Have you read up on this?
Have you used the "Key Posts" in this thread? The difference is merely cosmetic as you have to choose most of your add ones yourself. I'm not trying to be a shit, but read up you'll find out all the info if you try even a little bit.

Also, you can't buy one, you don't get to choose. You can only buy someone else's spot as they sold out a year ago.

I think dimensions can be randomized by linking them to a ramp or horse shoe switch, like the modes IJ.
I really like the way it works.

Its a bit of programming but very doable.

There are 2 versions, a Blood Suckers Edition (BSE) and Standard. All BSE pins will be built first. The only real difference is purple trim and legs on the BSE with cool armor around the flippers. They are making 750 of these... all but 50 or so are BSE. All are sold. They have made about 1/2 of them so far. Pictures/breakdown available here:

I agree with this. This is a major portion of code that might never be seen especially with the chancy nature of my garage shot.

Well, only be searching key posts on this topic... otherwise, no... I was using this club thread as a source of information.

Yes... key post 510 'R&M options' was the only one I saw that might explain things, but it turns out it was a list of options... scrolling up and down from there didn't shed any light on things...

I tried a bit more than a little bit, but drew blanks...

Anyway, since then another member has PMd me with the info I was looking for... so I'm good-to-go now

Understood. I need to get hold of distro's I know who usually stock up on these...

I believe you're not trying.

Cheeks Sorry to hear that. From everything I have read, Spooky is an awesome company who will make sure that thing is perfect. I hope they deliver great service for you. On the upside, the game is really a ton of fun. Hard as hell as some others have alluded to though. I have read every post on this thread and it seems that some of the modifications people have made initially to get the play a bit more refined have found their way into the later edition machines. While I cringe at having to hit the garage consistently, I do find that I get better every game...But hell my high score after about 2 dozen games is 6 Million....So a lot of ground to still cover. Best of luck getting it fixed.

You guys are killing me. The dimensions ARE randomized.
You start with a RANDOM feature dimension, then a RANDOM positive dimension, then a RANDOM negative dimension.
There are a *FEW* held out of the first THREE dimensions because they make things significantly harder to play. Period.

The dimensions are just seasoning. Switching things up. Adding in the chaos of the R&M universe. They are not a "major portion" of the code or the rules, really. You get the megaseeds in EVERY dimension, which *IS* the major bit. That's why you want to change dimensions.

Blood Sucker editions are going to be the vast majority. That option added $550 to the price. Spooky said those would be made first, so most buyers opted for it. Probably less than 75 standards out there at the end of the day. BSE has purple speaker panel, legs, lockdown, hinges and side rails. BSE are also individually numbered with a plaque on the speaker panel.

So, for clarity, once you've done the first 3 dimensions (one of each), then ALL dimensions are randomised, but in 3 groups: feature, positive, negative, in that order...

Correct?

Anyone else click on that ad at the bottom of the page for the fart start button?

If you do, check out the overhead shot. Looks like they might be able to make a ball fondler mod with it as well.

You're killing it, Eric. Please ignore us pontificating pinheads.

Yes. The category rotation continues, but the choices within the category are random. Also, it will not repeat any dimension from any category within the same game until you've done them all.

So with that in mind, it means there are an equal number of dimensions for each category...

It does not. We try to keep them similar amounts, but they're not exact. But each category resets on it's own.

#317 has arrived undamaged!

I bought it to place in a local arcade.

The arcade is in bankruptcy due to covid.

I guess ill just sit on it for now...

I can see strategy being planning to align the positive dimension when you begin an adventure for more point possibilities.

This dimension thing - all I know is that I see the same ones all the time too and I’ve progressed past three or more. I would also like to see them be more random if the case is they are random now. At least give us the option

I don’t care about pinball scores or tournaments

One option is to play better and try to get to 4+ dimensions, then you will have full randomness.

they aren't random if we only see the same 3-4 dimension and nothing else. How is that random?

Another option, much easier, is to offer the option to truly randomize. Not sure why the people that care about scores think they have to then restrict people like me, who think folks who care about scores is embarrassing.

Just offer the option. Move on

I see fart and scream dimension most often.

Whoa.

Thats too bad...

I agree completely.

For those who own(ed) TnA, it would be similar to alternating the music instead of having each track tied to a specific reactor. The payoff on that pin was being able to hear the next cool track and associated lighting effects as you destroyed reactors...each track creating a little more excitement/tension as you progressed.

R&M is kicking my ass in 3 days of ownership, but when I am able to progress to additional dimensions, it seems more rewarding since it is a new experience. I have something to chase...and it keeps me repeatedly pushing the start button.

Just set your game to 5 balls or 10 balls or whatever you need to see it all and be happy, and move on.

How about a "making gazorpazorp" mode?

