UPDATE 0.8.5

Hello, colonists!

Here comes the new update for Colonies Online! This time we’ve added several useful interface elements, which will make your gameplay much more comfortable, and also we’ve fixed some bugs that appeared after the release of previous update.

List of changes:

Waypoints

The waypoints system has beed added to the game – from now players can create their own waypoints and map markers to navigate trough the game world.

  • System waypoints was added. Game will generate them automatically: the waypoint to the Outpost Delta, the waypoint to the crash site, waypoints to player’s ILU’s;
  • Added the option for players to create their own map markers: from now players can create user waypoints on the map in two different ways – accordingly to their position in the world or with the custom coordinates field.

Command Panel

The first iteration of the command panel has been added – now colonists can create “shortcuts” to use items from their inventory – to do so, just drag and drop the item in empty slot on the command panel. To activate a slot, just right-click on it.

In future this panel will be developed further – we’re planning to introduce abilities for characters in the next updates :)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug with incorrect rotation of surgical stations;
  • Added working energy shield for surgical stations;
  • Increased performance of the game client;
  • Fixed some minor bugs.

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: [email protected]!
