HOTFIX 11.26: Another fix for the Webb Button. Please let us know if this shows the event popup after pressing the event button.

HOTFIX 11.24: We removed code that might have been preventing the event panel from popping up. Please let us know if this fixed the issue.

HOTFIX 11.22: Many players are reporting and issue entering the Webb event. This hotfix should fix the problem. Please comment if it does fix the issue for your game.





Join Semblance on a fast-paced journey to the stars in the James Webb Telescope Exploration! From February 26th to March 2nd, you can embark on Cell To Singularity's first ever Exploration event. Let's take a look at what's in store...

Learn about how the JWST came to be and everything in between. Race against the clock to complete a new limited-time tree and discover interesting facts about this extraordinary space telescope!

• 40+ traits to purchase and read!
  
• 6 crystallized generators to unlock.
  
• Collect a new kind of currency: Honeycomb Mirrors!

Your exploration starts with a new tree! Start with a Ground Telescope and work your way up past the James Webb Telescope itself. There's so much to discover along the way!



Become the ultimate draftsman with a complete 3D model of the James Webb Telescope! Start with a basic sketch, then watch it develop as you progress through the tree.



Once the event ends, you'll be awarded with a James Webb Telescope badge! Based on your Exploration progress, your badge will be bronze, silver or gold. Which when will you get?



NOTE: We extended the event by 1 day to give player more time because of the button bug

Good luck, Universe Architects! We can't wait to see how far you progress in this pursuit of knowledge.

Hello Cells Beta Testers,

The simulation is ready for an important test. Join us for the beginnings of our first Exploration Event... Unfold the Universe: Explore James Webb Telescope!

Learn about the James Webb Space Telescope while you build a brand new tree- dedicated to the most power full telescope in our known universe!

+ Collect a new currency called Honeycomb Mirrors, grow an economy with 6 generators, and unlock over 40 informational limited-time nodes!
+ What went into the development and construction of the James Webb Telescope? Follow the story of the launch and its final destination at the Lagrange point!



Time is of the essence! In this new Exploration Event, your goal will be to unlock the JWST Artifact. How do you get it? By successfully completing this micro simulation before time runs out!

Along the way, you will be able to rank up the special JWST Exploration Badge from Bronze to Silver to Gold. The higher the level of your badge, the better the boost it will provide for your entire simulation! Oh, and don't forget about your chance to earn Darwinium for the Exploration missions you complete.











So far, we are planning to launch this Exploration Event to the public late next week. This beta test is a necessary step to finalize details, fix bugs, and to help the Exploration move forward.

We really appreciate your help during this exciting Cells chapter! Let us know if you have any thoughts or feedback, and please leave your comments and suggestions on this Steam post or in our Discord beta channel.

Hello Universe Architects,

As you may already know, the simulation has received a major tuning update! To help these new mechanics perform their best, we're providing a followup support patch, as well as a quick overview of the recent Beyond tuneup.

Here's what to look out for:

We heard your artistic input about the new Simulation Switcher! This button has since received a bit of a makeover, omitting the individual ranks at first glance.



We've resolved some issues that players were experiencing with the Darwinium bundle offers. Now new players can see special Darwinium bundles available for their first three days after downloading the game!



We also want to address any confusion or concerns regarding the recent re-tune. This is the first tuning update since 10.38 (December 2021). Based on data from that version, our primary goals with this update were:

- Spread out the time it takes to complete missions more evenly across each rank.
- Spread out the celestial body cost and production to make each one feel more unique and powerful, especially later in the universe ranks.

To achieve these goals we cranked up the difficulty of earlier missions in each universe rank (starting with Rank 5) and eased off the difficulty of the later missions. We also completely re-balanced all of the celestial bodies from Uranus out. This should help even out the pacing of all of the missions and make unlocking a new celestial body feel more substantial.

It is worth noting though that if you were attempting to reach a goal like getting Alpha Centauri to rank 8, that would be significantly harder now. This was admittedly an oversight - the tuning was focused on making the mission progression better but did not account for personal goals and achievements. We’ll be looking into how to address that, perhaps by adjusting the requirements for the upper-level achievements.

