About Astro Colony
Astro Colony lets players roam an infinite, procedurally generated universe of fully destructible voxel planets. Each world hosts a variety of biomes and hundreds of plant species, inviting continual discovery and terrain reshaping as stations are moved and docked.
The game blends automation, research, and co‑op play. Over 100 technologies can be researched, transport networks built with conveyor belts and pipes, and any‑size blueprints designed or imported. Multiplayer lobbies support online co‑op, while single‑player retains save‑anytime and adjustable difficulty.
01 / THE GUIDE
Procedurally Generated Universe
Astro Colony creates an endless universe of voxel planets, each generated with unique biomes and a large catalog of plant types. This procedural approach ensures that new planets appear as players explore farther, providing fresh terrain to colonize.
All planets are fully destructible, allowing players to alter terrain to suit station placement, resource extraction, or aesthetic goals. The ability to reshape worlds supports both functional builds and creative experimentation.
- Map the resource distribution of a new biome before committing large structures.
- Compare the layout of several planets to spot recurring geological patterns.
02 / THE GUIDE
Automation and Transport Systems
Players can assemble transport networks using conveyor belts and pipes, moving resources between stations without manual handling. These systems form the backbone of colony automation, linking extraction, processing, and storage facilities.
Designing efficient routes reduces bottlenecks and speeds up production, which in turn accelerates technology research and vehicle construction. The modular nature of belts and pipes lets players expand or reconfigure layouts as needs evolve.
- Lay belts in straight lines where possible to minimize travel distance.
- Test pipe flow with a small batch before scaling up the network.
03 / THE GUIDE
Technology Research
The game offers more than 100 distinct technologies that can be researched to unlock new structures, vehicles, and automation options. Each technology expands the colony’s capabilities, influencing what can be built next.
Research progress directly determines the availability of advanced tools and infrastructure, shaping strategic decisions about resource allocation and colony expansion.
- Prioritize technologies that unlock essential infrastructure early in a playthrough.
- Balance research between extraction upgrades and habitation improvements for steady growth.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Multiplayer
Astro Colony supports online co‑op, letting friends join hosted lobbies to build and explore together. Players can collaborate in the same lobby, building stations and managing resources together, though the game does not specify shared research progress.
Multiplayer sessions include the standard co‑op features, but the availability of save‑anytime and adjustable difficulty in multiplayer is not confirmed.
- Coordinate station placement with teammates to avoid overlapping structures.
- Discuss research priorities early to keep the colony’s development focused.
05 / THE GUIDE
Blueprint Design and Import
Players may design blueprints of any size within the game or import them from the library, enabling custom vehicles and structures. This flexibility supports personalized colony layouts and specialized equipment.
Using the in‑game selection tools or external assets expands creative possibilities without limiting players to preset designs, encouraging experimentation with form and function.
- Start with a simple blueprint to verify fit before expanding complexity.
- Compare imported designs with in‑game tools to ensure compatibility.
