Algorithm increases your $PART scavenge rate MULTIPLIER.

The scavenge rate formula is as follows:

```
// (0.0003 + charging_station_level * 0.00003) * (1.1^algorithm_level) Every 3 seconds.
```

The below table shows the possible exponential growth of the scavenge rate per hour/day.

It's important to note that while the Golem Charging Station may seem like a weaker choice to upgrade compared to Algorithm, the GCS will have future cases pertaining (and not limited) to NFTs.
