Have had another regional city corruption. But, this time it wasn't corrupted after a hanging save (although hanging saves are still happening).

Steps:

In one regional city.
Choose to move to the regional map.
See the game save the current city.
Successfully arrive at the regional map.
Tried to go back into the same regional city.
City is corrupted and won't allow me in.

As a side note, when starting this new region, whenever I could successfully get in and out of the three regional cities I would go back to the main screen and then do an export save into the folder of my iPhone. I had hoped that if I did this that I could then reload a saved export file and recover all the cities of the region, losing only the very latest upgrades of the last session played.

But, that did not happen. After the regional city corruption I went to "Game Data" and then "Restore a Game File". Choose the regional colony and loaded it into the game.

However, the same regional city was still corrupted. Even though I had tested it before doing the "Backup Game File".

Question is, when I came out of the regional city to find it corrupted, did that automatic save somehow to the same place on my iphone, thereby replacing the good file with the file with a corrupted city?

I tried using "Restore a Recovery File" but apparently the "Backup Game File" option does not create a .mcb file. At least, I could not find a .mcb file anywhere on my iPhone.

This is so frustrating. Basically two days of regional city building down the tubes.

I'm playing the html5 client, v0.48.
My colony is rather large with 3,8m colonists and mapsize 640x640. Until recently I did not have save file issues. I did not grow much population since, maybe 50k.
The last few days saving took extremely long, to the point where chrome asked if it should close the website because it did not respond.
More than half of the save files get corrupted, I had to load backups multiple times now.

update: just tried again, ̶1̶̶0̶̶0̶% like 8 or 9/10 of saves end up corrupted. some backups work, others that worked before are suddenly corrupted or won't load at all.

I had created an offline reptilian colony with my custom map “volcano beach” (which you can see and download in the custom maps section of the my colony forum) a few months ago. I hadn’t checked on it for 3 or 4 updates and when I tried to access it in the 0.71 version of the game it told me that the file had been corrupted and didn’t let me enter. I then tried to restore the backup file but I found out that there was no backup file for this colony (and I never deleted it or any other file from this colony).

Android, Samsung galaxy a5 phone

Update: after managing to enter it on the windows 0.70 version of the game (which I have now updated to the 0.71 version) I was able to access the colony on the phone, because I have cloud sync on on all of my colonies, both offline and online except for my red planet regions colony which has now been corrupted on my phone (I only have it on the phone) and since, for some reason, there are no backup files for any of the colonies in the my colony file, I will now have to delete this colony.

I hope this only happens to offline colonies and only on the phone, because I don’t want any of my big online colonies to get corrupted on both devices and not be able to get them back.

Hello, in this post I am going to explain an issue I have, this will tell about my save profiles being corrupted when the saving procedures have been completed...

Let's Begin by saying first off, let's set the setting, I am in my world (colony), and I want to exit to the title. I do so. It saves and exists,I am back to the title,I wait one minute to ensure my game saving is for sure done, I exited the game(close application).

I open it up, I click on my save profile, I load it... It would say save profile corrupted.

This occurs while:auto save, saving manually, or exiting to title.

It seems to happen by chance. I have made sure and tested that doing this I have had enough ram, bc as it's saving it takes up more, I have plenty left for it to do the procedure.

But also, sence I have "create a backup" option enabled, when it does try and load a save, it will then attempt to load the backup, that,is to corrupted.

My device: Nvidia shield tablet k1,(Android 7.0)
0.44.0 currently.

Hi,

I'm playing this game on Windows 10, via the windows store app. I've had this problem for a while now and it takes on different formes. Sometimes the auto save keeps saving forever, and any progress I make isn't recorded. Sometimes I want to quit, but when I save the game, there is no response and I have to quit without saving and wishing I didn't lose to much of my progress.
The third form had the most impact, since it corrupted my save file. I saved the game, but it got stuck in the 'compressing-data'-mode. When I quit the game and restarted it, the save file was corrupted.

Is there any way to get it back?

I've now made three separate games. Of those, all of them now been corrupted. The Imperium of Man, my largest colony, with a rather splendid econmy, refuses to load since updates designed to "stabilize" the Android client. Since the corruption of my first colony, I made two more. The first was corrupted after only 2 days, and the second corrupted after about a week and a half. Bast, what did you do. Android client ran fine for me until you made updates to "fix" it.

Platform: Apple iPhone 7 Plus
My Colony Version: Build 0.73.0

Started a new offline colony with the new October 4th build to see if it was still an issue. And it is.

I've had this same problem over the last several versions. Basically, saves are hanging and then corrupting the game file. I've lost so many colonies to this, so many that the game isn't all that fun anymore.

NOTE: I've had this happen before with regular maps, but I didn't save any of the specific information from the splash screens. So, the below are details on what is happening with the new Regions feature in Offline Mode.

Steps:

Start new Regional colony. Have game engine save options set to "Rarely."

Start a new Region City on the Region map. Play in the new region city. Regularly manually save. Save works fine and does not hang.

The "Rarely" auto save comes. Save hangs and will not complete, no matter how long I allow My Colony to remain open.

Close My Colony manually by going to the iphone desktop, then 'sliding' it closed.

Try to open colony. Regional colony map showing all the regional cities opens fine.

