🐾 Pet Expansion, Ectoplasm & Clickdex Overhaul | v5.0.50

This update adds 39 new pets, introduces the Mythic rarity and Mythic Trove, adds Ectoplasm and Pet Fusions, expands the Clickdex with new filters and sorting options, improves notifications, and makes important game information easier to understand.

🐾 39 New Pets

A total of 39 new pets have been added across every rarity!

🌌 Mythic Pets & Mythic Trove

The Mythic rarity is now available!

The new Mythic Trove has also been added alongside the new Mythic pets, giving players another endgame rarity to collect and work toward.

🧬 Pet Families

Pets now belong to different families.

Pet families are currently displayed as tags inside the Steam Inventory. Future updates will expand the family system directly into the game with:

• Clickdex layouts organized by Pet Family • Unique descriptions and blurbs for individual pets • More personality and identity throughout your collection

🔎 Clickdex Improvements

The Clickdex has received several UI improvements and new quality-of-life features.

Pets can now be filtered by:

• Rarity • Unlocked status • Locked status • Any combination of rarity and unlock status

Pets can now be sorted by:

• Rarity • Level • Power • Name • Quantity owned

The Clickdex header has also been reorganized to display collection information more clearly.

Additional visual and layout improvements are still planned.

⚡ New Power Rating

A new Power Rating stat has been added to the Clickdex.

Power Rating is calculated directly from the current boost provided by each pet:

• Every 1% pet boost provides 10 Power • A pet providing +10% has a Power Rating of 100 • Power Rating gives you a clearer way to compare the strength of your pets

📚 Collected & Unlocked Tracking

The Clickdex header now includes clearer collection tracking.

Your Collected and Unlocked totals are displayed directly in the header using a compact format such as:

84 / 115

⬆️ Tier-Up Improvements

Pets that are ready to tier up now stand out more clearly from the rest of your collection.

• Eligible pets now pop more prominently from the page • The old “Upgrade” label has been replaced with “TIER UP” • The Tier Up button has received an improved visual design • The interface now more clearly explains that duplicate pets and Wild Pets can be used

🔔 New Notifications

New notifications have been added to help prevent players from missing available actions.

Notifications can now appear when:

• One or more pets are ready to tier up • An Incubator is ready to hatch • A Daily Challenge reward is ready to claim

The relevant navigation buttons will now clearly indicate which screen requires your attention.

🌍 Community Boost Clarity Improvements

The Collective Growth and Global Surge timer pop-ups now clearly display the multipliers currently in effect.

Hover over either timer with your mouse to view expanded information explaining exactly what each boost provides.

Boost multiplier displays throughout the game have also been normalized into consistent formats, such as:

• ×10.00 • +10.00×

This makes it easier to understand whether an effect applies a full multiplier or adds to an existing multiplier.

🎨 Theme & UI Improvements

Several interface elements have been updated to better match their surrounding themes.

• Updated the Clicker Cruise Control button and text colors • Updated the Drop Luck information button • Restyled the Drop Luck information pop-up panel

These elements now fit more naturally with the visual themes used throughout the game.

👻 Ectoplasm & Pet Conversion

Wild Pets[duplicate] can now be converted into Ectoplasm.

More lower rarity pets by hatch chance provide less Ectoplasm, while harder-to-hatch pets provide more.

The current Ectoplasm yield is calculated using:

Base Ectoplasm = Minimum Base × (Highest Hatch Chance in Egg ÷ Pet Hatch Chance)^0.75

This means a pet with a lower hatch chance will provide more Ectoplasm than a pet with a higher hatch chance from the same egg pool.

Ectoplasm yields may fluctuate as new pets are released and hatch weights are slightly adjusted to make room for them.

The formula, conversion values, Fusion costs, and other associated values may also be rebalanced as the system develops.

🔄 Ectoplasm Rarity Conversion

Lower-rarity Ectoplasm can be converted into higher-rarity Ectoplasm.

These conversion rates are balanced around hatch requirements, pet drop rates, and the difficulty of obtaining each rarity.

🧪 Pet Fusions

Ectoplasm can now be spent on Pet Fusions.

A Fusion allows you to select a rarity and instantly hatch a pet from that rarity without completing normal hatch progress.

Each Fusion requires 250 Ectoplasm matching the selected rarity, along with a Coin cost.

A Fusion can produce between 1x - 10x of the same pet.

🎲 Fusion & Collectable Import Multipliers

Pet Fusions and Collectable Pet imports use the same multiplier chances.

Higher multiplier results become progressively rarer, with a 10× result intended to feel like an exceptional reward!

🎒 Collectable Pet Import Improvements

Importing a Collectable Pet can now award between 1x - 10x of that pet.

This gives every Collectable Pet import a chance to provide additional wild pets for tiering and collection progression.

🏋️ Upcoming Pet Training Center

Ectoplasm will also be used in the upcoming Pet Training Center.

The Pet Training Center is planned as an endless long-term progression system that allows players to permanently strengthen individual pets.

• Training will consume Ectoplasm • Every completed session will permanently strengthen the selected pet • Each new training level will require more resources • Training sessions will take progressively longer to complete • Individual improvements will remain small but add up significantly over time

The goal is to give duplicate pets and Ectoplasm lasting value while creating a progression system that can always be worked toward.

This feature is still in development and is not yet available.

ℹ️ New Trove Hub Information Panel

A new information button has been added to the top-left corner of the Trove Hub.

This panel clearly explains the drop chances and reward systems connected to:

• Egg Troves • Trove hatches • Button Blessings • Bonus rewards • Other related drop systems

Additional Trove and reward statistics are also available through this panel.

💬 Tooltip Improvements

The Prestige tooltip has received a cleaner layout and now provides more detailed information about the boosts earned through Prestige.

A new purchase-failure tooltip has also been added.

When a purchase fails, the game will now clearly display how many Coins or Egg Shards you are missing.

🐭 Nibbles is Hatching SOON!

The community is approaching 50 billion global clicks, which means the new Community Pet Nibbles has almost hatched!

Thank you to everyone who contributed clicks and helped push the community across another massive milestone.

📦 Asset Size Optimizations

The file size of several game assets has been reduced by a combined total of more than 86 MB.

This helps reduce the game’s overall download size and storage impact.

Because this update also introduces many new pet assets, the reduction may not be immediately noticeable in the final update size. However, these optimizations help offset the size of the newly added content.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where an EXP reward could remain visible after a Bonus Reward or Egg Trove sequence had finished

⚠️ Development Notice

Additional balancing, visual improvements, and system changes may occur as Ectoplasm, Pet Fusions, Mythic Troves, Pet Families, and the expanded Clickdex continue to develop.

More improvements are already planned.
