Join the new world

Starting tomorrow, Day 4,931, we’re saying goodbye to the “Eat” button that has played an important role in the e-life of Citizens all these years. Citizens will be able to recover Energy from Food automatically without having to use some button and thus properly benefit from larger Energy Pools.
This feature will be available to all players and will replace the old “Eat” mechanic.


Recovering Energy
Based on your energy Recovery Rate, your Recoverable Energy will be automatically converted into Energy provided you have the required Food in your Inventory.
Automatic recovery stops when you do not have enough Food in your inventory or when your Energy Pool is full.

Food will be used provided you have at least 20 Energy to recover so no food gets wasted in the process.


Energy Bars and other Energy Items
Adding Energy to your pool by using Energy bars and similar energy items is still possible via a new interface that provides more information about the energy pool and the recovery rate.



The Energy Pool
Before the update, everyone had two Energy Pools: one visible and one hidden behind the “Recover Energy” button tooltip. Energy recovery would *stop* after the hidden one was filled, creating the need to “Recover Energy” as a regular burden.

With this update we’re aiming to remove that burden.
Both Energy Pools will be merged into one, thus doubling the amount of Energy it can store without the need to press “Recover Energy” to transfer from one pool to the other.
Before and after:




Houses, Energy Centers and other Special Buildings
Houses, Energy Centers and all other Special Buildings will have their Energy Pool bonuses doubled in order to align with the new Energy Pool.
