Hey Colonizers!
It was a very busy week!
Astro Colony traveled with me to America for the Pax East in Boston.
It was a great experience seeing players trying out Astro Colony for the first time!
The game has been presented on a Steam Deck which worked very smoothly.
Steam Workshop
As you may know, the last few updates were dedicated to the Mod system.
There was still one thing missing which was highly requested: sharing mods via Steam Workshop!
Now this is finally possible! You can simply upload a mod using a new version of a Modkit.

Even if this decision in the future may make some mods less accessible for other platform users like GOG and Epic Store I decided to make it possible.
To make your creation more accessible and popular, consider publishing it to both Workshop and Curseforge.
Standalone MOD Uploader
Modkit has a new standalone app which is authenticating Steam login for you!
You just need to make sure that your Steam launcher is running in the background.
This will ensure that your profile is linked and you can preview your Mods and be able to add new!
You can easily upload new mods to selected platform:
- Steam Workshop
- Curseforge
Pax East
Pax East is a one of the biggest events, so I was extremely happy to be able to showcase the game at that time. I met many other game developers and publishers. It was a very important experience for me, seeing many players trying Astro Colony for the first time.
Thanks to feedback and interaction I will be able to improve the game in the future.
Steam Deck compatibility
During the event I've been able to test how the game is performing on a Steam Deck.
There were a few minor issues like a guidebook videos not playing, that have now been resolved.
What's next?
A major update is around the corner, so please be supporting and stay tuned!
See You soon in the next update!
