Something is amiss in the outpost....

What does it mean when I get the sequence right but got the wrong sample?

I believe that's just the flavor text, as long as you get the "Success!" message you completed it properly for the event / gold / progress.

ah well never mind, I managed to work out three of them.

But what I could not find out yet, where do we get the new capsules that hatch into creatures? Only through solving the quest?

The new capsules drop in the cupboard, they are not tied to the quest

Some of the success messages are getting a good guffaw from me. :D Loved the fell-asleep-at-the-keyboard one in particular. Waffleface, evidently!

In-character, I am very concerned that things might spread to the scientists, too! After all, it seems to be a highly prolific cross-species pathogen...

Out of curiosity, is there any way to speed up finding more samples? Is it a timed thing (pops up after some minutes have passed and you visit the site), does it show up after a certain number of pages viewed, or is it completely random and just a low chance event where gently mashing refresh on a page might help? Has anyone made observations? :D

Edit: From my experience so far, new samples seem to be time-based, with a bit of randomness thrown in after the time has elapsed.

There is a new capsule?

There is a new capsule?

Quite a few in the first post! They're supposedly going to get more common as time goes on and fairly scarce at the moment.

Oh thank you - I can see them now!

[BlueLatios]

Interesting :o
