v1.2 Update - Out Now! Hello everyone!

We're here today wit ha new update, Synergy's 1.2 Update! While there's no new content in it, there is a LOT in this one. But this is mainly focused on overall performance optimizations ; some of you might know that it is not easy to do such things, and we're proud we made it, and proud of the result! You'll see all the changes in the patchnotes below (that has the word "Optimization" a lot of time, I'll let you do the count :D)

As this is our final update, we also wanted to say a quick word, a big thank you for being with us for this journey that started the 21st May 2024. A year and 3 months later, we're very proud of everything that's been done, and of course it wouldn't be possible without you, the player, and your precious feedback that you made all along the way. We wanted to say thank you, as we're now sailing to new horizons. Note that we will of course be there to fix major issues, should there be any appearing !

Thanks a lot!

Please find the full patchnote below :

Optimisation:

Irrigation:

• Canal effect range is calculated on canal creation instead of each time irrigation changes
• When irrigation change, only refresh affected canals by new pumps settings instead of clearing and recalculating whole irrigation network.
• When irrigation change, only refresh affected cells instead of clearing and reapplying satisfactions around canals.
• Optimization on irrigation preview when selecting a pump.

Feedbacks (on top of buildings or plants):

• Faster initialization of feedbacks
• Plants and collectable props feedbacks are shown on mutiple frames when entering collect or harvest mode, starting from center of screen.
• Dropped resource feedbacks are updated when transporters or inventories change instead of each frame.
• Update buildings feedbacks when necessary instead of each frame.*

Hovering elements:

• Optimization on object check under cursor.
• Removed unnecessary highlights clears.
• Prevent updating object highlights when there is nothing to update.

Citizens:

• Prevent updating citizen health, movement or activity when game is paused.
• Optimization on citizen destination resolve.

Inventories and inventories related requests:

• Optimization on sorting requests by priority.
• Recalculate request priority when priorization changes instead of each frame.
• Optimization when finishing or cancelling a request.
• Optimization on completion check on a destruction request.
• Faster checks on inventories stock.
• Faster distance sort when chosing closest inventory for a request.
• Requests are put in waiting state when there is no action to execute, and is only updated when city inventories changes.
• Request missing resources are recalculated only when request is updated instead of each frame.
• Stop updating requests when no citizens are available.

UI:

• Monitoring panel refreshes only affected resource categories instead of all when a resource amount is updated.
• Optimization on storage building selection (warehouse, cellar)

Others:

• Prevent clearing satisfactions on building modifying satisfactions when there is nothing to clear.
• Removed unnecessary updates when gaining science or legacy points.
• Prevent recalculating conditions on plants needs when a plant context does not change.

2504290456 (2025-04-29)

Balancing

Changed the layout of the Last Resources scenario of the Firestorms campaign: The map now encourages to explore upward as well. Ashy kernels will take more time to kill other plants, and Petrified giants are placed closer to better showcase their interaction. Resources can be harvested with fewer picker’s cabins at the start of the game. The map is more “sandy”. Modified plant category for certains plants : “Smelly” removed for Riverbank Finger “Resilient” added to Spike Tree, Plains Shell and Orange Hydra Tree “Decorative” added to Bamboo Flute Replaced Pincushion Shrub cluster North-East of spawn by a Bamboo Flute cluster on A Beacon in the Sand scenario in The Anchoring campaign Reduced Technology exploration weight from 1 to 0 Modified Monument and Sand Furrows district score: moved Auditorium from its former category to be with Spherical Forum and Embassy (both districts) replaced Canteen by Grain Farm in the remarkable buildings list of Sand Furrows district Food needs are now enabled at the same time as water needs in the tutorial Increased duration before fail of the following City Events: Burnout (No Sick Citizens and Well-Being at least 4), The Fabled Chamber (produce enough Clean Water for a cycle), Refusal (produce enough Food for a cycle). Modified research cost for analysis unlock: “Environmental Impact” : from 50 science to 10 tools + 20 science “Ground Quality”: from 20 tools 200 science to 10 tools 70 science 50 heritage

Bugfix

Integrated revised translations, improving text quality across all supported languages. Fixed a bug where citizens would not bring harvested resources back to the harvest workshop after executing an action that kills the targeted plant Fixed collectable prop feedback of the amount of resources given by the Rip Out action : position and display (mirrored text) Fixed a bug where the player could open the analysis result screen while in other interaction modes, which could result in various visual glitches Fixed a bug where saving during the destruction animation of a building could lead to various bugs Fixed the Assignment Tower destruction animation Reduced default amount of priority resources to 0 on the small warehouse Fixed a bug where the color of terrain with high organic matter in Mossy biome didn’t change at 60 temperature Fixed a bug where the citizen of the Pharmaceutical Factory in pause were displayed in front of other environmental props

