Yeah resetting in the kittens game seems totally not worth it. The bonuses really don't do anything to make the starting grind any easier.

Some new games: Rebuild The Universe where you start from tiny particles up to I have no idea and make the universe. There isn't any active clicking involved, you just wait for numbers to go up and buy more stuff. The numbers get really big. Sort of educational I guess? Particle Clicker where you run a particle accelerator. Also kind of educational I guess? This one actually has clicking and upgrades instead of just numbers. drunken officeparty fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Aug 8, 2014 |

DACK FAYDEN posted:What'd it take to get to 1000? I'm at 4.4 sextillion angels (without buying the 1 sx upgrade) and I stall out at 950 newspapers, 900 car washes, 1000 everything else. Septendecillions just take so long. Are you idling for, like, more than two days at a time? That last 10 newspapers takes just a shade over 300 Septendecillion. I'm at around 142 sx angels, so it doesn't quite take a couple of days... more like 'almost a day.' That said, if we're going to be getting achievements - presumably with the standard 'profit x2' modifier - up to 2000 for everything, it's already fairly trivial to get up to 17, 1800 lemonade stands (for example), so that should, I hope, close the gap a bit as they continue to double in profit.

Those achievements will go a long way - you can get to 1400 oil and 1700 lemonade without even making an entire septendecillion, which should be 8x to basically your entire output given how much of the heavy lifting they do. Plus, the ability to buy that 1 sx upgrade without sweating the angel loss is probably key too.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Plus, the ability to buy that 1 sx upgrade without sweating the angel loss is probably key too. It really, really is. My strategy, by the way, has been 'reset when I stand to at least double my total angels;' usually when I do it takes no more than an hour to get back to the position I'd been in pre-reset, except now I'm earning still more money. Then I'll just close the tab and go back to it the next day, check how many angels I stand to earn with a reset, and usually I can just wash, rinse, and repeat. AdCap really benefits from frequent resets in a way that, for instance, Derivative Clicker doesn't (as much). The returns from resetting are enough to get you over the production hump pretty rapidly.

Kyrosiris posted:When do you guys suggest your first reset in AdCap? For my money, "when the idea of waiting long enough for the next purchase becomes too boring to stand" is a good time. I actually first reset when I had enough to earn a whopping 2 angels, because I am dumb; that was a waste of time. But somewhere around "I can expect at least double or triple the income" might not be a bad time to do it. Ideally more than that, but if it's a choice between Optimal Strategy and Not Being Bored, I'll take the latter every time.

There are a couple of poor man's candy boxes out there like The Gold Factory that aren't as good but might scratch the same itch, and a couple of the others like cattegame and Sandcastle Builder have enough interesting stuff going on that it's more than a pure Skinner box.

Cattegame PRO-TIPS: - When you're sacrificing Unicorns skip past Unicorn Tombs and head straight to an Ivory Tower or two. It will speed up Unicorn generation a lot more than a percentage increase on 0.001 per tick per Unicorn Pasture ever will. - Ivory Citadels don't seem all that worth it for the Ivory meteor chance since by the time you can get one you're already generating your own Ivory from Mints - It doesn't seem ever worth it to stick cattes in Priest roles, use Chapels if you want faster Faith generation - Prioritize Workshops for second/third tier efficiency and Trading Posts for better trading output

You lose them every reset but they're worth it so long as you don't buy ones you can barely afford. E: I just went from about 8 sextillion angels to 1 octillion since the update

You lose them, but it is generally worth it. The amount of money it takes to get an angel doesn't seem to increase, so as long as you're making money faster you'll be able to recoup the investment cost quickly.

What an odd design choice, they're really cheap too, so you'd end up buying them pretty early. e: Apparently the dude posts updates and answers on a subreddit devoted to the game. quote:Is it intentional that Specials don't change the APS of previous bought items? So yeah, that's honestly a kinda weird choice, buying the upgrade at any other point than the last stage is wasteful, if you're minmaxing it? They're effectively just a boost that you can activate right before idling for a while, I guess. e: Or? What? Agh, I am utterly stumped as to how exactly those things work.

One of the more important ones needs a trading ship and one of the techs that unlocks at the same time.

They add a multiplier to your harbors' storage rates, and they suffer from diminishing returns after a point. But, yeah, if you don't have many, making a few will make a huge difference.

I'm curious if anyone is farther than me in this yet. I haven't exactly been minmaxing everything and I've gotten to a point where it's really starting to slow down. The next thing I can buy is V354 Cephei for 5.19 Decillion.

I'm saving for an M54 Globular Cluster, 501 Tredecillion. I've got 105 of those V354 Cephei things.  It seems to have a weird curve. The bonuses are worth far more than any new things at this point, its worth pumping all those early ones way up for the massive boosts that come when start being able to buy global 15-16% boosts. I'm starting to slow down, but it really picked up hard when I opened it after shutting my laptop for the night and found I'd been earning while I slept.
