UPDATE 0.11.0

Finally! We’re proud to announce that new and very crucial element has been added to Colonies Online – weapon and armor crafting has arrived! From now on all the precious resources that were gathered and refined by colonists will be put to good use! Let’s talk about everything in detail:

List of changes:

Item crafting

• All weapons are now divided into three archetypes – shotguns, pulse guns and rifles (more to come!) and there are new constructions to create them – "Weapon crafting stations".
• The "Armor crafting station" has been added to the game – players are now able to create full armor sets by using it. To create any element of armor you will need at least these items: Xenodin (gathered from the strongest creatures), Iron (find the deposits in the open-world and extract the resource by using Resource Diggers or Resource Mines), and a new type of item – Armor Frames, you can purchase them from the Crafting Supply vendor at the Outpost Delta.
• Many types of dyes were also introduced into the game – now you can paint your new craftable items as you wish. You can buy some dyes from the Crafting Supply vendor, or by fighting alien monsters.

Bonification of items
Bonification (French: "bonification") – process of improving something, adding additional value. With the release of this update, by using the new construction named “Bonification Station”, players are now able to add nice bonuses to their equipment – both to purchased and crafted items.

Using bonification randomly adds from 1 to 3 additional bonuses to the chosen item. Remember, you can only bonificate the items that weren’t improved before!

Also you can find Bonicores at Outpost Delta – devices that can improve the parameters of each of the bonuses that can be added to an item by the bonification station.

The minimum essential requirements for the bonification to work are: the item that you want to improve, and also the spare parts – you can purchase them at the Outpost Delta, or find them by fighting monsters. Spare parts differ by quality – the better they are, the less you will need to successfully run the bonification.

Changes in the traders’ assortment

• The list of items that you can purchase from vendors at Outpost Delta has been reduced – items of level 5 and 6 are not available any more. But fear not – you can create the most powerful items in the game by yourself: find rare resources, refine their quality and make some awesome sets of armor and weapons!
