Well, I think it would improve the simulation - although it’s already quite lovely.
Part of the reason I’m even asking is that I had that overlapping happen with the default count of cells. If you dial the counts up to max it’s pretty much a constant thing, which is a bit unfortunate.
Alternatively to my initial suggestion: Could an imminent assimilation just disable non-assimilation descriptions from popping up for X seconds? I think that might be considerably less work with nearly the same results.
