Advanced pulsar not unlocking

[Thurlin]

I've had the Pulsar drive for ages now, but the advanced pulsar is not unlocking.... don't think there is anything else I need to research for it, is it?... Anything I can do to get it to unlock?

You can check to see if there is anything else you need to research in the tech tree. You just have to click the full tree button. However in this case there isn't any requirement besides pulsar drive.

Good news (news not guaranteed good). Under the new rules, it's entirely possible you'll simply never get that unlock except by stealing it from another faction.

Assuming Advanced Pulsar is one of the stochastic techs, but I'd expect it to be.

[Thurlin]

It said it's a 40% chance to unlock now, is that a one time chance and if you fail you never get it? None of the other factions have it either, so can't steal it...... bugger

[RawCode]

this is garbage mechanic that i personally hate, almost all good toys have only chance to unlock, and no, you can't pay 4.99 to unlock them...yet...

Basically, yes.

I hear when you finish the tech tree you can research 'future tech' to reroll missed techs, but by the time you can do that you won't care about Advanced Pulsar.

that is why tech re roll need to be available early

It's a garbage mechanic that needs to be yeeted into the sun, it's a horrific idea. My Advanced Pulsar has yet to roll as well.

the idea is that you try out different tech on different run. it is not a bad idea just bad implementation.

Well if the 'different tech' was actually good it might be a different story

Fission spinner isn't too awful in comparison, and it's a first-gen tech so it should be guaranteed.

Agree the new unlock mechanic is just bollocks. I have quit playing for now. Let's see if the developers prefer to stick with their vision and to please the more hardcore crowd. I admit I am more of a "casual" player and don't much care for this type of difficulty.

Why not just turn it off?

Which is great but I'd prefer the base game to not be garbage.

it would be great if you could actually do it in game without screwing around with files
