Update 0.12.4 released
Colonies Online - soonknowforme
Dear colonists, we’re glad to announce the update 0.12.4. We began a thorough redesign of combat profession system, and this update already has some of the new features.

List of changes:

Combat profession and abilities

  • In anticipation of the profession system changes we removed the ultimate slot from profession tree, and replaced it with the regular “rank 7” slot. This means the abilities placed in this slot don’t get special form but rather become stronger.
  • Former ultimates of Kick and Dodge became separate abilities - Shockwave and Onslaught respectively.
  • There are two new passive abilities in the game now - Heat and Traveler. Take notice that strength of passive abilities do not depend on the slot rank. Later we will make separate slots dedicated for passive abilities.
    Recharge ability has been changed. Instead of instantly replenish the shield it will gradually regenerate it over time.
  • A new vendor arrived at Outpost Delta. You can retrieve any ability item from him for no cost.

Options menu
  • Options menu has appeared in the game. You can configure video and audio there. Other options are coming later.

Bug fixes and improvements
  • The problem with placing constructions near other constructions has been fixed.
  • The Incinerate effect has been slightly nerfed.

Colonies Online game is in Early Access state – a lot of things are yet to be developed, we’re working on improving the game every day. If you encounter some serious bugs or technical difficulties, then let us know about them on the forums of the game or via e-mail: support@colonies-online.com!

UPDATE 0.12.1!
Colonies Online - soonknowforme
Big features

Character visual customization
  • We're glad to announce that we've implemented the ability to customize the character, which is available during the creation phase. You can choose gender, appearance and haircut. The possibility to change the appearance of the existing characters will follow in the next update.

Heavy weapon - Minigun
  • The first member of heavy weapons has appeared in the game. These weapons are bulky and reduce the character's movement speed, which is easily compensated by the weapon power. In order to get the minigun you will have to sweat quite a bit while gathering resources and rare components, but the result is totally worth it!

List of changes:

Visual and interface improvements
  • New and improved login, character choosing/creation and loading screens
  • Item tooltips now include general description (what the item is, how it is used)
  • Improved jungle biome
  • All biomes density and objects count are optimized
  • Item Pick Point container now has scrolling, which allows to pick up all the items without the need to re-login

  • The abilities activation time is reduced to 1 minute for all profession slots
  • The refinement time is reduced to 5 seconds no matter the quality and quantity of the resource
  • The resources waste rate during refinement is considerably increased

  • Beacon jump to your own base now available, provided the base has at least 3 active power generators
  • Energy shields are removed from indoor devices, such as extractors, crafting stations and such. Thus the devices now consume less energy

Other
  • Mastery vendors now sell ready-to-use sets of weapons and armor
  • Quality of resources in deposits is increased, which compensate the increased waste rate during refinement
  • Quantity of rare resource in deposit is decreased to 1
  • The random noise of resources quality in deposits is removed
  • Resources requirements for crafting are changed in accord with new deposits parameters
  • The chitinid lairs now have less health points
