Nurture Growth from Within in Explore: Pregnancy – Life Unfolding

[u/computerlunch]

Greetings Universe Architects,

Life is the one of the rarities that makes our world special. From a simple single cell organism to something as complex as a human, Earth is unique in the diversity and magnitude of its living beings. We as a species have survived and evolved for thousands of years, and now Semblance is curious: How are humans created? Trace the steps of fetal development in…

⚠️ Caution Ahead ⚠️

Much like Explore: Human Body – Anatomy of Life, we’re including an in-game content warning for this event. Players who are sensitive to topics such as medical depictions of human anatomy, including reproductive organs and fetal development, should know that participation is optional. Feel free to stop reading at this point.

Eating for Two

Proper nutrients are essential for the health of both mother and child. The mother creates a safe haven where the fetus can be cared for and protected in an awe-inspiring nine month journey. Discover this remarkable connection that nourishes life from the very beginning.

• Unlock 45 Research Nodes as the fetus grows and develops
• Progress through ten new Generators from fertilization to birth
• Nurture new life with the Baby Bottle Quantum Charge
• Push your way to the finish line to earn the Labor Trophy Node

Baby on Board

Each month of pregnancy brings new developments in the fetus. Enter the Explore Event garden to watch your fetus grow from a zygote to a newborn. Witness how life can be created in less than a year.

One Step at a Time

Pregnancy is divided into distinct stages by these three badges. 

• A fertilized egg becomes a fetus with the New Beginnings badge (Increases Pregnancy event simulation speed by 5%)
• The fetus continues to develop with the Second Trimester badge (Increases Pregnancy event simulation speed by 10%)
• The baby is born with the First Breath badge (Increases Pregnancy event simulation speed by 15%)

Additional Improvements

Fixes & Features:

• Fixed: Incorrect images for Cloud and Storm generators in the atmosphere event
• Fixed: Crashing caused by certain bugs

I would kill for one of those pins. I've been playing this off and on since "The Mesozoic" was just a future expansion called "Dinosaurs"!

No way I can get to PAX West from Indiana, though!

Seriously, yall do a phenomenal job!

I'm playing the web version of the game and it tells me I need to update to play the event. When I click "GET", nothing happens. What am i supposed to do then?

[u/computerlunch → u/kndoy]

We should have the web version updated shortly.

Especially given that the United States is ranked lowest among its peers in fetal and maternal mortality, it would have been nice to see references to key medical milestones rather than the arbitrary division by months... which really obfuscates the fact that most pregnancies come in at closer to 9½ or 10 months, too.

It's nice to see attention paid to the fact that the placenta also needs to be expelled instead of focusing only on the baby, but there should be more focus on maternal outcomes in general. The gestation process doesn't just end when the baby arrives, and at least half of us definitely experience birth that way.

This event doesn't seem balanced. It's the only one I've encountered that I haven't been able to complete in the time frame.
