Any chance it could be a number sequence or something we heard in the USB file? it just feels like the two things are connected.. not sure how.


Well just to remind, we did find this in the raw header of the WAV files from the deaddrop:
Code:
ext\Employee Terminal 838-4305174


So far there is no obvious way to use this, though.

I haven't listened to the WAV files closely enough to determine if there is other possible command/number info in the background.


I thought for a few moments that there would be a particular number sequence that we've seen that would apply to Howards formula he notes in the HELP file of the game.

So far I cannot see numbers relation to units, relating to a perfect scrore.

Again the seemingly random encounters, someone at the door, death in the middle of the night would still make the end result even with a perfect ratio random chance would it not?

I've run the sim many times but I think that's it till Wed, if we see the sim release date change maybe then it will yield something interesting?

 		Long time lurker, first time poster. How do I keep my people from dehydrating? I got a tip saying I need to guard my water supply but I am not sure how to do that. Also, has anybody had this happen in their game?

Well, in general I've found that I need approximately a 3-1 water-to-food ratio in my shelter over the long haul (i'm sure the actual math is more exact than that). When your water supplies dwindle to zero, your inhabitants will definitely dehydrate and die very quickly. My suggestion is to boost your water supplies at the beginning.

I think the 'guard water supply' is just flavor text associated with that particular crisis.

And yes, I've seen that 'outside world' message before. It sounds to me like Howard is telling us that more than 2 people in the shelter is not optimal. (with possible implications for the movie, hrmm?) I'm not an expert but all my best games have involved 2 people.

The SIM straight out tells you you'll need 5 gal water/person/day (when not rationed)…I posted a kind of guide on SIM supplies etc. 2 pages back. It might be of help: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1062333#1062333

You're going to have trouble making food/water last (no matter what you do) with more than 2 people. I think most players on the leaderboard (if not all) have been running the SIM with only one person. I've gotten into the 500's with 2 people, though one dies part way through.

Yeah, the "Whoops someone left the bunker & died" event is known. And I agree with danteIL, "guard water supply" was just part of the the verbage for the Survival Event. There's no way I've seen to actually do that.

I got that event multiple times with just 2 people and it always irritated me that it berated me about a 3rd person even tho i only had 2 to begin with.

If i had a theory on why its still programmed in, even on a 2 run, is that there will be a future event that has you actually let someone inside after a few months, he did say he was gonna tweak and change it to fine tune, a "what if" moment

 		The most I've endured so far is 127 days, my very last try. I'm enjoying the sim... Although yeah, I should probably tweak the water supplies from the start, I'm gonna try and bump these days to at least twice (running with 3 people).
I'm going to try with only 2 now, seeing as everyone seems to be on that boat. I'd probably score better in that case.

Edit: Better score now:

I don't get why they randomly die even though the stats are high. It's like they want you to fail! Haha.

 		Teddy on Survival Sim?
Hey, has anyone noticed that there is a score for a Teddy on the Survival Sim?

It says their cause of death is aquatic and oxygen deprivation. Could this be a nod to Teddy Hansen? Or do we know for a fact that this is a real person?

 		I don't trust anything at all I see on the leader boards with it so easily hackable. The PM team has to understand that by now, and with any luck they don't make people keep grinding that {I commend anyone doing it, it isn't fun to me at all} while being mislead by other people.

 		I played it for a while but it got boring.
I'm hoping that the lack of complete ARG for this movie will lead to a lot of answers in the Clover universe.

 		Same here, I also don't trust the leader board. It's kind of meta-morphosis. Because, just imagine: you script for your beloved daughter a secret sim (not in order to have fun, but in order to let her survive in the whole mess). And suddenly there are unknown players taking part in this super secret project. Spooks! Creeps!

I actually don't know, why he made a high score board at all. To cope with his daughter, like motivation training?

 		And here I thought some folks at Reddit had it all figured out with the right stats to score that high... Because those usernames at the scoreboard weren't at all recognizable!

 		Hi Everyone,
So i was having trouble getting twitter to load today and I noticed in the broken img/video on the first post that it was named "Equalizer" i will try and get a screen of it, but maybe they are truly trying to tell us something?

Has anyone tried adjusting the EQ on the satellite launch audio? At work, but will try tonight if noone gets to it first.

Edit: Maybe not... looks like it might be part of the page load itself.. wahh

 		Honda hacker says the game has been updated, and the leaderboard exploit has been fixed.

Woo! Yay, thanks PMs. Good on ya for fixing that.

Also, probably a good time to retry some of those other things we've talked about and see if anything new has been patched in! Or perhaps this is a precursor clean up in preparation for something bigger tonight?

 		So has the previous leaderboard been erased now? That's harsh for those folk who were surviving 600-700 days.
