The Toast with the Most

something posted:

uhhh, trying to remember what i last posted here but i think multiple resolutions are in (under settings), equipment merging (basically take 2 items that are the same and drag one onto the other, kind of like boosting. It'll gain a level, and increase its caps by 1%, to a max of double caps at level 100.

some bugfixes, 24 hour challenge is sort of in. Couple minor things that are technically in, but don't do much yet. Probably a lot of changes to exp costs and such things.

Oh you should really put in a tooltip on that menu that tells you about the drag/combining. Also can you make drag combining in the inventory slots? Having to drag back to the inventory then back to equip is kind of a drag.

Also what does energy power/magic power mean? My guess is that it imparts more levels per bar tick, is that right? Would probably be nice to have a tooltip.

Also bug or feature: you can equip rings in both accessory slots?

Also broken time machine's progress bars don't reset on rebirth, only the full ones.

Also for the money pit, I've used it once and got something, used it again with a what I thought was similar or greater amount of money and got a message saying I needed to throw more. Is it just really random? It's kind of sad to lose all your money, get nothing and get locked out of the feature.

The icon for accessories when there's nothing in them is just an aesthetic thing, not saying " this MUST be a ring" any kind of accessory will do. Though i'll likely make some very special accessories that will have a limit of 1 of its kind equipped overall. And yeah for now i only coded it to work within the inventory, but I'll try to get it to work from equipment=>inventory real soon.

Money pit is basically a shell that I'll fill in with something eventually, but it's meant to just be a thing you do just before rebirth to toss all your gold down the hole and get a little reward maybe.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
Sword Fight is picking up some steam now that i have 3 masters, a bunch of buildings, researching scrolls etc.

The game is kinda dragged down by how you get 20% more gold by selling something than it cost, and how the game inevetably requires you to do this. Im just sitting there clicking in the same spots on my screen; is there a program i can automate this with? Like a program that moves my mouse cursor and clicks buttons. I don't want a super c onvoluted autohotkey script (if that even works here) but something super simple that i set up myself.

I wrote this in PowerShell.

When getting it set up, modify these two lines:
for ($i=1; $i -le 5; $i++)
$delay = 150

the -le 5 is the number of loops. Set it to 1 or 2 to start.
Set $delay to 1000 or higher while getting the coordinates set.

I never did this except one time to get Master Blacksmith, and I got to the end of the game's content in just a few days without ever feeling like it was slowed to a crawl. Just don't bother doing the sell loop and you'll still play fine.

I'm pretty sure that everything you added gets folded in yes. But I will admit I never checked for might because an extra 100 or so from a UCB would barely register. Once I get my planet to 50 in a week or so I'll be grinding out the remainder of the UBCs I need. Assuming I remember I can check before and after to be certain.

Yeah, if you need gold there's the sandshrew -> gold recipe, but other than that I think it's just a matter of increasing your alchemists, queens (for more ants into gems) and the baggers needed to start industry.

Is the build on G00F's site for DC6 the thing you want to do for the challenge? It doesn't seem to take off at all, but I have grand balance only at t3 so IDK. The build doesn't even use a lineage but I guess druid/druid is how you reach 200k mana regen and 300k mana at this point in the game (r64). Getting that A1500 would help too?

It is, yes. If the build has A1500, you should have A1500. It just means it'll be another 6 hours on top of the 2-3 days required.

Once I posted here complaining about how the Lost Idols game had daily quest type things that required you to click. Well I want you to know that in my game I posted here a little while ago I added not just daily click events but also achievements that require you to complete daily click events because I'm just the worst person :kheldragar:

The click events have a low chance to appear, at least.

I'll probably actually release the game (on web) in October. Maybe.

There's 5 possible daily bonuses that can appear each day, all of which are counted for the achievements, and one of which involves clicking between 250 and 500 times, which you'll probably get without thinking about when you're trying to push through a boss. Not only will this likely not ruin the game or make it unplayable, you might even enjoy the free items you get afterwards.

There's not really a need to run a smear campaign against me me because 1 brand new feature that's not in the release yet (because the game isn't actually going to be released for another month or two).

Since it's not a popular thing, I'll remove the daily click bonuses.

Take the normal Titan/Dragon build but replace E275 (mana regen based on Royal Exchange bonus) with E290 when you can reincarnate. Typically you'll want to wait for R54 because that's when you can actually do DC2 and the research bonus it unlocks isn't really used in the main gem progression.
