Quoted from LTG:

One of a kind, someone made it for their own game from beer signs.

In a prototype game, they interfered with the wireform and balls and were dropped from production. Not available. ( unless the mod people figure something out )
LTG : )

Quoted from Viggin900:

I made them from lighted bubbling beer signs and some modification. Very light plastic. Looking to make something for in between at some point.[quoted image]

Quoted from Viggin900:

Ebay or etsy. Good luck finding a pair. There are other vintage bubble beer advertising that may work. I'd like to see what you come up with. They look great on top!

Quoted from Aniraf:

Yeah, totally...he has been a huge help for me. I post here just to get peer information before I tap AP's resources. I'll let you guys know if it turns into something bigger .
Thanks!

Quoted from Aniraf:

Here is what the bar door issue looks like if anyone needs comparison. I emailed Barry already so I am sure I will get it fixed.

Quoted from Aniraf:

Haha, maybe my post fixed it.

Quoted from Paul_from_Gilroy:

Doesn't sound crazy. There have been times when I'm working through a mode and I wished I was still earning TENT letters. In fact, for me, that might be more in line with "expected behavior".

Quoted from pinballslave:

If you get enough of the beers that make spelling tent easier (don't recall what beer this is, but it's the one that's linked with the Juggler mode) then you'll light the tent for mode start easily enough anyway...

Quoted from pinballslave:

I always go for making tent easier to spell first, then I'm torn between making outlane saves easier and more time in tents... more tilt warnings also ranks high, then probably making Oktoberfest easier to spell... Stein selection for me is always based on the generic game benefit not on modes, the modes I pick are generally guided by what Steins I've got already... unless a multiball is ready to start, then I'll pick a mode that requires a lot of hits, like Fud Frenzy, and go for starting the MB to stack it with that mode...

Quoted from pinballslave:

So the more ducks you have the more points you get in bumpers mode?

Not sure I follow this one... you mean by selecting the Stein that allows you to spell Oktoberfest easier you get to lock balls easier (in the Corkscrew)?

Quoted from Ferret:

Ducks do indeed increase the scoring of tent modes. It's not a straight multiplier in the same way that the stein/tent pairings are... as a very rough rule of thumb, playing a tent with 20 ducks will score about double the points of playing that tent with 0 ducks, all else being equal (same steins and shots made).

Quoted from Ferret:

Yep. Pretty much any tent mode can be worth mongo points with enough ducks. Also, remember that winning a tent mode gives ducks too -- 5 + 5 for each additional tent won on the same ball. So basically a feedback loop: doing well makes it easier to do even better.

Calories from the Food Stand serve the same purpose of boosting multiball (Corkscrew, Beer Barrel) scoring, that ducks do for tent modes. And yes, you've also got the steins for increasing scoring for those two multiballs.

Y'know, there are so many viable strategies on the game, that I change it up with some frequency. I'll often start with Frosty Ferret, because 1) hey, that's my stein and 2) it pairs with Duck Hunt, which gives additional ducks while you're playing it, and isn't too hard to win for the +5 duck bonus. So I hope to come out of Duck Hunt with a dozen or more ducks, which sets me up nicely for better scoring on future tents. It's tempting to also take Abby Nirmal Cider ("Easier to get ducks"), but that pairs with the Bumper Cars tent, and I usually try to defer that until I have a multiball ready, so I usually don't grab that stein until I've locked a ball or two. Engler Pale Ale (more tent time + Chugging) is often my next choice, although I also like Ish Pale Ale (easier to collect steins + Sky Slide). Sky Slide isn't too hard a tent to win... so now if I've got a couple tent wins on the same ball, I'm eyeing Reclab Redrum Stout (more bonus X + Stein Race) because the Tent Win Bonus is multipliable and can get very juicy. You'll note that I haven't really mentioned multiball to this point... I find that the PROST and OKTOBER FEST targets kinda take care of themselves from random bounces... when I'm getting close to having locks lit, I'll definitely do a couple spinner rips if needed to open the Food Stand and get a food feature running to get some calories. (And if you're doing that, might as well visit the Rockin' Express tent at the same time...) By design, the even numbered food features are the lucrative ones, so if you want nice multiball values, you sorta have to survive the first Food Stand to reach the second, or survive the third to reach the fourth. If I've gotten good calories and have locks lit or nearly so, for sure I'll take Freak Show Rooster and/or Frosty Ferret to amp the respective multiballs. Through all of this, one important thing to remember is that you can take multiples of the same stein... have you really crushed some tent modes and therefore have a serious Tent Win Bonus? By all means, take some extra Reclab steins to crank the bonus X even higher. Same idea with the Freak Show and Frosty Ferret steins if you have lots of calories.
But all that is my answer right now. Ask me again in a month and I'll probably say something different.

