Are there duplicate abandoned tablets?

[barnes.dg]

I recently gathered 6 abandoned tablets. When I try and "use" them I get a message saying "data from all tablets has been uploaded." Could this mean they are duplicated of ones I have already used? I still need to find 5 or 6 more to complete the tech trees.

Follow up: After a closer look, the only tech blueprints I don't have are for tech items that are still in the "Work In Progress" stage.

Keep though tablets in a safe place your be able to unlock the chemlab tech when its released.

The way it seems to work in the game engine is all the tablets are absolutely identical when you pick them up, and that's why they're stackable. Their blueprint content only "crystalizes" when you attempt to use the tablet - behind the scenes there's nothing stored on the tablet itself.

i have run across tablets that are not stackable. I am not sure of the significance of this.

In the game, there are hundreds of extra tablets lying around the game map. I have over 90 extra tablets.

That's weird, all tablets should stack. Which version you're playing on?

I ran across a tablet that doesn't stack to. And I have the latest version of the game.

Could you provide me with a screenshot and save file? Please send them over to [e-mail]

Save files are located in:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\PyramidGames\OccupyMars\SaveData

If you remember where did you found the tablet, please mark the spot on the map. Did you found it in abandoned base?

Sometimes there are abandoned tablets in supply drops. Those do not stack with the "normal" ones from abandoned bases. Is it not intended this way?

There was a bug a while ago, abandoned tablets from supply drops were not stackable, but we fixed that already. Looks like this bug came back, can I ask you to send me save file and logs too?

Logs are the txt files named Player and Player-prev located in: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\PyramidGames\OccupyMars

Thanks!

The Tablets from the supply drops will stack with others from supply drop, but not with tablets found in abandoned buildings.

that wont work. the next update will kill ur saves. they wont work in the next version.

With the possible exception of tablets from supply pods, all the other tablets appear to work the same way.

None of the tablets are predefined. When you "use" a tablet it will randomly choose a Blueprint that is unknown to your character.

You can quasi-select which Blueprint you wish to learn by saving your game before you "use" your tablet. Then "use" your tablet and if you do not get the Blueprint you want unlocked, load your saved game and try again. If the same Blueprint keeps getting unlocked and it is not the one you want, reload the game and wait a little longer before you "use" the tablet. Taking different actions or delaying your "use" of the tablet will cause a different random number to be used, resulting in a different Blueprint being selected to unlock.

If all of your Blueprints have been unlocked, then continue to collect tablets but do not "use" them. Save them until the developers release future updates with more Blueprints to unlock.

Why don't you read a thread before you make an answer?
There's no need for saving tablets for future unlocks because these will come with a huge update which changes / improves much of the game mechanics and old saves won't function after the update,
ALL HAVE TO START NEW THEN.
