So I was playing Wall Destroyer and I got tired of manually clicking on buildings a zillion times apiece after resetting. So I wrote a script that continuously buys the cheapest building. I thought you guys might find it useful too.

When I want to run it, I just paste it into the Firebug console window and press "Run". Not sure how you'd use it if you're using a different browser.

I have a AC save with lots of angels and the first 15 minutes of every reset is always buying ~2000 of everything. Would it be possible to write a script like that for Adventure Capitalist, or won't that work because it's written in Unity?

I got bored and made a calc for the 2.0 version of AdCap.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KoPd9Jhj21Gh6pEea-xwcvEMcbkvlOE5689mOlzMgLs

Completely functional for everything except upgrades requiring Angels, and the 99.999% discount for the moment.

I put in my current amounts but I'm at a loss what else to do. What is 'upgrade #'? Do I fill in 'Angels' and how the gently caress do I know how many zeroes are in a tredecillion?

There's several points where it slows down. I'm at 1900 newspapers and after a day a reset will only earn me 20% of my current angel investors.

When I ran into lulls earlier, I just reset when I felt like it, angels be damned. Eventually you'll get the next impossibly-expensive-upgrade (that's like 3 orders of magnitude the cost of the previous one) and it speeds up again.

November 4 � Game Broken!

Hey Capitalists! Wanted to drop a quick note that the game is down for reasons we�re not yet sure on. We didn�t push any updates or anything, so the problem isn�t immediately clear.

We�re working on this right now, and we�ll update when we know what�s what. Thanks for your patience!

Another update on Adventure Capitalist. SOmething is massively broken, they're working on it, your progress has not been lost, and the longer it takes them to fix it, the more you will be compensated in-game.

Anyway, back to Clicker Heroes I guess.

November 5 � Game is fixed!

Hey Capitalists! I�m pleased to announce that the market has recovered, the game is back up, and your regularly scheduled Capitalism can continue.

We�ll be working on a special �I Survived the Crash of Nov 4� compensation package, to help make up for your lost progress. I�ll let you know when that�s up and working for you.

Thanks for your patience everyone. We�re working on some backup measures that will hopefully ensure a crash of this magnitude doesn�t happen again.

That's intentional. The early stuff has a slightly higher exponential factor to cost but it's partially offset by all the free ones you get from angel upgrades and the super-expensive managers that decrease their cost. The income generally stays crap but you'll always want to buy them anyway for the achievements that multiply the income of every building type.

Also if you look at the achievements you'll notice that the more expensive stuff has lower final achievements.

In the early game, oil rigs will net you the most money. Mid-game to late-game it'll be lemonade stands, and I'm at the point now where it's actually the movie theaters that get the best cash-per-second. Newspapers are almost always the most expensive one, but they also give the best achievement bonuses.

So I'm playing Clicker Heroes off-and-on and I'm not sure I understand the ancients. Do I just try to summon and unlock a new one every reset? Do I try to collect them all? I have 2 souls right now with 4 waiting after my next (second) reset.

Top tip for ~~those of you still sub-500~~ everyone in Clicker Heroes. The halloween sweeties that drop persist through resets. So when you are ready to ascend, wait for the sweetie, ascend, and then click it.

You can thank me later

I did check the last 10 or so pages, and didn't see this.

Edit: I made an edit.

I've noticed the little candy gives ridiculous amounts of gold. How often does it appear, and does it stay if you go up a level?

You should summon a new one when the benefit outweighs losing the extra damage from your unspent souls. If you're thinking "that sounds like a complicated math problem I would need a computer's help to solve" you're right!

http://www.rivsoft.net/clicker/ancients This one optimizes for gold income and is a bit out of date.
http://www.rivsoft.net/clicker/ancientssoul This one optimizes for soul income and is more up-to-date, but assumes you're playing in a ridiculously unfun way since optimal soul income turns out to involve constantly babysitting the game and ascending like every 20 minutes.

How the hell can you reset for more souls in 20 minutes? It takes me several days to get to level 100 :psyduck:

Dang, Ancients in Clicker Heroes are expensive. I figured I'd just collect them all by getting one every reset, but I have 3 now and any of the next ones is 7 souls instead of 1 or 3.

I know I'm supposed to bank about 50 souls first but it's just so boring now.

