Launch Back into Space with the James Webb Telescope Exploration!

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...



If you missed your opportunity to learn about the JWST and to collect its limited time badges, you're luckier than a wish on a shooting star.

All Universe Architects will have a second chance to explore the James Webb Telescope within the simulation from May 24th at 12:00 PM EST to May 29th at 12:00 PM EST!

[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!



[h2]For The Completionists[/h2]
Originally you could only win a bronze, silver OR gold badge. Now you can get all three! Collect the new James Webb Space Telescope bronze and Christmas Launch silver with revamped designs.



[h2]Collect More Flies With Honey Than With Vinegar[/h2]
We gave the Quantum Charge some love, too! 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!



[h3]Additional Features:[/h3]
+ The badge bug has been fixed! If you obtained a gold badge in the Exploration's first run but it disappeared, you'll now be able to add it back to your collection.
+ Additional QoL and gameplay tweaks.

For additional information, check out the first patch notes for the James Webb Telescope Exploration HERE!

If you experience any issues or have questions, please comment below or email us at [email protected]. We'd love to hear your feedback!

And a big shout out to everyone who inquired about rerunning the James Webb Telescope Exploration! We can't wait to get the ball rolling on making even more past limited time events more accessible to all Universe Architects.

We hope you're as excited as we are for the dawn of returning Explorations!
