Description

Space Colony is a game released in 2003 by Firaxis Studios, most known for their Stronghold series. In this game you manage a colony on a distant planet. The personel is made out of many inviduals - each of them have diffirent needs and personality. The game consists of the main campain that let's you meet some of the characters that work for the Blackwater Industries - a somewhat shady space mining and exploration organization that is known for hiring social mishaps who weren't able to find a more safe job. Then the campain splits into two branches - peaceful and military. Other modes include the Galaxy mode which consists of many scenarios on difirent worlds, Sandbox mode and user levels.

As an manager of such place you need to make sure your colonists are satisfied so they can work longer, construct biodomes and place beds, showers, mesa halls and other facilities inside them. You must also ensure people inside your base are getting along - some of them can be very anit-social and may offen start fights with others which will negativly affect their health. Manage extraction of the planet's natural resources and sell them for profit. Protect the colony from alien lifeforms that range from simple bugs and aggresivly fast growing plants to inteligent space invaders and inter-dimensional beings.

The game recived two updates:

  • version 1.1 fixes the repair station along with some other minor bugfixes
  • version 1.2 is commonly known as HD update. It increases the max screen resolution and improves the graphics.

It also got released on Steam with all the updates included.

It's probably a bad gogid. And we required md5 checksum. Also gog installation required sometimes a lot of patch. Maybe you can drop the gog support for now. We usually use a different script for GOG games

I think its good since it dosen't give the 404 not fount error. Actually I'm sure its the correct gogid since you can find space_colony_hd in the game's page on GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/space_colony_hd). You have to right-click and click on "show page's source". Not sure about the instalation but let's see if someone who owns this game on GOG reports something.

It appears I copied an older script which had an old link to the patcher in the LOCAL section. Fixed.

What do you mean? There is a cd version of Space Colony, Steam version and GOG version. I did not add GOG version simply because I dont have one - only the CD.

Yea but why use LOCAL ? And GOG need special script sometime

Used local because there is no GOG option in POL_SetupWindow_InstallMethod.

Because GOG are usually in a special script. GOG is a bit tricky

After testing I found out that version 3.0 of Wine allows to play this game with no problem without any extra dependencies. The CD version is outdated so the script will download the patch from the game's website.
