So I've heard that the new super rare encounter with the Mysterious Stranger doesn't automatically drop the Solaris app and has a chance to drop Dry Bones...

This is simply unacceptable when Dry Bones are so common and easy to get, especially when the encounter itself has such a low drop rate. Please remove Dry Bones as a reward for the encounter so only the app reward is given.

Edit: According to Xylax's tumblr, the encounter also has the chance to drop a rare breeding item. So I'm editing this suggestion to remove the increased drop rate to just removing the db reward.

Edit 2: So the encounter, according to the wiki, gives up to 50DB, still not enough if you ask me but whatever. It also drops UAV and Human Liver. So there are several commonish rewards and 2 rare ones on a super rare encounter. At the moment, I've gone through maybe 11 energy bars and haven't encountered the mysterious stranger. The droprate seems to be as low as the Interstellar droprate and it needs to be increased if the chance of getting a common prize is higher than getting the app or the rare breeding item.

Edit 3: My hot take on this:

Remove Human Liver as a reward. Demand for it is basically non-existent. It sells for 400 SB currently if you even manage to sell it. And with three pages worth of it for sale, I don't view that as worthwhile.

Remove the Broken Drone as a reward. They give what? 20 XP and sell for like 150 SB? For a rare encounter, it's kinda weirdly placed.

Up the Dry Bones encounter to at least 100. It's a rare encounter. At least if you don't get the app or breeding item, you get *something* for finding it. 100 Dry Bones is half a Maneater stud fee, x2 Tracking Herds, x20 trains for your Adols in Vulture Chase, 1/3 of a GoP, and 1/6 of a Buff Balls.

Currently, the rewards basically give you a chance of being given junk. Not exactly making me excited to see what I get if I find the encounter.

Edit 4: Even though it's on the wiki, here's the rewards the encounter gives.
+20 Dry Bones
+UAV Search and Rescue
+40 Dry Bones
+50 Dry Bones
+Human Liver
+Solaris (app)
+Secret breeding item

Open to other people's suggestions, comment why you don't support. Though I don't see why anyone wouldn't support this.

But the encounter hasn't been out for half a month. It's only been out for about 3-4 days. I'm sure if they realeased it on the first of august, we would have found more.

Oh I actually thought it was coded in earlier; that's on me. I still think it should be less rare but that's much better. Maybe closer to interstellar which I think was too rare, but not so rare that I hated it XP I still think the whole setup of the encounter would benefit from a tweak though.

Thank you Flyteck for wording it better than I could have.

This new base is just another money milking cow... I don't even know what I think about this.
I would prefer the encounter to remain as rare as it is, and no one finding the base :----)

How can you even check if someone has found the Solaris app tho? Do you just search for lions? What if someone found the app and DIDN'T use it :>

Item catalogue shows how many items are in game and search for lions with the base to see if an app was used .

There's currently 1 solaris king, but so far, I think 2 apps have been found.

I don’t think it is really needed honestly. More and more Solaris is being found AND the first ever bred was born yesterday. There are about 4 in the game on and it hasn’t even been out for a week, give it time.

Agreed. The drop options should be

- 100db
- Breeding Item of SIGNIFICANT VALUE (Lion Balls, Lion Meat, Buffy Balls, Gnawrock, Saltlick)
- Solaris Applicator

That's it. It is absolutely ridiculous that an encounter rarer than Interstellar would have the chance to give you such bullshit. I've spent 10 EBs, 1 Whole MP, and several roasted lambs trying to get the encounter. 30+ whole GB. And it would be a slap in the face to get a fucking Broken Drone or UAV or CRB in return.

I don't see the fuss.

Previously the encounter didn't exist, no one had a chance at solaris or the mystery breeding item

Now the encounter does exist, everyone has a chance at solaris or the mystery breeding item

So now everyone's getting an extra chance at something cool for free.If people had to pay (i.e. actually invest something) to getting this encounter, then I'd agree with the complaints, but since it's completely free, I don't really see the problem.

Imo, there's a stud up already. Easier to just throw buttermilk at studs th esp since its an oasis special so much unlimited potentially

Agreed Jax, I wasted all my roasted lambs last month trying to find interstellar and didn't find it, so I don't have any items to use this month to hunt Solaris. I've already used 15 full energy bars trying to find the encounter and haven't found it. Another player last night used 25 energy boosts and didn't find the encounter either. The drop rate for the encounter really needs to be adjusted, at least with interstellar, the encounter was super common.

I honestly think the encounter should be lowered in rarity, but the prize rarity remain the same. With that, the more common prizes won't feel like such a punch in the gut if you get them.

Or like Jax's prize suggestion, you can actually feel rewarded with those.

Pfft, still can't get over the UAV...
