Quick Start
Colony is available to play both on the Solana Seeker appstore and as a web application.
Step 1: Join a Faction
Choose Bastion, Aether, or Covenant before minting your Season 3 planet. Your faction competes throughout the season for a share of the total treasury prize pool.
Step 2: Mint a Planet
Purchase a planet to start the game. Your planet type is randomly determined:
| Planet Type | Chance | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Metallic | 30% | +500 Base Metals Production |
| Crystalline | 30% | +500 Base Crystal Production |
| Gaseous | 30% | +500 Base Gas Production |
| Starfield | 10% | +0.25 Base Stardust Production |
Step 3: Collect Resources
Your planet starts with 100,000 Metals, 100,000 Crystal, 100,000 Gas, and 0 Stardust. It then automatically produces more over time. You have four resources to manage:
- Metals — Utility resource
- Gas — Utility resource
- Crystal — Utility resource
- Stardust — Premium resource
Your planet stores the resources it produces up to a cap of 26 hours. Make sure to collect your resources!
Step 4: Upgrade Buildings
Use your utility resources to upgrade buildings and increase production. Higher-level buildings produce significantly more resources.
Step 5: Mine
Use energy to mine Metals, Gas, or Crystal. Mining rewards scale with season progress, not with your building levels or passive production. Stardust cannot be mined.
Step 6: Compete on the Leaderboard
Earn leaderboard points through all gameplay actions. At season end, each planet can earn leaderboard rewards based on its tier, and faction rewards are distributed based on faction placement.
