Colony has a new update. Patch 1.0.11 adds daily login rewards, limited-time special offers and a reworked Appearance tab for Avatars. It also brings new tutorials and a batch of bug fixes for Lane Combat, the Barracks and in-app purchases. The game is listed as a free download on mobile under the name Colony:Survival, and the full notes have also been posted in the game’s Discord server.
New features for players
Players now get free rewards for logging in each day. The patch also starts a run of limited-time special offers, and the first is a Thanksgiving Bundle.
The Appearance tab in the Customization menu now has a preset list of default options for changing your Avatar’s look. Players who own custom Avatars can see and equip them from the same tab.
Fabricated helmets should now fit your Avatar’s head better on their own. The patch notes warn that any adjustments already made to equipped fabricated helmets will be reset, so those helmets will need adjusting again.
One change saves a step for Recruited Colonists. If you try to use a colonist whose Mood is too low, the “Low Mood” warning pop-up now lets you send them straight to the Medbay.
Tutorials
- New tutorials for Scouting and Attacking PvP World Map quests.
- New tutorials for Avatar Narrative Dilemmas.
- New NPC dialogue for Ivo Quell at the Fabricator each time the building levels up.
- Improved Lane Combat and Combat Team tutorials.
Bug fixes
In Lane Combat, the patch fixes a bug where players sometimes couldn’t start the next battle after winning the previous one. It also stops fog from sometimes returning over Region 1 on the Battle Map, and fixes a lighting problem in the Modify Team menu.
Gim’s Shop now unlocks properly once the Reactor reaches level 3. The Barracks no longer sometimes shows the legacy UI, and the Avatar should now appear when you open the Customization menu.
On stability, the patch fixes some crashes on devices with lower-spec GPUs. In-app purchases get better error handling and fewer problems with disconnects.