Feedback & Interface

Temperature will now be shown during the building placement phase of a production building. Same satisfaction modifier sources will now be shown during the building placement phase. For example, when placing a Table, it will show the pin and range of the other Tables, Serpentine benches and Outdoor lounges, but it will NOT show the range of the Canteen as this is a different modifier. Housing now displays their satisfactions when a satisfaction view (Wellbeing, Knowledge, Social, Culture) is opened. All analysed plants will now feedback the yield of its grown state or its alternative grown state when placing harvesting orders. For example, you will see the amount of harvested resources even if the plant is currently growing. Increased the glow on small researches available Tablet researches and their information and icons are no longer hidden even if the adjacent research is not unlocked. The game window now changes instantly on carousel selection in options panel, and refreshes resolutions list. It also fixes the list of resolution not being the right one when using a second monitor with a different resolution of the main monitor. Changed the display of access buttons to other interfaces (book of knowledge and analysis history) to add a new button to access the Research tree, and make them more visible. Right button of victory popup and defeat popup are now yellow When an expedition is preparing in the city, the expedition preparation information are now removed from the selected panels in exploration to avoid confusion The tooltip when placing a house is now displaying the temperature the same way as it is displayed when selecting a built house (will now display for example “50/60” instead of “-10” Added new Production Task icons for some alternative recipes. Useful to differentiate tasks in the research panel.

2504230500 (2025-04-23)

Hello everyone!

After the hotfixes, we're on for corrective patches! Some thigns we've found internally, some things you're reported to us, fixed as much as possible! Mainly Bugfixes and Interface/feedback tweaks, but also a tiny bit of balancing and visual adjustments!

Also, as a small follow up on 1.0 release, if you liked the game and did not review it yet, do not hesitate to leave a positive review! We're close to fall under 70% for recent reviews, which would be bad for algorithms (it's always the algorithms!) Given that the overall amount of recent review is a bit low, every single positive review can make the difference! Thanks for taking the time to do it if you enjoyed, and enjoy playing Synergy.

Now, on to the full patchnote! Have a wonderful day

Update 1.0 - Corrective patch #1 - 23/04/2025

Balancing

• The first district threshold is now set at 300 instead of 350.

Bugfix

• Fixed "Have N healthy with a certain health" objectives often ignoring one plant.
• Fixed the "storage full" feedback not disappearing when the Explorer hut is emptied by a water tower.
• Fixed the harvest interactions of the Spiketree in its “overgrown harvested” state.
• Fixed the cooling interaction with the Bunch tree in its “overgrown harvested” state.
• Fixed the display duration of the production recipe, which did not take into account the number of citizens in the building, and therefore displayed a different value from the recipe value in the building panel.
• (Mac only) Fixed the pontoon reversed visual visible on Mac with anti-aliasing disabled.
• Removal of the ability to move the exploration map during the appearance of zone destinations, to prevent destinations from being visually displaced.
• Fixed the throated water lily interaction notification saying "wounded" instead of "intoxicated".
• Fixed some texts having different fonts used in the middle of a sentence in Polish.
• Fixed several overflowing and misaligned texts in Japanese in the panel of a selected square.
• Fixed the Japanese font sometimes misaligned in height.
• Added a missing space in a Spanish text.

Feedback & Interface

• Added the following in the production recipe choice popup:
  • All the resources that the building can produce are now visible instead of being hidden by a lock icon. (The lock icon is still visible but on the side.)
  • These resources can be hovered over to obtain their full tooltips, which are useful for finding out their names, their obtainments and their uses.
  • All resources in recipes can now be hovered over to get their full tooltips, for the same reasons.
• Plant tags (i.e. “resilient”, “fruit-bearing”, “invasive”), which are used for district scoring, are now visibles in the plant panel.
• In “Rip out” mode, the resources obtained are now visible on top of the collectable props. This makes it easier to see and understand “Rocky amalgam” and “Technological Ruins”.
• Resources in production recipes are now always sorted in the same order.
• Harvested areas of other harvest buildings are now more visually different than the currently selected harvest building.
• A selected plant in its “overgrown harvested” state will now display its “overgrown” state info instead of its “grown” state info.
• The button “Yes” of the “Back to the main menu” and “Quit the game” popups is now in Yellow and placed on the right side of the 3 buttons.
• Sandglider garage will now highlight houses in its range during the placement phase.
• The resource uses tips that now say “Build structures” instead of "Craft structures".
• The glowing outline that highlights the requested quantity of the cellar during the tutorial now better fits to the list of available resources.