Try to get back into the Region city that I was working in when the autosave hung up.

Splash page says:
Syncing Data (sometimes it sits at this stage for quite some time)
Decompressing Data
Restoring Data

And then it defaults back to the Regional map. I can do this over and over, and the region city will not open. I cannot get back into it, yet the game is showing the production of supplies coming from that city just fine.

Even worse, one by one the region cities on my map are succumbing to this. On the main colony I'm currently playing I have 2 regions I can't get into, including the area I've designated for a bunch of government buildings that took a lot of resources to build and upgrade. One Region Colony I just deleted in frustration because all the regions were falling like dominoes.

I also tried:

Setting engine settings to never save. However, I've found that the game still tries to save itself once in a while, and yes, the above corruption happens. I just had this happen with a Regional city of a brand new colony that was started just this morning. So, out of the 3 regional cities I started, one of them is already corrupted and I cannot get into.

Just for kicks I set the engine settings to save "often." it worked for a few hours, and then wham. Corrupted region cities.

This is beyond frustrating. Why play if the cities just become corrupted? It's literally a waste of time to play.

Please fix! I really enjoy this game.

Hey, I'm in a region world. My link is https://www.my-colony.com/colonies/OQUUg0mM/
I have a city, named suburb-nor and it seems to not load. I've tried changing the compression, cloud saving, I've even tried deleting some city files and reinstalling them. I've put them in base64decode and they don't seem corrupted and don't abruptly end data. Just whenever I click on that single city, it says "Syncing data," then "logging into server," and then returns me to my region with no further prompt. ❔ I was wondering if anybody has had this error before or now and knows a possible fix to it. My data is not corrupted.

TLDR: One of my cities won't load despite all data is not corrupted

Hey, so I played my colony before you guys added online players.

So when I came back to the game and you can now communicate and interact with real players I was mind blown and excited.

I even bought the premium! I had roughly 10b coins. 12 million of storage for everything! I was in the quantum age. Idk how many millions of research I had but I was so close to transcendence which is an incredible feat! Plus I had 1 billion alien artifacts, 1 billion uranium, 1 billion steel, and aluminum. Not to mention the galactic trade I had billions of dollars worth in trades pending! And like 300 million alien relics and instructions too.

I wasn't hoarding this I was helping out many new players too. But I got on today and it said save file corrupted. I clicked on my colony which was named (Oliver Colony) multiple times in confusion. Each time it said "Save File Corrupted" then it seemed to self delete. On top of this my recovery file is MISSING! Please I'm not sure if anything can be done but it is really disappointing that this killed and wiped my only main colony off.

Also I was very active. When I created that colony a few weeks ago or maybe even a month. I was active daily.

I saved 2 times and then I save and quit the game and as soon as I wanted to load my game its my game save corrupted file I was playing in average card in LIS mode in an asteroid world I am in version 0.47 .0 and I play my colony on google chrome my pc is windows 10

I have been playing this file for a few months now and have about a dozen charters. I went to log in and it says "file corrupted!" It is an online save. Is there anything i can do?

Hello everyone, I've tryed to renamy my colonists into Cyrillic names on Russian Language, and the "game" "show" this names (like Привет), but after, I cant save the game, and cant load this game, because "the save file is corrupted".

I've make another colony, and make backup, after that I rename my colonists, make a new save and off cause "save is corrupted".

I've tryed back it up from backup, but "clean backup, without cyrillic" still dont work, and I think, If I rename my colonists to "other lang", this info writing to .mcb file, and making errors besides have I this backup or not :)

PS I've tryed to make Capital, and rename one of the person to "Vladimir Putin" for "kill" him after )) this is funny, because Volodya is my "girl" ;)

Hi, i have a colony wich got like 5000 people and 2.2 milion iron but when the game was saving it just froze. So i closed my colony and i restarted it, but everytime when i want to open my world it says: 'Save File Is Corrupted'. I spent hours in this world so i don't want to lose my world in my colony, does anyone know how i can fix this? and how i can open my world?

Well I hate to tell you that "Save File Corrupted" almost always means that a save did not go through completely and is missing half of it's compressed data. Which means there is pretty much no way to recover the file :-/

Okay, @bastecklein i made a new colony yesterday and i growth it to 250 people or something and it was automatically saving, but it just didn't do anyting it keep saying: Saving. So i closed My Colony and restarted it and it says Safe file corrupted again, so the cause is probably that the automatically saving sometimes freezes.

Same, also on pc the first time it happened i had like 5000 people in my colony

Did I read federations ?

Edit : compressing a creative map took a very long time, at least way more than it used to.
Edit 2 : save file corrupted after quiting chrome and launching it back
Edit 3 : I selected "load game.." and then the corrupted save, and it loaded normally.

Edit 4 :) Streaming is working fine but we don't see the menus

Edit 5 : Can we have an API for the colonies currently streaming ? I could query each one individually but that wouldn't be very efficient for sure. So an API returning a list would be great!

I just had the same situation. My main city in my zolarg region has saved when going back to the region screen, but then I could not go back in.
I tried to reload the region, then to reload the whole game, but the main city is still blocked.
The second city on that region remains accessible.

I have a backup of my files from a few days ago, but I don't know which file contains the said city, since they get a numeric name...