Quoted from Ferret:

I'm so happy that you love the game!
I rarely post pass on Oktoberfest, because the tent scoop serves that need for me... if I have the ball on the right flipper but I want it on the left, I shoot the scoop, and let it eject and dead-bounce to the left flipper. If I have the ball on the left flipper but want it on the right, I shoot the scoop and drop-catch the eject on the right flipper. This works great since the scoop spots T-E-N-T letters (unless you're already playing a tent mode) so these passes also give me progress towards the next tent mode start.
But certainly reaching Flipper Meister or Stein Slinging is not easy to do... which is why we have intermediate goals like Duck Derby.

Quoted from pinballslave:

And as a rule of thumb, does the next 20 double the tent mode scoring again, or will it increase it by about 50% compared to the first 20? I.e. if 100 points goes to 200 after 20 ducks, does it go to 400 after 40 ducks or 300... (50% more than 200) roughly...?

Quoted from Ferret:

Every tent has slightly different behavior on how scoring increases with more ducks, because we had to balance the scoring of modes with lots of potential shots (e.g. Fud Frenzy, Bumper Cars) vs modes with few shots. And I just realized I misspoke in my previous comment: it's actually that WINNING a tent with 20 ducks scores ~2x WINNING that tent with 0 ducks, based on Medium difficulty, all else being equal.
But the scaling due to ducks is linear, not exponential.
In the end, don't overthink it too much: "More Ducks = More Points" is the key takeaway.

Actually, in normal use, duck targets are inactive until you complete the set of duck targets. The "can't repeat the previous target" rule applies during Duck Hunt.

Quoted from pinballslave:

I can answer this one 'cos I asked it before... it's free... furthermore, when the game is going to give you a free mag-nab you can't actually use the mag-nab button... I.e. you can't waste them by using them when you don't need to.

Quoted from pinballslave:

For some reason I struggle to do post passes with this game more than other games.... it normally needs a failed post pass to result in the ball rolling back down the flipper and to then do a 2nd post pass flip when the ball's about 1/4" before it hits the return lane guide... an attempted post pass from a stationary cradled ball usually fails...

Quoted from Ferret:

As soon as you complete the four duck targets, they all unlight so you can immediately start collecting them again, and Mystery immediately lights on the scoop, and Bonus X is increased.

True... unless you hit the High Striker immediately after a left orbit shot. (i.e. Left Orbit -> High Striker combo) That always gives a MagNab even if not lit.

PinballSlave is correct.

No worries at all, I'm happy to talk about the game!

Quoted from Ferret:

Oh, and my (legit) high score is around 45 million... a mere shadow of some of the boss scores I've seen. I believe Joshua Henderson posted a score approaching 700M!

Quoted from Ferret:

For mid-level scores (double-digit millions) either tents or multiballs can get you there.
For monster scores, I think absolutely the way to go is crushing tent modes. Tent Win Bonus can become very, very lucrative if you win several tents on the same ball. Never start a multiball without starting a tent first, and spend the first part of the multiball using your balls to win and then run up the score of the tent. The multiball jackpots will be waiting for you when the tent times out.
Also, here's a random tip for boosting multiball scores: start a Food Stand mode, then start Juggling. Pay no attention to the Juggling shots -- in fact, avoid them as much as possible -- and use the multiball to rack up calories. As I mentioned earlier, the even numbered Food Stand features are the juicy ones, so for example if you can start the second Food Stand feature and then stack Juggling, keep throwing the balls into the pops and try to rack up as many calories as you can. That'll position you well for big scoring in Corkscrew and Beer Barrel MBs.
But certainly there are lots of strategies for big scores in this game, and I'd love to hear any other approaches y'all discover!

Quoted from rosh:

There is no EOS on upper flipper, not needed.

Quoted from E_Gpinball:

A fast moving ball could rattle on the habitrail, hit the metal guide that feeds the barrel, and then bounce into the spot between the habitrail and side ramp.
Second update on the ball deflector I am working on... I did another test fit on my revised part and I am getting very close. I just need to make another quick revision to it and it should be good to go. I will keep you posted.
