Mystery not starting

[Kekmeister]

Sol 160, about to finish the wondermine, got the 40 tech evaluation with 41 techs researched. Still no indication of the mystery. I set it to "Random", does that just disable it ?

Have you deep scanned every tile on the map yet? Because I think it triggers with researching an eye anomaly somewhere on the map. Or maybe it's different for every mystery? But random shouldn't disable it, random should give you a random mystery and it prefers to give you one that you haven't had yet.

I have a game with the orb thing in the pile of rocks and everything deep scanned all techs and it never activated..
:EDIT: All anomalies scanned as well

[morph113]

Can you post a screenshot of the map? The orb should be from an eye anomaly. If you really scanned everything, then I guess it's a bug that the mystery is not there despite picking it in the beginning?

[Kekmeister]

that's the thing, i didn't pick one, i chose "Random", because i didn't want to know what i'd get.
I didn't think that getting nothing is also an option.

[morph113]

I don't think nothing is an option when you pick random. It should actually pick a random mystery. But Slyke57 said he picked the sphere mystery but yet the mystery is not in the game which is kind of weird and sounds like a bug, unless he did in fact not scan everything.

They tend to start fairly late, if your colony isn't doing extremely well.

[Kekmeister]

Well i went with a one-medium dome strategy. Maybe the game counts that as not doing well ? I'm producing 2k research and am now almost self-sufficient with the exception of concrete.
No renegades either and a steady flow of every resource.

Also i'd say Sol 177 is way past what other people say theirs start at. Usually it's around 91.

Update: Just got another 39 probes and deep-scanned the remaining tiles. Every tile is now deep-scanned.

I've never got to the point or seen any of the mystery stuff and i've had about 6 120 sol playthroughs.

[Kekmeister]

There IS one last anomaly that has been around since the beginning, but it spawned in a small secluded area that unfortunately generated bugged, so nothing can actually get there.
I'll build a tunnel and report back after i've researched it, maybe it'll allow an eye anomaly to spawn.

My first playthrough it started at around sol 120 (wildfire) but I can't remember what the trigger was and my current playthrough at around sol 95 but only after I scanned an eye anomaly which was on a plateau that I didn't have access before and build a tunnel just so that I can reach the anomalies on the plateau. If I wouldn't have done so, then the mystery probably would have never triggered (sphere mystery).

[Kekmeister]

I already built tunnels to both plateaus on my map. both are also fully scanned.

[morph113]

What about anomalies from meteors? I mean meteors can still happen even outside of meteor showers which require 2 bars to occur. Can anomalies from meteors also trigger mysteries or are they always tied to anomalies which are on the map from the start of the game?

[Kekmeister]

I've had multiple meteor showers, yeah, i'm playing in a 3 bar meteor area. If so, then one of the MDS lasers likely destroyed it, but i don't think that happened. So far the only anomalies i've gotten from meteors were research anomalies.

[Kekmeister]

I've built the tunnel and researched the last anomaly, a few sols have passed but no new anomalies have spawned or anything. Am i bricked ? I put a lot of hours into this save, this is seriously horsecrap if all i get is that lousy evaluation

[Lantantan]

There might be number of domes or required population triggers. It sounds like you're playing in a very unconventional way and that might cause the game to assume you aren't ready to face the mystery yet.
