Quoted from 27dnast:

Right, but an announcement on the screen really should be a callout. An excited callout when you pick up the item... a callout when you use the item. Would give it more of a vibe, but would actually make everything make more sense. As it sits, these are fairly major to the game, but their existence and use minimally acknowledged.

Quoted from Silkenone:

Can I ask a favour please? Could simeone take a pic of the screw which fastens the tower to the wall?
There is one in the images for this thread - just want to double check that mine is wrong!

Quoted from dnapac:

Eventually Spooky has to move on. ACNC is an incredible pin and the latest code really has elevated it. I hope for one more polish to the code, but I’m very happy with what they have given us. Yup, their attention has turned to R&M...completely expected. BTW, I did purchase the green black widow armor that Luke and Bug did. It looks awesome! I’ll post pics tomorrow. Yes it’s expensive and not for everyone, but neither is the butter cab....but I have that too and love it!

Quoted from superhawk2300:

Noooooooo...... So I'm on the latest code and there still is the bug where if there is a crypt ball locked and you are trying to find Cold Ethyl and you start crypt multiball its like you hit the monster select target and you lose your progress on CE and now you are looking for Igor.
That has *not* been fixed yet, right?
Minor bugs are one thing, but this wasn't a problem until a code update brought it into being and its a major bug. They can't possibly just leave that like that can they? I don't mind some cosmetic rough edges that never get ironed out, but this is something they broke in an update and it remains broke.
I find this pretty unacceptable. This isn't normal in the world of boutique pinball is it?

Quoted from MintIndeed:

TLDR version of this post:
- I saw/counted the same rubbers as Crile1, except he found 1 more 3/8" than I did. I would use his counts if I needed to order rubbers today.
- KingPinGames seemed to have some more precise ring sizes for the larger rings, but the counts don't add up and he is most definitely missing some rubbers in his list. It's difficult to say whether the ring sizes he suggests are right, and how many are needed, and where they go, without disassembling the game to measure all the rings.
- I'm really annoyed at all the discrepancies, so I'm placing a Titan order for my/Crile1's rubbers PLUS some of the additional sizes listed by KingPinGames to get to the bottom of this. I plan to document location and measure when I remove, and post "my" version of the list.
I'm about 99% sure the actual rubbers are:

...but I'm going to order the extra rubbers just in case.
I'm just worried that I somehow missed a post or ring somewhere hidden, so I'm posting everywhere I looked and what I found.
Here are the places on the playfield where I spotted rubbers (verified by my wife) (boy that's an awkward statement):

Crile1 weighs in at 32 rubbers
(actually 29, but he didn't list the flipper rubbers so 29 + 3 flippers = 32)
I am pretty sure Spooky Luke used this when he sent the rubbers list to Silkenone. Luke's list was even typed the same way Crile1's Post-It was written.

KingPinGames and the manual weigh in at 29 rubbers

My numbers, weighing in at 31 rubbers

So let's look at it another way: by location.

This leaves the following unaccounted for:
Crile1

KingPinGames

Me

So this matrix ends up with 43 rubbers accounted for (there is some overlap and duplication):

So 43 rubbers possibly accounted for, and somewhere between 29-32 rubbers counted in the playfield (29, 31, 32).
I am going to order all 43 and see what I end up with left over. That's approximately 10-14 rubbers too many, but who knows which ones are wrong.
Is there a rubber I missed??

FYI this is the level of deconstruction you should be prepared for if you’re doing a full rubber swap! Necessary to get the heavily hit bumper post between Light Mystery and Change Monster Mode.

Quoted from dnapac:

Whoa! I didn’t need to do anything like that to change that rubber.

Quoted from MintIndeed:

Really? Amongst other things, I couldn't find any other way to get underneath the upper playfield to replace the post sleeve and rings, or to get to the post sleeve on the left side of the right ramp.
As far as I could tell, to be able to swap the two rings and the two post sleeves pictured required being able to lift the plastic at the front of the upper playfield assembly, and to be able to lift it high enough to get those tings off required removal. Couldn't find any way to remove it without doing everything pictured in my first post.
If there's another way, I'd be glad to hear it!

Quoted from MintIndeed:

Also wanted to clarify - I'm doing a full_ rubber swap, not just that bumper. That said, I found I had to unscrew both ramps, guillotine ramp, remove a bunch of castle elements, and loosen up the upper playfield enough to pivot and tilt it to be able to get to all the rubbers. Literally can't see any way to reach some of the rubbers otherwise.

Quoted from MintIndeed:

OK! I measured and replaced every rubber I could find on the machine and have, I believe, the definitive list of rubbers needed for this game.

