Hey Astro Colonists! The game just received the Major Update about transport and locomotion! There are new systems in the game which improves astronauts, robots and resources movement.

CABLE CAR

Cable car is the new advanced way to transport resources, water and gas between stations and planets. Its purpose is to cover great distances as you build a big space station docked together with other entities. This can replace the docking station's system of inside conveyor belts.
The system is composed of wagons (three typologies according to the resource to transport), depot (where wagons are built), ports (load-unload of resources), and poles in cases where the distance to cover is huge.

LIFT SYSTEM

Elevator is an architectural addition to create faster vertical movement for astronauts and robots. Build it next to the floor to make the entrance appears.
Two segments above the floor are enough to let astronaut to walk.

MERGING BARRIERS

In addition to many other changes, long awaited barriers are now merged properly. Build as many barriers as you want, and they will be all merged into one big oxygen area.

NEW MUSIC

Our composer Casper was recently busy working on Astro Colony music, there are already 2 more tracks composed. This update adds one of them to the game!

What's next?

This update was originally planned to introduce new human needs and ways to refill them. Some work was already begun. This means that you should expect another major update soon. "Life of a Colonist" will come before Christmas. In the meantime, you can also expect smaller patches improving stability and adding some missing elements like rotations of depots or the possibility for the player to use elevators as well!
