Got an Incubator Power Core without buying or building it?

[Xebwar]

So I logged in today and noticed in the Foundry on the blueprint that I owned 1 Incubator Power Core (which I definitely didn't have last night). I still have the default 50 Platinum so I definitely did not buy it from the market, and I definitely didn't have the resources to build one (I'm only as far as Mars). So where did it come from?

They added a free one in the patch notes to make completeing Howl of the Kubrow easier.

it's a junction reward now, not exactly "give everyone a free one"

I still dont get why people were having trouble with Howl of the Kubrow

because of argon crystals for beginners who aren't even close to getting to the Void

Argon Crystal is hard to get for newbies

[archmag]

It's not Argon Crystal that is a problem but Nano Spores. You get access to Argon Crystal much earlier than spores from first void Extermination mission accessible from Phobos, it is rather easy to solo and then you can stay there to look for Crystals. For Nano Spores you have to get to Saturn past Jupiter and Europa.

It's not a big problem though, just a large delay. You start a mission somewhere around Venus and then have to progress to Mercury, Mars, Phobos, Ceres, Jupiter, Europa, Saturn before you can finish it.

Ahh i guess that makes sense in a way.

[Kittenpox]

Yep. Even once I figured out how to get Argon (not as though I needed a ton of those), having to wait until I could grind the rest of the materials for myself basically defeated the purpose of me beginning the quest in the first place.
Like "Oh, this is neat!" quickly becoming "I guess I'll never get one of these", as I scoured the missions for materials that were never going to drop (because wrong planet).

[Xebwar]

Ah, I see. Read the patch notes after you mentioned it.

Because apparently we can't have anything to look foward to doing, it all has to be done right now apparently.

[Triage]

Hah. I finally got the spores to build one last night, woke up this morning to find out it was my second.

I thougth I was a dummy and wasted 100k I couldn't afford. What a relief.

As a new player with over 100 hours in game, I didn;t bother with the pet story chain due to what seemed like high cost and time for a dumb pet.

I didn't bother with it until I got my infested zit to squeeze it in and make my pet by then I had all I needed
