DACK FAYDEN posted:Got to the point in Wall Destroyer where I should be bothering to figure out an autoclick, but I haven't. Like, even clicking manually more than doubles my DPS. I like how the upgrades are all just multipliers, but it still makes manual clicking relevant - might sound weird, but it feels polished. I don't know enough about JavaScript to make one but if you do would you mind posting it here? The one for Mine Defense has been super useful.

Here's one I just found on the incremental game subreddit: http://dempo.minethings.com/ You sign up and the numbers get bigger whether you're online or offline. Things to do include building a robot, upgrading the robot, buying mines, trading stuff, working for other players/hiring other players (no idea how that works), and probably some other stuff. I signed up as EvilBillMurray because why not. The game has a referral system and I'm not 100% on what that does but here's my link: http://www.minethings.com/miners/index/+196522 Edit: I don't know if it matters but I'm on the Dempo server.

senae posted:Clicking is a bad mechanic and your option is to either ignore the fact that a huge percentage of your users will use an autoclicker, or design for that, and both of those are terrible. Hover mechanics are the best way to reward attentiveness but I've seen basically one idle game use them. I've been checking out the incremental game subreddit and you wouldn't believe how angry people get at auto clickers. Like the people there legitimately want everyone to sit there clicking over and over and earn every click through hard earned dedication. Also they get really really pissy when games made on the cookie clicker engine get posted. Because that's not the subreddit for those sorts of games.

My holdup now is food. Dragons are expensive yo. Edit: The dragon went from an egg to small after being fed 1000 times. He upgraded again at level 10k. Level 30k he still hasn't leveled up again. Len fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Dec 15, 2014 |

Eldercain posted:I'm up to 4k, I don't have patience for more than 1k at a time. I'll do some more when I get home and hopefully unlock the next shrine. Do you cap out at 10k or is this gonna be another grindfest? As far as I can tell you don't need anything past 10k. Until someone posts the new upgrades and how to get them I stopped. Water essence is how I'm getting scales now that I have hunters but it generates so slowly. I have it at like level 65-70 and an extra 100% essence generation. But it still isn't getting anywhere.

Sindai posted:There are several points in MD where you either have to idle for a day or two, or cheat. It's not very consistent. The flax/essence problems are supposed to be fixed Saturday. He's going to downgrade essence costs and make one of the hirelings have a chance of finding flax. Supposedly at least. There's a topic on the subreddit he made specifically for complaining about balance. Personally I want a way to lower goblin HP because I lost a 1T wall with 300 mages defending it. That'll teach me for letting the traps lapse. Never doing that again.

Eldercain posted:Flax isn't so bad really because the hunters are kind of crap for dragonscale compared to hounds. I easily got all my shrines to 30 (water to 40) after one night with the water shrine + alchemy running. I guess they might be good once you can create them in the trillions but the flax generation even with a fix will probably end up being a massive grind. I'm currently on day 2 of waiting for enough food for the second dragon feeding and I even have that awful 50k education food upgrade. In the meantime I have all my hirelings alchemizing with all my leftover alchemists on bloodhounds since they speed the entire process up so much with their OP buff. With 100 dragon hunters you unlock the ability to alchemize them. Which would be useful because the essence costs are ridiculous. I just got started on the step after novice dragon and 10% costs 100k fire. So that's my current plan.

# ¿ Dec 18, 2014 21:34 |

Eldercain posted:Yeah, but I can't see getting 100 dragon hunters for weeks unless the flax upgrade is pretty substantial. I get maybe 1-2 per day, and flax generation just doesn't go up in any meaningful way. It's supposed to be like the Wyvern and Adamantium. I don't remember what the hireling is gonna be though. So having 1T of it should speed up production quite a bit.

Essence really is dragging Mine Defense down and I really hope he has some good patch for it this weekend like he says he will. Short of upgrading and sacrificing lots of dragons I just don't see how you can effectively get as much as it wants. There's a neurochryslis upgrade for scholars adding % to essence generation: ((# scholars)^(0.33)) / 100 but even at 3 million scholars the bonus is worthless. Giving a whole 1.372% modifier.

# ¿ Dec 19, 2014 02:26 |

Sindai posted:It's not that bad. it's a multiplier, not a percent, so in your example it's actually a 37.2% bonus. At 10 million it doubles your income, and that's easy to hit since you can have 200-300k population then. Oh well then yeah that's way better than I thought it would be. My bad numbers and math are dark magic.

# ¿ Dec 19, 2014 15:40 |

Eldercain posted:I really feel like that's key to the design: nobody wants to collect just one kind of thing. Phasing through different currencies or meta-currencies over time gives you a sense of progression, and especially those that last through prestige or rearrange how you think about earlier currencies etc. have a large impact on how the game plays, which keeps it from just being "oh hey this number went up more I guess". To get 10% of a dragon upgrade is 100k of a single essence. It is beyond silly.

# ¿ Dec 19, 2014 17:01 |

Eldercain posted:Do you have to choose one and keep feeding it that one? Or does the type it changes to depend on which one it ate the most of or something? From code-surfing it looks like you have to grind up one of each, get the upgrade for it, and then when you've made all 4 you can progress. So I guess so long dragons, enjoy your portal adventure I'm not sure exactly how it works. After you get the novice levels you pick an essence type and then its a shitload of food or pop, I forgot which it said neither matter, and 100k of that essence. And there's like 8 dragons.
