Author Topic:   Hidden Data (#2 of 2)

After I grab my 3rd or 4th artifact, it's always a question of "Now just _where_ do I have an unlinked Network Node?"
The Base Control Screen only shows whether or not I have a Network Node, not whether it's linked or not.
Am I _really_ supposed to make a pencil&paper list? ;P

When the artifact is active, press g (might be shift-g, I forget). You get a list of all bases, with distances. The rightmost column will say "Unlinked node" for bases with network nodes that haven't been linked.

Hmmm...
<Shift>&<G> sends the artifact to the nearest base.
<G> gives me a list of bases on the continent, but no "Unlinked Node" notation.
(Before you ask, all the bases had Nodes and all but one of the bases offered to link the artifact once I got it there

What resolution are you using? From what I've read, the "Unlinked Node" notation can disappear due to insufficient screen space if you reduce the resolution.
