About
The Colonists is a relaxing settlement building game inspired by classic titles like The Settlers and the Anno series.
Take on a series of individual campaign missions, play randomly generated maps, compete on player-designed creations or build your colony unfettered by any constraints in the sandbox mode.
You take control of a team of self-replicating robots built to simulate human civilisation. After escaping Earth, The Colonists are now free to roam the galaxy in search of a new home and construct their dream settlement.
You'll advance through three different Ages as you build infrastructure for your colony by constructing road, boat and train transport systems.
Harvest natural resources, set up farming and food production, create expeditions to discover new lands and research new technologies.
With two separate mission tracks, The Colonists lets either you create sprawling settlements in peace or race to compete against AI colonies in military winner-takes-all scenarios.
Explore, research, manage, tweak and refine to your heart's content.
An extensive map editor and Steam Workshop support is included, so you can create, share and play custom maps.

I wanted a game for casual play. I downloaded a map for casual play and got to it. It was (almost) perfect until I got to the train. I was soo exited to make everything more efficient thanks to a super rail network. But the trains are buggy as F*** - sometimes they get stuck and you have to delete it and build it again. Fortunately they are free to build and it happend only when I made a modification ton the network so when I the network was finished, I didn't have the probleme anymore - I had to remove the road in between sections of my city because colonists will ignore train and walk 500 miles and 500 more just to be the one who walked 1000 miles to bring one crate of bread to a house. - Even with a perfect circular rail, colonist sometimes ignore the availability of resources and cry for a bit of chocolate when there are tons of it in the next stations - sometimes the resources get unloaded into a station just to be loaded back on the same train please fix the train and I would love to play this game again. I spend my last 10hours of playtime moving everything to build the perfect rail network. It is so frustrating.
it feels amazing it engage with, everything is in your control and everything is responsive. the game puts your ability to play it entirely in your hands and gives you the tools to make sure everything works at maximum efficency.
