Asteroid Colony now has reached 600 #wishlists!! 🥳🎉🚀
(This number does not include those who already bought the #game)

This means only 6400 wishlists to go to reach the ominous 7k threshold... 🙃

Not every #meteor is large enough to wipe out an entire #asteroid, but they can still deal massive damage to your #city. So it's best to intercept them early enough!

#Building walkways and pipes will cost #resources with the next #update. Each element costs 1t of silicates. The costs of the connection you are currently planning are displayed in the #ui, and are shown in red if it can't be afforded or built for another reason.

The #animation of the #construction of a new #spaceship in Asteroid Colony. You will need a large fleet of spaceships to transfer goods between asteroids and to mine #water from comets.

With the latest #update, the #ui shows an indicator why a #building is unproductive. In this case, there is no #water available on the #asteroid, so the #farm cannot produce anything.

Asteroid Colony has just received an in-game encyclopedia 📖! It contains information about buildings, spaceships, resources, as well as some general topics. Check it out in the latest update of the game!

Post yourself, but in b&w 🖤🤍

I hope I am not too late for this trend

The #ultimate #energy source is of course #nuclear #fusion. Merging deuterium and tritium (which is bred from lithium) nuclei releases vast amounts of heat, which is then converted into #electricity. In Asteroid Colony, nuclear fusion is unlocked only in the late #game through #scientists.

One valid alternative to #solar power in space is #nuclear power. #Uranium enrichment is #expensive and #complex, but the almost endless #energy supplied is worth every cost. And don't worry about nuclear #waste, just eject it into #space and hope it never comes back.

Due to the large distance from the sun to the #asteroid belt, #solarpanels are quite ineffective. To supply your #colony, you will need huge #solar #parks. Since you only have so much #space on your asteroids, you will have to settle for #nuclear or #fusion #power plants eventually

#Christmas has arrived in Asteroid Colony! It's celebrated by those brave souls who dare to venture out into #space with a nice Christmas #tree.

Working on bringing #Christmas to Asteroid Colony. Especially in the cold darkness of #space, when we are far away from #home, we need something to bring warmth to out hearts and to get us into the Christmas spirit!

You should never skip #legday, or any other day for that matter, in #space. The low #gravity causes the #muscles in the #human body to atrophy. Luckily, your residents can counteract this by working out in the #gym.

After some fruitless attempts at #optimizing the loading times of saved games, I finally made a massive #breakthrough!
Initially, a huge test #game took about 4mins to load. Using proper indexing and substrings instead of string concatenation, I got the loading time down to 36 seconds! 😱

The newest #update for Asteroid Colony includes an improved overview of the available #workforce on each #asteroid. It shows exactly how many residents you have, and how many are needed.
Just remember to disable automatic upgrades when you run out of pioneers!

Getting some very weird bugs in Asteroid Colony 😬
This is definitely not supposed to look like this!

Working on something #new: When zoomed in on the surface of an #asteroid, #astronauts will spawn and walk around your city.
Don't forget: Asteroid Colony is currently on #sale on #Steam!

Much better now, that was an easy #fix!
The next thing on my #todo list: Give #street connections a cost.

Some testers said that buildings "streets" is not very intuitive. That's why I added a real time preview of one street node where the mouse cursor is.
Unfortunately it is really wonky (see replay). That will need to be fixed before the release!

Your enemy has an #asteroid that you fancy? Why not take it?
First, eliminate all resistance with your #railgun frigates. Afterwards the asteroid is yours to #settle!
