Hi guys,

Did you ever noticed that when you hit an unexplored node, a number (from 1 to 5) spawns and last during 1 or 2 seconds at this node ? At first I thought it was the distance until the next defensive node, but I was wrong. What does this number mean ?

distance to nearest unknown or beneficial node (including the core)

if you understand how minesweeper works, you understand the hacking game.

Has this always been there? I only really noticed it within the past month or so. Quite possible that I'm just oblivious though Big smile

I think it was added in the "People Who Move Their Lips When They Read" patch a few months back.

I've always been pretty good to minesweeper, but here it's not the same because you have no clue on where traps are.

Well this number isn't as useful as I expected. I'll have to pump my Archeology and Hacking skills up :/

well the number lets you know if you're going in the right direction at least.

When I noticed these numbers the only thing I could think of it corresponding to was how many nodes got unlocked.