Hello,

today I tried to play my save (created on Android version) on my desktop but couldn't, it says that game file is corrupted.

I exported it from the Android version via Game Data -> Backup Game File, then transfered via FTP and tried to import.

When I manually placed the .mcz file in My Colony directory in Documents it said that the save is corrupted when I tried to load it.

When I tried to import it via in-game menu it was stuck on Attempting to restore backup.

I tried both the classic desktop version and Windows Store version (this one shows info about corrupt save even when I import via in-game menus).

The Android app version is 0.75.1, the desktop app version is 0.75.0.

I played this game a year ago or so and had some saves which I deleted. Now every time I start the game, the files get recreated with zero file size, I don't know if this is related any way but I find it strange.

Are there any other locations where My Colony stores some data so that I could delete it all and try to start fresh?

Thanks.

When trying to load my save i get "Save file corrupted" 😱😱😱😱😱😱

What do i do?

Ashanorath said:Multithreaded Pathfinding was on, and the bug started occurring even when just deleting 2 buildings in a row, 1st one would be gone fine, 2nd one would just go invis.
Hmm, opening any preexisting maps in regions in the 0.78 in browser just gives me "save corrupted", hopefully someone else has more luck of actually testing if the fix works on existing maps.
I did however make a new map and did some building, deleting, selling and such for ~30min and the bug didn't happen, so it looks promising.

Which client were the corrupted saves made with? Was it by chance the Windows Store edition?

I originally posted something on this forum not too long ago about a red planet world infinite cleaning data whenever I tried saving, and no help has been brought towards that for a long enough while for me to have given up on it for long enough to start a new world in the meantime. I made a lunar world and it literally just corrupted and disappeared entirely when the game crashed from me trying to set the world as a cloud save so I can access it on my PC too to make backups, so this is very ironic. I'm about ready to give up on this game, because even though I love it I keep putting so many straight days of work into each world and they just get corrupted like nothing even happened and I can't even back up the data because it keeps saying there was an error and it won't ever let me accomplish backing it up. I also have enough screenshots to recreate everything I have in the world from scratch even though that's probably not for the best I don't know what is. My last successful backup of the lunar save was way too long ago for me to even want to redo it because it was like weeks ago. My red planet save has a backup that happened right after the corruption. My game tried restoring an emergency version of the lunar save but it took too long with my ipad being on low battery so it wasn't feasible. If I could just make proper backups of the game files myself as I should be able to this wouldn't be a problem, but it works not on PC nor mobile for me.

TL;DR: I'm losing patience with this game, I just want to be able to play but everything keeps corrupting from the smallest things happening that are no-where close to my fault and I have hundreds of screenshots. I also am not really receiving help from anybody on this matter which is why I'm losing patience with this.

I have a device which has both a colony and premium upgrade, i did many attempts in sending the colony file into another device including from SD card and via bluetooth, both of which ends up saying "save file corrupted" when i try to open it, i exported the file and imported back into the same device to see if it works, and it does, i need to know what im doing wrong or if there are other methods of transferring the colony file

Today i entered in my colony and when i tried to ope my save it says that it is corrupted, what can i do to solve it?

Hey, so I played my colony before you guys added online players.

So when I came back to the game and you can now communicate and interact with real players I was mind blown and excited.

I even bought the premium! I had roughly 10b coins. 12 million of storage for everything! I was in the quantum age. Idk how many millions of research I had but I was so close to transcendence which is an incredible feat! Plus I had 1 billion alien artifacts, 1 billion uranium, 1 billion steel, and aluminum. Not to mention the galactic trade I had billions of dollars worth in trades pending! And like 300 million alien relics and instructions too.

I wasn't hoarding this I was helping out many new players too. But I got on today and it said save file corrupted. I clicked on my colony which was named (Oliver Colony) multiple times in confusion. Each time it said "Save File Corrupted" then it seemed to self delete. On top of this my recovery file is MISSING! Please I'm not sure if anything can be done but it is really disappointing that this killed and wiped my only main colony off.

Im on the same situation as you. I play today the game and my game file (a colony called horas city/ciudad del horas, and online) was just corrupted. Now i will restart from 0 because i can't recovery the file and i don't backup it. Was not a big colony, but i spend in it almost 4 hours.. the devs are not working in nothing apparently.

AND I PLAY TODAY.

I am (re-)playing your game since a couple of days and I saw there is interesting updates. So, good work, I wish you good luck with the next updates. Howether, I am playing in region mode and I have problems with this mode again. I precise that I am playing on a mobile phone.

So I propose to do a group shot with all the technical concerns that I could find (and I allow myself a few suggestions at the same time).

1-Corrupted save and region management :

First of all, I got a corrupt save file again. But at the difference of the last time, it's not during the game, but when I created the region that the problem occurs. This is probably due to a manipulation problem on my part, because having placed the region in the wrong place, I had to press the cancel button to try to abandon my action. However, the problem remains the same. And not only is the (large) region still in the wrong place, but I can no longer access it (see the blue part in the picture).



Suggestion : First of all, I propose to add a validation screen, before creating a new region, which avoids errors, as I did, by choosing for example a large region. Second, I suggest adding the option to delete a region. This allows in particular to delete part of the map, if it is corrupted, but not the rest of the map.
By doing this, there is a problem with resources. Cause delete and recreate a map can lead to infinite resources. You can choose to ignore it (cause the resources in the region mode are almost unlimited). Or we can make it so that recreating a new region on a section that has already served will only allow us to create empty maps.

