New to Astro Colony?
What is Astro Colony?
Astro Colony is a game of automation and exploration from Terad Games, set in an endless, procedurally generated universe of fully destructible voxel planets. You mine ore and catch asteroids, build conveyor belts and pipes to automate production, and recruit astronauts who need oxygen, food and shelter. Research over 70 technologies, fit your stations with engines, and dock them together into a network of colonies. Play solo or in co-op with friends.
Automate Production.
Link machines with conveyor belts and pipes, and research your way to bigger factories.
Care for Astronauts.
Recruit astronauts, give them roles, and keep them supplied with oxygen, food and shelter.
Why rent a server?
What is Astro Colony Server Hosting?
In co-op without a server, one player hosts the game and the colony is only open while they play. A dedicated server takes the host's PC out of it: the world lives on the server, so everyone can join whenever they like, and nobody has to forward ports at home. With us, it installs the moment you order, updates itself on every restart, and puts your gameplay rules, autosaves and admins in the panel's config editor.
Always-On Colony.
Your colony stays online, so your crew can play on their own schedules.
Your Rules.
Pick the seed, set the rules and admins, and give the server more CPU and memory as your colony grows.
