You’ve got one banner, and you stick with it until you’re pretty much at the endgame, and then you can start over in a very distant location. Why should I build such a crowded place for the colonists when there is so much empty space around me?
But while looking at the surrounding area from the walls of my fort, I felt a strong desire to “make it habitable”. I barely had space left above ground to place new jobs. With the Iron Age unlocked and many dozens of colonists working on trap-production, I now had an overcrowded fort with many beds crammed into underground rooms.

All the work crafting the shield and its ingredients are better spent crafting linen, which can be sold for more coins with less work. The Golden Shield costs a lot of time to craft, but it can be sold for 250 coins. Until now, it has been the result of ‘guesswork’. We’re going to use it to rebalance the costs of in-game items. With the new spreadsheet calculator, we now have access to a lot of new data. This makes calculating the total cost of a product significantly more complex. And the crafting time isn’t static: it decreases when you use better tools. Some items can’t simply be crafted by a colonist, and have to be purchased from the trader with currency. How many seconds of work are required to make an anvil and all of its ingredients?Ġ.9.0 adds some major new changes to this process. Since 0.7.0, we’ve got an internal system that can ‘print’ a spreadsheet with all kinds of data, especially data regarding the total labor cost of items. Here are two screenshots of some of the new content:Īnother project was updating the ‘spreadsheet calculator’. We’ve also redone certain old icons that didn’t fit the new style and standards. The last two weeks also saw the addition of many new icons for 0.9.0-items, and 3D-models for new jobs. Properly saving these statuses for each and every monster and sending them to each connected player in multiplayer requires a minor technical overhaul, which is happening right now. We’re also planning to have other things that can affect monsters for a longer time, like poison. This requires new info to be saved for each monster though. We’re planning to add traps that can drop caltrops, which would slow down monsters. Zun is now working on a new effect: slowdown.
Colony survival games update#
We’re still planning to update it though. They’ve also received their own, new 3D model. They are properly reloaded by special colonists, and there are now also variants of traps that can drop items on monsters that pass below them. Traps were very much work-in-progress two weeks ago, and they’re a lot more finished in our current internal dev build. This resulted in massive support: lots of you shared their enthusiasm! That was great to see, and it strengthens our dedication to this plan. Last Friday Blog mentioned the idea of ‘outposts’. All mentioned changes concern the internal, unreleased dev build
