Hello Colonists!

The long wait is over! Get ready to play Astro Colony on Dedicated Servers!
Thanks to the collaboration with GPortal about 50 public servers are provided!


When joining the server, pick the one closest to your location:

• Europe
• US West
• US East
• China
• Japan
  

Each provided server has unique number in the name.
Remember it to rejoin and to continue your adventure.


Together with dedicated servers, many improvements and fixes are already there.
The advantages are numerous: more stable connection between players

Please keep in mind that the Dedicated Servers are currently experimental.
For now, it's not yet set how long one public server session should last and how often servers should be restarted.

If you have suggestions, please let me know on the Discord #multiplayer channel.

Further patches will be released in the coming days with more functionalities for the servers.
You will be able to download savegames from the running server, so you can continue in a local game or a private server. This way you won't lose your progress, and you have access to the backup savegame.

Local Machine

If you have access to the local machine, where you can run Window Server build of the game, follow the guide I prepared for you ;) https://bit.ly/AstroColonyDedicatedDoc
Each dedicated server is created autosaves, so you can access them in the /savegame directory.
