FICSMAS 2020 - Daily Rewards

I figured out the pool of items by using a dozen different save files...
Dec1 is always 100 presents
Dec4 is the red ornament
dec5 is the ornament bundle
dec11 is the wonderstar

The pool of items are:
100 presents
50 beryl nuts
15 bacon agaric
30 pale berries
25 copper ornaments
25 iron ornaments
25 blue ornaments
10 decorations
25 bows
30 tree branches
50 actual snow
50 snowballs
20 power shards
1 coal
200 color cartridges
10 coupons
6 superposition oscillators
1 superposition oscillator
2 quantum computers

Likely Dec25 another special prize! — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Drsnooker (talk • contribs) at 00:19, 18 Dec 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

This is great, thank you! --Ondar111 (talk) 11:21, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Last research cost

The bit about how many gifts the last tier needs in wildly inaccurate. The last step requires 500 of the Ficsmas stars, which needs 150,000 presents (plus 5,000 copper ingots, and 7,500 iron ingots), so with a single tree (at 15 per minute) it would take roughly 167 hours to generate the presents needed. That, and a lot of storage. --71.231.196.219 20:06, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

In the article, it only mentions the cost of researches up to research #10, the final research that costs 500 FICSMAS Stars is research #13 --Ondar111 (talk) 20:57, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

FICSMAS 2021 - Changes

There appear to have been changes to the gifts given out in the advent calander from last year.

• Day 1: 100 Presents.
• Day 2: 2 Quantum Computer - likely still the 'random' pool.
• Day 3: Red Ornament - earlier this year.
• Day 4: Ornament Bundle - again earlier.
• Day 5: Basic FICSMAS Skins for belts and pipes - this seems to be new.

Thanks, updated.Kwjcool321 (talk) 16:53, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Adding my list for further research of a pattern:

• Day 1: 100 Presents.
• Day 2: 1 coal - yeah seems to be the 'random' pool.
• Day 3: Red Ornament - earlier this year.
• Day 4: Ornament Bundle - again earlier.
• Day 5: Basic FICSMAS Skins for belts and pipes - not only new, but introducing another additional category in the Customiser.
• Day 6: 7x Superposition Oscillators - likely 'random' pool and added the 6 and 1 of last year together.
• Day 7: 50x Actual Snow - again likely 'random' rool.

FICSMAS Fireworks

Added basic information about Advent Calendar Day 25 Gift - FICSMAS Fireworks.

Being new to Wiki Editing, I was unsure how to properly link the text "FICSMAS Fireworks" to FICSMAS Equipment Section (#6 on Content Menu).

I could see the use of Item Link Templates but it was unclear how that "link" related to where it pointed to, that is are Item Link Templates maintained on a different Wiki Page and do I have access to it.

✓ AND SO, I need someone more knowledgable than I to add the approprioate Info Boxes (need 3) for each type of FICSMAS Firework Equipment Item and update the "FICSMAS Fireworks" place holder I added today.

Thanks.

2021 FICSMAS - Removed FICSMAS Recipe and FICSMAS Equipment

As of v0.5.1.3 - Build 174506 (External Reddit Link as the Wiki Page for v0.5.1.3 not created) the FICSMAS Recipe "Snow Mittens" along with its Product of "Snowball Pile" was removed.

The appropriate FICSMAS Equipment Section Info Boxes and Table Entries need to be updated to reflect the removal of Recipe and Equipment for 2021 FICSMAS.

Being new to Wiki Editing I am not sure how to properly do that, so I will leave it for someone more experienced than I to make that happen.

Thanks.

FICSMAS 2024 - Changes and Daily Rewards

These are the rewards I have received, hopefully I can keep this up to date:

Day 1: Day 1 data cartridge (fixed)

Day 2: 5 coupons (likely from random pool)

Day 3: Red ornament build gun trinket (fixed)

Day 4: Day 4 data cartridge (fixed)

Day 6: Basic FICSMAS Skins (fixed)

Day 8: Day 8 data cartridge (fixed)

Day 11: 50 packaged rocket fuel (random)

Day 12: "A Very Merry FICSMAS" Boombox tape (fixed)

Day 13: 50 Alien protein (assuming random)

Day 14: Day 14 data cartridge (fixed)

Day 15: 25 coupons (appears to be fixed across 3 restarts, but this seems like it should be random?)

