Astro Colony – Threats & Defense

Posted on 5 May 20255 May 2025 by Lukasz

The game just received the Major Update about threats & defense!
Cosmic Events have been redesigned to appear from time to time, making it a great experience throughout the game!

Before the update, players could occasionally encounter objects as they traveled and discovered new parts of the endless universe. These objects were small enough to pose no threat.

In this update all of that changes. Events occur periodically. Traveling further increases the chance of them occurring.
