Public Beta 12.68 + 12.72: Put Your Thinking Caps On for the Next Exploration!

Hello Beta Testers,

The Cells team has been hard at work concocting the best formula for the simulation's next Exploration! Put on your thinking caps and get ready to brainstorm in...

[h3]The Big Questions Exploration: a limited time event about Philosophy![/h3]

We need all hands on deck from our team of beta testers! How else will we know if this Exploration is the best it could possibly be? Is the gameplay clear enough? Are the badges cool??

Woah, wait- let's save the questions for the event! In the meantime, we need to collect your intellectual data for these features:

- Expand your mind with 40+ new trait nodes and 6 new generators!
- Collect 3 new Philosophy themed badges. How do you like the designs?
- Event badges now stack when replaying events. Let us know what you think of the redesigned system!
- Welcome Logits- a new currency that is now earned in Explorations instead of Darwinium. Use Logits to redeem fun cosmetics and exclusive tree nodes!
- Where do you buy these cosmetics? At the new Logit Store!
- Unlock and add the new James Webb Telescope, Fungi and Philosophy Artifacts to their respective simulations using Logits!
- Dress Archie in new threads and give the Flatworm a complete makeover in the Logit Store!
- Redeem a starry night sky for the Mesozoic Valley in the Logit Store!
- Locate your badge collection in its own tab separate from Achievements!
- Check out new bundles when you click on the Darwinium button!
- Improvements made for Portuguese translations.
- Several bug fixes.

HOTFIX 12.72
- Fix the red dwarf dispatch missions not paying out.
- Fixes players having their Philosophy badges erased after earning them.
- Updated Logit store icons

(*Beta testers please note that if you are still enrolled in the beta program when the prod Exploration goes live, your version of the limited time event will NOT work. We currently recommend opting out of the beta program before the Exploration starts if you wish to participate.)

We can't wait to read about your experiences in the comments. Thank you for playing, and we hope you enjoy this second run of the Fungus Among Us Exploration!

Keep exploring, and stay cellular!

Launch Back into Space with the James Webb Telescope Exploration!

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.

For additional information, check out the first patch notes for the James Webb Telescope Exploration HERE!

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!

Patch 12.5: The James Webb Telescope Exploration is Returning!

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.
