AColony Patch Notes — June 9, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hi everyone,
a new version (0.5.075) is finally published and contains 30 steam achievements, some updates in the picture menu + some smaller fixes.
Steam Achievements
This update includes 30 steam achievements + some steam stats, which I have setup for achieving a few of them. I have to say, there was already an ingame statistic in the game, but unfortunately it had not covered all required values.
The values for trees cut, plants harvested and creatures butchered will be automatically converted to your achievement requirements.
The value for eliminated creatures will also be converted to your achievement requirements, but only 25% of them, because the achievement counts "enemies" you have sent into the afterlife. (for example, stuff like hunting is here excluded, because non hostile animals don't fall under the term enemy).
Unfortunately, the values for mined blocks and built constructions were never counted before, so these values need to be increased / gained from 0.
Updated Picture Menu
The picture menu contains now all steam achievements & their images which can be selected and displayed in the ingame world. Like with the old system, these images are locked until you met the regarding achievements.
In addition, I have also added a new checkbox which allows you to show an alternative image instead (so if you don't like to see the steam achievement icons in your rooms).
I have to say, to create all these images took pretty much time, because I had to setup many scenes to get some nice and cool screenshots.
Achievements
At the moment there are 18 basic tier achievements and 12 special ones in the game.
The basic tier ones include:
Lumberjack (1, 2, 3) with the goal of cutting trees (500, 1k, 5k)
Miner (1, 2, 3) with the goal of mining blocks (1k, 5k, 10k)
Farmer (1, 2, 3) with the goal of harvesting plants (500, 1k, 5k)
Architect (1, 2, 3) with the goal of building constructions (1k, 5k, 10k)
Butcher (1, 2, 3) with the goal of butcher animals or colonists (100, 500, 1k)
Neutralizer (1, 2, 3) with the goal of eliminating enemies (100, 500, 1k)
The special ones include:
Bees playing poker (lure some bees into a room with poker table)
Prison love (have 2 prisoners fall in love [not the kind of love you may have thought at first] )
Omniscient (research all technologies)
We can see the light (have 10 immobilized colonists at the same time)
and 8 more
Future Achievements:
With the next updates I plan to add a few more achievements to the game, which should also fall under the special section.
If you have any ideas for some cool or crazy achievements (for certain actions) you want to see in the game - please let me know! :)
Whats Next?
While it took now a bit of time to finally add the achievements, I will focus now on some bugs which I still have to hunt and are not that easy to reproduce + I will continue with the update on the building system, which will probably contain some extensions of the colonists expectation systems with new rooms & constructions as next.
Patch Notes:
