OUTPOST #1 – BULLETIN #199
PRIORITY: URGENT
PURPOSE: ANNOUNCEMENT
SUBJECT: NEW SPECIES DISCOVERED

Attention all scientists!

Not one but TWO new species are now available in the cupboard, thanks to the tireless efforts of our stalwart scientists who continue to go above and beyond in their research endeavors! These capsules are joining our seasonal rotation due to complications in the production process, so they will only be available for a limited time. Thank you for your understanding!

We are pleased to introduce two new staff members to the community!

phoenixstag
phoenixstag has joined the writing team as our newest writer, and the Halloween 2024 quest marks her first major collaborative project with TFO! We're delighted to have her working with us to bring you more wonderful stories!

must_ingel
must_ingel has joined the team as a writing assistant, someone who will help out behind the scenes to ease our writing team's workload and help streamline the process of preparing quests for release. This is a huge help for me and the other writers, and we're so excited to be working with her!

Thank you so much to our new team members and please join me in welcoming them to the team! :)

Our beloved spooky season is upon us again—as evidenced by the arrival of Halloween capsules in the Cupboard and Genome Splicer a couple weeks ago. I’m sure many of you have all been waiting (im)patiently for the onset of our latest event!

This year, there’s been no fighting with the old spaghetti code to get our Halloween event up and running. That’s right! This is our first holiday using the new code, and we are HYPED for what’s in store for all our amazing players!

Thank you for all of your support and patience over the past several months as we’ve worked to squash bugs and continue to improve your gameplay experience on TFO. We hope you enjoy this quest and its accompanying event!

Wishing you all a wonderful and spooky Halloween season!

View the quest on the Quest Page.

i just wanted to say that i honestly appreciate how cheap things, like brushes and such, are. for very little, i can afford to get a gross of brushes to make my sweeties beautiful-er.
i have no idea what the appearance actually Does or Means, but i still like to make some of my faves even purdier. and i can, thanks to the decent pricing in the shop. ^^<3

what are some of the features You would like to share appreciation for?

I love getting creatures from the shelter because there are often some really unexpected finds.
My #1 is definitely a G1 Saltanta capsule that grew into this gorgeous girl:


I keep thinking that someone sheltered her by mistake - a splicer-only species, who would do that? But since she is G1, I have no way of finding her previous owner.

Do you have any weird or fun shelter critters?

Attention all scientists!

Thank you all for your patience as we've worked on fixing system errors and any other issues that have cropped up from the recent optimizations. Although we're still sorting out some bugs here and there, the general systems seem to be adequately functional.

With that in mind, we've taken this opportunity to stock the cupboard with a brand-new capsule! Emelia Wirt recently returned from a summertime seaside expedition, bringing with her a new species for us to study. If you should choose to work with this aquatic creature, please submit any new data to her lab or Sherman Kamada's, as Sherman accompanied her on this expedition and is assisting in data compilation and further research.

(As a side note, I am sure we are all grateful for Sherman's return. His brief absence due to assisting Emelia on the expedition was perhaps most felt in the recent monotony of meals in the cafeteria, which we hope will improve now that he's back!)

as it goes once we reach 1000+ pages... time for the next thread! onto V5! :D

and as always, please remember to only post once per day. thank you. <3

:o) How do you all live with how these facilities are run? I got sick of them and optimised them. You can thank me later.

EDIT:
We current expect downtime to start around 14:00 on 25.08.2024 and last for at least 3 or 4 hours.

Realtalk: Maybe you, too, have gotten a bit tired of hearing about the mythical recode.

Well, we have news for you! We're sick of it, too. It's been over three doggone years. We're tired, bro, just tired. Enough is enough. It's time. The recode is here right now... er, for values of 'right now' that are scheduled for later this month.

Okay, okay, our staging server is making confused, anxious noises as I say this, but we've unleashed some testers on it and the main functionality should be more or less available. It will probably not die horribly once more people are using it. But even if it does, the recode is pretty sexy and the developers can fix it much faster!*
