Hi everyone,

V1.3.4 of The Colonists live! Here's what's new:


The Colonists is now available in German, French, Chinese and Korean! A massive thanks to all the translators and if you'd like to be involved in a community translation for your language get in touch here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/677340/discussions/0/1735469327939468875/?ctp=3


Monuments now give a speed boost to all nearby bots increasing building productivity and road throughput, the power of the boost increasing with the size of the monument. Monuments are limited to one each (unless victory conditions state otherwise) so use them wisely!


Each building now lists all incoming and recently arrived resources and where they came from. You can select any of the resources and it will display the route to the building, their estimated arrival/journey times as well as the option to destroy that resource.


Check out our full patch notes, including an improved destroy mode and more sandbox options. https://www.notion.so/Patch-Notes-f0b271ceafc34a3a8330adf3034cb18f


Our next update is adding a new AI Hard mode, some new campaign maps as well as some new buildings and resources. If you'd like to test these new features out whilst they're in development then head over to our Discord: https://discord.gg/thecolonists
