Here's What We Know

The game's official Twitter account published two themed artworks with the achievement. They also added a joke message that in honour of this event, we were sent a model of an apple and Spectrum vodka, but we shouldn't worry, because the cost of this holiday gift was covered by our salary.

The Board is excited to announce we have employed 5 Million spacers in the Halcyon Colony! ✨ We've sent you a mock apple and Spectrum Vodka to celebrate this achievement and our 4th anniversary! Don't fret; we've covered the cost of this celebration gift with your paycheck. ???? pic.twitter.com/rUnpi8JBGE
