AColony

AColony is a colony-building game about managing a community in an unknown world. You begin with a few colonists and limited resources, build a settlement, research technologies and respond to unexpected events. Online co-op lets players share a world while each controls their own colonists; the 3–4 player co-op mode is experimental.

Build your colony

You can construct multi-story buildings and extend your base underground or into mountains. Furniture, pictures and other decorations let you customize individual rooms. You can also craft items, weapons and other components, and build an electricity system using generators, batteries, power consumers and switches.

Research technology

Research technologies to unlock advanced weapons, items, machines and construction elements. The technology tree has over 50 individual fields across four ages: basic, modern, computer and nuclear.

Events and visitors

Wanderers, traders and other groups regularly visit the colony. You can interact with neutral colonists through a dialog menu, trade with regular traders and take quests from neutral colonists, including quests in online co-op. Hostile colonists, dangerous animals and intelligent insects can threaten the community, while events caused by nature can hasten your colonists’ deaths. Turrets and artillery pieces provide stationary defenses.

Manage your colonists

Each colonist has expectations, a mood, injuries and illnesses, skills, talents and traits. As new members join, the expectations of the rest of the community increase; colonists may ask for their own room, specific furniture or special rooms. Keeping their moods positive matters, as a poor mood can lead to dangerous situations. Stab wounds, bruises, bleeding, poisoning and diseases can put their lives at risk, while traits bring both benefits and disadvantages. Colonists can also form relationships, including with colonists controlled by other players.

Play together

In online co-op, players share a world and control their own colonists. You can trade resources, treat each other’s colonists medically, work together against events and attacks, and strengthen relationships between colonists.
