Finding Tesla City

[Sandwich-Anomaly]

what does one have to do besides going north east to find tesla city? do i have to progress a certain way to make it show itself? do i have to hit day 15 for it to show up? do i need to unlock and build an outpost for it to show?

I think it unlocks some timeeither during, or after the fiasco with the Londoners. I could be wrong.

According to the wiki, the scouting progression is such;

lost expedition >sturdy shelter >Steel Bridge >Weather Station >Winterhome >America Camp >Temporary settlement >fishing village >Tesla city

last time i managed to find the american camp before going to winterhome. i got the automaton from the bridge but stopped going anywhere due to me having to deal with the damn londoners. very likely i have to wait for the londoners fiasco to make it show but thats just my theory. really REALLY need to start making those damn automatons soon.

Aye, some areas I've read say that the areas on the map that unlock are entirely random besides the main scripted ones. All I'd suggest is get as many scouting parties out as possible

Be sure to savescum the Tesla City so you can get the steam cores inside.

Tesla City becomes a usable outpost whether or not the scouts survive investigating it. You don't have to savescum unless you can't spare those five workers.

i saved before entering tesla city scout team got zapped could,nt reload saved game plus if you don,t enter tesla city it seems you lose the ability to build an outpost there (unless bugged in my version) and yes it shows up after london fiasco.....

already mass producing automatons and stuff thanks to tesla city but in future games that i intend to do i would like to know when it shows up. i scouted the area to the north first before going south but none of the other locations showed up until i went to winterhome and then the rest of the scouting locations opened up that led me to tesla city. so im guessing exploring winterhome opens up the rest of the locations then?

Aye, though, the sooner you trigger the Londoners event, the sooner the storm will hit.

yeah but it doesnt matter since by day 15 that one guy shows up no matter what. by then ive got most of the useful tech just missing the necessary steam cores so doesnt matter when the londoners show up as long as i can start producing automatons. who deals with them quicker though, order or faith?

Be sure to try to enter or lose option of a depot.

i know entering is the only way... wae. too bad its so far away that it takes a whole day to get a steam core.

[sbhink805]

Wasn't sure. I found out the hard way...:/

As soon as Winterhome is searched, American Camp becomes available "north" of the city. That's the moment Tesla City can be discovered (American City --> Temporary Camp --> Walled Colony --> Dreadnought Landing --> Tesla City)

yeah i pretty much figured that out as soon as i forced my scouts to head for winterhome. sure it makes the game real complicated very quickly but hey... steam cores. thanks a lot game
