some explanation required

[=GGS=The Mammoth]

sometimes when entering a building i get these code's to ''crack''..the problem i got with this code thingy is the following 97-95-87-81-XX and 3 options on what the number could be..i've come across multiple types of these codes but assuming it is a ''luck of the draw'' then you might aswell take em out..i dont find any use for these types of in game mini-games while exploring pretty much because i would now only find the endresult a waste of time it does not spike my curiousity on the ''what, why and how''.. now if there's an actual logical thing to this number then someone would need to explain that to me..especially if it actually has some value of potential knowledge about what happened etx that could spike someone's curiousity on the ''what, why and how''.

Technically the purose is a reason to learn the language(s). When you understand the Vykreen/Gek/Korvax you can understand what each 'quest' giver wants.

As for the numerical number game, just another vein along the same lines so users have some actual puzzling to go with their mining and grinding :D

Some are number sequences you have to work out, others (the ones with 4 digit numbers), are just a matter of figuring out which set is missing.

The number ones I've come across were all patterns. Not particularly difficult ones when it gives you possible answers as well. I'm quite enjoying it at the moment but they'll need to increase the number of meaningful and varied interactions with aliens and the environment to keep it interesting.

Its not "luck of the draw" they r actually easy. Its like those logical test thing with those numbers. Like i saw one with 1-2-6-24-120-xxx The answer was 720. They arent hard to figure it out.

Some are "easier" than other, like when it's a number with 4 digits and you spot right out that it's just a circling of the numbers left to right or right to left (either going back to front or front to back), i.e. - "4378 - 3784 - 7843 - xxxx" than the answer is 8437 because you notice the numbers changing from the right to the left and going back to the right.

Some are about the positions of the numbers, some are about the differences between the numbers; have yet to find one that required more that two seconds of thought - but then again, I'm a math guy. :/

It is a simple code if you look at the pattern of the numbers. Some patterns easier than others. Count the space between each of the numbers look for the pattern.

lol they r easy asf. Im not really good in math but i can figure them out in seconds. They r easier than those logical test.

Anything to do with numbers is just witchery. The only possible way to solve these things is to guess randomly.

lol no its not.

If you lack the logic to figure out the number sequence answers, you got bigger problems than playing this game.

Especialy if you are not that versed in maths and sequence recognition ;)

lmao ikr? The first time i saw the number puzzle i instantly knew what i have to do to figure it out. R they like braindead lmao

I think we should be able to shoot the machinery to get the reward.

Not everyone is good at maths and recognising sequences. And I know a lot of those that made a lot of their lives just by focusing on other points they are strong in like language and learning texts or acting.