Visuals

• Various adjustments on dynamic floors.
• Footprints of buildings placed in the Mossy biome will now react to dynamic terrain. (For example, a building placed in a hot mossy area will now have its footprint turning brown instead of staying green.)

NEW CHALLENGES & ATMOSPHERE ENHANCEMENTS

Dynamic soils:

• Visuals of each biome (sandy, mossy and rocky) can now change based on terrain properties (humidity, temperature, organic matter) when passing a specific threshold. These thresholds are also used for plant needs, creating visual cues.
• All maps have been reworked consequently.

Dry seasons and water management:

• Lakes are dried out during dry seasons: they are visually emptied, pontoons cannot collect water anymore, irrigation pumps stop functioning unless they’re supplied with toxic water.
• Pontoons collect potable water by default and have an alternative task to collect toxic water.
• Purification basins need to be placed near water (filled lake or filled canals) to reduce their toxic water cost to 0.
• A new end game building can collect water from the ground based on their local humidity: the Fungal Sponge.

Rising temperatures:

• The temperature will increase as time progresses in the game through more & more difficult dry seasons.
• Most production buildings have their production efficiency affected by the local temperature.
• Added notifications when a harder dry season appears in the season timeline.
• The season tooltip has been changed to display the temperature and humidity modifiers of the incoming seasons.
• New tools are added to reduce heat:
• A new interaction with plants protects them from heat and drought.
• A new end game building reduces heat: the Wind Catcher.

The threat of defeat:

• The prosperity score now lights up red when bad events occur: citizen deaths, illnesses, city event failures.
• If too many negative events have taken place recently, it's game over!

WATER MANAGEMENT

• Water storage is now shared by the whole city.
• Water is now absorbed and distributed automatically by water storages to buildings in their range that produce or require water. Water no longer needs to be transported manually.
• Added a water distribution view.
• Added feedback on top of building visuals when they’re not linked to the water system.

EXPLORATION OVERHAUL

• Each exploration region now displays an exceptional reward. Doing all the destinations of a region guarantees the obtention of the reward. These exceptional rewards are: a new plant, a tablet, technological artifacts or an exchange contract.
• New exploration reward: exchange contracts. These can be found during explorations and allow you to trade resources for other resources. When you obtain a contract during an exploration, it is permanently available in a new building: the Bartering Outpost.
• It’s now possible to explore several destinations in one journey. After completing each destination, you’ll have to choose whether to continue or return to the city.
• It’s now possible and required to choose what food to take on an expedition, and how much. Taking more food allows you to explore more, but takes up space in the expedition’s carry capacity.
• Expeditions can now be launched even if citizens are not currently available. The expedition starts when citizens have joined the building.
• Resource rewards now have their own “exploration weight” determining with the expedition carry capacity how many resources can be transported.
• The expedition carry capacity can be increased by the number of citizens in the expedition, and some researches.
• Exploring a region no longer leads to an event. Only destinations lead to an event.
• Added a new animation when discovering a new region.
• Many events have been added and many others have been reworked to better match the new rules.
• Exploration regions visuals have been improved for a better readability.
• Improved the feedback of the condition “has access to plant” and its reverse “has not access to plant”.
• Campaign scenarios now uses a random seed for the exploration map instead of a fixed one.

  RESOURCE MONITORING

• Resource tooltip:
  • Shortened resource descriptions and made them more lore-friendly.
  • Added a section to explain precisely resource multiple obtentions and usages.
  • Added a section showing the resource statistics:
    • Amount currently in the city’s storages.
    • Amount generated over the last 40 days, split between continuous and punctual production.
    • Amount consumed over the last 40 days, split between continuous and punctual consumption.
    • Tendency of continuous production vs continuous consumption over the last 40 days, summarized by a colored arrow.
• Added a dedicated panel for resource management:
  • The interface can be accessed through a button in the radial menu in the bottom-left corner of the screen, or by clicking on a resource category, or by clicking on a resource in building panels (such as the production module).
  • It’s possible to set up production and consumption limits for every resource from this panel.
• When a resource consumption limit is reached, buildings stop requesting this resource, consume their remaining stock and pause until the resource stock is greater than consumption limit. You can still use these resources to build, research and all direct actions. Citizens can still eat food and drink water under the resource consumption limit.
• When a resource production limit is reached, buildings stop producing this resource and pause until the resource stock is lower than the production limit.
• Added feedback for buildings whose activities are interrupted by production or consumption limits.

