V1.9.9 - Happy New Year!
Hi everyone,
Happy New Year! 2024 was a big year for The Colonists with the release of the New Lands DLC, multiplayer mode as well as 12 frontiers (we're now up to over 50!).
Frontiers will continue in 2025 bringing a different challenge each month. There will also be new maps, work on further improving multiplayer stability, random generated multiplayer maps as well as ongoing QoL improvements.
As always feedback and suggestions are hugely appreciated, either to dev[at]codebyfire.com or on our Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/thecolonists
[h2]January Frontier[/h2]
If you're new to The Colonists, every month there's a new map to play which has a custom set of rules and goals. Try and complete the goals as quickly as you can and see where your colony ranks on the leaderboard. (Or just chill and enjoy a new map!)
January's frontier will test your layouts and resource routing abilities by limiting you to just one, very productive, sheep farm. Good luck!
