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 ?

[Kekmeister]

Well the only unconventional thing is only 1 dome. That one dome is a medium dome and has already passed 100 colonists. You'd think after having only the mega, 500 and 1000 colonist milestones left the colony would be "ready"

[Lantantan]

With one dome, thats quite an accomplishment! But if you only managed to get 41 techs on your evaluation, you might well struggle with some of the harder endgame challenges. It's thus very possible the game still doesnt consider your colony ready enough. I could imagine there being a hard coded 3 dome minimum requirement, or even 250 pop to ensure just that.

[Kekmeister]

The one thing i didn't want to do was expand because of the resource storages; you end up having one really rich dome and one that is always in need of something you need to get with the RC transport because the damn shuttles don't consider the situation serious enough. How do people solve that ? I always ended up with that problem.

Check your map for the silver orb thing. You may have scanned it already.

The orb event does not start until you go poking at the orb.

[Kekmeister]

no orb ever spawned so i assume you mean somone else.

I just discovered Triboelectric scrubbers can clean eachother
all my problems are fixed

Yeah whatever mystery you rolled needs a trigger, and you haven't triggered it yet. You were assuming the trigger was a number of sols, but that wasn't it. It also doesn't look like it was scanning or analyzing. So it must be something to do with domes, population, production, or research.

[Kekmeister]

Oh no.

I might've rolled the AI one.

Which is a problem, because i have yet to even research the positronic brain. I never had enough electronics to start mass producing. This is really helpfull though, thanks.

Sorry for the necro but is there a way to know what mystery I ended up with ? I'm in the same situation that I picked random and I'm way after the 100 sol , scanned all the map even almost completed deep scan and nothing happened , I have a medium dome and two small ones connected with a passage , scanned all anomalies the eye things (that you scan) were about a dust devil don't know if it means anything.

I ended up here with me doing a google search with mystery not triggering and that was the first result

Edit: Last war just triggered , no idea what I had to do though

[Emmote]

The trigger for most mysteries is 100 population. Some of the harder ones require more.

@Wet Biscuit I built this for you. Maybe someone will find it useful.
It would have been sooner but the pain in finding the proper code made my head spin.
