3. Pixel Evolution: Four New Parasite Strains
The update adds 4 distinct evolution paths, each changing the pixel art style of your factory: Review: Parasite in City Pixel Factory (Updated) Platform:
- The Mechanical Leech: Turns conveyor belts into pulsating veins. Automates repair but slowly consumes your metal stockpiles.
- The Hivemind Spore: Replaces human NPCs with clones. Great for labor, terrible for morale (and hygiene).
- The Crystal Bloom: A beautiful but deadly strain that petrifies machines into crystal. Increases output but makes decommissioning impossible.
- The Void Parasite: The secret endgame strain. It starts consuming pixels themselves, causing screen glitches and corrupting your save file metadata (intentionally—don't panic, it's part of the horror).

1. Introduction
The original City Pixel Factory was a taut, satisfying loop: gather pixels → refine into city blocks → manage logistics → expand. The “Parasite” update (v.2.3.1) injects a semi-autonomous, resource-draining entity that attaches to power grids, water pipes, or transport routes. Unlike a simple enemy, the Parasite evolves based on the player’s responses—neglect it, and it spawns “glitch zones” that reverse tile development; attack it directly, and it splits into smaller, faster variants. This update changes the ontological status of the city from a machine to be optimized to a host to be balanced.
