Hello Universe Architects, The James Webb Space Telescope started collecting its first images, and we're not far behind! Our first ever Exploration is making its way back to the simulation with new and improved features...

All Universe Architects will have a second chance to explore the James Webb Telescope within the simulation from [b]May 24th at 12:00 PM EST[/b] to [b]May 29th at 12:00 PM EST[/b]! [h2]Improved Gameplay Tuning[/h2] Progression through the Exploration tree now makes more sense. While our top priority has been improving completion rates, our team has also tackled tuning to make missions feel more fair!

Modeled after the JWST's honeycomb mirrors, you can catch this beauty doing its thing on the Exploration tree. Unlocking that currency burst never felt so sweet!
