~~The hacking minigames always work the same and have the same goal.~~ The goal of the hacking minigame is to '''find and disable the Container’s System Core'''. You do this by maneuvering a ~~virus~~ through the board of nodes that represent the Container’s electronics.

The goal of the hacking minigame is to '''find and disable the Container’s System Core'''. You do this by maneuvering a Virus through the board of nodes that represent the Container’s electronics.

~~Explored nodes~~ are orange~~. Unexplored nodes~~ adjacent to explored nodes ~~are green. Clicking on an unexplored node will reveal its contents:~~ if ~~the node is empty, it will turn orange and allow you~~ to ~~further explore adjacent~~ nodes~~. A node may contain a Defensive or Utility Subsystem or a Data Cache.~~

Nodes are:

* orange if explored

* green if adjacent to explored nodes

* gray if neither explored or adjacent to explored nodes

If the ~~newly explored~~ node is ~~unoccupied~~ it will ~~briefly display a number from 1~~ to ~~5. The number says how far you are from the nearest Utility Subsystem, System Core, or Data Cache node. 4 means you are 4 nodes away, while 5 means you are 5 or more~~ nodes ~~away from the nearest non-empty node. Use these numbers as a guide to reach the System Core~~.

Clicking on a green unexplored node will reveal its contents: if the node is empty, it will turn orange and allow you to further explore adjacent nodes.

~~Note that~~ the number doesn't tell you how distant you are from the nearest Defensive Subsystem.

Instead of being empty a node may contain:

* a System Core

* a Defensive Subsystem

* a Utility Subsystem

* a Data Cache

If the newly explored node is empty it will briefly display a number from 1 to 5. The number says how far you are from the nearest node with a Utility Subsystem, System Core or Data Cache.

Number:

* 1 means an adjacent node is a Utility Subsystem, System Core or Data Cache

* 2, 3 and 4 means the nearest Utility Subsystem, System Core or Data Cache is respectively 2, 3 and 4 nodes away

* 5 means you are 5 or more nodes away from the nearest Utility Subsystem, System Core or Data Cache

The number doesn't tell you how distant you are from the nearest Defensive Subsystem.
