Interesting concept! Longevity is key. A native desktop runtime and the web version provide excellent redundancy. Have you considered user-generated content and modding capabilities? This could really extend the lifespan. It makes me think of playing Uno Online - it survives because of its accessibility and community. Great work!

Hello there. I know that I have not posted in a long time, and I would like to point out an issue that I'm having trouble with: there is a box containing an alternate perspective view of the rough world section I last visited and if I load out a world, it displays a planet. @bastecklein, any help you could give right now on this situation?
Note: I am playing on the mobile app version of the game
I purchased premium in 2021 on GooglePlay; my accounts are linked and it shows I have premium on the mobile version of the game, but not when I am on the PC web app, despite being logged into the same account.

I found a solution if anyone still looking. I dont know what causes this issue and when it happens as i have encountered it at different points throughout different games but you need to go through and disable all buildings and make sure no building are over lapping(look at other building of the same color when using that mode and see if any are brighter than the other and delete). For me gold mint and civil center is what caused everything to mess up. Still working on a solution to why my population number keep jumping up and down tho.

Hi - I just upgraded from basic to premium in a purchase from the Microsoft Store. It looks like the purchase is in my list of downloads on my OneDrive, but it will not open. Help? Steve

These have all been suggested for MC2 at some time. Military units have actually been in the game for a couple of years already and starship management/space industry for accessing harder world types was suggested a while back. I think it would be entirely plausible to implement newer gameplay features in either game, but in the case of doing them in MC1, it would defeat the point of having MC2 at all if would be left behind both on scope of existing content and game loop. Additionally, there is somewhat less at stake for adding new features to MC2 than MC1 in terms of playerbase: fewer people play MC2 and have comparatively less investment into their worlds, so there's less potential harm in new updates introducing bugs since everyone knows MC2 is still in beta whereas MC1 would be assumed to be stable past 1.0. Nothing against the MC1 artstyle btw, it was actually one of the main reasons I got into the game.

I think My Colony 2 is really nice, but the 3D part seems to take too much power, even my GTX RTX 3060 struggles. My Colony 1 is my goat. I remember back when humans were the only species, now look where you have come!! I think development should focus on My Colony 1, as it is your flagship game. Flushing out the Competitive side of MC1 could realy help i think the challenges are already a really good mechanic, adding something like wars or battles between players or AI to spend the vast amounts of late game resources collected. Adding further sub-colonies could also be cool, like once you get to dark matter production, you get a "Our scientists have discovered a way to harness Dark Matter for travel to a new realm". And there that in that realm, the original resources are completely unproducible, and you need to transfer them there from your main storage. But here, new resources are producible that will allow for new tech back home. This new realm could also be a PvP zone, I think a few mechanics from Colony Wars could be transferred. All in all, I really think MC1 still has A LOT of potential, Its 2D style might be "worse" than the 3D style of MC2, but gameplay-wise MC1 is leagues over MC2.

Really cool to see the old My Colony beta back from 2016. It’s fun to look at how much the game has changed since then definitely a nice bit of nostalgia.

Tbh i feel like adding a dark matter generatore and storage for zolarg and draconians would be goated aswell

So as of now the nanite research requirements are optomized for humans, which makes it unfair to zolarg and alpha draconian colonies. So i suggest a new nanite research unlock for zolarg.

Insectoid nanite production
Description: Unlock the secrets of becoming very small.
Requirements:
Civics: 10 billion
Research: 3.5 billion
Alien artifacts:10 Million
Alien Relics: 10 million
Ancient Instructions: 7.5 million
Unlocks:
Everything that the normal nanite research unlocks for zolarg already.



Things can be changed freely as you please.

There are additional reasons for the game to possess its own URL, but the primary issue is the conflicting service workers.

I play My Colony 1 & 2 on a local server so trading resources via the chat interface has never been a big part of the gameplay for me. Still, there's something much more sinister at play going on behind the mask of these "child protection" measures, so it saddens me to see these measures take effect.

Will the mail system still be active?

Hi.
I play my colony for years, and have colonies using cloudsync save. I play on multiple devices.
Recently, I tried to update my apps from build ver1.31 by remove and reinstalling app, but the colonies were disappeared on savedata list after that. Instead, only another colony created in v2.2 in another device appeared.
I foolishly forgot to backup the colonies before reinstalling app since their data are surely stored in cloud...
Is there a way to restore my old colonies in v1.31, or giving up is the only option?

I might have some old buckups, so I'm checking my old devices now, but I'm not expecting much.

Well the Research button i think goes away when there are no techs currently available, are you sure you have not reached the end of the research tree?

Check your balance, it should now be restored.

I’m on mobile, and I can research fine until I leave and rejoin. Research option is just deleted forever.