  PLANTS IMPROVEMENTS

• Plants now display only one harvest action instead of several. This represents the default harvest action consequence. Other harvest actions act as a modifier to this consequence. For example, the Shearing action gives 50% more resources but costs tools to be performed. Another example: Notching action gives Resin instead of the resource shown.
• Plants can always have specific resources for a specific harvesting action, and this information is given by surface analysis.
• Plants can now be interacted only by one harvest building, which is displayed in the plant panel.
• Plants analysis have been reworked to be more in line with the lore. A single textual result is given for surface analysis, which makes for more interesting reading.
• All harvest actions have been reworked consequently:
  • Pickers’ Cabin :
    • Picking : Basic action. Provides 100% of the resources displayed in the plant’s interface.
    • Seeding : Converts resources gained into Seeds. 50% of the amount displayed.
    • Shearing : Provides 150% of displayed resources and reduces wounded and intoxicated chances by 50%. For example, a 40% base chance is reduced to 0%, not 20% ! Use Tools.
    • Seed Scattering : Provides 50% of displayed resources. Chance of spawning a new sprout nearby. Use Rotten Resources.
    • Cooling : Does not provide any resources. Grants heat resistance and drought resistance for 12 days. Use Toxic Water.
  • Arborists’ Workshop :
    • Pruning : Basic action. Provides 100% of the resources displayed in the plant’s interface.
    • Notching : Converts the displayed resources into a gain of Resin. 50% of the amount displayed.
    • Shearing : Provides 150% of displayed resources and reduces injury and intoxication by 50%. Use Tools.
    • Cooling : Does not provide any resources. Grants heat resistance and drought resistance for 12 days. Use Toxic Water.
    • Watering : Does not provide any resources. Chance of evolving the specimen to the next stage. Use Toxic Water.
  • Agricultural Farm :
    • Reaping : Basic action. Provides 100% of the resources displayed in the plant’s interface.
    • Uprooting : Provides 250% of displayed resources. The specimen reverts to Young Sprout status. Use Clean Water.
    • Cooling : Does not provide any resources. Grants heat resistance and drought resistance for 12 days.
    • Watering : Does not provide any resources. Chance of evolving the specimen to the next stage.
• All plants can now be planted in the plant nursery and their costs have been adjusted.
• Plant panel now shows the contextual information of the plant. For example, if a plant gives 12 Bark by default but the plant health reduces the amount of resources obtained, it displays 8 instead of 12. Default values can be accessed via a toggle in the plant panel.
• Plant spreads will now be much more reliable even in crowded locations.
• Harmonized plants growth duration, and reduced growth duration from planted to intermediate state.
• All invasive spreads will now behave more aggressively: after having affected a plant, they will continue to move towards other plants.
• Plantation mode feedback has been improved: now display valid and invalid cells, and the plant range.
• All plants have been reworked.
• 7 new plants have been added.
• Plants presence on maps have been changed and maps terrain have been changed.
• Added a wind mask to many plants, allowing them to wave in the wind.
• Added a depth texture to many plants, improving their shadow visual.

2406061037 (2024-06-06)

Hello everyone!

Let's go for our first patch! Why is it now called a patch instead of a hotfix? Well basically we kept the Hotfix term for the quickfixes after the release. Now that we're more on a cruising pace, it felt more appropriate to stop calling them Hotfixes. Also, as the "Minor Update" term is used in our Roadmap, we don't want to use that word because it'd be confusing. You might think that I'm thinking too much for just 3 words! And I might be, but I still think semantics are important :D

Anyway, the big news here is that we updated our version of Unity, fixing a video memory issue. What it does mean is that the memory issues might've been the source of a lot of different crashes or performance issues, and this might fix it for you. Do not hesitate to come and tell us if you still have those problems!

There are also a lot of different bug fixes, a bit of QoL and balancing in there. To know more about that, please read the patchnote below

Thanks a lot for playing Synergy!

Hello everyone!

We're pushing a third hotfix, this one specifically for a single bug - but an annoying one. We're also aware of an issue where, sometimes, UI buttons (like destroying a building, or accelerating time) do not work as intended on click. However, you should still be able to use them with the keyboard shortcuts

We're actively working on this and will push a fix as soon as possible!
