State of Astro Colony (April 2022)

Hello, Astro Colony friends.
These are strange and challenging times we’re all living through. I hope that our game brings you happiness and some kind of healthy distraction.

[h2]BETA[/h2]
December last year, we’ve been able to successfully launch Astro Colony Beta on Steam. We sent personalized keys to all our Kickstarter supporters. We approached closed beta tests, which will allow us to focus entirely on the Early Access release Q3 this year!

[h2]Astronauts[/h2]
Our Astronauts recognize both genders and generates additional visuals for hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and beard!

[h2]MODS[/h2]
The game supports mods. We are planing to make mod-kit publicly available, so our Astro Colony community can help us creating interesting mods for the game!

There are many new construction blocks in the game. In addition there is a new generation system which creates floor edges.

Modular Vehicles in Astro Colony

🚙 🚗 Modular Vehicles are now part of the game, where you can pick attachments, positions, sizes, layouts and colors. Each vehicle can be crafted in the Hangar by providing necessary resources.

Vehicles are useful to move on planets and to shape the terrain. Depending on the purpose you can attach more tools during a design phase.



The designer is very flexible, allowing for various shape modification, wheels placement which will result with a unique look of your vehicle!
