Cell to Singularity - Evolution Never Ends News

Hi Universe Architects,

Let’s rock and roll! We’ve been listening to many player requests over the years asking us to turn an April Fool’s joke into a reality. Now rocks and minerals have finally joined the simulation, and we can’t wait to get down to the nitty gritty.

Are you ready for this?

[h2]Explore: Rocks — Set in Stone[/h2]


[h2]Sticks and Stones[/h2]
The research in this Explore Event is rock solid. Start at the earthly origins of Minerals, and work your way up through the rock cycle to reach the glistening beauty of crystals.

• Collect 48 new Research Nodes and discover their components.
  
• Upgrade 6 new Generators to gain the highest quality production.
  

[h2]Mineral Stockpile[/h2]
Mine rocks from the comfort of your couch. Enter the Explore Event garden and utilize your tapping power to break apart rocks and gems. It’s very satisfying!




[h2]Hidden Gems[/h2]
No need to dive deep into any caves. With a little elbow grease, these sparkling treasures can appear in the palm of your hand.

• Dust off and acquire three new valuable badges: Rock Cycle, Crystal and Gongshi.
  
• Mine the Gemstone Quantum Charge to obtain its riches.
  

[h2]Shine Bright Like a Diamond[/h2]
We’ve struck gold! Along with a new event, this release features an updated tutorial for new players, the introduction of the friend system, and more:

• Customizable player profiles are better than ever. Your personal player profile can now be accessed in the Settings menu in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
  
  
• Have a fellow Cells loving friend? Add them to your friends list through your player profile. Once a friend has been added, you can track their Explore Event progress on the tree while you play. This is a repurposed feature from the past, and we hope you enjoy its new and improved form!
  
  • *Note: Friends cannot actively compete together in the same Leaderboard division. A max of 100 friends can be added in the friends list.
• The Global Leaderboard has been removed from the Neural Network and is now available inside the player profile card.
  
• We streamlined the Global Leaderboard tiers to be more straightforward. You can also earn Darwinium when you rank up after your Simulation Score increases.
  
  
  
  
• New to the simulation? There’s now an updated beginner’s tutorial at the beginning of the game.
  

This topic has been a long time coming. We owe it to our players who have voiced their interest in geological studies over the years, including those who have voted in the most recent Explore Event survey. Thank you for your contributions!

The Civilization Screenshot Contest is approaching its deadline. Have you submitted your screenshot of the updated Ancient Civilization garden? It’s a chance for some very talented photographers to win up to 2,000 Darwinium cubes. Read the contest rules, details and other information on the official contest page. Good luck to everyone participating!

Not to worry, space fans— another episode of the Beyond is underway. While we can’t share too much information yet, it’s safe to say that the upcoming content will really suck you in.

Enjoy this new Explore Event! And remember— don’t take learning for granite.

Welcome Universe Architects,

Beyond E25 had us explore our solar system’s galaxy. It’s time to return back to Earth and set sail. Another age is upon us as we begin to travel through the early modern period. Join Semblance as humanity travels across land and sea in the — Age of Exploration.



[h2]A New Era[/h2]
With the expansion of the Primary Simulation, the Age of Discovery has evolved into the Age of Exploration. It was a transformative period in history where different civilizations discovered one another and laid the groundwork for globalization.

• Unlock five new nodes such as the rocket and global trade in the Age of Exploration tech tree.
  

[h2]West Meets East[/h2]
The need for adventure grew with the promise of profit from overseas trade. As land routes were plagued with desires of control, many looked to the potential of ocean passages as an alternative route. As such, development of ships and weapons arose for the journey ahead.

• Zip through the sea with the caravel.
  
• Following its success, the caravel led to the development of its descendant— the galleon. These are large ships that were cheap to build and could be converted into warships.
  
• Arm your ship with muskets and cannons to prevent any nautical threats.
  
• Much more lies ahead for your discovery.
  

[h2]Spice Controls the Universe[/h2]
Three new Augmentations are ready to be added to your fleet.

• Invest your Logits to establish the Spice Islands western trade route with Magellan’s Expedition.
  
• Uncover the lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu— a masterpiece of civil engineering.
  
• Witness the construction of the Taj Mahal, a marble mausoleum inspired by a blend of Indian, Persian and Islamic architecture.
  

[h2]Fluffy Overload[/h2]
A wooly secret achievement is waiting to be discovered. Can you find this sacred creature? Spitting is optional.



[h3]Additional Features:[/h3]

• You can now track the Science Point progress of your friends on the Leaderboard!
  
• Fixed: Text is no longer missing on the Ursa Major and Eridanus achievement tooltips.
  
• Fixed: Placeholder icons are no more for the E25 generator achievements.
  
• Fixed: Tapping production should now be scaling correctly in Explore: Money’s challenge mode.
  
• Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
  

To celebrate the release of the new Civilization update, we are holding a Civilization Screenshot Contest starting August 19, 2024 at 3:00 PM ET. Share your favorite or most impressive screenshot of the Ancient Civilization garden. More details regarding the contest will be posted soon. Lucky players will receive the Infinity pass as a prize. Join in and show us your most cinematic shots!

It’s been more than a year since we started renovating Ancient Civilization in the Primary Simulation. We hope players enjoyed the new content that’s been added and the garden’s new look. It has come a long way and we are proud of the incredible work our 3D artist Jenna has accomplished.

Thank you for playing. We're always aiming to rock your world.
