Greetings, Creators!
We hope you’ve been enjoying the summer weather. Take in a good five minutes of sunlight before you shut your curtains for the remainder of the season and jump into the latest update of The Universim!
If you’ve been enjoying the game so far and want to spread the love like a warm breeze, leave us a review on Steam. Our devs receive a candy pizza for every positive review that comes in.
The Universim is currently being featured in the Steam Summer Sale with a 20% discount! If you or someone you know hasn’t picked the game up yet, it’s a great time to hop aboard.
Alien Visits
As Nuggets edge ever closer to the stars, extraterrestrial civilizations have begun to take notice. Be prepared for unexpected visitors, as well as whatever phenomena these events may bring. This is only the first contact, however, so expect to see more in future updates.
Nug-made Disasters
Nuggets have never been very competent at anything, and now it’s going to come with a cost. If uneducated Nuggets are assigned to a position beyond their capabilities, there may be unpleasant consequences. We’re talking fires, explosions, and chemical disasters.
Modern Bunker
An improvement to Bunkers that adds a new layer of comfort and protection. It’s a great place to take shelter from a disaster, or to Nugflix and chill.
Carbon Factory
A whole load of fancy tech stuff takes place behind these doors. Nuggets (well, mostly machines) are hard at work molding components and materials required to take the next step into space.
New Wonders
Leaning Tower - A familiar tower is now available to be discovered and built. It’s a little askew, but that makes it unique.
Desert Rose - Welcome to the world’s most luxurious resort. Made from the finest materials, complete with 24-carat gold inlay on the walls. No expense was spared in its construction.
New stuff:
UFO with 3 different actions (destroy buildings, kidnap Nuggets, kidnap animals).
Uneducated Nugget Disasters (They can start a plague, cause an explosion, fire).
Modern Bunker.
Leaning Tower.
Desert Rose.
Eye of the World.
Carbon Factory.
Medieval and Modern Hats and Masks are added
Bug Fixes:
Fixed: Fire causes Nugget AI to break.
Fixed: NRE when opening a trading panel after loading a save.
Fixed: Big meteor hitting the water would stay on top of water for a short time
Fixed: Opening the quick access menu for creator power did not blur the background for better visibility
Fixed: The game would not correctly load the save file after trading menu was initialized causing the save file being corrupted
Fixed: Sometimes space boxes would be duplicated and spawned one on top of another one.
Fixed: Creator powers were being casted twice on a target therefore reducing the amount of CP drastically.
Fixed: Creator power icons duplication in the quick access menu
Fixed: An issue when a nugget dies in the water, previously he would still float on the water
Fixed: Shock and Awe status would cause nuggets to get stuck and stand still
Fixed: Decals were being reset to be “On” every single time the game was reloaded. All the save settings are now being saved correctly.
Fixed: Previously nuggets would not die from fire and other destructive powers while being inside the building that received the damage
Fixed: Incorrect label for the steel factory perk

The lifetime of the building that is on fire was increased by 100% in order to allow firefighters to get on time and stop the fire.
Uneducated nuggets working in Carbon, Chemical, Plastic factories as well as Farm, Hospital, Rehabilitation Center and University can cause a Plague now.
Uneducated Nuggets working in Cement, Clone Center, Eatery, Electronic Components Factory, Engineers Hut, Fiber Factory, Gas Plant, Glass Factory, Oil Tower, Police Station, Steel Factories and Refineries can start a fire
