Far from your hotspot? Who cares! 🔨

Lab report 🔬 Our virus has mutated again. Here is what changed in this strain:

🩹 Bugs in quarantine

  • 🔨 Capsids far out in your network crack again: the game no longer claims the cell isn't connected to a hotspot just because your hotspot is off the screen.
  • 🎯 Same for your rally point: you can set it anywhere your veins reach, however long the way back to the hotspot.
  • 👻 Ghost chains get as long as your evolution allows again: when the first field is built right away, it no longer counts as a ghost, so a full chain isn't turned down as “too long” in fresh territory.
  • 📦 Expressus delivers between any two of your cells in the same network again, even when the veins between them are out of sight.
  • 💘 Crushus finds your friend again when their cells are just off the screen, and Addtocartitis finds your thieving cell right at the edge of the map.
  • 👑 Royal Flu works again with several hotspots, even when the one you're looking at is still resting.
  • 📵 A block never hits your hotspot anymore: Dead Zone Fever and Brain Freeze may land right next to it, but its veins keep flowing, and your network no longer withers because of a dead zone next door.
  • 📬 Veins ×2 and Inflow multiply a stream only once now: stacking Pneumaticus and friends in a row made viruses grow without end, now it stays at double.
  • 🏷️ Cards from your swarm now show up for the friend they help: the sticker on their cell, with the ring of the time left, even after the map reloads.

Stay contagious! 🦠 Your Mad Scientist 🧑‍🔬
