A Message from DPIP
We have been monitoring the situation with these mysterious tendrils. For now, the danger seems to be limited - we will continue our research and we will inform the colonies of any advancements or points of interest that come from our studies. We have operatives on the ground, feel free to flag any down if you feel that the tendrils are posing a threat to your colonies or the land.
Be cautious and be vigilant, but there is no reason to be afraid. Yet.
Tendrils of the Spore Event End
We want to hear from you!
From what we could tell, people liked the Tendrils of the Spore event! We're still cleaning up mushrooms from around the site, so don't worry if you notice some still hanging around.
If you have any feedback, please feel free to share it with us!
Mascot Competition Voting
We got a lot of great entries and decided to put it to the public for a vote to see how you guys feel! Voting will continue for a week before we close and convene to decide on winners :)
Raffle Winner
We rolled the raffle and Onali was our winner! They received a Tincture of Mycelium, which can be used to add the Mycelium mutation to any colonist or geno. (You'll be able to craft these at some point!)
Promotional Event Extension
The claiming period for the promotional event will continue until the midnight between Oct 7 and Oct 8, ET. If you haven't submitted for your free geno, please do so soon! Remember that this only is for EXISTING promo posts. If you post your promo in October, I'm sorry but it won't apply!
Site Updates
A lot of new stuff!
Since last month, we've made a lot of progress on the back end, coding side!
Apologies for Bugs
We installed a new prompt time limit extension recently (at the start of the month) which unfortunately had some bugs in the code that have stopped people from being able to submit things like Crucibles or Wheel of Mercy spins. That has been fixed - sorry for the inconvenience.
New Moderator
You probably noticed, especially if you're in the Discord, but we brought Claritywind (Or'sol) onto the team! She's been around since 2018 and has always been a wonderful source of inspiration (and alerts to bugs and typos!)
Comments
As I'm sure you've noticed, we have comments now! Gone are the days of hunting through Deviantart Comments to find your breeding permissions or research purchases - both of which have their own systems now too :)
Awards
Awards were introduced during the event! We only have a few for now, but if they apply to you and you haven't received them, please send in a Claim with proof so we can get that squared away :)
Research Tree
A huge project, finally (mostly) complete! It's now fully automated, but please feel free to comment on the old temporary research thread if we missed any that you have, or if you join and need the research granted! Note that the two trees where nothing is yet available (Homesteader and Ranger) aren't yet in the system - we'll grant those to you once we get around to adding them.

Comment Suggestions Box
Linked on the sidebar of the Encyclopedia, we now have an comment Suggestions Box! Your comments will be visible to other users, but please feel free to offer any suggestions so that we can build the Xiunus world. If you have suggestions for Suggestion categories, those would go in Miscellaneous.