In Rebuild the Universe, I've got around 3.15 or 2.54 total APS at the moment from the black hole, and on my current run I've had it idling around 2 days waiting for my next upgrade (which I'm thinking of being 75->100 entire universes), where this morning I had 2.22 Novembdecillion atoms saved up.

My question is, since my current black hole increase is 50%, should I keep working on building up to at least 150 Entire Universes before I next reset, or should I at least wait for a 55% increase?

Dang, Rebuild The Universe is pretty. If it updates regularly I might be tempted to call it the new Cookie Clicker Killer.

Does it run when you close it?

AdCap is pretty fun right up until you hit ~2300 of everything and you hit a brick wall. After a few weeks of resetting hourly, then daily, then hourly again, it slows down to a crawl where you can't get a decent amount of angels on a reset even if you wait a week.

Technically once you buy the special associated with entire universes. Tho there's a prestige system in the black hole...

Yeah I found this out literally 5 minutes after posting. I even panicked for a second because I thought the final upgrade 'ended' the game, but it was just that the upgrades window was blank (since I bought them all).

I'm on my 3rd or 4th playthrough and my black hole multiplier is at 3.02, but it's not more fun than the first playthrough. Replay value is pretty low.

poo poo, some soul calculator told me to invest lots into the Fragsworth ancient, but I later found that it used to be horribly broken and to never invest in it.

Is it still broken? I may have sunk 15 of my 60 souls into it.

Uh, so I tried using 'Gary's Autoclicker' (or something? Icon is a big red A) on Clicker Heroes, but when I turned it on all the hits showed things like LOL, NOPE, MISS instead of the damage numbers. Does it somehow detect the autoclicker?

delfin posted:

Well, I'd argue that the endgame _is_ getting all the upgrades/achievements. In about a day, I went from spending a day getting to 5 sexagintillion to getting there with ease thanks to a couple of resets; in about 11 unsexagintillion I finish off the last achievements and I'm not sure what else there is to do until the next set of updates.

Yeah I meant that, my bad. The 'late endgame' is getting the last few upgrades, long after all the achievements are finished and there's still 6 orders of magnitude to bridge.

Even worse was that when I went to random-regild, I shift-clicked him instead of regular-clicking and gilded him AGAIN for 80 souls (I only had 117 to begin with). Thank goodness I had a backup from 20 levels back.

No see first you get a polearm and enchant that with +9 levels worth of poo poo (mostly chaotic powers), get a ranged weapon and enchant that with +10 (same again); then you fuse them together to get one extra power. Don't forget to use the Unobtanium you've earned through constantly feeding your pet over the Literally A Year you've been playing the game to make them into an unobtanium +5 weapon, then give it to your robot to use (don't forget to constantly funnel bacon/broccoli into them!) while you mine crystals until your laptop overheats.

Stil playing Clicker Heroes, using MouseKeys to fast-click when needed. Starting to get cramps in my wrist.

Does anyone have a AutoHotkey script that clicks the mouse every 10ms, for 30 seconds? I can only find scripts that click it x times.

Even better would be a script that clicks every 10ms if e.g. Capslock is turned on.

e: got one:

code:

#SingleInstance force
~capslock::
LOOP
{
	if getkeystate("capslock", "T")
	{
		Click
		Sleep 30
	}
	else
		break

I also like that it makes no effort to define the gates you should be making.

"Make a XOR gate. What do you mean you don't know what that is, it's a XOR gate, dummy!"

I don't even know what a NAND gate is and it's the first element in the game. The first tutorial is 'click these things, now go on to the next tutorial' and then the second one goes 'what do you mean you don't understand that code block? you completed the first tutorial didn't you?'.

Well you're in luck! works slow so that tutorial I said I'd write (including literally any description of what a NAND gate is) is right here: http://pastebin.com/D1XrXYzB

It's not a very good game, as it is, but the actual puzzle of "build some logic circuits" is pretty ok if you're not already an electrical engineer.

The right way to do something like this is to take out the cookie clicker nonsense entirely, add leaderboards for each puzzle, and just let users play with those. The Spacechem approach.

Thanks, the tutorial is pretty clear but it's just not stuff I'm prepared to invest time in.

Having it just as a puzzle element is interesting though. I've run across Regex Crossword and absolutely loved it. Devoured every puzzle.
