Hi everyone!

Multiplayer Beta

If you've always wanted to play The Colonists against your friends then good news, multiplayer is coming! There's a beta now available for anyone to try, just switch to the 'multiplayer' beta on Steam. The beta is still in development and is currently PvP only. Co-op modes along with further gameplay tweaks to be added soon. Please let me know any comments, feedback or bug reports in our Discord server or to dev@codebyfire.com - thanks!

August Frontier

This month the brewery bots have gotten creative and brewed up a special concoction - chocolate stout! This beer is so powerful it can power L3 miners and lumberjacks instead of L3 Energy. It's a race to mine and sell salt, quartz and gold - good luck!

Featured Workshop Maps

Here are this month's five specially selected player-created maps - go check them out and let the creators know if you enjoyed them! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2967220443 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2991719135 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2893731942 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2995086196 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2871061616
