Binary puzzle, Arkadians

[Eran]

I found a solar system with a tower that allows me to control an emissary to open a gate to various locations using binary codes. You can locate some codes on a certain planet. I can't crack the code to the binary of the missing "reliquary" option.

Codes tested:
010111- Infinite arch(ringworld)
011011- Dead God (destroyed ship)
011101- Dead star- Couldn't get this one to work?
011111- Dying Home
001111-Bust (x henceforth)
011110- x
111110- x
111111- x
000001- x
111100- x
000000- x
101000- started inverting the other codes here - x
100100- x
100010- x
100000- x
101010-x

The only pattern of the "given" codes I could detect is that the 0's were getting further apart. But I'm not that smart TBH. Does anyone have a solution for this puzzle or a decent guess they can back with hypothesis? Or is the puzzle unfinished?

The other question is VERY spoilers, you've been warned.

After recovering the talonian and providing them sufficient parts, you learn that there's some Arkadians about looking to blip their nice big ship back into normal space, but have no friends to help. Talon gives you a translator or whatever, but I can't find any Void Stalkers that use a random binary code, and I can't find any of the deep-space pulsers that kill your speed either. Where should I be looking for these guys?

[Eran]

Cracked it on a totally random guess. 011100 I don't know how you are supposed to infer or come to that conclusion, or where the heck your supposed to find it, but there it is.

For reference, I spent probably 8 hours flying around dead space yesterday trying to find a thumper to challenge. I was feeling pretty hopeless. I actually didn't even connect that these two issues were related.

I request of Kevin: Give some crew guidance after a certain amount of time with both the log entries with the hints and the tower discovered that gives a wrong code. After attempting give another span of time where the crewman hints again. If you still can't get it after that, give a longer time then the correct answer. This was painful. At least having some input to imply I'm on the correct course would have given me a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi @Eran
Sorry you ran into trouble with the undocumented Watchtower mission(s). This was a bit of a headscratcher for me too.

The sequence you're supposed to divine out is a list of entries in one of the encounters. I've added some math to make it clearer:
010111 = 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 23 - Endless Arch
011000 == 24 (Deleted entry)
011001 == 25 (Deleted entry)
011010 == 26 (Deleted entry)
011011 == 27 - Broken God
(Data corrupted) - New Reliquary
011101 == 29 - Dead Star
011110 == 30 (Deleted entry)
011111 == 31 - Dying home

The "New Reliquary" entry is just between 27 and 29, if you convert those binary numbers to decimal.

Interpolating the missing entry as "28" and converting back to binary, you get 011100 (which is what you found by trial and error).

I checked the game files -- there are no destinations outside of entries 23, 27, 28, 29, and 31 (For Kepler 17311, at any rate. Sorry.). I tried those by trial-and-error as well, before I checked. The reason that this had me stymied, weeks ago, was that there *should've* been a result for #29, and wasn't. After I checked the game files, I understood -- it's a minor bug. That'll get fixed in the 1.0 release, I'm sure. Unfortunately, the actual result for destination 29 is underwhelming -- it's right near the Void Stalkers / Collapsar nebula, a place you've probably already been, based on the "Flight Recorder" mission hint

I cannot for the life of me find this Watchtower planet. I've got nearly everything completely done, I'm just trying to find the last Arkadians and a second tetrahedron... where is it? (galactic coordinates?)

[WildLynx]

It is a table of sequental numbers. To restore it, just keep incrementing the first one.

[shiantar]

Hi @kenshin
Try -39.7 x -37.6 for the Watchtower
and try 21.8 x 0.5 for the blue polyhedron

[Bhordelik]

Ok but when I jumped after the watchtower, there is nothing to do here. Only two empty planets, a star and a wormhole. no quest, no trigger, nothing

[Wlerin]

If you are referring to the New Reliquary system, there won't be anything there until you've received the quest The Talonian's Task and gained the ability to communicate with what you will find there.

[Bhordelik]

I have this quest, given the parts for the talonian, found the second polyhedron but can't communicate with the stalkers. All my map is done (except fixed taders) scraped all corners of visibles stars, even "hello world" area , nobody has dialog or items to give/trade anymore.

[Daphonic]

I'm stalk on finding Stalkers as well.... I'm just aimlessly flying around at this point :(

Search in your log for "Yet another old Arkadian Settlement" it will show you a "map" for a hidden system!

The CTX traders will cluster around 38.8 x 15.4
You need to fly to the nearest star at 38.5 x 15.7 and the Stalkers will appear

It's just the binary number that's next in sequence after Dead God, they increase by 1

all that i find there are guild members. nothing else

[Clown Reemus]

I have destroyed all known stalkers before acquiring the translator for them. Did I miss out on some content, this way?

I did the same thing! Maybe the developer can help
