Events

Events are time-limited, special systems that occur to celebrate certain occasions and holidays.

Spacemas

Spacemas is available around the last week of December for about two weeks. A new tab is made available, which allows players to gain two new resources: Coalexium and Giftium. Coalexium can be earned by clearing waves, up to a maximum of 99 per day, and can then be used to scan for the Santalien at a cost of 33 Coalexium per scan. Once scanned, the player must navigate to the designated sector distance to spawn the Santalien. Upon destruction, the player is granted 5 Giftium which can be spent on either a 5 minute time skip or 15 minute boosts to various systems. These boosts start at 1 Giftium and increase in cost on every use. The cost of the time skip is always 2 Giftium. Spacemas boosts do not work offline.

Additionally, accumulated Giftium unlocks several rewards similar to how AI accumulation works, culminating in a special Ship skin at 150 Giftium. The following rewards are granted by Giftium accumulation:

Milestone	Reward
5 Giftium	25 AI Points
10 Giftium	Extra Retrofit
15 Giftium	25 AI Points
25 Giftium	6 Hour Time Skip
35 Giftium	50 AI Points

Spaceversary

Spaceversary is an event available around July 27th, celebrating the anniversary of the game, for about two week. A new tab is made available, which includs the Anomaly Detector: A new device which takes 5 minutes to charge up, and can then be activated to cause a wave of anomalies to appear on the battlefield. These need to be clicked within the upgradeable time-limit, in order to gain two new resources: Versarite and Yearium. Versarite can be spent to upgrade the Anomaly Detector in the following ways:

Name	Effect	Starting Value	Cap
Duration	The duration in which anomalies spawn, in seconds	30	60
Lifetime	The time after which an anomaly will disappear, in seconds	1	3
Max Spawn Time	The maximum time between anomaly spawns, in seconds	3	1.3
Bad Spawn Rate	The amount of bad anomalies that spawn, in percent	30	10
Streak Req.	How many normal anomalies need to be clicked in order to start a streak	10	5
Streak Bonus	How much more Versarite each anomaly grants for each streak running	0	4

Yearium is capped at 15 per day and can be spent on 5 minute timeskips, for 2 Yearium each, or 3 hour timeskips for specific systems, starting at 1 Yearium each and increasing in price by 1 Yearium on every use. They also grant a 1% bonus to the respective system per use. Additionally, accumulated Yearium unlocks several rewards similar to how AI accumulation works, culminating in a special Ship skin at 150 Yearium. This means all rewards can be unlocked within 10 days of the event. The following rewards are granted by Yearium accumulation:

Milestone	Reward
5 Yearium	Extra Retrofit
10 Yearium	25 AI Points

There are 7 secret achievements available during the event. These are not tracked in Steam. Additionally an exclusive Spaceversary bundle in-game purchase is available for the duration of the event, which grants a 6 Hour Time Skip, as well as a x2 multiplier to Versarite and Yearium gain and a x10 multiplier to the Anomaly Detector charge rate (bringing it down to 30 seconds).

Gameplay

After the Anomaly Detector is charged, it can be activated to start a wave of anomalies for a certain time, based on how far the Duration has been upgraded. These anomalies need to be clicked before they despawn, while avoiding bad ones. Every normal anomaly clicked grants a flat amount of Versarite, and after a certain amount have been clicked without misses or clicking bad ones, a streak will begin, based on the Streak Req. stat of the Detector. Once this threshold has been reached, a special anomaly will spawn, which grants double the amount of Versarite as well as 1 Yearium. From this point on, all normal anomalies also grant extra Versarite based on the Streak Bonus stat of the Detector. This will repeat every time the threshold is reached, with the streak bonus stacking, until the streak is broken by either missing an anomaly, or clicking a bad one, which also grants -5 Versarite (from the current run - it can't take away Versarite you already earned before).