2-Display bug :

Now, it's just a glitch concerning residential complex. Maybe due to their format (2x1). I precise that I have these configs : check the rendering distance:true (so I guess it's not related to that), render fpc cap:medium, update frequency:rare.



3-Salary :

I don't know if it's a bug, but when I am on a region map, the salary requested is that of the region where we are. So with a region with two inhabitants and a region with 1000, if it only takes into account the salary of the first region, it makes a little difference.
Salary management (in political choices) also seems to be managed by region (instead of being global), since the data recorded for one region is not valid for another. This can be defended. Still, I find it strange ...

P.S.: I mixed the two image files in one, cause I had problems attaching two different images.

Hello guys!

May I proudly present my fan lore about the history of My Colony Universe!

The calendars and year used would be Earth ones.

Time of the Ancients (??? ~ 1.2 billion years before Alpha Draconians)
Once there was a thriving old civilization ruled over the Milky Way Galaxy, which now they are called the Ancients. Even for the Alpha Draconians, there are limited documents about their history. The following will state the events recorded and decoded so far.

• The Old Holy Galactic Empire (???).
  That was the oldest trace of the Ancients found.
• Galaxian-Titan War (???).
  There were very old literature records about this war. The war between the Holy Empire and the warlike colossus Titan civilization. There are still some rare Titan relics found in the Milky Way, though some historians doubted the reliability of them.
  The war was supposed to put the Titans to extinction.
• The Old Dark Galactic Empire (???).
  Somehow the old Empire turned to the dark side. From this time on, the documents about them are more difficult to find.
• Reptilian Exodus to the Milky Way (~3 billion years ago before Alpha Draconians).
  The first record of Reptilian immigrants into the Milky Way from another galaxy. Some documents from Alpha Draconians stated their ancestors were nomads with only mostly low tech equipment.
• Galaxian-Reptilian Wars (~2.3 billion years ago before Alpha Draconians).
  The continuous immigration of Reptilians caused conflicts between these new migrants and the master of the Galaxy. However, the Reptilians were not expelled from the Milky Way successfully, an armistice was signed after prolonged warfare. Reptilians stopped immigration in exchange for peace.
• Disappearance of the Old Galactic Empire (~1.2 billion years before Alpha Draconians).
  The largest mystery of galactic history - the disappearance of the Ancients. Most existence of the vast Empire vanished just in a… flash, leaving most parts of the Milky Way Galaxy abandoned. Some radioisotopic dating recorded most ether pollutants of abandoned Ancient cities appeared since the event.

Rise of Reptilians (~4.1 ~ 2.8 million years before human history)
The Disappearance of the Ancients gave rise to the Reptilian immigrants, though discovered a bit lately, they began expanding further into the empty Milky Way Galaxy. Later the Reptilian Empire of Alpha Draconians was formed on the foundations of the disappeared Empire.

• The Reptilian Kingdoms (~0.6 million years before Alpha Draconians).
  The Reptilians recognized the disappearance of The Ancients as scout ships were sent after years losing contact with them. Seeing this as an opportunity to expand their borders without anybody to stop them, the nomadic Reptilians soon reorganized themselves as the Reptilian Kingdoms.
• Great Reptilian Expeditions (~0.5 million years before Alpha Draconians ~ 0.3 million years before Alpha Draconians).
  Hundreds of expeditions were conducted by various Lords during the Kingdoms era. They salvaged most remaining technologies of the Ancients, however unable to decode all the data at this moment as their limited knowledge of these high end technologies. Some new Reptilian major cities rose from these ruins.
• The Warring Lords (~0.3 million years before Alpha Draconians ~ 10 years before Alpha Draconians).
  The powerful artifacts of the Ancients impressed the Reptilians - those supposed to bring prosperity to the entire race, however, became the source of ambitions for the Reptilian Lords. Thousand years of wars, were only for scrambling for these powerful gadgets.
• Reptilian Unification War (~10 years before Alpha Draconians).
  Kingdom of Draconis was the weakest kingdom among the Reptilians, until the time of Lord Alphari - influence of Draconis rose to new heights, threatening the strongest Reptilian Lords. Lord Alphari defeated all the Reptilian Lords in a 10-year long war, successfully unifying the entire Reptilian race for the first time since the immigration.
• Birth of the Reptilian Empire - Alpha Draconians (~3.5 million years before human history).
  Lord Alphari established the new unified Empire of the Reptilians, named Alpha Draconians, with the national motto ‘Rising from the Harshest to be the Strongest’. Alphari was the first Overlord of the Empire.
• Successful Decoding of the Ancient Artifacts (~3.5 million years before human history).
  One of another most impactful achievements of Overlord Alphari was, he supported, and later personally participated in the research of Ancient language decoding. With more plentiful resource support than ever, most major elements of the Ancient language were decoded, which allowed the Alpha Draconians to reverse-engineer these technologies, turning the undeveloped Reptilian civilization into one of the most brutal Galactic superpower, inherited with the most powerful technologies.
• Glorious Conquests (~2.8 million years before human history).
  Another greatest conquest of Alpha Draconians took place under the rule of Overlord Ks'khip. This famous Overlord of Destruction put an end to and enslaved thousands of minor civilizations scattered in the Milky Way Galaxy, which one of the civilizations includes Insectoids, providing highly reproductive slaves. This conquest created the foundation of core Alpha Draconian territory.
  Right after such a successful conquest which brought Alpha Draconians to the peak golden age, the Reptilians began referring to themselves as ‘the descendants of the Ancients’.
• Secretive Galactic Domination Doctrine (~2.8 million years before human history).
  This doctrine formulated by the Overlord Ks'krupp, the descendant of Ks'khip, advocated the secretive way ruling the vast territory of the Empire spreading and maintaining influence by utilizing covert agents to control regions with minimal signs, which helps shaping the image of Alpha Draconians as an unreachable deity. Such doctrine impacted the future development of Alpha Draconians.

