So I've heard that the new super rare encounter with the Mysterious Stranger doesn't automatically drop the Solaris app and has a chance to drop Dry Bones...

This is simply unacceptable when Dry Bones are so common and easy to get, especially when the encounter itself has such a low drop rate. Please remove Dry Bones as a reward for the encounter so only the app reward is given.

Edit: According to Xylax's tumblr, the encounter also has the chance to drop a rare breeding item. So I'm editing this suggestion to remove the increased drop rate to just removing the db reward.

Edit 2: So the encounter, according to the wiki, gives up to 50DB, still not enough if you ask me but whatever. It also drops UAV and Human Liver. So there are several commonish rewards and 2 rare ones on a super rare encounter. At the moment, I've gone through maybe 11 energy bars and haven't encountered the mysterious stranger. The droprate seems to be as low as the Interstellar droprate and it needs to be increased if the chance of getting a common prize is higher than getting the app or the rare breeding item.

Edit 3: My hot take on this:

Remove Human Liver as a reward. Demand for it is basically non-existent. It sells for 400 SB currently if you even manage to sell it. And with three pages worth of it for sale, I don't view that as worthwhile.

Remove the Broken Drone as a reward. They give what? 20 XP and sell for like 150 SB? For a rare encounter, it's kinda weirdly placed.

Up the Dry Bones encounter to at least 100. It's a rare encounter. At least if you don't get the app or breeding item, you get *something* for finding it. 100 Dry Bones is half a Maneater stud fee, x2 Tracking Herds, x20 trains for your Adols in Vulture Chase, 1/3 of a GoP, and 1/6 of a Buff Balls.

Currently, the rewards basically give you a chance of being given junk. Not exactly making me excited to see what I get if I find the encounter.

Edit 4: Even though it's on the wiki, here's the rewards the encounter gives.
+20 Dry Bones
+UAV Search and Rescue
+40 Dry Bones
+50 Dry Bones
+Human Liver
+Solaris (app)
+Secret breeding item

Open to other people's suggestions, comment why you don't support. Though I don't see why anyone wouldn't support this.

Yeah. A punch in the gut, a slap in the face.


There's challenging and then there's just insulting. Staff needs to learn the difference.

They mystery breeding item from what I've heard is completely random,
So if its using all the breeding items in game and random using them then the rarest drop seemingly shouldn't be as rare as it is.

The encounter was increased, but me and other users are still having a hard time finding it.

I don’t think the update has resolved this completely.

The encounter is still very rare, I feel that the update only increased the chance of the encounter rate by a small amount.

It’ll still be disheartening to receive a UAV or a few DB for such a rare encounter.

Yeah, I guess this isn't going to get implemented since they didn't accept it...
It's really disappointing.

Four days since the update, and I still haven't found the encounter once. It doesn't seem like the encounter rate was raised very much.

Just got the encounter 9 days in...and it's a human liver; I'd much rather have the 50 dry bones, I'm never going to use the liver

I think it’s unacceptable that any drops aren’t rare. They were giving out GMO cows like they were out of fashion for the Tigon encounter
