4.2.0 Patch Notes (March 30, 2026)

Content Expansion

  • Added new Shop Typing! These are the little icons next to the names of Quark Shop Upgrades.

Currently, there are types for Obtainium, Offerings, Cubes, (Ascension) Speed, Quarks, Infinity, and Utility.

  • Added a new EXALT! It's like a regular Singularity, but the Shop Seal Merchant seems to be gone? You need to beat the target Singularity but all NON-UTILITY Quark Upgrades are disabled. The Utility upgrades have the little 'gear' icon.

  • Added a new Quark Upgrade! The Jack of All Trades. You unlock it from the new EXALT, perhaps?

  • Added a new Rune! The Top Hat!. You earn it also from the new EXALT.

  • Condensed EXALT Tiers so that players don't need to grind as many. For example, the first Exalt now only has 15 completion tiers, instead of 30. (Most) rewards are scaled to accomodate this change. This is subject to be balanced / modified in upcoming versions

  • The Quarks Upgrade that gives Infinity Vouchers per EXALT now gives twice as many.

  • The Quarks Upgrade that gives Ambrosia Luck per EXALT now gives twice as many.

  • The Ambrosia Accelerator now gives a 0.6% Reduction to Ambrosia Reqs, per "No Ambrosia Upgrades" completion, per level.

  • AP rewards for all EXALTs are now uniform (Each tier gives the same AP in each EXALT)

  • Obtainium EX and Offering EX Quark Upgrades now give exponentially more Obt/Off every 10 levels.

  • Auto Obtainium and Auto Offering Quark Upgrades no longer give a bonus Obtainium/Offering multiplier. This multiplier has essentially transfered over to ObtainiumEX/OfferingEX.

  • Auto Runes now automatically level a Rune up as much as it can. Additional levels of that Quark Upgrade make it run ever so slightly faster (1% faster/lv)

  • Quark Hepteract Improver the 5th now scales with Infinity Vouchers! To balance this out, that upgrade now has way more max levels (80 --> 7,777), and each level has 1% of the effect. The leveling was set to 7,777 so that the Vouchers don't buff this upgrade too much! This is also subject to be balanced / modified.

  • Added a Blueberry as the reward to "No Ambrosia Upgrades" 15th tier (one more than before!)

Changes courtesy of 6030!

  • Stats for Nerds pages now use a more consistent prefix pattern to upgrade types (Like Golden Quark -, etc)

  • Refunding Quark Upgrades no longer shows a confirmation box if the Shop Confirmation setting is turned off.

  • Challenge 3 now displays correct rewards, taking the softcap into account.

  • Added more formatting to [c]synergism [/c] code, and [c]Khafra[/c] code as well.

  • Add unlock requirements to the first few Hepteracts (fixing a certain code from working pre-hepteracts)

  • Fixed a visual description about Singularity Perk "skrauQ"

  • "Seeing Red" can now be unlocked through an Ant Sacrifice

  • Challenges 11-15 no longer claim to add Cubes

  • Added i18n support for Auto Challenge Hotkey

  • Abstract Exokinetics now gives the actual correct effect in its description.

  • Season Pass Y now gives the correct checks for unlock.

  • Players in the first Singularity will no longer see "Auto Craft" hepteract buttons that don't work

  • Hepteract stuff should no longer appear in Corruption info prior to Hepteracts being unlocked.

  • Removed a line about Wow! Cubes on Ascension in Corruptions.

  • "Quark Shop" terminology is correctly changed to be "Quark Upgrades", consistent with the update.

  • Pure Scientific now displays a number as "0" only if it is much smaller than before (1e-15 --> 1e-100)

Backend Changes

  • Updated the Consumables subtab UI

  • Fixed the [c]Consumables Shop[/c] button under the Events tab not working

  • Removed third party services from the contributors subtab (no more relying on
