No, really. You need like 250 ships to get half decent returns on trading. It's better than waiting on calciners well before that but when you start needing thousands to do anything you really want to be bringing some back every trip.

Kinda puts Civ5(Or any Civ) in perspective in how long and how much everything takes. Then again we've also managed this in a 'mere' 100/200/300 years. Do the civs unlock in a set order or have fixed selling? My first three were Lizards(Minerals for Wood), Sharks(Iron for Catnip), Griffins(Wood for Iron), the fourth was Naga(Ivory for Minerals-Thank you whoever mentioned the culture requirement, I'd have never guessed that).

Sharks/Lizards/Griffons unlock in random order but you only need to hit year 20. The rest all unlock when you hit the requirements, which are pretty hard to hit out of order.

According to my math, you need 242.857 ships to get a 100% titanium rate. That's not *so* bad, really; it's not like they have geometrically rising costs. I'm far from the point where my iron is behind my coal, but even if I never buy another workshop again I already have 2/3 of the charts I'll need. Unless there's more tech that costs star charts...

I like how this game combines two things I enjoy on the internet when bored: idle clickers and making fun of bitcoin! The irony of leaving this in the background while thinking bitcoin is stupid is not lost on me, however. e: There aren't any good ones of these for iOS, are there?

Yeah, but the amount per trade keeps increasing and ships boost your storage eventually so you're never going to be done with the stupid things. But I guess I'll see when I get back up there, paragon and karma make a huge difference. Not sure if there's any more techs for star charts yet but there's talk of space travel that will probably need them.

In addition to their religious significance they make ok storage buildings. e: I really, really hate how all your cats quit their jobs the moment one dies. I thought I had enough catnip income and wandered off for a few hours, came back to the you monster achievement the endless cycle of cats showing up and starving since what farmers I had all quit. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Aug 3, 2014 |

Cattegame isn't kidding when it calls itself the Dark Souls of incremental clickers. I just managed to get myself into a losing position because I didn't digest that having more huts meant more kittens, which meant more catnip drainage, and combined with it being winter I couldn't even keep up with one kitten draining my supply enough to click my way back to solvency.

my dad posted:Farmers? I hadn't gotten that far yet. I took it kind of slowly at first, and probably wasted a bunch of time early on not even noticing that there were seasons. I figured I could just leave it on in the background and gather some initial catnip at a low rate a la cookie clicker or something. Nope. I kinda liked that, though, all the signs were right there, I just wasn't paying enough attention. Makes me want to see if I can "outsmart" the game the next time.

Every time I remember Anti-Idle exists and want to play it more my save has disappeared into the great flash storage abyss. Right now I'm really liking Derivative Clicker. I like that Prestige has actual upgrades to buy and isn't just increasing a multiplier.

One of the things I like about Cattegame is that prestige has limits so people stick around because of new content and not just repeating the same poo poo over and over.

That bitcoin idler is pretty mediocre but I like the idea of diminishing returns for clicking really fast. It's theoretically a disincentive for using autoclicks but doesn't do much for normal use. Not too good in the actual game, but an idea worth refining.

The cat game goes reeeeally slow for me, but I got two random portals to the Unicorn Dimension, so... that's cool, I guess. (goddamned wood, need more wood, need more wood forever)

There actually does come a time where wood is no longer a huge problem. At which point metal and fuel become your new addiction.

It just unlocks an upgrade that doubles the output for turning nip into wood. Construction lets you buy improvements for some of your buildings. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Aug 5, 2014 |

RabbitWizard posted:Is fuckton the right word? It's really insane how much upgrades, resources and buildings this game has. Well, if it's bigger than a shitload, you've chosen correctly. It's quite a big rabbit hole to fall through but the stark UI makes it difficult for me to care about raising my civilization to dizzying, number raising heights. The numbers that increase are really small so it doesn't have the same impact the cattegame has. Also, the hire/fire and build/raze buttons are incredibly unintuitive. I expect the operation to be the complete reverse: left-right to decrease/increase, up-down to raise/lower magnitude.

I started out building 50 catnip farms before building enough wood to make huts. Suddenly I make some huts and it becomes winter, and I'm losing 6.5 catnip due to demand, and being taken down to -3.5 catnip per tick. I have no way to stop this.

The best advice I can give you is to pause the game & harvest catnip yourself to survive that first winter. When the game's paused it registers harvest clicks and then adds it all into your stock when you unpause. Then you can plan more carefully for the next winter. Or start over & coddle your kitties.

You need to supplement your passive income with farmer kittens. Build a library and research agriculture.