The Revival of Insectoid Civilization (~20th century of Human timeline)
Insectoids were being enslaved by Alpha Draconians for millions of years. However, an uprising changed the fate of the Insectoids, which led to the revival of the long lost Insectoid civilization, in the form of the Zolarg Empire.

• The Uprising on Draconis 12 (~1920s of Human timeline).
  It was a historical turning point for both Alpha Draconians and Insectoids. The uprising led by the Insectoid Zolarg successfully overwhelmed the colonial government, and purged all the Reptilian existence on the planet. Freed from slavery, these first group of freedom fighters formed Zolarg Empire right on this planet - which the planet was renamed Zolarg Prime, and the uprising leader Zolarg became the first Emperor of the revivaled Insectoid civilization. The uprising also first revealed the corrupted, weakened national strength of the seemingly invincible Alpha Draconians, who were still blinded by their national pride.
• The Insectoid Uprising Movements (1920~1950s of Human timeline).
  Encouraged and inspired by the success of Zolarg's uprising, Insectoid slaves over Alpha Draconians also followed the same path revolting against slavery. Though not all had been successful, the Insectoids successfully took over an unimaginable number of Alpha Draconian colonies and cities. Most of the Insectoids who earned their freedom joined the Zolarg Empire to fight against the enemy of their ancestors.
• The Revival War (1950~1970s of Human timeline).
  Despite the success overcoming the slavery forces of their slave camps, the Insectoids had something more overwhelming to handle - the formidable regular forces of Alpha Draconians, trying to regain control on their slaves. Yet under the united command under Emperor Zolarg, they managed to defeat Alpha Draconian regular forces in this 27 year long war, using the new subterranean guerilla tactics. The war recorded heavy casualties of both sides, however, Alpha Draconians stalled their operations against the Insectoids, which earned extra time for the Zolarg Empire to fortify themselves and settle down some basic administration matters.
• ‘Groot Opwekkingsplan’ (1970~2010s of human timeline).
  This period was also known as the ‘Great Revival Period’, the period when Emperor Zolarg formulated the policies for the early Zolarg Empire, to rebuild, strengthen and revive the Insectoid civilization, to restore the dignity of the Insectoid race. Under the common efforts of the Insectoids, with the help from both knowledge from the ancestors and some basic industrial knowledge from Alpha Draconians, the foundations of the Zolarg Empire were built up. The fast-rising Zolarg Empire became a supernova of galactic power at the end of the Revival Plan.
• Declaration of Insectoid Liberation (~1990s of human timeline).
  Emperor Zolarg made a declaration on behalf of his Empire to Alpha Draconians - the Zolarg Empire, will liberate the remaining brothers and sisters under slavery at all costs. The Declaration established the long term aim of the wars against Alpha Draconians.

Old Earth Era (year --~2051)
The Old Earth Era is the time of human history before United Earth. The Old Earth Era is when humans begin exploring more parts of the galaxy, as well as beginning extensive colonization on new planets.

• The Jameson Formulas (2027).
  The genius scientist Professor ‘Einstein Jr.’ Lob Jameson published a paper about special formulas of space continuum mechanics. These formulas make a breakthrough on long range space traveling technologies.
• First Practical Hyperdrive Engine (2030).
  With the help of Jameson Formulas, the first practical hyperdrive engine in human history was created by the team of Project Next Sun. The innovation was named Jameson Engine.
• Journey of USP Discovery (2031-2033).
  The USP Discovery is a test object for the Jameson Engine. The probe was launched by NASA of the USA in the year 2035. It had successfully taken photos and data recording of stars and planets at locations about a lightyear away, and at last hyperjumped back to Earth after 3 years of missions, with excellent integrity conditions maintained.
• Planetary Decay Theory (2031)
  Ecologists and geologists discovered a strange phenomenon taking place on Earth, the important resources, from the minerals to the oil, began decaying into unrecyclable, unusable forms. It was suspected that this decaying was catalysed by climate change.
  A theory was formulated predicting the depletion of vital resources within years and this must be stopped. However, most people did not believe this theory to be true, until the Global Resource Crisis.
• The Space Colonization Race (2032-2047)
  With long range space travelling became more possible at that time, a new space race was ignited globally - from the global powers to the most underdeveloped countries, from government bodies to independent organisations, they had their own aims. Some seek for wealth and resources, some seek for opportunities and a new start, some seek for knowledge and discovery. It was a milestone for humanity - first attempts for an extensive space colonization in history.
• Global Resource Crisis (2038-2050)
  The worries stated in the Planetary Decay Theory was proven a fact in 2038, beginning with the abnormal depletion of oil fields in Arabia - the black gold turned into black, harmful, indecomposable sludges.
  For the coming years, more vital resources from iron ores to rare earth metals decayed into sand and dust, which greatly impacted the global economy at the foundations. Which eventually caused all space colonization programmes abandoned by Earth in the year 2047.
• Miracle Formula (2050)
  The Project SEED ecologists from colonies discovered the Miracle Formula, which included a method to reverse the process of planetary decay. It was sent to Earth in the year 2050.
• Restoration of Earth (2051)
  Terraforming devices derived from the Miracle Formula successfully restored Earth back to the conditions about 150 years ago within a year, which saved the entire humanity on the Earth.
• The Grand Collapse (2051)
  Although Earth had been saved from a catastrophe, however, the existing governments no longer had any capabilities maintaining the nations, after years hammered by the economic impacts from such a disaster. The world fell into the status of anarchy.

