With the release of 0.96, we now have the ability to completely customize our colonies; meaning that we now have something new in the game to be creative about. I have already redone my colony, but I'm also curious - what do other people's colonies look like? Did you do something super inventive? Is your colony a dense, wild forest or a fine, orderly one? Do you have an obsession with lamps? Is there any story you made up for the placement of any specific tree or other structure? Feel free to post some photos of your own colony here! Here are some notable parts of my colony: Here is the temple of the Forest Guardian; extended into a larger ruin featuring more than just one main building - and with structures lined behind it to give it more depth. The ruined pillars and buildings surrounding it give of the suggestion that this "new" temple built after coming to the Wildwood is far from new at all, and that it was instead built a very long time ago... But by who, and why? For the Forest Guardian? Or some other being of similar power and majesty... Next we have Krampy's humble abode: I placed a large willow tree just behind his den to give off the impression that he's living inside a giant willow tree, instead of just the hollowed out stump of one. Great Deku Tree vibes anyone? And last but not least we have the garden: Phantom and Alabaster take good care tending the soil with their love of growing things, and provide the colony with the healing supplies the cats need after fending off the voidling attacks - a more consistent source than happening upon them in the wild. The earthy soil that sits upon the bank of the stream is perfect for growing herbs and flowers, and the moles seem to agree with the richness of the earth, since that's also where they seem to have built their mine. This update is spectacular so far, and I'm excited to see what people do with this. I wonder if we'll see some good pixel art, like the insides of the player's den?

I like the central tree arc with all the dense trees, and the colony having been built around the temple! But I think the best part has to be Zephyr’s private resort—I love the exclusive oasis they have!

But I think the best part has to be Zephyr’s private resort—I love the exclusive oasis they have! Thanks, I wanted each to have an area around their dens that suited them. Some are harder than others but Zephyr needed that beach! It's right up their alley haha. Still I very much like your layout, the temple is so amazing. Like a lost civilisation being found and it all looks very interconnected. Each area meshes well with one another. Putting Phantom and Alabaster close to the garden makes sense since they both like plants. I might end up moving my stuff around again but it's pretty nice being able to choose where you want stuff to be.

Thanks! This update is amazing! It was a bit daunting to start and place everything, but it eventually came together wonderfully.

I’m working on my layout and I’m super proud of it but idk how to screenshot the whole thing Like Emerald wrote, you zoom out which is an option in the settings. I take a screen shot of the top of the map and the bottom and then just put them together in a art program. Hope that helps. I wanna see everyone's colonies!

The day the update dropped, I made a new file with a colony modeled after the Forest Colony from the first game. :D

That looks great! The placement of things is all very reminiscent to the original Forest Colony, such as the stream running past Mayor’s den. Also, the placement of the mine next to the river makes me think of the canyon mine; which had a river flowing next to it as well.
