VALVES, SEPARATORS, INTELLIGENT HOTKEYS, MAP AUTOPILOT
Astro Colony Patch Notes — August 23, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hey Colonists!
The game just received another big update with systems for better controlling electricity, water, gas, and signal flows. Valves and separators can create more sleek designs where cables/pipes can stay closer to each other. In addition, localization got refined with new intelligent hotkeys showing automatically rebound keys.
VALVES
Valves are small devices that are taking exactly one grid cell and having 4 outlets (one on each side).
They are perfect to control networks:
- electricity ⚡
- water 💧
- gas ☁️
Each block can also be manipulated with signal deciders.
SEPARATORS
Function category has received two new items:
- separator wall
- separator floor
INTELLIGENT HOTKEYS
The localization system of the game is now overhauled with new hotkey decorators for texts. It works very similarly to existing images, but it presents currently keybound actions. If the action binding changes, it automatically updates the hotkey.
The guidebook is now using rich texts with hotkeys. It utilizes the new system and shows all updated hotkeys.
MAP AUTOPILOT
The feature was highly requested, so there it is! In the map view when autopilot technology is discovered there is a button allowing to use control panel of current station to navigate to any selected station, planet or celestial body.
