We're working on a lot of additions to the game but in the meanwhile we thought it would have been nice to let you peek and play the content!

That's why we enabled a nightly branch which can be accessed without any password directly from your Steam clients.

We will use this branch to deploy unfinished features and let you test them, currently we added:

  • lysosomes to recycle structures and materials

  • a new microtubule flow algorithm which automatically decides the flow for your items

  • a pathways view which explain the main interaction between things in the game, that will be expanded to cover all the game mechanics

You can verify the current nightly changelog directly within the game from the changelog button in main menu

Meanwhile we're working toward first breedable organism (a scout cell!) and more refined heap management for expansion and possibly internalization of them.

Nightly options and save data won't be shared between the official game and the experimental one (it will be contained in a nightly folder inside the game user data main folder) so this won't affect your game at all, feel free to experiment!
