About

Starfall Colony

Read full description

Build a future among the stars. Start with a Solar Array and grow your outpost into Starfall Colony. Collect ore, hire managers and turn a handful of buildings into an automated settlement. Invest in research, send your crew on expeditions and decide when to begin a new colony with lasting stardust bonuses. BUILD AND AUTOMATE Develop eight facilities, from the Ice Extractor and Habitat Dome to the Fusion Reactor, Terraformer and Quantum Relay. Plan timed upgrades, reach production milestones and put managers in charge of earning ore while you focus on your next project. RESEARCH AND PROTECT Advance nine research disciplines to improve output, extend offline earnings and unlock frontier technology. Install defenses against asteroid impacts and solar radiation, then repair damaged buildings to restore their production. EXPLORE THREE WORLDS Choose a balanced home, an ore-rich frontier or a world suited to research. Send expeditions for supplies or science, collect nine journal discoveries and follow the six-chapter First Settlers campaign. Your choices shape its ending. CHOOSE YOUR COLONY'S DIRECTION Select Balanced, Industrial, Scientific or Explorer specialisations for your next colony. Build and commission five stages of the Space Elevator, Orbital Habitat and Planetary Shield. Prestige turns your current colony's progress into Stardust for stronger future beginnings. MAKE PROGRESS AT YOUR PACE Automated buildings and your lab keep earning while you are away, within your offline capacity. Claim daily supplies, complete rotating contracts and work toward weekly medals without an uninterrupted daily streak. Earn Voyager Teal through weekly goals, or preview optional cosmetic themes on your own buildings. SEE YOUR SETTLEMENT IN 3D OR 2D Orbit and zoom around the 3D colony, watch its cargo ship and rotating planet, or switch to the 2D view. Both views show the same colony and progress. KEEP YOUR COLONY WITH ICLOUD Play with local autosaves, or enable optional private iCloud saving with Apple-managed encryption. Verified purchase history lets remaining supplies and protection follow the same cloud colony. Cloud saving requires an Apple Account, connectivity and the in-app consent requirements; optional cloud saving is limited to ages 16 and up. All buildings, research and progression systems can be reached without in-app purchases. Optional purchases offer supplies, permanent production benefits, timed protection and cosmetic themes. No subscriptions, advertising or third-party analytics SDKs. The stars are waiting. What will your next colony become?