Rebirth of Humanity (2051-2061)
Right after the Grand Collapse which marked the end of the Old Earth Era, humanity on Earth was in massive chaos, while most colonies outside Earth were deserted and had to survive on their own. Until the United Earth reunited humanity.

• United Nations Dissolved (2051)
  Without any valid members at all, and at risk of ‘bankruptcy’, the United Nations officially dissolved, with all its assets sold at the end of the year, to a group of plutocrats who had survived the crisis.
• Formation of United Earth (2052)
  The legacies of the United Nations were reused by these plutocrats, they rebranded the old international governmental body into a new organisation the United Earth, aimed to restore prosperity and order of the Old Earth.
• Earth Reunification War (2054-2055)
  After 2 years of preparation though gathering weapons and manpower from black markets and government fire sales, the global military campaign was launched by United Earth. In the 1.4 year long war, United Earth brought the major cities and regions under their control.
  The rise of United Earth was inevitable to the rest of the world. It had pressured the remaining regions, no matter at war or not, surrendered and accepted annexation at the end of the war.
• Official Establishment of United Earth (2056)
  A month after the end of the Reunification War, the main official governmental structure of United Earth was established - The President taking the leader role of the government, with the General Assembly responsible to the President.
  The General Assembly is the decision making centre of the United Earth, composed of representatives from different administrative regions to show a certain extent of democracy. However, the President still has absolute veto power in the General Assembly, in addition to a series of exclusive powers.
• Restarting of Colonization Programmes (2061)
  With the Earth gradually stabilized and having the economy restored back to early 21th century standards, United Earth announced the recontinuation of space colonization projects abandoned by the Old Earth. This included re-establishing control on the remaining surviving Old Earth era colonies.
  The restarting of colonization was regarded as the dawn of the United Earth era in human history - from that time on, human civilization began to develop and expand faster than ever.

Rise of Humanity (2061-2083)
The New Era referred to the early times of United Earth after the recovery from the Old Earth era disaster. It was another golden age in human history, human civilization beginning to rise quickly in the Milky Way Galaxy. Despite opportunities, there were also new unknown challenges.

• First Reformation of Security Council (2063-2065)
  The national security agency of the United Earth, Security Council, went under a series of reformation from 2063 to 2065, improving and fostering the efficiency of peacekeeping missions on Earth and foreign colonies, as well as established a controversial high pressure security regulation called AEGIS Protocol.
• Formation of Space Marines (2068)
  In order to protect foreign colonies and Earth from potential Alien threats, United Earth Space Marines (UESM) was formed.
  Space Marines gradually replaced Peacekeepers security forces of the United Earth as the official military.
• First Official Contacts with Minor Alien Civilization (2069)
  United Earth colonization fleets discovered an underdeveloped alien civilization on the planet Hakenduz-35. United Earth officially contacted the Hakenduzians, establishing the first diplomatic relations with an alien race.
• Alien Membership System (2071)
  With more and more minor alien civilizations discovered, United Earth saw that as an opportunity of wealth and influence. In order to convince them sharing their resources with United Earth, an Alien Membership System was established, allowing alien member states to enjoy a series of benefits including protection from Space Marines and preferential treatment on trades. In return, the alien member states had to pay yearly membership fees.
• First Starship in Human History (2071)
  The first starship of United Earth, UES Ark, finished construction in 2071, Martian Industries shipyard on Mars orbit. UES Ark was a prototype long range colony ship, built for exploration and colonization of the Icarus System.
• Deimos Events (2072)
  It was a legend of the legendary Space Marines elite squad led by Sarge, a story to save Earth from an evil artificial intelligence - though, with some confidential details which United Earth decided to keep it secret, rumored to be time travel to erase history of a parallel timeline.
• Wormhole Navigation Technology (2075)
  A set of technological advancements in space navigation technology allowed safe traveling of wormholes, which the wormholes act as a great shortcut for expanding into further regions.

Human Civil War (2083-2084)
This was one of the most impactful wars in the Galaxy. Yes, it's name is Human Civil War, however, things were not simple as most thought at that time - it eventually involved the 3 major civilizations of the Galaxy, and also gave birth to the fourth major civilization. The war also impacted the future patterns in the Milky Way Galaxy.

