Splitscreen coming to Colony Survival with Update 0.19

Colony Survival developers have announced that splitscreen multiplayer is in active development for the next major update, Update 0.19. An internal dev build with basic splitscreen already works, and the team is now refining every part of the game to be fully functional in splitscreen. The feature is made possible by the game's fully fleshed-out controller support, which was completed earlier.

Separately, the Blueprint Builders' Contest is wrapping up. Players have until Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 23:59 Amsterdam time to submit entries in the #blueprint-contest-entries channel on the official Colony Survival Discord. Each participant can share up to seven blueprints in a single post, ideally a set of related buildings (e.g., castle walls, gates, and towers). All blueprints must be buildable in vanilla, unmodded Colony Survival.

The top five entries win Steam keys to give to friends. The top three winners will also have a new decorative item of their choosing added permanently to the game, provided it fits the existing art style and they collaborate with the developers to realize the idea. Prizes: first place receives five keys plus their item idea; second place four keys plus item; third place three keys plus item; fourth place two keys; fifth place one key.

Entries must include the blueprint names, a short text description, at least one screenshot per blueprint, the blueprint codes, and the item the player would like to add to the Oddity Press. Judging prioritizes reusability and how well the blueprints fit into another player's world over sheer impressiveness.