We hope we were able to further clarify the purpose for these drastic gameplay updates. If you have additional input or questions about this patch or the previous one, please leave a comment below!

Thank you, Universe Architects! We look forward to hearing your feedback.

Hello Universe Architects,

The simulation has been updated! We're coming at you with a new and improved patch for the Beyond.

Prepare for landing! Zoom in on Celestial Bodies using improved camera mechanics, and get almost as close to a planet's surface as an astronaut returning home.



Come to the dark side... and see all the pretty lights! We've updated Earth's texture to give it the nightlife ambiance it truly deserves.



Move over, Mesozoic Valley. After achieving Rank 1, each rank up in the Beyond now gives a 25% boost to the Main Simulation!



Some features felt like they were missing in the Beyond's gameplay. With the help of our game designer, we were able to make the Beyond even more fun and enjoyable to play.



- Fleshed out information and format of star descriptions (pictured above).
- Readjusted generator prices and incomes.
- Mission requirements have been adjusted.
- Galactic Nursery now has more relevant Enhancement Card payout.
- Astronomy Missions now have a tutorial after unlocking the Moon on Rank 2!

These re-tunes were designed to make the Beyond more balanced for all of our players. We'd love to hear your feedback about them, and we hope you enjoy!

- An unlocked 'Terraform Mars' achievement affects Mars' appearance in the Beyond Garden!
- Updated 'Simulation Switcher' button- now featuring your current rank for each simulation!
- Tap & Hold to buy generators works now in the main simulation.

If you are interested in joining the public beta you will need to switch to the beta branch in the steam properties for this game.

Hello Universe Architects,

The simulation has been updated! This small and exciting update contains a couple visual improvements, a new camera customization option, and some limited-time festivities!

Orbits or no orbits? Toggle between different UI options when snapping a photo of your galactic masterpiece in camera mode!



While this may be a small change, we altered the hierarchy of the planet UI and typography. Now it should be easier to read and identify objects in the Beyond Garden!



We've decked the simulation with loads of holiday cheer! Warm yourself by a festive fireplace or spot a new icy friend in outer space.



+ Improved Beyond Garden visuals! Background stars now have more realistic sizes and colors.
+ Improved Astronomy Mission balancing! Early levels should be easier now (specifically Ranks 3-6).
+ The Kuiper and Asteroid Belt brightness has been reduced so that they no longer clutter the screen.

As we head towards the end of the year, the Cells team will be going on winter break from December 23rd - January 3rd.

We hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday, and we can't wait to come back in January with cellular plans for 2022.

Happy Holidays, and stay cellular!

Hello Universe Architects,

Your universe simulation has been updated! We've removed the speed slider in the side menu, and we implemented an alternate speed feature to better showcase the complexity of orbital motion in our solar system.

Here's how it works:

Fiddle with different buttons that will play, pause, rewind, and fast forward your planets! Watch Deimos slowly circle around Mars at +3 hr/sec, or see Sedna's 10,000 year orbit take no time at all!



- The moon is now tidally locked to Earth!
- Hale-Bopp and Halley's Comet tails' stick around while the simulation is moving fast!
- The icon for the Heliosphere has been updated!
- Camera stability while viewing planets in the garden has been improved. Enjoy further developed camera locking and non-existent camera shaking!

- FIX: You can now zoom in on Vesta in the garden.
- FIX: We found the "-" symbol that was missing on some English enhancement cards.
- The cube payout amount in Mutagen bundles has been adjusted.
- Starting the Super Charge boost will no longer center you on that object.
- Exiting Photo Mode will no longer change the screen angle.
- Performance improvements for the garden's orbit lines have been implemented.
- For new Universe Architects: The Black Hole event has now been changed to a local portal that requires 200 individual clicks in order to enter the Beyond (online or off)!

We hope you enjoy these improvements as we continue polishing the Beyond expansion!

As our team looks ahead at what's to come for Cell To Singularity, we look forward to hearing your continued feedback!

Stay cellular, Universe Architects!
