Build

Living worlds, not empty land

Drop a region server onto your parcel and it becomes part of a working economy — farms, stations, vendors and gatherables that other people have a reason to travel to. No scripting on your part.

  • A finished RPG system, maintained and updated for you
  • Every station customisable to your own mesh and build
  • Your region joins the live directory automatically

Craft

Professions that take real work

Gather, smelt, brew, cook and forge. Skills rise through use, and the chain runs deep — starch to sugar, sugar to alcohol, alcohol to something worth aging and bottling.

  • Dozens of documented crafting stations
  • Recipes with genuine input chains, not one-click results
  • Tools wear down; know your durability

Trade

Every coin comes from somebody's work

Nothing is spawned by the system. Every item on every vendor was gathered and made by a player, and priced by what another player will pay for it.

  • Player-run vendors, market hubs and mailboxes
  • Supply chains that cross regions
  • Prices set by people, not by a shop script

Two ways in

Whichever end you come at it from

Players need somewhere worth going. Builders need someone to turn up. SL Colonies is the same system from both sides.

For players

Pick a trade and work it

Gather, craft, cook, brew, hunt and trade. Professions level through use, and the good stuff is always on somebody else’s parcel — so you travel, and you meet people doing the same.

  • Free to start — you need the HUD and meter, not a subscription
  • Dozens of regions to explore, each with its own rules
  • Achievements, profiles and Discord integration on the way

For world builders

Give your land something to do

Drop in a region server and your parcel becomes part of a working economy — with a reason for players to keep coming back, and no scripting on your part.

  • A finished RPG system, maintained for you
  • Players must visit other lands to progress — that is your footfall
  • Owner-authored region pages on the way

31 regions live

One system, no two regions alike

Owners set the theme, the rules and the rhythm. The same economy runs underneath a pirate harbour and an irradiated wasteland.

On the way

Where the system goes next

An identity that follows you — across the regions, the forum and Discord — and a reason for players to keep coming back to your land. Some of it is already here.

  • In development

    Colony management, rebuilt

    For colony leaders: see everything your colony owns, what its stations are making and who is working on what — with members, roles and permissions in one place.

  • In development

    A new marketplace

    The market rebuilt from the ground up — every offer readable, priced in its own currency, with who is selling and where to go and get it. Sales and purchases already in flight carry on untouched.

  • In development

    Achievements

    Recognition for what you genuinely did — the long grind to a profession cap, the rare find. Earned in-world, not bought.

  • In development

    Public player profiles

    A page that is yours: professions and levels, achievements earned, and the regions you call home.

  • Done

    Discord that knows you

    Link once and your achievements surface in Discord, so what happens in-world is visible when you are logged off.

  • Done

    Region pages you write

    For land owners: fill in a form and get a proper page for your region here, linked from the live directory.

Progress is written up as it happens — see the Herald for release notes and the monthly Chronicles.

Your Gems are Money now

Gems used to sit on your profile doing nothing. As of today they spend in our shop, at one gem to L$1 — no conversion to work out, no exchange rate to check. If something costs L$600, it costs 600 gems. What they buy…
