Astro Colony - Steam Awards

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!

To nominate Astro Colony in Steam Awards go to main Steam Page

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

Death, Logic Improvements and Sounds + Dev Broadcast #4

Hey Astro Colonists!

The game just got an update with new logic improvements, player death and many fixes.
There are also many new sounds which should help with in-game immersion.

[h2]PLAYER DEATH + TELEPORT[/h2]

There is the new player death.
In the past, the game could simply end when you die. Right now the system is greatly improved. It respawns the player in the most convenient place (the base station recently visited). It makes more sense in the multiplayer, where we don't want to interrupt the game but simply continue. This also makes player to be more careful of using booster and checking his oxygen meter.

[h2]STABLE CONVEYOR BELT MERGE[/h2]

Many players suggested creating a merge block, which would help to merge resources on a conveyor belt. Right now all conveyor belts and pipes are intelligent, so they always balance the network taking resources from all possible directions.

As you can see from the screenshot, it also nicely work for pipes.
After merging hydrogen tanks, rods, oxygen tanks, gold plates they will generate perfect interlace ABCD ABCD output each time.

[h2]TIMER PUSHER[/h2]

It's the new logic block which allows to better control flow of conveyor belts and transport pipes.
After specifying time, it pushes resources accordingly. You can decide how often resources are pushed.
This can be a great alternative to splitters!

[h2]NEW FEATURES[/h2]
  • New sounds for machines, vehicles, docking, movement, walking, flying
  • Kicking player who joined when max number of players is reached
  • The player can die due to lack of oxygen and health reaching zero. It's respawn on the last visited space station or planet
  • New way of merging resources with stable merge
  • New logic block Timer Pusher
  • Construction blocks (devices, foundations) are now creating flying space 2 above the ground
  • Dotted line for invalid path is now supported in multiplayer
  • Electric cables and water pipes are now walkable, so bots and humans can walk on top of them
  • Player booster now deactivates when there is no oxygen
  • Loading a multiplayer savegame in the single player mode will use valid player data
  • Savegames can now be filtered by name


[h2]FIXES[/h2]
  • Fixed the issue where double theme would not show correct visuals
  • Fixed the savegame menu in multiplayer to show multiplayer saves by default
  • Fixed teleporting bug related to new respawn system
  • Fixed colony origin to not teleport when being constructed
  • Fixed the bug where astronaut (who is starving) after reloading would go back to work
  • Fixed the multiplayer bug where colony origin would teleport after construction
  • Fixed colony Origin cost in the multiplayer
  • Fixed vehicle falling when starting the game
  • Fixed the default racing mod which did not load after recent changes
  • Fixed blueprint Z hotkey which would cause problems for AZERTY keyboards
  • Fixed the inventory issue where slots would stack on top of another instead of expanding

[h2]Stream starts on Staturday at 20CET (8PM)[/h2]

As a reminder, the game is celebrating one-year anniversary.
I would love to invite you to my stream where I will play with my wife multiplayer.
We will play on a public dedicated server, so feel free to join and help us in construction!
