Story
In Colonterra, you are a Scientist working for The Company. They have just acquired the planet Veturius after defeating the Democratic Republic of America in a 13-year war that cost around 17 million lives. The DRA have colonized this planet before, but recalled all their troops for this war. And now, because The Company is low on resources, they sent you to Veturius to gather resources and establish a settlement there.
Survival
In order to survive on this wild planet, you have to keep an eye on your hunger, your thirst - and of course on the flora and fauna living on this planet. There are alien plants everywhere that could help you, but also dangers lurking in this beautiful world. The Company has given you a small guide on what creatures you can expect. Prepare to meet the Excavator, the Cloudstriker and the Syntala.
Tasks
The Company gives you tasks to complete on the planet and in return you get new technologies and points you can spend on more advanced food, buildings and even weapons.
The Locals
The Locals on this planet call themselves "The Shiva". The Company warned you not to interact or communicate with them in any way. They mostly use primitive weapons, but also many different toxins and other plant and animal-based weapons. They are one with the world and the world is one with them. Most animals will behave different when around the locals. But are they really that dangerous? Maybe you could still find a way to trade and help each other out. But I don’t think that The Company will be pleased by your actions...
In this game, there are two factions: The Company and the Locals. You have to decide what side you want to be on. Then you can complete quests and commissions for the faction. When you gain trust with one faction, you lose it with the other. Each faction will give you different perks, weapons and other bonuses. Even Pets aren`t completely unheard of...
Build and Craft
In Colonterra, you have the possibility to build bases and craft advanced technologies or biological wonders. Your suit has an inbuild Atom Transmitter, in short AT, that can construct whatever you want - as long as you unlock the code it needs to build a certain piece. Build structures, weapons, tasty meals - whatever you can think of - as long as you have the resources.
Predators
The biomes you venture through on your journey on this planet seem so beautiful and free, but on closer inspection, you’ll notice that these lands are plagued by predators. Dangerous, wild and uncontrollable animals that destroy wildlife and hunt down the Inhabitants of this Planet. Killing them might be the key to new areas and resources. This world, the locals and The Company might thank you.
The Ancients
The more you venture into these lands, the more you notice the tracks of another civilization. Very old and possibly also very advanced. You find tracks of a powerful energy source in those artifacts. But where is this source? Does it even exist? Does this civilization still exist anywhere? Some of these questions might be answered by reaching this very odd-looking tower in the distance, but the road could be long.
So go ahead. start your Journey on Venturius and - don´t get lost.
