Complete Overhaul

Today it is not an usual update. We had a lot of meetings in the past few weeks, because we needed to see the bigger picture of where our game is heading. Thanks to our testers, who reported that information and game mechanics was really fast going and in overall a lot of mechanics were fast paced. So we decided to make a couple of big changes in gameplay, which I can already confirm were pretty good decisions and the game is already looking much cleaner, slower paced, clearer and more chill to play. For example:

  • This is a colony sim game, so we expect that your colonists won't see all the changes they are working for, but their kids and grandkids will. We had morning, afternoon and night shifts which are gone. Now you will see only 1 "shift" and that is our complete cycle, where colonists either work, study, relax or sleep. This results in 3 times faster aging for your colonists.
  • Lots of colony sim games have a truckload of different item types and we are no fans of that. So we cut out almost a half of the current items and made it more understandable and simpler. For example you don't need 4 different goods for your colonists, instead you can have only 1 Basic goods and it will be the same. At least you don't need to worry about 4 different item chains.
  • We stretched out game mechanics from each other. BIG time. So you don't have to face the pressure of something going bad. Now you can sit and enjoy building your colony. Of course you have to keep an eye for basic needs for your colonists. Without food and a functional atmosphere no one can last forever.
  • Our graphic designer made a lot of changes to our current and new assets to set the right mood and they are a little bit more moody and depressed, but with the expansion and new research, the building will get more colorful and brighter.
  • In our demo tests we were missing your ultimate goal, which is of course survival, but you need some kind of higher goal and that would be the terraformation! So you can escape the depths of the planet and start to thrive on the surface. Well that was the couple of main changes which are undergoing. In a few weeks we should put it all together. Cheers, Your ExoColony Team!

  • Welcome to an exciting survival colony simulation game that takes you into the vastness of the cosmos!

    Starting with a small group of colonists, you're tasked to mine resources, refine materials, build structures, and innovate with new technologies. Across generations and centuries, you'll expand your settlement into a thriving civilization and terraform the planet to make it your new home.

    Prosper Through the Ages

    Colonists are born, educated, work, retire, and die. Over generations, their needs may evolve, dedication may diminish, and mutations may arise.

    Principle of Mass Conservation

    Nothing simply disappears. Every bit of material transforms into something new. Resources follow their own cycles, involving production, consumption, and recycling.

    Food

    Transform barren soil into fertile farmland using materials from your surroundings. Melt ice for water, use the water to grow food, and then purify it for reuse. Balance these elements and watch your colony thrive on the food you produce.

    Atmosphere

    Convert exhaled carbon dioxide back into oxygen for your colonists. Tackle industrial pollution and manage various gases. As your base expands, maintaining atmospheric pressure becomes essential.

    Industry

    Begin with mining ores and minerals, refine them into advanced materials essential for constructing buildings and crafting items. With each step, transform raw resources into the foundational elements of your expanding colony.

    Terraformation (during EA)

    Transform the planet's surface and temperature to make it habitable by managing temperature control, ecosystem growth, and water resources. Create a breathable atmosphere and turn the planet into your new home.

    … And More

    • Research: Unlock new possibilities, buildings, and recipes via the research tree.
    • Power: Generate and store energy from diverse sources.
    • Logistic: Manage logistics of your expanding colony with drones.
    • Game Events: Strange things can happen in the cosmos. Some events might be nice, but some, well you will see for yourself.
    • Space Management: Deal with the material you don't need.
    • Luxury Food and Goods (during EA): Produce various items to keep colonists productive.
    • Free time (during EA): Meet colonist social needs to prevent unrest.
    • Temperature (during EA): Control the temperature within your colony and on the planet.
    • Mutations (during EA): Turn the mutations in the alien world to your advantage.
    During EA means that mechanics is not in the game yet and will be finished during Early Access.

    See you underground!
