Monkey Blood City Question

[genericplayer12345]

So I've been trying to get Monkey Blood in Castlegar, been restarting a bunch to get a good map layout. I tripped up a few times, one after I'd gotten like 3/4 of the clues (only had books left), but then restarted because I messed up on trying to get the fiction books.

So, new city, Gustav shows up, I give him the Cricket bat, and nothing.

I know you need to hit all four clues in the same city, but does it have to be the same 'playthrough' of that city? I've deleted and restarted this city multiple times, and got the cricket bat conversation + the other clues at various points - does the game count all of those even though I deleted those runs?

Of course it has to be the same play through, it doesn't even make sense to ask that question. And seed numbers don't need to be random, you can literally type one in. Try: 123 if you're not finding a good one.

Start with a clean save if you're not sure what you've previously done.

I know it has to be the same campaign, what I meant was whether if I'd gotten two out of four clues, then deleted the city, would the game still consider those two clues gotten for that city.

Since I've been trying to give Gustav the Cricket Bat in Castlegar even on a fresh Castlegar, before he leaves, but he just gives me some random boilerplate comment on the gift rather than the van Nooten one.

ADDENDUM: Also when I try to search a Mega Mall (the 4*4 Mall) with a Rank 10 Scavenger, get nothing - again, same city, I'd gotten some of the Monkey Blood reqs beforehand before deleting that save because I'd borked something.

I dont know but i diont think so.

My personal tip for gettung monkey blood:
You only need a city with a motel, a cricket bat OR a 812 mart and a Mall/Mega mall.
(I got this on the second city!)
1. Dont scout the motel, put a trap on it and build around
2. Save before scavenging the mall for the pet store event
3. Build many schools for the science books event
4. DONT research signposts, that triggers gretchen!
5. Leave spacce for spawning zombies
6. When you get the cricket bat, sell to gustav and the trader should NOT have "negotiator"
7. get a scientest level 10 before "hordes" for the newspaper event
8. When you got newspaper, school (science books) and pet shop eventz, sell crickt bat to gustav
9. research signpost
10. put "useless" survivors on dangerous missions to make them wounded...
All other is then automatic ;)
