What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to make Colony Survival the best voxel colony simulator possible. We released into Early Access more than seven years ago, and it has resulted in enormous amounts of useful feedback. We still see a lot of potential for future updates.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This is difficult to say. We never expected to get all the support that has allowed us to keep improving the game for seven years. We might leave Early Access in the next 12-18 months, or we might keep working on major updates.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“What is certain is that we want to improve the UI. It should be more intuitive and look more appealing. We also want to improve the tutorial and make learning the game smoother and more engaging.

We’re also considering adding some major new features, but they are not planned with 100% certainty yet.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There is a large amount of content and the performance is well optimized. Bugs and glitches should be extremely rare. Not everything is highly polished though: the UI is functional but not the nicest to look at, and things like first-person animations are missing.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access version is discounted compared to the definitive version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'd like to fix all bugs players encounter while playing Colony Survival. We want to add features that are in high demand and will consider proposals for new content.”

About This Game

Dynamic 3D Pathfinding

Both colonists and monsters can find their way in your world. Build bridges, tunnels, stairs, overpasses and underpasses to make sure your colonists get where they want to go, and monsters don't! Plant a banner to start your colony. As you recruit more colonists, more monsters will try to invade your colony! Build walls, dig moats and construct forts to deal with the increasing threat.

Advance from Slingers to Grenade Launchers

Use an extensive science system to unlock jobs, blocks, upgrades and new weapons! Your colony will start in the Stone Age with just a handful of primitive jobs. Produce new materials, study clay tablets and scrolls, sell luxury items and advance throughout the timeline. Ultimately, you will be able to unlock gunpowder weapons, gliders, printing presses, rails and much more!

Explore and Settle a Large, Diverse world

Advancing the tech tree requires resources that are only present in special locations. Purchase the resources in the marketplace for a high price, or find those locations using the astrolabe and build your own putposts on mountaintops, in swamps and other places. Use gliders and rails to move quickly from one location to another.

Co-op: Play with Friends without Problems

Easily launch a co-op server from the main menu, and invite friends to join your world. Share ownership of a single colony with multiple friends, or build your own colonies and trade items and science. It's also possible to use our advanced server tool to set up a more complex system. Extensive mod support allows players to customize their experience exactly as they want.

Transparent development: we explain what we're working on and why in regular Friday Blogs. We're continuously trying to figure out what the community would like to see tweaked and added next by being active on the Steam Forums and the official Discord.
