Locations

I was looking at the leaderboards, and the top travelers board leaders have ~430 locations (ignoring Gyoza, since he builds streets and gets to visit them before they're open,) even though Chrome extension only lists 414, and I have 396 of those.

What are the ~20-30 locations I don't have, aren't listed? Am I missing something really fun and awesome in the game?

  • Ah, Zaphod — you're missing like the 20 best ones! (Along with some crappy ones.)

  • lol stoot ~ that was not right!     funny, but, not right   :)

    Zaphod - for some reason that someone that understands these things will have to explain to you - the greasemonkey script shows only 414 locations - and you know for yourself there are at least 405 which is the amount the leaderboard puts you as having traveled ~ my location checker shows 400/414 (yet, leaderboard shows me with 423) - and the ones not counted (on GM), are listed under 'other' - but I remember going to several of those (lol, dust bunnies and fireflies come to mind)...maybe Dave or Lord Tweedmouth will come along and help to explain.

  • Near as I can tell, some of the locations listed via the GM script may have different IDs than they used to, especially the "special" places. The script just has a list of locations, and checks (via each location's link) if you've visited there. If TS says you haven't visited, that's what the script says.

  • LOL!  Love Stoot's answer.  Unfortunately, I don't know how awesome those ~20 locations are, although I do know at least one isn't all *that* impressive.  From what I can tell (and I'm certainly not one of the super up-to-date travellers), the locations page is missing several of the newer places.  For example, Tallish Crest's subway station isn't listed, nor is 1600 block of Marrakesh Meadows.  My suggestion therefore would be to re-travel all the residential communities and see which ones have had more housing added to them.  I know Marrakesh had even more blocks added to it this past test as did a few other locations.  What I don't know is if there might be some newer streets that aren't on the list for whatever reason.

  • And I know I've visited the dust bunny and the spinach tree, and yet the location checker tells me otherwise.  Verrrry interesting.

  • It is also missing these that just opened: Navran Dissent, Pinnan Glimpse, and Vindel Frowns in Alakol. Then again, it includes Harkan Idiom, Idan Frisk, Isalan Interval, and Kolan Presence which I'm pretty sure aren't open yet.

    I also found Dyran Notion, Feman Falters, Hammar Steadies, Jadraan Fix, Marlan Bias, Motala Dun, and Stopan Winnow which look to be further extensions coming to Alakol.

  • @Marebite, @caley & @JW - 2 things:

    1) Dave and I (who have developed the location script) are limited by the information available on the individual loaction pages.  So if it's listed as "not visited", that's what we have.  If there's no indication that the street isn't available yet, we can't know to exclude it.

    2) We are trying to keep the list of locations (those that don't come with the page already) up-to-date, but it's something we have to do manually.  We're working on it.

  • Thanks for the information Stoot. If I get a subscription, will you tell me what the missing locations are?

    I assumed there were streets added to Marrakesh Meadows, as there was suddenly some of the more expensive houses available again last test. I'll have to check out the housing areas next test.


    I don't use the location script as the end all, be all list of locations, as I know I have been to some of the places listed under the special locations, and they're not marked off (And so it begins... for example, there is no way I couldn't have been there.)
