On a planet distant from Earth, robots are building their colony in The Colonists. The strategy offers to make the dream of robotic creatures come true - to help them become people. To do this, you need to take care of the settlement - improve, develop, completing different missions. An extensive game editor allows you to create your own maps and share them with other users.The following modes are offered:
- Standard - the player completes missions to build an obelisk, protect a colony, and extract rare resources.
- Sandbox - the gamer builds his own colony, controlling robots capable of self-reproduction. Here you need to ensure and establish all the life processes of the mechanisms.
Having escaped from Earth, the robot colonists travel around the Universe to find a home for themselves and create a new settlement, the development of which will take 3 centuries. Here the player creates infrastructure - railway, road and sea systems. The user must collect resources, create agriculture and food products. In parallel, search expeditions are sent to discover new territories for habitation. Adventure also offers to engage in the study of new technologies.Before constructing a building, it is necessary to lay a road to it, along which robots will pass building materials to each other for the main robot builder. Here it is important to distribute all the buildings correctly, so that each one brings benefits. Building improvement is possible through research.
