Heya healers!How have you been? :)We're back with the first little patch of 2026. With this patch we are trying to make the start of the game feel a bit smoother by reducing some costs of early upgrades. Patch 1.0.8:Reduces Leaf and Skull costs of early upgrades.Moves the Pulser enemy earlier in the spawnset so you both get to practice it in more isolation and reap the skull rewards.We have also started thinking about what comes next in terms of adding to the game. Stay tuned!Thank you all for making the end of 2025 and the start of 2026 great by buying, playing and leaving feedback on our little game.Love
WHAT'S NEW?Worked on better save file handling to prevent a bug where the 'new game' button stopped working. The game will now load from a backup saved file if the saved file has been corrupted, which can happen in power outages. Fixed Ship Tab and Cryo Tab achievements being awarded too early.Optimised saving for better performance. Fixed a bug where the captive sun would show through onto the victory panel. NOTE: to those who are affected by a corrupted save file/ new game bug, you may need to delete your save file if it's still not working. You can find it in your windows user folder then:/AppData/LocalLow/Adam Travers/Feed the Reactor/feedthereactor.txtThanks for your patience with this issue! Please let me know if its still not working for you. Thank you for Feeding the Reactor!!!!-Adam
Next round of pre-release updates - Prestige Mode!Version v1.05 - Patch LivePrestige Mode is here!Now, after reaching a specific milestone, the player will be given the option to Prestige their run. This will wipe progress for that run with the tradeoff of additional multipliers and other perks on subsequent runs.This system can be iterated on in the future - Yay!The milestone does NOT require any specific upgrades, so those of you doing single-snake (or other unique) runs have no fear!
CELESTAY has now exceeded 5,000 wishlists.We sincerely thank everyone who discovered this small slow-life game in development and added it to their wishlist.We’ll continue quietly building toward completion.

I’m not a mathematician, clearly.Upon quitting the game, everything gets collected from the tableTons of number texts have proper formatting nowMore consistent color scheme for textsDouble damage is now 10 times damage and it was calculated separately for every piece hit instead of per hit.. Which made it hard to see how it worksSave file is now more organized looking, moved all lists and long stuff to the end, so those who like editing save files now gonna have an easier time doing soVarious texture updatesNew iconsPerfect stone textureStones are now locked behind prestige upgradesPrestige purchase and deny shakes less violentlyPerfect stone deny sound and animation was missingCoin and Ticket were both counted as mineral pickups tooPerfect stone purchase ticket number format is now inline with the othersPS 1: not many of you seem to understand “Depth”, and we will figure out how to describe and call it better, but we refuse to call it “Penetration” after the amount and quality of jokes we got for that internally.Lets just call it “Vertical area” as so...

Thanks for all your feedback! This demo hotfix addresses the following issues:Fixed action choice bug in chapter 2Fixed corpse and soul bug in chapter 2Added visual effects to mind bars so players notice when they appearOptimized shaders for better Intel GPU compatibilityThanks again for your feedback and support!
Fixed the chest achievements, some changes that might help with crashing.
Fixed an issue where building levels would become negative upon reaching the integer cap. They are now able to go up to level one trillion, and building levels that had become negative as a result of the issue will be set back to level 2 billion. Giving a code from a different week now gives a message that the code is not currently active. Fixed offline gains text for Destruction Idol. Destruction Idol now benefits from Offering Glyph and the Unchanging Reliquary premium upgrade. Fixed an issue with Inspired Concocting where it was displaying 100 times its actual bonus value. Fixed a typo in the description of the transcendent knowledge blessing. Fixed the talent loadout editor: it now has correct headers, is no longer missing the Paladin class, and has the maximum allocation amount set to 10,000. Talents can no longer go above one billion in level.
More pre-release updates - Balance patch!Version v1.04 - Patch LiveAdded a new feature after reaching '+ Snakes' level 5. This update will make manually guiding snakes more competitive compared to click-pulsing and idle play. I.E. It should no longer feel so inefficient to guide snakes at mid to high levels!Buffed Twin Fangs (again) to increase its base duration. The goal is to keep them a bit competitive with Void and Black Hole.Shop descriptions have been updated to be more descriptive.The musical note button no longer toggles the Piano display on and off. Instead, it cycles through different piano overlays.
-Faster progress-Popup for hamlet progression-Small bug fixes
Family Editing Edit noble houses via Edit Map -> Edit Houses: split territories and delete houses. Manage members via Family Panel -> Members -> Family Tree: delete characters, arrange marriages, divorce, execute, and add children. Improved house territory allocation so expanding lands stay more contiguous and coherent. Added a new Family View in the Country panel (toggle from the action bar). World History Review The World History Review table is now available from the History screen via Full History, with event filters that apply to both full and yearly history and are saved to your config. More Improvements Pause Editing: most editing actions can now be done while paused (entering the editor auto-pauses). Toggle via Edit Map -> Global Commands. Workshop uploads: manually pick a cover image (png/jpg). Images over 1MB are auto-compressed to prevent upload errors. Unconquerable Regions UI reset: set localized names, plus a new Use Surrounding Country Color option to auto-assimilate colors when fully surrounded by a single country. Alliance view: improved name placement based on alliance area and added alliance borders. UI performance optimizations to reduce stutter when opening some panels. Happy New Year—and sorry this greeting is a bit late! In 2026 we’ll focus on richer map details and mechanics: second-level administrative divisions, navies, roads/trade/supply lines, a rebuilt economy & population system, unit types & national strategies, and more extensible Puerts-powered modding. We hope this helps make Fantasy Map Simulator feel even more alive.
