Tycoon Mode, Emotes, and a New Name: v1.8 & v1.8.1
v1.8 — Tycoon
v1.8 introduced something a bit different: Tycoon mode.
It's a custom game mode built to play like a Roblox simulator — incremental, satisfying, and strangely hard to put down. You build up your tycoon, automate things, and watch numbers go up in the most deliberately Roblox-y way possible.
What makes it especially worth playing: completing Tycoon unlocks emotes that carry over network-wide. They're not locked to Tycoon — unlock them there, use them everywhere on the network.
It's a weird addition. We love it.
v1.8.1 — ColonThreeMC
The network had been running without a proper identity for a while. That changed in v1.8.1.
The network was officially rebranded to ColonThreeMC — often stylised as :3 MC. The name stuck, the logo followed, and the rest is, quite literally, history.
If you've been here since before the rebrand: you've been with us for a long time, and we appreciate you more than we can say.
