Sage Grimm posted:Guy hasn't learned a thing from Reactor Idle. The other problem is that as you get bigger and bigger areas, it turns buying upgrades into a chore, rather than a puzzle. I've got the first two areas and the first area mostly unlocked but I can't be arsed to really do much since it would take like an hour or so to rejigger the whole area. I dunno if Reactor idle was better at this but I'm about to drop it and just come back much later. Basically: the factorio-like concept of the game is pretty solid so he's got some good ideas, but the big problem is just how slow and painful it is. maybe having significantly less space would help or something.

Avocados posted:Anyone? I'm at 37.5Qi gems now, and I really just want to idle for a bit. Problem is that both titans and druids hardly produce unless you're actively spell casting. Go angels and autocast tax collection. You won't make much progress towards gems, but you'll make progress towards spells cast (needed to unlock drow) and mana spent (needed to unlock better autocasting options). Save the gems for when you're able to be online and active. In later Rs - or in R0 if you really go nuts casting poo poo - you can unlock enough autocasting tricks (priority order, different tiers of priority, wait until a minimum mana that you set before casting XYZ) that you can set up some pretty nice spell combos which let you have the benefit of being present without actually being present. e: Actually, you're about at the point where you can/should unlock dwarves and drow (possibly not drow yet if you don't have the spells cast), so I'd do that first, then go dwarf/angel (sensible spellcasting when active, autocast tax collection when idle) once you get them unlocked. That actually would be good for gems, while still contributing to the drow and autocast unlocks. Vil fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Jun 1, 2016 |

In Trimps, does the Carpentry perk only apply if you buy a level when portalling? Because with the past two resets I haven't put any new levels into Carpentry since it's level 12 and it's getting expensive compared to how much Helium I'm getting, but my Huts haven't increased in how many Trimps they can hold and I don't know if that's intentional or if something is failing in some way.

Okay, so I figured out what's going wrong, if not why. For some reason when and only when I buy a level of Carpentry, my housing increases by the correct Carpentry percentage as applied to the original 3 Trimp Hut housing numbers as opposed to the current housing amount that the perk claims. I'm playing on https://trimps.github.io/ which I assume is correct since I can see that it's on version 3.3 which only hit last week. This is happening both with and without AutoTrimps, and with and without activating the Balance challenge. If anyone wants to try this out and see if maybe a different computer changes things somehow, here's my save file: http://pastebin.com/chUgLZvg

When I load your save, I see, relevant to Carpentry and Huts: Carpentry 12 (1.1^12 ~= 3.13842 times base population). Huts give 18.8 trimps apiece according to their tooltip. 3 (base) * 2 (UberHut) * 3.13842 (Carpentry) ~= 18.83057, which matches the tooltip when we account for its rounding. If I respec and bump Carpentry to 13 (1.1^13 ~= 3.45x), huts report they now house 20.7 trimps apiece, which is still accurate to the math. At Carpentry 14 (1.1^14 ~= 3.8x), huts report 22.7. At Carpentry 15 (1.1^15 ~= 4.18x), huts report 25.0. So yeah, looks fine to me - are these the same numbers you're seeing in these scenarios? Granted, of course, your save has some 40k+ trimps and most of them are housed in things other than huts, but Carpentry also increases the total by a compounding 10% each time I increase it too. 41.5k (12) -> 45.7k (13) -> 50.3k (14) -> 55.3k (15).

So Idling to Rule the Gods launched on Steam, but the creator immediately realized that people will import their Kong save and unlock a zillion achievements. So he disabled that.  Sindai posted:They're doing both and the art isn't delaying anything since it's contracted out to actual artists. This is nice, I like how 'percentage of total income produced by this building' is on the button instead of the tooltip.

Back from a week away (pumped drowline to 90,000%  ) and I'm still sat in R16 working my way toward e75 gems.I see that demon is supposed to be better production than elf, but how long is the run supposed to take? I assume you spam HFB to stack that one research high enough?

The wiki linked at the bottom of the page isn't really a guide but it's pretty complete and includes all the oracle messages and their triggers. What does the oracle say? You are probably at the pre-building stage where things go pretty slow because you need to wait for your alchemists to create thousands of thing X to unlock a major upgrade. If you know what to do but it seems slow that's normal.

Done with archwizard! Took 11 days 14 hours, in R36. Only trophy left now is the 750 iron stronghold one, which i am not sure how to get. I used a build i found a guide for but could only get 600, which is a very long way from 750.

Ineptitude posted:Done with archwizard! Took 11 days 14 hours, in R36. No gem power doesn't stop Goblin's Greed from keying off those, so you still get FC, and it's super cheap so you can Tax Collection for your first few FC to get Greed itself. Ruby Power isn't prohibited, so that can give you a few bonus assistants. Where specifically are you getting stuck?

Ineptitude posted:Done with archwizard! Took 11 days 14 hours, in R36. If you haven't already done so, do the dwarf challenges. Dwarf 5 makes every building count 20% more, so you only need 625 Iron Strongholds for it to count as 750. Goblin bloodline of course. And if this is the same R in which you did archwizard and you haven't reincarnated since then, you'll have a pretty awesome grand balance that hits a lot of things, so take advantage of that. I'm pretty sure you can do this in a merc build (which would allow you to take that dwarf upgrade that also reduces building costs), but if not, I'd give druids a shot and failing that try titans after prepping lightning strike RNG (via checking forecast) so it'll hit some usefully productive things in the first 5 minutes.

Are there any "tricks" to playing Undead in Realm Grinder? I'm working on D25 Research (8 Hours Offline as Undead), but I'm trying to earn some money to buy some other researches before I shut the game off for a while and the gains from the spell combo I'm running now (all 4 spells with a millisecond to cast 1 TC) is just terrible.

Undead gets a bit better with some faction-specific researches (which you may or may not have unlocked yet) but otherwise no, it's not that great. It's built mainly around assistants (which are decent) and offline bonus (which is garbage). I think it's intended to be the faction you choose if you want to go offline without making basically zero progress, except faceless are a better choice for that scenario because of racking up Hive Mind time (which is one of the very few things - besides permanent unlocks - which helps across reincarnations). So no, just go offline as undead and accept that it'll accomplish pretty much gently caress-all except for unlocking that one research (and any other researches downstream that depend on that one). Best to do that some time when you wouldn't be playing anyway, e.g. right before you go to bed for the night.

Titan is king of faction coin generation, especially once you finish the fourth challenge and Lighting Strike's faction coin production gets boosted. Just make sure you have enough gems to cover the gold cost, which isn't too hard.

Goblins are as good as it gets with the right research. It does start to take a while once you get up there in research but you just have to wait it out. I'm pretty sure Titans can't compare to casting TC dozens of times per second, the challenge upgrade doesn't increase LS that much and faction coin find bonuses are additive so you can't stack that much from research.
