Hello Universe Architects, A few preparations and changes have been made to the simulation. [h2]An Audio Refresh[/h2] We’re all familiar with the sound you hear when you purchase a node. It’s been the same sound effect since Cells first launched, so we decided it was time to refresh the simulation a bit. We’d love to hear your thoughts on these new sound effects: [list] [*]First-time node and generator purchases. [*]Generator selects and upgrades. [*]Earning Logits and unlocking Augmentations. [*]Completing Explore Events missions. [*]Other miscellaneous sound effects. [/list] [h2]Improvement to the Augmentation Store View [/h2] For the past couple of months we have been updating the Augmentation Store. For this update we have done another visual update. We have also made it so that when you purchase an artifact in the augmentation store you will get a popup, allowing you to view your purchase in the tree view.

We received some concerns about this change from players and are addressing those with this update. We have adjusted the badge boost diminishing return to be more gradual after the 200% cut-off. Players should see a higher boost for each badge gained as seen below.