Loop some shots to get morty's new mate Gwendolyn back home. Then 30s no drain multiball where the player just nails the scoop for jackpots (somewhat similar to electric chair from tftc) - increased jackpot for each ball in play on field, but watch out for your stamina and charge the spinner to prevent premature eja... er end of the multiball.

The clips from that episode seem worth the effort... not to mention the neat effects you could probably do with the shaker!

(sorry @epthegeek, I know you must be sick of people throwing out ideas for modes)

It was just some lighthearted humor. Not serious.

Besides dimension types don’t have anything to do with scores.

I know right! I’m really upset about the whole situation! Oh well I’m sure in time I will get over it.. Until then bring on the screams and farts!

To play the same dimensions over and over seems odd or unbalanced and makes for boring game play.

On the surface the game looks like it has a lot to offer!

Maybe future code updates will address this?

Fart. Scream. Underwater. TNA.
Rinse. Repeat.
I suck. Play better.
Drink More. ***Burp***

Awww geeez

There are, you know... adventures.

Other dimensions pop up quite often,you get all those ones with the glitchy/remix sounds, like pop deactivated, super spinner, left side triple, family targets triple... Plenty come up, don't know what you guys are on about.....plus the other ones mentioned, what other game has so many dimensions lol

Sounds to me like the adjustment is already there for anyone whom needs it, as already suggested, set the machine to 10 ball games... solved!

Not having the pleasure to play this game... when you enter a new dimension, is the ball in the subway or trapped somewhere else at this moment?

If so, there could be the option to choose which dimension, from all those available for a specific category, you play... I realise that idea is going to wind some people up, but, if it's there as an adjustment in the settings, some might love it... more code needed than just simply truly randomising of course. Just a thought...

What happens is that there is a staged ball in a trough directly above the left inlane. When a ball goes in the garage the staged ball is immediately popped out into the inlane, a teleport effect. Bait and switch. While you play with the staged ball now, the ball that went into the portal/garage runs down the subway and becomes the new staged ball.

Understood. So the suggestion of 'pausing' the game for the player to choose a dimension is possible, but will remove the 'teleportation' effect of having the staged ball shoot out as soon as the ball enters the garage... bad for game flow, but as a settings option for anyone happy to sacrifice that for the ability to select a dimension, could be desirable for some...

Well then, maybe the "random" selection could be random BUT NOT the dimension of that class that was played last. So it always has a different dimension from the last game played. It would force it to mix it up a bit more consistently.

Two propulsive ends of the same dimension.

Wow, people are really hung up on the dimensions :p play better, set the game easier, or just enjoying discovering more dimensions as you achieve the progress

596 here, will probably be waiting couple more months.. just hoping to solve the f***ing tax eu imposed on pinball machines from america..grr

Yep, more than dimensions, I’d rather welcome a few additional types of mystery awards.

. Once the reset bugs are worked out, it will be 100% killer.

Yes this is correct, but when????

Lost power to right side flippers and sling this morning when I was testing vireland's coil cooling fans. I was hammering on the right flipper button and then no power. Anyone know where the fuses are located?

Speaking of dimensions, Eric or Scott could we please normalize that one scream that’s louder than all the other screams in the scream dimension?
We run our game at a fun/loud volume and that one scream’s extra decibels hit harsh at the louder levels. THX!

There is literally only one scream in the scream dimension. "The Wilhelm Scream". Any additional SFX must be coming from the player.

Just want to report that I have had ZERO freeze ups, lock ups, resets... or, or whatever (Rick voice).

I'm one week in on ownership (picked up #313 on 11/11) and I have 200+ games in on it.

This game is amazing! I have GNR too and this game is getting most all my attention. I've only played GNR a handful of times since I got RM.
Not bashing GNR by any means.... I love GNR too and it is also an amazing game but the game play is so additive on RM compared to GNR. I've had GNR since 10/16 and it only has right around 300 games on it. I'll probably blow pass that amount of games on RM after this weekend.

Besides the 2 front legs and right lower flipper issue that I posted no other issues (at all) and I have made no adjustments. Oh sorry, forgot I turned down the subwoofer to reduce rattle.... but it plays perfect and all shots are good straight out of the box.

Groups of us playing our machine have all heard the louder one, not just me drinking by myself lol. I was wondering how one could be louder if it was just programmed to sub 1 audio file for all switches, because it doesn’t occur from one particular switch, but it’s like every X amount of screams we get one that’s way louder. I don’t understand it we just hear it, maybe our game is ‘special’

I bought my machine without them as well. I just gave Spooky a call and paid and had mine within the week and boy what a difference it makes too!

You probably got an extra ball/free game. It’s a louder scream.

The only way to solve it is to pay it... or have you found a loop-hole? Yes, it's buggering buying pins from the US!! Maybe Dutch Pinball will survive the TBL fiasco and become a major European supplier!
