I finally decided to unveil the mysteries of [REDACTED] by using those special codes in Z. I've done it before but pitifully unprepared, so this time I built my cogmind with this in mind getting lots of [REDACTED] to deal with all those damn [REDACTED].
The thing is the dude with the required codes was totally missing from Z! I wasted a few thousand turns wandering around in vain trying to find him but eventually gave up on the whole idea and left. It's been a while since I've done a Z run (I've been trying out hacking builds lately and felt the attrition in the caves wasn't worth it knowing that I wouldn't get [REDACTED] there) but as far as I recall the codes were always available in every run I've visited Z.
So the question... Is it possible that the codes in this run where just simply unavailable in Z due to RNG? Or did I miss something? Or is this a possible bug? It was a little disappointing spending my run carefully preparing to face all those damn [REDACTED] but having no way to access it.
I'm still not finished with my run but can supply the map seed when I do if that helps.
I'm asking because I'm not sure I'd bother trying specifically for that goal again if the codes aren't a sure thing...