• Secret Independence Society (~2068)
  The Secret Independence Society (SIS) was the predecessor of the League of Independent States. It was established shortly after United Earth began using high pressure policies to tighten control on the colonies. The SIS worked in secret, cooperated with suppressed people and black markets. Their ultimate aim was to bring true freedom to humanity, freeing them from the internally corrupted ‘tyranny’ of United Earth. They are also one of the earliest groups of humans who made contact with another major civilization in the Galaxy (to be specific, Zolarg Empire) far before United Earth even acknowledged their existence.
  Their existence remained very much not known by the United Earth until the outbreak of the Civil War.
• The Alpha Draconian Conspiracy (around a few months before the outbreak of war)
  It had been a tough time for Alpha Draconians since the Insectoid slave uprising events. To restore the national pride of Alpha Draconians and to find resources repairing the badly impacted economy, Overlord Betahan decided to prepare a secret invasion on humans, picking the timing humans were at the blink of civil war.
  At the same time, another conspiracy took place internally - the rivalry between the Overlord and the Lords of Inner Circle.
• Terra Nova Incident (2083)
  The Incident was the fuse of this war. Everything started with Terra Nova boycotting the heavy taxation of United Earth. Unable to bring the situation under control through conventional routines, United Earth decided to take the most violent military action against Terra Nova (which such decision was partly due to Alpha Draconian covert agents secretly intervened the General Assembly, to accelerate the outbreak of war).
  The incident provided an excellent excuse and opportunity for SIS to throw up a nationwide independence war. SIS militias ambushed the Space Marines in Terra Nova, liberated the colony, and officially declared war on United Earth.
  From that time on SIS was officially renamed as the League of Independent States (LIS).
• Zolarg Empire Entry into the War (2083)
  Before the war, LIS secretly signed an alliance pact with the Zolarg Empire a few months ago (for different aims respectively, but both sides were seeking bilateral support).
  LIS called for Zolarg reinforcements under strong countermeasures of the United Earth. The entry of the Zolarg Empire into the Human Civil War had successfully put the United Earth into a war of two fronts, however the overall situation had not improved very much, the war turned into a stalemate afterwards.
• Barracuda Blues Events, and Alpha Draconian Invasion (2084)
  United Earth discovered an Alpha Draconian secret stronghold with an army of war droids (built for invading humans) in the colony Barracuda Blues, mistaken as an abandoned military research facility. United Earth sent scientists to the site in order to obtain unknown technologies that could help them win the war against LIS.
  The discovery at Barracuda Blues was the result of political rivalry in Alpha Draconians, the Inner Circle attempted to sabotage Overlord's invasion plans.
  The true identity of the facility and the ‘mysterious machines’ was not known by humans, until similar Alpha Draconian war machines of similar models popped out from nowhere, attacking human colonies and cities - The beginning of Alpha Draconian Invasion, an unexpected event during the civil war.
• Battles Against Alpha Draconians (2084)
  At the beginning of the Invasion, Alpha Draconians had been successful that they had occupied over half of United Earth territory.
  Under a common threat from afar, the United Earth, LIS and the Zolarg Empire agreed to put a pause on the civil war, and formed a temporary alliance to expel Alpha Draconian intruders. Their joint operations successfully recapture human territory one by one, slowly setting the intruders back.
  Alpha Draconian Invasion ends after the decisive Battle of Barracuda Blues, the last main portal stronghold destroyed by the alliance, all the Alpha Draconian forces in human territory were shortly destroyed.
• Continuation Human Civil War (2084)
  The civil war was not over.
  Despite victories repelling Alpha Draconian invasion, the forces of United Earth, LIS and Zolarg were almost exhausted in fierce battles with Alpha Draconians (especially after the Siege of Barracuda Blues), little resources they had to continue a large scale war.
  While the Zolarg Empire quitted the war by signing a white peace with the United Earth, both LIS and United Earth sought an opportunity to conclude the war in a single battle.
  The Battle of Kaisergrounds was the end point of the Human Civil War, the only but the last battle after the Invasion event. Kaisergrounds was a strategic stronghold which was the important gateway to the core economic regions of United Earth. The battle ended with the United Earth forces regained control of the planet, it had contributed United Earth a strategic victory.

New Galactic Era of the Milky Way Galaxy (From 2084 on)
The Human Civil War and the Alpha Draconian Invasion during the war, had drawn the major civilizations closer. The New Galactic Era was the time things in the Milky Way began developing in galactic scale and perspectives.

