Deployed two A1 Mysterious artifacts, decrypted the coordinates, sent a unit to search location... guess what, my unit is still travelling to the coordinates after 3 days and the transmission ends at round 18254 / 18255 and it is already turn 18474....
Does this mean once the transmission ends, the event also ends and my unit that is still travelling to these coordinates will search the location and end up with nothing? And if so, it will take my unit another 3 or more days just to get back with no gain...
Please explain in more detail how these events work. Thanks. |

Ok I completely misinterpreted the event.
Secret Location - Earth
The artifact begins to transmit a repeating signal that seems to be referring to grid coordinates on the planet but it is encrypted. Decipher the numerical sequences below and order a unit to search that location.
(9 , 13 , 11 , 15 , ?) : (28 , 21 , 18 , 11 , ?)

Stage: 1 - Decipher Transmission - Ends: 18255
| Solve the numeric sequences below to obtain grid coordinates on this planet.
Send a unit to Search that location.
(9 , 13 , 11 , 15 , ?) : (28 , 21 , 18 , 11 , ?)

I thought you only needed to solve the sequence for the question mark part only and not reorder all the coordinates.
9, 13, 11, 15, 13 : 28, 21, 18, 11, 8
I thought it was just a simple pattern to solve the question mark. From left to right, every odd number was + 2 and every even was +2 on the left coordinates. Every odd number was -10 and even -10 on the right coordinates. Hence the 13 and 8. So yes I have mistaken it for a galactic location or whatever. I pasted those coordinates in view screen and they worked so I assumed I needed to go there. Thought the transmission was coming outside of the planet Earth.
Can you please solve the above, I still don’t understand how, complete newbie here.
Maybe even explain the coordinate system, there are coordinates 122070339 : 190429561 on Earth. How does this translate back to this form (x, x, x, x, x) : (x, x, x, x, x) ??? Are single digits represented as 07 or just 7.

Yes, this model only works if the player base is low. It would be a lot harder later just buying reselling as there would be competition to sell due to volumes caps so taking advantage to earn a lot of $$. A lot of time is spend looking where to buy low and sell high for quick return so have to constantly update this daily as soon as return starts dropping. |

Nvm, I think I get it, the coordinates was supposed to be 13:8 on Earth right? -_- |

I searched 13:8 and my event still triggered and got a special unit even though the transmission ended... probably should have put this in the bug thread...
It also showed the "Artifact Signal Lost" and "Unit Discovered" message at the same time. |
