Auctioneers are really not there. By 2 OP i see Storages , run on Groundfloor in the Building and not upstairs.
Auctioneers are not in the Equipment building, but in the Economy building.
The service container functions were split up into three separate buildings, because it is too cluttered to run all tutorial missions for all service functions in one building.
So at ground level, there are three buildings, from left to right Social building (Storage and Event terminal), Equipment building (Trade Terminal, Storage and Repair terminals) and Economy building (Manufacturing machine, Auctioneer and Technician).
We reasoned that the old players still want everything at one place, close to the teleporter, so we placed a full set of terminals in the middle building on the top balcony (televator floor 02), just next to the teleporter. So if you're an old player, go to the top balcony and the middle building; or go to the Equipment building and take the televator to floor 02. In both cases, you have everything there. Then exit the door to the east, and you have the teleporter.
Note that the new participant starts at the teleporter at the end of the pier to the south. The first thing the new participant will see is the Immigration official, with the FPC logo above his head. That guy will give you a lot of missions that direct you to the other people, including the tutorials. We hope that this is clear enough for new participants.
2 or 3 Newbs-Quest are buggy. The People must RUN A CIRCLE on the Terminal (Storage and others) for update the Quest.
Promise, we will fix that.
Bug or "dynamic" ? By the Mining Quest Lyst and Oil - i drop 50-60 Bombes and Probes, and found only 1x a III Melchi.
Definitely dynamic.
The problem is that there are 200+ people running on Port Atlantis strip-mining the area, so it's kind of mined bare.
You can actually mine wherever you want. The mining missions do not really care where you mine. The waypoint is just a helper for the new participant to get somewhere which is not Port Atlantis.
