Thank you for playing ORACLE.
This update focuses on food production in the early stages of your civilization and clearer guidance on what to do next. We hope these changes leave you with less uncertainty and more time to enjoy watching your civilization grow.
More guidance on finding food
We’ve added “How can I get food?” to ORACLE’s suggested questions. You can now see which skills to develop and which resources to gather to unlock your next food-producing skill.
We’ve also slightly increased Grain Storage’s food production.
Easier access to settings
A Settings button is now available in the bottom-left corner of the game screen. You can adjust your volume and other preferences without returning to the main menu.
We’ve also made it clearer when housing becomes available.
A clearer voice for ORACLE
We’ve improved ORACLE’s guidance to make your next steps easier to understand. We’ve also refined the narration, keeping its reflective tone while making the language more natural.
Your existing saves remain compatible. You can continue your civilization right where you left off.
We’ll keep listening to your feedback as we improve both the experience of playing and the joy of building a civilization. Thank you for being part of ORACLE.
