Thank you every for a cracking demo launch and Earth Appreciation Festival! We are fast approaching 5,000 wishlists which is a great milestone in such a short amount of time (if you haven't wishlisted already please do!)
With the demo launch has come a great amount of feedback and we've made some changes to the demo which we have outlined below :)
As always, please keep the feedback coming in and we will continue updating the demo as development progresses!
- New Vesicle Hubs start with Plasma-powered chain input filled
- Mineral Extractor's Symbiotic Feeding chain defaults to high priority
- Can now set hunting behavior of Feeder Hubs and Carnivorous Protein Factory (allow/ban hunting Stem Cells / Aminoberries)
- Micro Agave now starts with 50 calories; food production never drains calories below 50 --> much more robust against starvation, using Symbiotic Feeding alone now more viable
- Poison damage now bursts cells if they are at very low health
- Bursting cells drop their resources
- Enzyme- and Toxin production is now more lenient if inputs are delayed (1.2 -> 1.5 times the production duration as a "grace period" before the strategic resource becomes unavailable). Robust logistical setup still required, but will work much more reliably now.
- Lancet Hive no longer costs Toxins to build, houses 4 Lancet Cells.
- Can now switch between full screen and borderless window mode
- Updated main menu logo and splash screen
- Several minor bugfixes, most importantly: save/load system is now more robust when loading older save files.
This means you should be able to jump right back into your previous colony. If you encounter any issues/crashes, please notify me! Thanks and have fun 🙂
P.S.: There's a small teaser included in the update. Can you find it?

August Dev Blog: Salt BarrensHey everyone! A new Dev Blog to share the latest evolution progress of Primordial Empire! The sun has been especially brutal this summer, and with that inspiration, it’s actually quite fitting that I’ve been working on the Salt Barrens biome. The Salt Barrens The Salt Barrens are Primordial Empire’s underwater equivalent of a desert, arid lands with very little fertile ground. The intense sunli…July Dev Blog: Strategic World MapHey everyone! Marc here! It’s been a while since the last dev log, and Primordial Empire has evolved a lot! I’ve been doing a lot of work on the strategic parts of the game, including a new strategic AI that will try to destroy your Collective and an Expedition feature that lets you expand across all the biomes of the world map. Let’s have a look! Strategic AI Enemy colonies (“nests”) would spr…June Dev Blog: Scouts and TransportsHi everyone! Summer is here, bringing sunshine and warmth to the primordial soup. Thanks to that, our microscopic world is teeming with life, and our growing Collective is gradually adding new microorganisms to the mix. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the new cells and plants I’ve designed over the last couple months: Elite combat unit The Collective already has two different combat units: Lance…
