Cell to Singularity - Evolution Never Ends News

Patch 13.04: Explore More! What Are the Upcoming Plans for Cell To Singularity?

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!



[h2]What are Explorations?[/h2]

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!

[h2]Premiere vs. Rerun[/h2]

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!

[h2]About the Logit Store[/h2]

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?

[h2]Kicking things off with a rerun of Unfold The Universe![/h2]



[h3]From July 26th to August 1st at 12:00 PM EST, blast back into space with the James Webb Space Telescope. [/h3]

[h2]What's New?[/h2]
- 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'.

Get Philosophical with The Big Questions Exploration!

[h3]Hello Universe Architects,[/h3]

[h3]Who am I? What’s the right thing to do? Is everyone except for me secretly a soulless zombie only pretending to be conscious? These are the big questions that keep us up at night. If science won’t provide the answers, maybe there's another way…?[/h3]
