Is there a prerequisite to getting the foundation?

[MidnightMist]

I have yet to see the Foundation despite getting the basement key six times. I seem to be stuck after accessing the basement from the fountain; as there is nothing to do down there. I have basically no idea how to progress except for entering the basement from another angle, which means The Foundation. So I keep doing runs solely trying to draw it but...it never comes. Is it just bad RNG?

I mean.. My foundation is in D6 So idk. And what I have shown. It can be also found in D4 or at least in Trump's one video I show his Foundation on D4. So it can be found very early on. But I guess it also comes down into luck.

Donald Trump plays Blue Prince?

If you circle around the center looking out at the elevated places the doors are on you should see it.

hmmm im still struggling to find it. i did have the Foundation there BEFORE i purchased the Blue Tents, not sure if that makes a difference. ill try moving it using the Shrine. feel like im losing my mind since i could find all the others haha

Only certain tiles are viable for it, think it's a roughly 3x3 grid from B8 to D6. So if you want to maximize your odds, you need to explore these rooms as late in the day as possible, ideally with several rerolls available. And I'd heavily assume the C8 spot can't be a foundation, as it would be very awkward if it got it's back wall blocked by the antechamber.

And honestly, I'd probably remove the 6th row from the possibility pool. So that would be B8 (confirmed in my save file as it has my foundation), D8 (just very likely mirror spot to B8)
B7, and D7. Maybe C7.

My gf got the foundation on day 4 in D4. I had to try not show how mindblown I was at that.

Please tell me you have updates on this. I have it on rank 8, too, but bought the blue tents later, too. ^^'

The note was only there the day I drafted The Foundation.
It doesn't seem to be there on following days.
