Is the Robot Cache boxes bugged? Because all I get from opening many boxes is Ores, survey probes and ammo.
Maybe the blueprints and the schematics arent turned on yet? Heard other people saying the same thing.
 
Many? How many?

I opened thousands of other strongboxes and never got rares
 
Hopefully @Socrates|Mindark can check with MA, and confirm if they are in fact bugged or not, if they are I hope players who have opened them thus far are compensated.

We are seriously thinking they are? Glad I didn't buy more then

Edit: So many Swedish IPs...

Yes I hope so too. Its not fun buying boxes expensive that doesnt contain what it is suppose to be. Happend before and I got no compensation for that.
 
I just wanna know if it is working or not turned on yet.
 
Its probably working right?

Gamble at this point.

- Waiting could increase MU when majority of boxes are opened.

- IF they do work and provide goodies.

- It could also decrease in value once info of not getting goodies get out.

- Sell now for profit, or risk it all and open.

PS: I sold mine undervalued. Still happy for the profit. 😅
 
I doubt they have schematics in them... would be beyond stupid for MA to give out more UL mining equipment especially off a free turn in.. they could produce a massive cycle event for that if they did. And I hope they don't tho for the game/economy sake. U got 2 p160s tho that's incredible 8k ped right there so big profit already $$
 
They are not bugged as far as I can see, but this is pretty much the point. There are less than 1000 of these boxes, are the odds of anything super good are akin to getting seasonal rings etc.
Thanks for the reply to the thread. Feels good.
 
A little information to clarify for those who do not know what we are talking about in this topic.
These [Robot Cache Strongbox]'s were originally part of the Easter Mayhem 2019 Event. Or rather, its experimental mining part.
Official announcement quote:
Planet Calypso – RDI Mining Event

The Research and Development Institute (RDI) is a scientific branch of the Federal Empire. The RDI’s mission is to help defeat the Robots by analyzing Robot technology and using their own tech against them. Colonists can now assist the RDI in its research by handing in Robot Data Fragments.

Once you have handed in a sufficient amount of Robot Data Fragments to an RDI representative they will assist in finding a Robot Cache Strongbox. This mission can be done repeatedly. The caches can contain rare encoded schematics which the RDI can use to build high-end tools.

Encoded CR-A Schematic - Chikara Refiner, Adjusted
Encoded CR-M Schematic - Chikara Refiner, Modified
Encoded GSE-A Schematic - Genesis Star Excavator, Adjusted
Encoded GSE-I Schematic - Genesis Star Excavator, Improved
Encoded GSE-M Schematic - Genesis Star Excavator, Modified
Encoded L1-FA Schematic - Level 1 Finder Amplifier
Encoded L2-FA Schematic - Level 2 Finder Amplifier

RDI Representatives can be found in Port Atlantis, Twin Peaks, Fort Ithaca and Minopolis.

Since 2019, only the following schematics have been discovered:
  • Encoded CR-A Schematic (Chikara Refiner, Adjusted) = 1 piece (in 2019)
  • Encoded GSE-A Schematic (Genesis Star Excavator, Adjusted) = 5 pieces (4 in 2019 and 1 in 2026)

How many boxes do you think were created in 2019 and then never created again and they found 1, we now have what Socrates said was 1000 more boxes and someone found another one. How many xmas boxes were opened do you think before the new implant was found this past xmas event? I would really be suprised if it was less then the total number of Robot boxes that are in the game atm.
