We had some reports that the cutscenes of extinction events didn't show correctly, and this latest patch should fix this problem.

Let us know if you still see the issue. Thank you!


Best,

Hello Universe Architects,

A supernatural adventure awaits. The Simulation is haunted… and Semblance needs your help! A legion of ghost dodos are hidden throughout the Primary Simulation and need to be found by Halloween.

Can you find all 55 dodos?





Other Features:
+A new secret achievement to find!
+Improved translations.
+Optimizations for your simulation.
+Use the updated Game Transfer system in the options menu and collect 5 Darwinium. Back up and be safe!

Stay spooky, and stay cellular,

Hi Universe Architects, the simulation has been updated.

We will start running Exploration events every week so new players can start playing events sooner.

We are adding an events tab in to the side menu, so players know about the next two events. As premiere Exploration Events are launched, they will be added to the line-up alongside previously launched events. Ideally, new premiere Explorations will show up every 6-8 weeks.

This means the story tab will move into the Achievement tab. The Achievement tab will now house all collectible objects such as badges, achievements and story progression.

We are renaming the Logit Store to the Logit Console, to reflect that it offers options to affect the appearance of the simulation, and the System Console will now be the System Log, to reflect that it holds the story.

PATCH NOTE 14.06
- New side panel Tab for exploration events
- Save Transfer button now shows up at the top of the settings menu
- Crowdin Implementation Added (you can now contribute to translations!)
- Logits earned now will show up on non-exploration simulations
- Reward calendar updates to makes easier to read

From September 14th-21st at 12:00 PM EST, venture into the terrifying world of mass extinction and learn about past life before it disappeared forever. With everything we know now, what potential disasters lie ahead for humankind...?

From the ultimate Ice Age to the endless possibilities of Earth's final demise, extinction truly never ends. Unlock and learn about the mass extinctions that have plagued our world, including:

• The volcanic Permian Extinction!
  
• The infamous Cretaceous Extinction!
  
• An extinction that we're living in right now, and more!

How has Earth evolved over millions of years? Watch as you catastrophically alter the new Exploration Garden! Follow Earth's drastic changes with over 10 scientifically accurate geographical maps that cover the major eras of Earth's history.



Expand the possibilities of gameplay through annihilation. Toy with the new reset mechanic by only unlocking one generator at a time... then wiping out your production with each mass extinction! Strategize your way to completion as you balance prosperity and progress.

• Collect as much as you can of one generator before triggering its Extinction Event. Afterwards, it won't be available for purchase again!
  
• Unlock individual currencies for each era you discover!

Speed your way through any Exploration with badges! For each badge you collect during Exploration reruns, that Exploration speed will increase by +10%! Want to finish Unfold The Universe Exploration at warp speed? No problem with a 4X (or +40%) "Christmas Launch" badge prestige.



It all starts with LUCA: our Last Universal Common Ancestor. Utilizing DNA, you and LUCA will link together 7 new currencies in the form of species! Collect Trilobites before the Ordovician Extinction hits, and find your way to a futuristic currency in a speculative period after human extinction.



Other Apocalyptic Features:
+ Nanobots have joined Explorations! Utilize them to progress through limited-time content.
+ Browse new cosmetics and Artifacts that line the Logit Store shelves.
+ Ooo, shiny! Logits are now adorned with a golden finish.
+ A badge description scrollbar has been added! Check the prestige boosts you get from each badge with ease.

We wish you the best survival odds, and remember-- don't panic!!



Keep calm and stay cellular,

Hello Beta Testers,

An exploratory update is coming to the Primary Simulation and Logit Store! We need the help of our beta-enrolled Universe Architects to try out these new additions and improvements.

- Exploration Gateway added to the tree
- Redeem up to 5 new Logit Store items!
- Find a new secret achievement that can only be obtained through a Logit Store item!
- Check out the new Exploration Hub on the Primary Simulation tree!
- Fix: Players having issues being able to advance past Hadean Earth!
- Fix: Several minor bugs.

Our team is really excited about expanding item options in the Logit Store! We're hoping to take Logit items to the next level for upcoming Exploration premieres.

We always value your feedback to help improve the simulation before it's released to every Universe Architect. Please share your experience with us in the comments, and we look forward to reading them all!

Right click on the game in steam, and select the properties and choose betas. Then select the BETA channel.

Stay cellular,

Hello Universe Architects,

Thanks to all of your support, Explorations have found their footing. Get ready to explore more as we continue development for future Explorations!




As we all know, Cell To Singularity focuses on evolution of life on Earth. Turns out that covers a lot of ground! We've gotten so many great suggestions about unrepresented topics to introduce, but the Primary Simulation has reached critical levels.

Cramming in too much information is potentially hazardous for everyone's progress, so the Cells Team has been utilizing limited-time events, also known as... Explorations!

Explorations provide a new way to play while learning about unique topics related to science, history, technology, and beyond! And at a significantly smaller risk than if the content were permanently added to the Primary Simulation.

Pictured below is our planned rotation of Explorations! An average Exploration runs for about a week, then the next Exploration becomes available two weeks after.



For any questions about the Exploration schedule, please let us know in the comments!


Once a new Exploration is fully developed, it will premiere for its first release (yay)! Then about a week after it comes to the simulation, the Exploration will no longer be available to play. However, that doesn't mean it won't be back! That's where reruns come in.

Each Exploration will return to the simulation based on the schedule above. We hope you enjoy the Exploration medley we're concocting as we also pepper in premiere Explorations!


It hasn't been long since Logits have entered the simulation!

Logits are an Exploration-exclusive currency. Instead of obtaining Darwinium, you now earn Logits when completing Exploration missions! The more Logits you get, the more you can customize your simulation and make it the way you envision. But, how?



Logits are traded for main game cosmetics or Artifacts. Artifacts come in the form of trophies, generators, or even small branches. They provide valuable boosts to the Primary Simulation, Beyond Simulation or Mesozoic Valley- like the generators and traits we all know and love!

Want to add fungi to the Primary Tree? Purchase the Fungi Artifact in the Logit Store! Want Archie to look like he's going to the beach? Dress him up in the Logit Store!



Let us know if you also have any questions regarding Logits and the Logit Store!

In the meantime, we'll be going back to our Exploration roots. Are you ready to collect everything?





- Move over, Darwinium! Earn up to 50 Logits by completing Exploration missions!
- Stargaze at the first ever James Webb Space Telescope image as the updated icon for 'First Images'.
