Phase 2 is coming to a close within the next 24 hours as we finish the final adjustments to the bird systems. With that work wrapping up, development is already moving forward into the next major system update. Civilian Evacuation 2.0 Civilian Evacuation 2.0 is a complete revamp of legacy systems built on several years of community feedback. The upcoming development cycle is focused on delivering this system from implementation through completion. Alongside this, the first pieces of the new DNA systems will begin appearing early next week.

  • DNA drops will begin appearing in infected areas

  • Scientists will be able to collect DNA

  • A new DNA farming structure will allow passive DNA generation


The DNA farming structure can be placed inside infected zones where it will generate DNA passively based on the infection level of that area. Higher infection zones will produce more DNA over time.However, deploying these structures will attract horde responses as infected attempt to destroy them, and the number of structures that can be built will be globally limited.DNA will feed into research that improves unit resilience and supports Civilian Evacuation research as players continue learning more about the virus.CERC HQ Podcast Tonight
Tonight we will be covering:

  • The design direction for Civilian Evacuation 2.0

  • How the DNA systems work

  • How these mechanics connect together

If you want an early look at what we are building next for Cepheus Protocol, I recommend dropping into the broadcast. Watch the StreamYouTube
