Station VIII

As expected, Mr Spices is also completely useless, but interesting nonetheless. It’s also become my favorite victim in the Neath. I so love to mess with Mr Spices whenever I get the chance. Delicious!

Now to wait for Mr Fires…

And now you can finally deal with Fires and Furnace.

I mean, I’m not entirely thrilled, as Cover Identities are incredibly confusing to me, and I’m still way behind on preparing dishes, but I’m sure I can work towards on of the options in the upcoming weeks . . . here’s hoping the story with Furnace isn’t needed to be completed in order to build the next station, though.

Edit: I don’t think it helps I find both the antithesis of fun, so being forced to work out how - especially the former - they work and then grinding out that to progress . . . it may be just me, but it leaves me pretty miffed after this long a wait with stations and the overall storyline, as it’s a big hurdle to progress the story that I was dying to see how it’d conclude.

You must resolve matters with Furnace to end the work stoppage and get to Burrow-Infra-Mump.

What will happen if you mess with the bone duplicator with her?

Thankfully the identity you need only takes like, three clicks. No items needed.

And you get a doubled skull from the bone duplicator.

And if you try to rectify her skull?

So, if I abandon the search for deer femurs so I can feed Wines, and deal with Fires instead, will I ever see Wines again to feed him the … thing I can’t make yet?

The wiki says the identity requires Ties 3 and Elaboration 2. I mean, if takes three clicks, fair enough, but I thought each one would take multiple clicks and multiple rounds/grinding? Just I can’t find how to make Ties at all.

My kitchen doesn’t offer me the option to make the needed dish at all (do I need Toxicology and Femurs before it’ll appear)?

I’m just stuck with options I can’t click, and the game itself offers no clues how to proceed, so I’m sort of scrambling back and forth (wasting actions) and scouring the wiki, and trying to infer from this post, and . . . incredibly frustrated, I admit ^_^()

You need ties to the underclasses, which sets the value to 3. That’s only one click. Then click on an elaboration option twice, and you are done.
I think the underclasses does cost an urchin favour come to think of it. But elaboration is free.

And yes, you can bring wines back the same way you did the first time. I believe rectify is a healing option.

. . . it’s not one click when you apparently need to move your cabinet from level 3 to 4 to achieve that, which is I think the issue.

It seems like that still might be more doable than the meal option, so I’ll try that.

I mean, I do wish the game was clearer at times with how to proceed, as I’m not sure I’d ever have been able to work any of this out without your comment here and the wiki to cross-check with, but . . . oh well, least there are forums, which is a huge help.

Thank you.

Ah, yeah that would be the problem. Good luck.

I believe you need to make its precursor, the pickle thing, first. And you’re right about these grinds not being particularly entertaining.

I just always max out whatever the new buildings are when I get to an area, since that always determines longterm capabilities and options. The Femur of a Surface Deer thing is fairly annoying though.

There’s now an option in balmoral. The dumbwaiter gives you 25 of them.

I really liked when you give the ultimate wine to Mister Wines.

You mean Curatorial COcktail?

That’s the one. The dialogue was delightful to read.

Thanks for the note about the dumbwaiter! That’s valuable info!

Just as I finish my cover identity, there seems to either be an option I missed, or a new one, which only requires 4 Investigating. I can’t say enough how immensely happy I am to see that.
