Taking anything will result in Ariral reputation loss, but leaving food and shrimp packets will result in Ariral reputation gain. There is a picnic-themed rug, two empty picnic baskets, various junk such as empty Ariral soda cans and empty shrimp trays, and two toy Warp Arrows. They stay for at least 24 hours and may stay up to 48 hours.
Arirals Return
Spawn Condition(s):
All bird ambience will stop, and Arirals may now eat any shrimp that is left out. (Your shrimp can be protected by keeping it in the fridge, inside a container, or by having a high reputation.) Both of these effects last forever on the save.

The Arirals within the Array will construct a tree house between Papa and Victor, near Transformer 0, over a five-day period. Campfire smoke will signal the beginning of the event.

Dropped Ariral Gun
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 24: 20:00
A yowling sound will be heard outside. After this the player can find a special gun in the parking lot, along with a shrimp packet. The player can attempt to keep the gun, or they can take it to the tree house for a reputation boost. If the player doesn't bring the gun to the tree house, an Ariral will come back to retrieve it.
Brownie Trail
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 25: 05:30
An Ariral will appear outside and start placing a trail of brownies. Following the trail will lead the player to a large pile of brownies with a note placed on top. The contents of the note depend on the player's Reputation. If the player has a Loyal reputation, the Arirals will create a Kel doll and leave it at the tree house for the player to receive, accompanied by another note. If the player has a Mean reputation, the Arirals will fill the entire base with piles of trash while the player is distracted by the brownies.

Warning Obelisk
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 29: 15:40
An obelisk will fall from the sky and land near the base, setting off the base's alarms. The event will not end until the player approaches the obelisk, activating a hologram that depicts a warning.
Shorts Ariral Teleport
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 30+
After Day 30, it is possible to find the signal "shortarirtp". Shortly after detecting it, a massive crashing sound can be heard, heavy screen shaking will occur, and the screen will flash blue. This will activate the alarms and disable the power. There will now be a permanent dot on the radar, near the edge of the map between Yankee and Romeo. Going there will reveal what appears to be a cut-off part of a satellite, alongside a burnt, half-destroyed corpse and the Gravity Gun.
Sun Blackout
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 31: 11:28
The sky will suddenly turn pitch-black and the world will be dark for exactly 66 real-life seconds. During and after this period, a series of emails will be received.
Looker Signals
Spawn Condition(s): - Days 32-33
The player will receive a series of signals, each one depicting a live feed of the base on the downloading panel. Each signal's feed will be progressively closer to the player. The fourth signal will be from the perspective of the inside of a locker. A notification will pop up warning the player not to look in the locker. (If the player opens the locker, the game will crash. On reload, the player will be standing exactly where they were at the time the locker was opened, and it will be empty. If the player avoids the locker and downloads the signal instead, the crash will be avoided.) The final signal stares at the back of the player's head, and it will automatically download itself before the player has a chance to turn around, even if detection and download percentages are not at 100.
Piramid Arrival
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 35: 18:00
A huge Rozital will appear, walking all around the Array and collecting yellow wisps. It will not attack the player. It will leave after it has collected every yellow wisp present. After this yellow wisps should no longer spawn. (Due to a bug they might continue to spawn for a little while: this can be fixed by saving and reloading.)
Rozital Scouts
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 37: 18:00
A group of tentacled Rozitals will appear near TR_2; at the same time, TR_2 will be shut off, luring the player to this location. The Rozitals will take a long tour around the Array, and will also seek out and attempt to grab and scan the player; if the player avoids being scanned for too long, the Rozitals will try to kill the player instead. If the player is successfully scanned, the Rozitals will peacefully continue their tour, and eventually exit the Array near Victor.
Garage Soltomia
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 39: 19:00
While the player is inside the base, a Soltomia Rozital will enter the garage though the drone hole and start cleaning the ATV with a giant sponge. The front door and balcony door leading out of the base will be jammed, forcing the player to eventually enter the garage. As soon as the player opens the door to the garage, the Rozital will flee and drop its sponge outside, which the player can then collect.
Rozital Mothership
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 42: 11:01
An enormous rectangular Rozital ship will slowly fly over the Array. This event takes 8 real-life minutes to complete.
Hole Repair
Spawn Condition(s): - Day 44: 00:01
Bright purple beams will shine visible from very far, with 4 corners around the Hole near Yankee. Rozitals will take over the area around the Hole, with small Rozitals guarding it with lasers. There will be gadgetry around the hole pointing a yellow beam downward, and afterward you can enter the hole. It will usually send you back to the start and then kill you, however it is possible to use a Hook to reach the bottom room, where 4 notes will be stacked on an object that will send you back to your base.