On my game, the 5 post sleeves on the lower play field and the 2" ring on the left side of the lower playfield got the highest amount of wear. Those 6 rubbers were practically worn through, while all the others were basically brand new (minus some discolouration from the ball). If you're looking for minimum replacement, this is it.
Regarding the 2x 1/2” Sleeve/Spacer (optional) - these are on the lower playfield underneath the two middle rubbers. Titan's 1/2" Data East Post Sleeves should work here. They don't get any wear, but just in case you really need more colour.
Replacing the rubbers on this game is not for the faint of heart. If you're doing a minimal replacement just for worn rubbers, you still have quite a lot to remove (and/or some tricky manoeuvers). If you're doing a full swap, you have to take apart a lot of the playfield to get to everything.
Pro tip: When replacing the 1-1/2" ring on the lower playfield between Light Mystery and Secret Passage, you should unscrew both metal guides next to the rubber, then screw them back in after fitting the new rubber in place. Same with the metal guide next to the 3/4" ring near the right orbit. Otherwise, I can pretty much guarantee the metal guides will slice right through your rubber.

Stupid question, but where do you see the newest code for ACNC?

Quoted from zacaj:

I always figured that was intentional to prevent you getting a free lock from cold ethyl

Quoted from Coyote:

No, I have it happen QUITE often.
In fact, I don't think it's intentional, as I've had it happen a few times when I WAS NOT ON Ethyl.

Quoted from Mr_Outlane:

I did a full Titan install (all rubbers) and did not have to remove all of those parts. But it's been too long to recall the procedure now.

Quoted from scruffypinball:

I put a stern thick post rubber there. Won’t have to worry about it for thousands of plays

Quoted from Jakers:

My spinner rejects the ball about half the time I make a clean shot to it. It's because the spinner comes to a rest at a very low angle, making the ball bounce off the bottom edge a lot of the time. The spinner spins very freely and I've lubed it up as well.
We all know this game is not the cleanest shooter so I definitely don't need the spinner rejecting clean shots to the left orbit. Has anyone figured out a way to make the spinner rest at more of a vertical angle? It's almost like mine is not weighted enough at the bottom.

Quoted from superhawk2300:

So while we are talking about this travesty of that post rubber that is totally destroyed because that is a high traffic area...
Anyone have any thoughts on *NOT* having a post there at all.
The post is directly in front of the edge of the scoop.
I'm guessing just pulling that post will result in the eventual destruction of the scoop and metal bits everywhere gumming up the mechanicals of the machine.
Is there a way to yank that post and turn the scoop a little so the edge of the scoop is behind the left-most target?
Is there a bigger scoop to put on so the edge of the scoop is behind the target?
Is there a bigger target that can be put on the left-most target so it covers the edge of the existing scoop?
In short, is there anyway to eliminate the post and make it work so shots that used to hit the post do 1 of 2 things; hit the target or enter the scoop?
I've been thinking about this for 6 months now...

Quoted from jitneystand1:

Mine was exactly like this, I thought it was the weighting of the spinner too but it's fixable. Get a ball out, bend the bracket up (or down) a bit, test by throwing a ball through. Repeat until you get it right. It's 5 to 15 minutes well spent as it's a fun spinner to rip when it's sitting right.

Quoted from Mr_Outlane:

I've been having trouble with my lower flippers being weak. I have them cranked all the way up to 50 (max) in settings. Still often fail the ramp shots on both sides especially the left ramp even with a solid shot. Pitch is only at about 6.9. I measured the line voltage at 123V. WTF? There hasn't been enough plays on this game to have worn out the flipper mechs yet. Time to tear shit apart and inspect! Didn't expect to have to do this to flipper mechs with roughly a couple thousand plays.

Quoted from Gnrwarkfc:

Actually in regards to the spinner it’s not particularly integrated into the game yet correct? Hopefully that will happen at some point.

Quoted from zacaj:

I don't think it's used anywhere besides insect creature mode right now? There used to be a super spinner mode but I think it got removed at some point...

Quoted from Gnrwarkfc:

Seems to be to be a perfect area for maybe another mode later. Same with the orbits. For a game that hitting the orbits is so important I’m surprised there isn’t a mode that’s all about the orbits.

Quoted from Gnrwarkfc:

Sorry to just now be commenting on this but what is everyone’s suggestions on what to increase the main flipper strength? I increased it from 40 to 43 and it is different. What in your opinion is the best. Hoping to increase the accuracy of the orbits, starting secret passage from left flipper, and noting crypt from the right flipper (backhanding both.). Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Quoted from zacaj:

I maximized both the main flippers. Didn't seem much faster, but it shot better

Quoted from Gnrwarkfc:

So as far as they’d go?
