Astro Colony Patch Notes — July 5, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello Colonists!
The game just got another update with improvements and fixes:
SWAP GATES FOR MORE DEVICES
Swap gates option is now part of more devices. The button is more generic and part of the TOP menu.

It seems that many players find swapping gates useful. It is also neccesary to make some devices complete, like changing direction of conveyor join, otherwise pushing into pipes wouldn't be possible.
In addition previously supported devices: storage, base warehouse, conveyor joint, oxygen generator, swapping gates support other devices such as:
- smelters
- constructors
- manufacturers
- hydro generators
- circular saw
- barns

IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES
- swap gates is now part of the top window, it allows to swap gates for many other devices