Day 16: Premium FICSMAS Skins

Day 17: Hard drive (assuming random)

Day 18: Boombox tape: The FICSMAS-bord Leftovers (assuming fixed)

Day 19: 30 pulse nobelisk (assuming random)

Additional Comments (by others):

I got 20 power shards for day 2, so can confirm that is from a random pool. Next data cartridge (Node 7) appears to be coming on Day 8. Iaeen (talk) 20:33, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Edited Striek's comment. Added Day 14 FICSMAS Data Cartridge based in recent edits for FICSMAS Calendar which were based on other recent edits for FICSMAS Items. Temporal Illusion (talk) 16:36, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

200 Screws is not fixed. I got that on day 11. That also means that the premium skins aren't a fixed reward for day 11. I suspect they are fixed, just on a different day.

Color Cartridges still being in the list of random rewards seems unlikely too, since they're removed from the game.BrucePodger (talk) 00:22, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

This change is listed under "Seasonal Changes": "The rocket on the Launch Pod button is changed into a gift-filled sleigh." I don't see that in my save; is this a rare easter egg (anyone got a screenshot?), something removed again in a later patch, or just someone adding incorrect information?BrucePodger (talk) 01:01, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I haven't seen that either, at least not on the HUB launch pod. Perhaps they were referring to the Elevator launch button?

Day 12 gave me a new Boombox tape "A Very Merry Ficsmas". Don't know if fixed or random. I suspect fixed since we're half-way through the calendar and it hasn't been added yet. BrucePodger (talk) 00:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Interesting, reloading the game gives me the same results. I got 50 rocket fuel for day 11 across three reloads. So I assume the random elements are random per player, but that the calendar itself is fixed once loaded into the game for the first time. Striek (talk) 00:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Per player randomness seems to be the case - Edit: Actually no, it seems to be exiting the game completely (did you just reload a save without reloading the whole game when testing?). I just tried reloading a save from the 10th (it's the 12th here) and re-opened days 11 and 12. I got the same rewards as before (screws for day 10 and the new boombox tape for day 12). I suspect the boombox tape might be fixed (since we've not got it on the list yet), but since reloads don't seem to be valid test for fixed/random it'd need someone else to confirm so it can be added to the correct table. BrucePodger (talk) 00:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Experimenting with an old save got me different results. However it seems that the key to a different random result isn't the player or the save. It's exiting the game completely, rather than just reloading the save. In this case I got:

Day 1 - Data Cartridge (fixed)

Day 2 - 200 screws (random)

Day 3 - Red Ornament Trinket (fixed)

Day 4 - Data Cartridge (fixed)

Day 5 - 1 Hard Drive (random)

Day 6 - Basic FICSMAS skins (fixed)

Day 7 - 20 Power Shards (random)

Day 8 - Data Cartridge

Day 9 - 30 Pulse? Gas? Nobelisks, not sure which(random)

Day 10 - FICSMAS hat (I think we can confirm this one is "Fixed" now)

Day 11 - 10 Medicinal Inhalers (random)

Day 12 - "A Very Merry FICSMAS" boombox tape (This does seem to be "Fixed", I've gotten this on both my saves).

BrucePodger (talk) 01:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Re-edited Striek's comment for clarity. Updated list of days with fixed rewards along with adding "fixed" for Day 10. Temporal Illusion (talk) 15:56, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

The Day 15 reward of 25 FICSIT Coupons was in previous years a Random Reward. I suspect 2024 is no different. Temporal Illusion (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

The Day 25 reward of the FICSMAS Fireworks has an accompanying ADA Message as follows:

"Turning explosives into a 'recreational activity' is exactly the kind of attitude that lead humanity to its doom. By all means, have fun. I certainly will, now that we are finally close to the end of this... Event."

Temporal Illusion (talk) 15:41, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

OK to remove the "outdated" tags now?

I've updated the calendar items to remove items no longer given and added in a couple of random rewards which were missing. Is there any other reason to keep the "outdated" tags? Or can they be removed now? BrucePodger (talk) 13:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

I have removed the outdated notice from FICSMAS Wiki Page due to most FICSMAS changes and additions have been posted. Further edits might be done but it looks good now. Temporal Illusion (talk) 19:21, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

FICSMAS 2025 - Changes

The advent calendar rewards seem to have changed slightly again. Today I got a parachute, which wasn't previously in the list of rewards. Have any other additions been observed? (I'm presuming it'll take more time to be sure what has been removed) BrucePodger (talk) 16:53, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
