extra cogs

[alation13]

I have noticed that we are now getting lots more cogs. Does that mean that we can solve both the missing cog puzzles from the base game (the one near the AG and one in the forest) or is there another cog puzzle in the new directors cut dungeon that may require the extra cogs I have bought/found?

Back in my day, if we didn't play in English we didn't even get cogs.... and hell some people couldn't even solve the gear puzzles because some cogs were missing!!!!

You kids don't know how good you have it, with your pogs... cogs.... hogs...

I am still missing 1 simple pog for below skara brae.

After doing the missing cogs in the forest I still have 3 simple, 2 simple activation cogs and 2 drive cogs. This is lots more than the base game on release as there was only enough cogs to do EITHER the forest door OR the AG door. That is why I am wondering if there is another new cog puzzle that has been added because even if I do the AG cog puzzle as well I will still have some spares.

Or it the devs could have just supplied us with an overabundance of cogs because so may people whined that there wasn't enough.

I've noticed this also; it's with one of the merchants a bit further down the market, right? Yeah, I thought so too: "That's new!"

I bought it because they were cheap and one is better safe than sorry. :-)

My personal take on it is, that it's put there because of the trouble some had in the original (mostly German version of the game, I think) where there were problems with some gates where you need cogs, but they didn't find them or couldn't get them, or simply didn't work, or something to that effect. (I never had any problems with it, but, well...) Back then, there was plea for more cogs, and I think this is in response to it.

Now, I was wondering, because, with the new song, you'd actually need LESS cogs (as far as they were used on the main quest), but I guess it's for those that want to play without the song, or, it's because the devs want to make sure similar problems with other gates aren't detrimental any longer.

I doubt they are for the new dungeon specifically - though I'm not 100% sure yet, since I didn't level up enough to go there yet. ;-)

I think it's more of an "assurance" kind of thing.

If you run out of cogs and you're good with hex files, the item code for simple cog in the original is IOt44 ;)

There is actually some more extra cogs from the crazy lady in the forest to buy.
