I must say, this map from Niko has completely exceeded my expectations. This map offers a whole new level of excitement and exploration, making every gaming session a thrilling adventure.

One of the standout features of Colony is the Central Colony Base. It's a sprawling complex with numerous rooms to explore, offering safe zones amidst the chaos of Rust. The inclusion of air, rail, and ground transport options adds layers of strategic gameplay, and the presence of both bandit and outpost elements creates dynamic interactions.

The Laser Mines are a brilliant replacement for quarries. Watching the lasers blast the ground to produce ore is not only visually captivating but also provides a unique mining experience.

The various domes scattered throughout the map, each with its own designation, provide essential resources like wood and water in limited supply, adding a survival element to the gameplay.

Exploring the crashed UFO and navigating through its interior is an exhilarating experience, while the Nuclear Waste & Reprocessing facility adds an eerie atmosphere with its irradiated surroundings.

The Transport Hub offers convenient access to various modes of transportation, while the Observation Post and Space Telescope provide opportunities for scenic views and discovery.

The inclusion of underground access to train tunnels adds another dimension to the map's exploration, and landmarks like the Lander and Rocket add to the immersive sci-fi theme.

The presence of unique structures like the M577 APC, Mt Shart Volcano, Satellite Graveyard, Atom Smasher, Alien Tomb, and Alien Cube further enriches the gameplay experience, offering diverse challenges and rewards.

Lastly, the Agrifarm provides a crucial resource for sustaining the colony, emphasizing the importance of agriculture in a survival setting.

Overall, Colony is a masterfully crafted custom map that injects new life into the Rust experience. It's a testament to the creativity and dedication of its creators, and I highly recommend it to any Rust server owner looking to elevate their players' gaming experience.

Niko has outdone himself on this. Colony Is such a different game dynamic that I have never seen before. Exploring a map has never been so fun and different. The attention to detail as always is top notch.

I'm blown away by this map. It's like playing a whole different game. Niko has outdone himself on this one. So much potential that I started another server just to host it. 5 stars all the way on this one. Few things to polish but an amazing experience for sure.

Amazing how Niko went all-in on this one, I have never ever seen a map like this. You start with a spacesuit and oxygen, and it doesnt take long before you find out why: you cant breathe outside the buildings and bases so the gear is essential to have. Once you've spawned and start walking around you soon realize how perfect everything is and how smooth and clean everything looks, the details are mindblowing. While exploring and trying to stay alive you see meteors hitting the planet left and right, and since its dark you see everything extra clear. Explore the monuments and make sure you survive

Recommended to anyone who wants something totally different on his/her server.

This map is out of this world. "Colony" redefines the gaming experience with its groundbreaking mechanics and immersive gameplay. From the need for oxygen outside to the constant threat of meteor bombardment, every moment in "Colony" feels tense and exhilarating. The diverse array of locations, from the central colony base to the alien tomb and beyond, offer endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.

But it's not just the locations that set "Colony" apart—it's the dynamic gameplay features that truly make it shine. Spacedrops, solar power plants, and more add depth and complexity to every decision, while force fields and other elements keep you on your toes at all times.

In "Colony," every choice matters, and every adventure feels like a journey into the unknown. If you're ready to experience Rust in a whole new way, "Colony" is the map for you.
