Space Colony

Space Colony is a sci-fi colony-building game in which you manage a base and its crew across the galaxy. Blackwater Industries, a mega corporation, is watching your performance as you try to survive, turn a profit and build a military or commercial installation. Your career depends on a ragtag crew who have left Earth, each with a mind of their own; keep them safe, happy and paid, or the colony may be doomed.

Build your colony

Choose from more than 100 buildings to design a colony suited to your crew and your goals, from cosmic warfare to interplanetary tourism. You can mine minerals, extract iron and produce space chickens to increase your wealth and standing with Blackwater Industries. But workers need more than profitable industries: laser defences, a sauna and a decent restaurant all help make the colony a place where people want to work.

Protect your crew

Hostile alien life forms threaten the colony, so detect them early and defend your colonists with Hovermines, laser turrets and the Dogbot. Crew members can team up to protect your empire when they are cared for; neglecting their needs or pay can put the colony at risk. You can also monitor workers, harvest resources outside the base and make sure everyone visits the colony psychologist.

Train specialists

Choose from a cast of 20 unique characters and train crew members in cybernetics, mining, lasers and other specialities. Their needs and individual minds make keeping them alive and content part of managing the colony.

Steam Edition

This remastered edition adds the Obar mini-campaign in Galaxy mode, along with a re-balanced Easy Mode, achievements, trading cards, Steam Workshop support and Steam Cloud saves. HD graphics let you view the entire base on one screen, helping you spot alien life forms, keep track of workers and manage off-base resource gathering.
