
Timer pusher is now improved, allowing to push item from conveyor belt to machines setting a specific time. Splitters are also improved: they check what resource has been pushed, making the mix of resources split independently and equally. For example: 9 carbon+ 9 gold will guarantee to have 3 for each direction (left, right, forward).

[h2]COPY AND PASTE ATTRIBUTES[/h2]


Copying and pasting functionality was the most wanted feature. It allows to copy and paste device attributes.
It's very handy when it comes to disable many devices, changing recipes or visuals like edges for many floors at once. Furthermore, it also supports pick element, so it will be possible to pick a device and paste it with all settings preserved.

[h2]DECORATIONS ROTATE/SCALE[/h2]

Each decoration and decal can be rotated and scaled via [E] menu. Morover, the new function copy and paste attributes, makes decorations having the same look and size!

[h2]IMPROVED MULTIPLAYER API[/h2]

It's now possible to use JOIN/INVITE for both dedicated servers and player servers.
You can join your friends automatically.

[h2]BLUEPRINTS IMPROVEMENTS[/h2]

Blueprint Designer is allowing to modify device attributes. You can configure devices, logic blocks and visual style for your blueprints before constructing them!

[h2]FOOD EFFECT[/h2]

Different types of food affects speed and energy of astronauts.

[h2]STEAM WINTER SALE 2023[/h2]

Hi Colonists!

Astro Colony is celebrating one-year anniversary in Early Access.
It was a very busy year and brought many updates to the game. Starting with smaller updates like Mods support, blueprints, drill, stargate and major updates about Architecture and Dedicated Servers.

It is truly a pleasure to be able to work on this amazing game and share it with you! As you know, I have been working on it for several years now, but definitely it wouldn't exist without your feedback, suggestions and help!

The game will be supported for many years to come. Next content update is planned for Christmas then the Major update about terraforming in March next year! I am sure that content updates will help to bring the game into Very Positive review (+90%).

Once again I would like to ask for a little bit of trust and help.

To show your support you can nominate the game in the ongoing Award on Steam!
The only category Astro Colony is eligible is "Labor of Love". I think that the love and passion that are coming from us all will make it grow in a great game!

I would love to celebrate this moment with you guys.
Thanks guys so much for support!
