Is there a way to autoclick in Wall Destroyer while it runs in another tab? I've been using AHK, but I can't really do anything else on my computer while that's running.


e: Figured it out, had to pop it into the console. Thanks!

So this is really dumb, but these loving clicker games have gotten me interested enough in javascript that I've had moderate luck applying it to troubleshooting at work.

Those last three upgrades are going to take ages, but at least I finally got to 2000 newspapers. I'm at 117 tredecillion angel investors, going to let the game sit a bit till I get at least another 400 tredecillion built up and push another reset, see if I can't get to 1 tretrigentillion a little bit faster.

this is exactly where I'm at. Not enough angels to reset, not enough money to buy the next newspaper. Gonna be another 2 days till I buy all the papers though if my mental math is correct!

The new Mine Defense update is confusing. What does Hone Weapons do?

And how is it possible to ever afford Bomb Enemies? It costs 10sp mana for me and I produce less than 400Qa per second with all mages meditating.

EDIT: Oh, he made a thread on the reddit to ask the people who idle all week how much mana they make to set the cost. Of course.

I'm probably not much better than the redditors but I make a couple hundred Sx a second. 100 chrysalis with 400 meditating mages and a shitload of mage wisdom.

Yeah, it's locked behind a few soft resets, which is dumb IMO, but that's how it is, I guess?

Welp, was about to hit 2000 newspapers when my computer froze. Started things up again, and for some reason the music I'd turned off was now playing again after weeks of not doing so.

Turns out all my progress had been reset. Entirely. Guess that's as good a reason as any to quit "playing".

Just when I thought I was out you pull me back in! (Not really. Holding out for the big update.)

I got to 100 Omega Locks and that unlocked the Cookie. That took me most of a reset with everything up to the 10^100 fortune upgrades. I can't even imagine the clicking. That'd be up there wth 2500 Wizards, you know?

They're just to make sure you don't accidentally spend all your larva with the buy max button. Injects are by far the best way to get larva, but they rely on having a good bank built up. They're entirely free so I usually just stick 90% of my larva in there so I don't have to worry about it.

Does something happen in Swarmsimeventually other than unlocking higher tiers of meat derivative units and territory creating units? The UI is possibly the slickest I've seen but it's really simple.

It's very new and also going to have saves reset soon because inject larvae completely dominates the game if used right and completely ruins it if used wrong.

I probably used it wrong then because I didn't realize what it or cocoons did for a while, but how could it dominate the game? At most you can double a portion of what you've generated, but since larva generation increases exponentially it can't put you that far ahead.

You could save them up, but when would you use them?

I haven't figured out the exact timing but there are people on the subreddit resetting days old saves because they messed it up.

Sage Grimm

Let's go explorin' little dude!
You save up the injections and then use them all at once when you have been idling for a while (ie when you're at work). Each injection doubles both larva and cocoons in addition to providing you with 1000 more. Since doubling is also an exponential function (think compounding interest) it would put you well ahead of where you "should" be in terms of larva resources, apparently outpacing any production made from expansions. This makes the territory side of the game completely obsolete.

Developer has been paying attention and has plans for modifying the use of Injections for the 0.2 version. He's also going to be resetting everybody's game at that time.

Wait, what 10^100 fortune upgrades? I'm at 100 locks too and the only e+100 thing I've ever seen is the Warp-Reality Converter Win Type Epsilon.

Coin Clicker is the most absurdly paced game. It's very slow and relies a ton on autoclicking until you reset for the first time, then suddenly you're just spamming upgrades until The White upgrade.

Is that where the game ends?

There's starcoins for a long time after that but not much else.
