Cell to Singularity - Evolution Never Ends News

Hello Universe Architects,

The James Webb Space Telescope started collecting its first images, and we're not far behind! Our first ever Exploration is making its way back to the simulation with new and improved features...



If you missed your opportunity to learn about the JWST and to collect its limited time badges, you're luckier than a wish on a shooting star.

All Universe Architects will have a second chance to explore the James Webb Telescope within the simulation from May 24th at 12:00 PM EST to May 29th at 12:00 PM EST!

[h2]Improved Gameplay Tuning[/h2]
Progression through the Exploration tree now makes more sense. While our top priority has been improving completion rates, our team has also tackled tuning to make missions feel more fair!



[h2]For The Completionists[/h2]
Originally you could only win a bronze, silver OR gold badge. Now you can get all three! Collect the new James Webb Space Telescope bronze and Christmas Launch silver with revamped designs.



[h2]Collect More Flies With Honey Than With Vinegar[/h2]
We gave the Quantum Charge some love, too! Modeled after the JWST's honeycomb mirrors, you can catch this beauty doing its thing on the Exploration tree. Unlocking that currency burst never felt so sweet!



[h3]Additional Features:[/h3]
+ The badge bug has been fixed! If you obtained a gold badge in the Exploration's first run but it disappeared, you'll now be able to add it back to your collection.
+ Additional QoL and gameplay tweaks.

If you experience any issues or have questions, please comment below or email us at [email protected]. We'd love to hear your feedback!

And a big shout out to everyone who inquired about rerunning the James Webb Telescope Exploration! We can't wait to get the ball rolling on making even more past limited time events more accessible to all Universe Architects.

We hope you're as excited as we are for the dawn of returning Explorations!

Hello Universe Architects,

One journey to the stars wasn't enough! Join our team as we prepare for a returning Exploration about the making of the James Webb Space Telescope.



The James Webb Telescope Exploration, which first launched on February 26th, will be back and better than ever!

While most Exploration features will be unchanged from the original, there are a few new enhancements to look forward to:

• Gameplay tweaks to make traversing through the Exploration tree fairer and more fun!
  
• Catch a Quantum Charge with a fun, new look!
  
• Missed your chance at a JWST badge (or three)? You're in luck!
  

In the coming week, our team is focused on polishing the finishing touches before countdown day. So keep an eye out for simulation updates and an official Exploration announcement by next week!

We hope you're ready to travel to the deep depths of space with us one more time.
Strap in- it's going to be out of this world.

Hi Universe Architects,

An updated roadmap is finally here!



Our team is very excited for our continued development of limited-time Exploration events. We're currently working on the newest edition, as well as implementation of returning Explorations.

As for future updates, our sights are currently set on returning to the updated Civilization Garden! Our team has already made significant progress on it, and we're looking forward to seeing it through to completion.

While these plans are subject to change internally, we will be providing future roadmap updates to reflect any large differences in planned development.

We'd love to hear your feedback! Please leave a comment or email us at [email protected].

Hello Universe Architects,

Since the end of the Fungus Among Us Exploration, our top priority has been retrieving everyone's lost badges! We hope this light update will help improve your simulation experience.


If you were affected by the sudden disappearance of your hard-earned Fungus Among Us badges, first off- we deeply apologize! We understand how painful it is to suddenly lose important simulation progress. Second off- there are multiple ways to fix it:

For some players, it will be automatically fixed when updating the game. For players still experiencing a 'no badges' issue, please email us at [email protected], and we'll help you restore the badges in their rightful location.

We also developed a tool that should help restore your badges if all else fails:

1. Click on the hamburger menu in the top right of your screen.
   
2. Scroll down to the bottom and select the 'Fix Fungi Badges' button.
   

[h2]Additional Features:[/h2]
- A couple mushroom clusters now appear in the Land Garden!
- Updated app icon set to change back to the Beyond.



Your patience with the badge bug is greatly appreciated! If you are still experiencing issues related to this issue, please leave a comment and email us at [email protected].

We looking forward to venturing on the next Exploration with you!

Stay cellular,
