One of the Lab investigations is the formula for rail steel. I’m currently engaged in prolonged activity and cannot search for myself, so: is there any source of the sample already in the game, or this is a stub for upcoming content?
Yes, I know about plans for railroad construction later on, but I’m only asking whether this particular project is already available or not.
Let’s see if there are any surprises around here! :)
Cheers! My body is sooo ready.
Lots of new stuff so far, and some more teasing of future unlocks. I’m currently looking for the Storm Bird needed for one of the new research subjects, but I haven’t encountered it yet. The Dome of Scales and Viric Jungle are still locked with the requirement for it to be April 8 and I’m suspecting it is in there somewhere. Is this intended to still be locked?
sounds fun, currently in mutton island trying to get zailors to like me for light fingers so It may be some time before I can appreciate it

I find it humorous that making Perfumed Gunpowder requires 40 piles of space bat droppings (that or actual waste produced by the Bazaar itself.)

The Dome of Scales and Viric Jungle will be released, but the scale of the content means that the update is staggered - not everything will go live at once. It’s safe to expect them in the next few hours.
I probably won’t be able to access the Viric Jungle at all. mostly because I missed out on this years Feast Content completely so I don’t have the Shared Phantasie OR a Trance Dream.
To quote Last Action Hero, it was a complete and utter balls up.

Ooh. Nice. Off to the University and the hunting in Veilgarden.
Off to the wiki to edit it! Do this too, people!
I am noticing a decent amount of usage of a totally new mechanic that didn’t exist before, which is the ability to change the value cap for a stat. Like how Favors are capped at 7, and main stats are capped at 200. This is probably related to the fact that such caps are now actually visible.
One line from one of the playbills a few months back mentioned “Reach new and giddy heights of skill and notoriety!” I’m wondering if we’ll actually see cap increases on main stats or other things.
Nah. Gameplay balance issues, ya know. For one, the "A Visit" is already so valuable.
There’s an option in hiring staff for the lab that’s unique to Nemesis.
WHOOOO. Is it for the Knifework part? Please confirm.
UPDATE: The lab has to be advanced a little before this option appears, it seems?

The Bone Market appears to have different possible cards based on having Bizarre/Dreaded/Respectable zero or non-zero, as well as at least one option requiring some level of Respectable while having zero in Dreaded/Bizarre simultaneously.
An extra slot for a BDR outfit has been requested for years so I’m a bit disappointed that these mechanics are used so heavily without any proper UI support for it. Especially on mobile it’s a giant pain to go through each slot and click every item individually to bring up its stats to find the right one.

It is. The guy who helped you with all the knifes the first time can get hired as your assistant
If you still have your coins from the mysteries, there’s an option on the Numismatrix card to ask her about it.

On a related note, one can now acquire companions with significant negative BDR stats.
I went to department of menace eradication, but I cannot find the Bone Market. And I have a lab. What am I missing?
