Talk:000000 Gold

Finally I remembered and upped noncombats, and soon started getting those - at 3:04:30, 3:20:30, 3:24:30 (two datamited data mites in between) and 4:08:30; I had two improved computer interaction items for this (datashirt and stone nose). --XKiv 15:44, 12 October 2012 (PDT)

It seems having impeded computer interaction greatly boosts the 3rd outcome, anyone confirms? Patojonas 05:34, 13 October 2012 (PDT)

Confirmed the trend on my main, yesterday only got it twice, today there was a lot more occurrences. Patojonas 06:57, 13 October 2012 (PDT)

I tend to associate 'black gold' with politics. :P According to Wikipedia, Black Gold is also associated with Petroleum, Coal, Coffee, Black pepper, African slaves during the slave trade, Opium poppy, Compost, Blackberries, Human hair, Guinness, Marmite, Bling. It doesn't have to be oil. Also, is there some other requirement? I don't seem to be getting this at all. -Yingxiong

Well, since the adventure is about mining, the meaning is limited to natural resources, the most valuable under that name being petroleum (most common meaning of the expression as far as I know), often shortened to just oil.
That's a funny list though (Blackberries? lol)
Also you need to equip a data mining pick like it says on the Notes section to trigger this noncombat. Patojonas 18:21, 13 October 2012 (PDT)

I know, you've written that, but so far (I've done about 150 turns with the pick), the only effect the pick has had on my adventure in cyberspace is that the enemies have been harder to kill. :D I suspect there's some other mysterious requirement. -Yingxiong

increase non-combat rate? Also, while I didn't write this, I'm pretty sure that by "black gold", it's referring to oil as opposed to human hair. Cristiona 20:08, 13 October 2012 (PDT)

I think there's something else besides just wearing the pick. My main alts (-0X's) have gotten it, but my other alts haven't. (Also, unrelated, but Yingxiong, you know you can sign with --~~~~ (or clicking the second-to-last button up on the bar), right?) --hoyifung04 14:08, 14 October 2012 (PDT)

Okay, I'll try to do it! Is there something that Patojonas and your main alts have that your other alts and I don't? --Yingxiong 08:33, 15 October 2012 (PDT)

Try having at least 3 sources of noncombat, today on my main I tried reducing it and the third option was less frequent, when I added a third it started happening again :/ Patojonas 08:50, 15 October 2012 (PDT)