• Armistice of Hoxton (2084)
  The Armistice of Hoxton officially ended the Human Civil War, despite it being just an armistice. The armistice defined the United Earth-LIS border in the future, which the border line was known as the Hoxton Line.
  To conclude, nobody had won a total victory in the Human Civil War, however, each side won alternatively - United Earth won a strategic victory which LIS could no longer push deeply into the core territories, while LIS achieved their primary aim of gaining independence.
• Official Establishment of League of Independent States (2084)
  The League of the Independent States was officially established 3 months after the Armistice of Hoxton was in effect. The League promised fairness, autonomy and freedom to the member states as stated in the Declaration of Independence.
  The League of the Independent States had no actual leader in power. Instead, each member state cooperates under the common principles, bearing the common responsibilities protecting people of the League.
  Though the establishment of LIS was officially recognized by their ally Zolarg Empire, the United Earth General Assembly declared they would never accept any rogue states in their ethnic territory.
• The Midnight Coup (~2084)
  With the failure of invasion on humans, the core Reptilian society of Alpha Draconians lost all confidence in Overlord Betahan. Shortly after the end of invasion the Overlord was assassinated by Inner Circle covert agents.
  However, it did not put an end on the political crisis in Alpha Draconians, the coup further made everything worse instead. Every Lord of Inner Circle schemed to reach the throne of ultimate power, however there could only be one supreme ruler in Alpha Draconians. In order to secure the thrones for selves, the Lords fell into a status of internal political war.
  The absence of Overlord, and the internal political instability, catalysed the decay of Alpha Draconian influence in the Galaxy.
• Emerging of New Galactic Empire (2086)
  The decayed Alpha Draconian influence after the Midnight Coup were not able to maintain control on a number of puppet states and territories, they began to break away from the Alpha Draconians.
  This had also given rise to the mysterious organization New Galactic Empire, who then annexed part of the states that broke away from Alpha Draconians. They called themselves the true descendants of the Old Galactic Empire, who carried the ‘inevitable destiny’ reviving the old Imperial glory.
  Though the ambitious organisation lacked strength to compete with any of the galactic powers in the Milky Way at the moment, the powers actually worried the ‘New Empire’ could be a large threat to them in the future, given their capabilities spreading influence at an unprecedented rate.
• Further Discoveries in Barracuda Blues (2086)
  United Earth sent another research team investigating the remains of the Alpha Draconian stronghold and facilities. The team revealed a fact about Alpha Draconian technologies - they were derived from the Ancient technologies recorded on the ancient artifacts.
  The discovery further fostered the research and decoding on the information on the artifacts of the Ancients in United Earth.
• Bradley's Military Reform (2086-2093)
  The new head of the United Earth Security Council, Marshal Bradley (which was the supreme commander throughout the Human Civil War), threw up a massive military reformation in order to suppress the military capabilities of LIS, including expanding the scale of Space Marines and especially the Starfleet (which the number of starships during the Civil War barely met demands on the battlefields), written a new professionalism military doctrine, and supported the development of new generation starships.
• LIS Black Market Trade Union (2088)
  The blockades and embargo on LIS by United Earth had cut down most of the methods for LIS to contact the outside world. In order to survive and maintain development under the difficult conditions, LIS officially established the LIS Black Market Trade Union which facilitates external and domestic trade of their member states.
• Galactic Colonization Race (2102~???)
  Seeking for further power in the Milky Way Galaxy for their own aims, the 4 civilizations of the Galaxy entered the galactic colonization race one by one. Alpha Draconians started the race, who were desperate to restore their ‘superiority’ in the Galaxy despite political instability.
  From the centre of the Galaxy to the Outer Rims, they were all targets of colonization.
• United Earth Ancient Archives (2109)
  The Archives is a department of United Earth which is responsible for regulating research and usage related to Ancient alien technologies. Apart from regulations, they also take part in the research of the ancient technologies. Since the Archives existed United Earth had better progress extracting ancient knowledge with better organisation.
• Chaos in Alpha Draconis and Restoration of Overlord (2112)
  Oligarchists in Alpha Draconis had been dissatisfied with the absence of Overlord for a period of time. With the old culture of Reptilians being harmed, these angry nobles stirred up chaos in the capital city, urging the restoration of Overlord.
  Without any other ways to suppress or pacify them, the Lords of the Inner Circle could only do as what these (lower) nobles asked them to (well, since their own plans were also disrupted due to the chaos).
  The exiled younger brother of the previous Overlord Betahan, Deltahan, was put to the throne. Despite being an Overlord, most actual powers were still in the hands of the Inner Circle, Deltahan was just nothing more than a puppet.
• Zolarg Scholars Journey to United Earth (2113)
  A team of scholars from the Zolarg Empire, led by the Imperial High Scholar Abbe Amber, set off to United Earth for a study trip of human technologies.
  Scholars and scientists of the United Earth and the Zolarg Empire exchanged each other's knowledge and culture. While Zolarg scholars earned a bunch of precious knowledge which could help the technological development of the Zolarg Empire, the trip had also fostered the understanding between the United Earth and the Zolarg Empire, easing the tension since the Human Civil War a bit.
• Insectoid Mind Network Technology (2116)
  A breakthrough in neuroscience research in the Zolarg Empire had led to an innovation - the Insectoid Mind Network, designed to foster understanding of consciousness and thinking, and enhancing advanced, direct communication and coordination of Insectoid society.
• Cyberonic Transcendence (2119)
  A private United Earth research institute Transcendent Technology successfully prototyped Neuro-microchips (NMC), which were compatible with human neuro systems, small in size, but ten times more efficient than average human brains.
  The technology contributed to turning the futuristic cyberonic transcendence reality among humans.

Who knows what the future holds?




Hopefully the timeline looked decent and reasonable for My Colony Universe!
Thanks for reading!

Notes: not all events are 100% accurate.

Some cities in my cloud saved region have been somehow corrupted. Any idea on how to recover them?

I don't mind redoing them again, but to say the least it's annoying that this sort of stuff happens.
