HDD and research on MAM

[Jack-o-Lantern]

Hi,

I've noticed a thing while scanning HDD's ....
At some point i had no more recipes to scan (all already reclaimed or scanned and left on MAM to be selected/chosen)

that's fine.... and as supposed (not yet unlocked all tiers also...)

Then I choose between two recipes, so the one NOT chosen should return to recipes that could be found with a new research....

thing is that selecting new HDD scan, it still tell me that there's nothing to reasearch....

so playing till the end I could end up with one less recipe as last choice will throw the other in a bin because I won't be able to do any further research?

save and reload, and that last recipe should be scannable

Not seen this - I've seen recipes come back on rescans - sure its not a trick or some other weird thing?

It did that to me. If you reload it will work.
I think the game sets a flag that there are none left when it puts up the final two..then you select one and it doesnt reset that flag letting you scan for the now last one that was returned to the pool. I know either time or reloading the game fixed it for me,

May want to make sure QA site has this flagged if not already.

Just a weird bug with the last recipe scan, it never clears the "hold" on it.

it's a known bug, pretty sure it's there.

Hmm guess I've not cycled them enough to see it.

If you spend 100 tickets to buy a HD, would that then be the recipe you'd receive?

This has nothing to do with that - please read the OP next time.

Oh, it entirely does.

The system is built around the assumption that there will always be two recipes to choose from, but the problem here appears to be that once you've found and scanned all the HDs, there should be one recipe left that the game can't offer to you.

So if you were to buy a HD, or get one as a FICSMAS gift, that one missing recipe should therefore be the one you get.

Randy the hdd buyable in it shop has zero to do with the last recipe bug, that a save and reload can fix.
I gathered up 114 hdd off the map and had this issue myself in phase 4… you only need 113 to unlock everything.

TY.

I quit, reset server, and it's now scanning for last alt.

OP here....

Thanks to replies.....
Yes I found that scanning HDD in a row and not tested to reload...

It make sense....
Doing so, you get a new HDD scan working and after usual 10 minutes you get one choice instead of two...

That is correct
