The universim creator mode free download

[h3]Hello Creators,[/h3]

We hope youve had fun watching your Nuggets truck along the roads and are ready to play with a new bunch of features. Plus a bunch of bugs was hunted down and squished. Our developers worked really hard to deliver the most stable and fun version of The Universim yet.

Below are some key features that were added or improved in the game. As usual, we ask you to leave us a review on Steam if you enjoy what we do. We have really exciting stuff coming your way very, very soon.


Alrighty, lets get to it:

[h3]New Main Menu Screen[/h3]

The entire Main Menu and Settings were redesigned and improved. Now its more clear and hopefully easier to navigate. We will continue improving your user experience as we develop, but at the same time let us know on a discord if there is something missing from our settings.



[h3]Game Customization Screen[/h3]

Natural Disasters

Youve been asking us to add the ability to play without natural disasters for a while and its finally here! Now you can choose how often youll have them. You can set it to Never, which pretty much means what it says - disasters will never happen on your planet. You can keep it on Occasional - this is what we recommend for a balanced experience, or Often - for the players who like it extra spicy.

Wild Animals Attacks

On top of choosing the frequency of the disasters, you can also choose how often Wild animals attack your village. It can also be Often, Occasional or set to Never happen.

Exile Attacks

And finally, you can also tweak Exile attacks with similar parameters.

We know you wanted these options for a while and we spent a good amount of time making the game fun and engaging no matter what you chose. We hope youll love it and of course were open for feedback. Let us know on discord.





Nugget Traits

We know a good number of you play The Universim a lot, replaying it over and over and over. To help you keep things fresh, were adding the ability for you to customize your Nuggets skin tones along with starting Nugget Traits. These Traits will alter your gameplay, check out what our internal QA Team had to say about them:

True Believer: This is an easy mode trait. This trait brings in a lot of extra CP when starting a new game. This can help the player in many different areas. The downside is that there will be more UFOs that can steal Nuggets away.

Arnold: A fun Easy Mode trait. It allows things to be delivered faster which speeds up the early part of the game. However, they also eat a lot of food and tire easily.

Matenator: A very fun trait. Also easy mode. This also speeds up the early part of the game by greatly increasing population for a few generations until it breeds/dies out. This is a great trait for those players who struggle with population early in the game. The downside is that these Nuggets will die from exhaustion before their time, and they also eat a lot of food!

Fugitive: Fun and Easy mode trait as Nuggets move fast for a few generations. However, Nuggets may steal some of your resources!

Nugg Norris: This is a hard mode trait. Nuggets start off very strong, and they can build things very fast. However, Nuggets severely damage other Nuggets for a few generations. This can cause many injuries and death. So be careful!

Greenlander: At a glance, this trait may seem easy to play, but it is not. While these Nuggets will create trees, they have shorter lifespans and consume a lot of water.

Highlander: This is an easy/normal mode trait as it boosts the population early in the game. It's REALLY fun when Elderly mating is active and all the old Highlander's breed. However, if one gets infected, it can RAPIDLY spread. The player must be vigilant to keep any potential infections from starting or spreading.

Coffin Dodger: This is the hardest trait in the game to play. Once zombies start to spread, it can be an incredible challenge to bring them under control and may burn a lot of CP. This is recommended for more hardcore players.

Each Trait will need to be unlocked by playing the game.

We will continue reviewing Traits, and potentially adding new ones, if you guys will like em. Please let us know on our Discord if you have any ideas what Traits we can add or change in the future.


[h3]Overpacked Quest [/h3]

An enterprising Nugget wants your help to open his business. In order to do so, you need to place a Couriers hut and deliver the boxes to appropriate mailboxes.


[h3]Sitting On Powder Quest[/h3]

Nuggets may not have arms, but that doesnt mean they cant be armed. One Nugget who is Pro Gun is asking for you to help elect the Pro Gun candidate.

[h3]Improvements and balance changes[/h3]
Merge of Wells and Reservoirs

Wells and Reservoirs are now merged into a single building. Previously, having two buildings would often confuse everyone. Since both buildings functionality is to preserve water, one building provided water purely for the buildings, while wells provided water only for Nuggets. We decided to simplify that aspect of the game and merged those two buildings into one. Now the well part of the building will take water from the reservoir that is being filled with water pumps.





Perk Finder

With each patch, the amount of perks was only increasing, and it got to the point where it was a chore to find it in the research tree. This is why we decided to add some extra help that allows a player to find and identify the needed perk. Each perk description now has a small eye icon next to the Perk Requirement. Clicking on that eye will bring you to the required perk.



