Loops

After reaching Diamond status, you enable the possibility for loops, for some Badges. Once you have received twice the requirement for Diamond you will get a circle with number two in it in the top right corner. Some Badges aren't possible to loop at all, some have a loop-limit of 9, and others 99.

Addons

When achieving the status of a Gem badge you have unlocked the possibility of Addons. Several Badges can have mini-badges added to them, these are called Addons. For example, The Traditional Cacher will get a nice 366-addon added to it if you have logged a Geocache of the type Traditional on every date of the calendar.

The following placeholder Badges shows the available Addons. Since some of them share locations, we can not show them all on single Badge. No Badge can have all these Addons and the combinations shown below aren't possible.

The available addons are: D/T 81 matrix, 366 calendar days, leap day, FTF, Giga event, Lost & Found (L&F) Attribute, Boat attribute, Old Virtual (2005 or earlier), CITO, Field Puzzle attribute, Partnership attribute, Mega event, Climbing attribute, Geotour attribute

The Geocacher badge has six unique addons which apply to all levels, not just gemstones. These are Community Celebration, Ape, HQ, HQ Celebration, Blockparty, and Locationless.

History

BadgeGen was originally created and maintained by Kyle Mills, as a macro for GSAK. In Project-GC's early days we had the license to make a similar implementation of it embedded in Project-GC. In year 2020, the ownership of BadgeGen was transferred to the owner of Project-GC. This was done since Kyle himself wasn't geocaching anymore, and both parts wished for the name of BadgeGen to live on. Alongside with the acquiring of the BadgeGen license the product went through a big overhaul, adding new badges, rebalancing, new features and a new badge design. The new design was created by Markus (clappy).

Kyle Mills maintained BadgeGen up until, and including, version 3.x. The new version owned by Project-GC became version 4, plain and simple.