Improved trait / skin color inheritance

Due to the addition of the customization screen before the game starts, we also reviewed how our traits and skin color were passed on, and we decided to improve that aspect of the game as well. Previously, your Nuggets would get the trait from their parents no matter what, and therefore, your civilization was always limited to a certain amount of traits. The current system provides a high chance of passing one of the parents traits, but it also has a chance to generate a new one or be left out without a trait.

Skin color of the Nuggets, similar to traits, was passed down based on the parents color skin. It was either from a father or a mother. We added some changes to the system, and now it will take a middle color between two colors of your parents. This way their kids can have slightly different shades of the colors based on their parents skin color.



Street lights Simulation

Previously, all street lights located on the modern roads were turned on all at once when night time was falling. It created an illusion of a lightbulb that would turn on immediately when you flip a switch. It was breaking the immersion of the game and didn't feel right. We added some randomization to it. Now certain lights might flikker on while others will turn on after a short delay.



Fish respawn in the lakes

To our surprise, this was one of the most asked for features to be added to the game. When the lake/ocean would dry out, all the fish would be destroyed and never replenished. This was causing a lot of players to constantly build and destroy their fishing piers. With the new system, the fish will regenerate back to its original state based on the amount of water in the lake. So if the lake does not have water, there wont be any fish, but as you add more and more water, the fish will start regenerating slowly, and based on the amount of water the regeneration, speed will be increased.

Construction pause button

This is another request that was asked for on multiple occasions. Sometimes, when a lot of buildings are placed all at once, Nuggets will do their best to build all the buildings in order they were placed. But if there were not enough resources for the first placed building, they would try to deliver resources that they have to other buildings. In some situations this caused a pretty long delay for that first building. The Pause button allows you to stop the construction, and any delivery of the resources. Now Nuggets will concentrate on the other buildings that are being constructed first.

Save Game option

The Save Game option was added to the ESC menu. It will be available immediately after the epicenter is placed. A lot of players, who were not familiar with the game, were struggling with our unique saving system. Quite often, it led to frustration and confusion. We reviewed that system and added a save game option to the ESC menu. The Archive is still being used to autosave the game, but you no longer need to place it in order to save the game.

Continue button was added to the Main Menu

Youll now find a new continue button that allows you to continue from your last saved game, getting players back to their game faster.

Save Filters

Buildings Menu and Nuggets Menu will save the filters now for 5 minutes before being reset to default settings. Previously, opening one of those windows, selecting certain filters, and then closing it would reset all the filters immediately and you had to go through this whole process once again. Not any more.

UI Scaling & Saving Settings

While completely reworking the settings screen, we also went through our current settings and made sure that they are all working properly. Besides that, we also tested our UI scaling on very high and low resolutions and adjusted our UI to work correctly.

Improved Nuggets speed on the road

Roads will provide an additional speed to Nuggets which will allow your Nuggets to zip around your sprawling world and transport materials more quickly.

Improved Couriers and General Transportation AI

We reviewed the efficiency of our Nuggets delivering resources to their destination and found some aspects that needed to be improved. Couriers and Nuggets that transport resources will choose the most efficient route to deliver resources to the destination based on a score system that evaluates distance, the amount of Nuggets that are delivering those resources as well as other Nugget needs.

Improved Engineers AI

With additions of the roads, instead of helping our engineer Nuggets, it actually increased the travel time for them due to incorrect building prioritization by engineers. We reviewed & improved AI in order to make sure that they will always select the most efficient path to the buildings, and they will make a better decision on which building they should be fixing next based on the distance, building health, and their needs.

Option to disable camera shake

Out settings received an additional setting for people who have motion sickness. Now you will be able to turn off camera shake when you bump into the buildings or when any explosions or rumblings are happening in the game.

[h3]Additional Improvements[/h3]

-Construction supporters are limited to 10
-Nuggets will be removed from the buildings if it is being turned off manually by the player
-If crop is not selected, farm will display an icon above it
-Nuggets drink twice as fast as before
-ars and Roads appear at the same time after industrialization perk is researched
-Building Boundary Changes
We heard you say that buildings were spread too far apart - especially on the shorelines. Pumps and Fishing Huts can now be placed much closer together. Regular buildings had the needed space between them reduced by 50%. This will also allow you to build a bit closer to roads as well.
