Factory Idle suffers from exactly the same type of issues as the reactor idlers Possibility to go into negative income and paint yourself into a corner, undoing all your effort for potentially days Lots of wasted space it is not possible to use due to awkward sizes of buildings and/or inability to rotate them Lack of sense of progress from getting a new material only to find out you need a ton of other upgrades for it to be better than old ones And the most infuriating of all: Finding this really great layout that utilizes almost all available space only for it to not work because the metal lab in that spot decides to output trash to research lab and metal reports to the recycler, with no ability for the player to influence this. A shame really, the potential in reactor/factory idlers is great but there are too many lousy mechanics and/or outright bugs for these games to be enjoyable (personal opinion)

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.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I assume you already have the challenge that makes your buildings count as more buildings, the Dwarf or whatever one. It's trivial post-ascension if you're willing to wait (because its requirements change), but if not just get to the end of your R and go neutral mercs with dwarf (1,2) for the multiplier reduction. I tried Goblin bloodline for even more cost reduction but ended up actually using old-Demon (the flat +mana regen), but Druid should work fine too, your goal is to go Tax Collection > mercs > Goblin's Greed > pay for upgrades with those FC > wait until 4:50 and jam all your spells at once and buy max Strongholds. You mention a merc build but im not able to get anywhere near the E55 coins required to even start on mercs. I get to E43 coins, with Elven bloodline and Titans. Elven bloodline is even the only bloodline that lets me unlock neutral factions in the first place, the other bloodlines only get to mid E15 coins in the 5 minute time limit (1E16 coins required to unlock neutral factions) I have all challenges. The best i am able to do is 550 iron strongholds in 5 minutes.

How do you get the dwarf/drow research relics to appear in your buyable upgrades in the new RG? ALl my research trees are at 5/5 upgrades so its not like the buy all button has bought the horn of kings (if thats whati t was called) but its not in my buyable upgrades list (They are grouped)

It is for mobile phones but Egg Inc is a pretty decent idler/clicker. It is something as rare as a mobile idler that isn't a flat out clone of AdCap and does several innovative things. The offline timer is 2 hours capped if you don't sink money into the game and the unlock for more offline time (10 hours i believe) is fairly expensive (55 NOK, so i guess around $8) If this had been more reasonably priced i probably would have bought it. The game does have the standard IAP currency (golden eggs) but you get a ton of them from daily gifts and the stuff you unlock with them is not particularly important. Hot tip: When holding down the button to spawn more chickens, click on one of the menus while doing so, this "locks in" the chicken spawning button so you don't have to manually hold it down.

(I have them on iOS, im assuming they exist for android as well) AbyssRium (word play on Abyss Aquarium i think) is adcap'ish but lets you look at a relaxing aquarium. It is also not very cash grabby. There are no prestige mechanic though, from what i can tell. Egg Inc has a few unique mechanics. Progress stagnates something fierce when trying to unlock the second to last egg though Tap Transcend, a clicker with a storyline, where you build up a planet by starting with simple elements and progressing from there. Has a gameplay twist in that it turns into a multiplayer strategy game after you have built the planet.

Vil posted:At this point though, the issue is more that the game still hasn't released a meaningful content update in the better part of a year, and they no longer have the graphics and interface project as an excuse. Realm Grinder already has more content, innovation and gameplay than multiple other idle games, combined. I am not sure why everyone feels so entitled to get more content in RG yet at the same time play AdCap or similar games completely devoid of any gameplay or innovation.

Both of these games are very popular. One of them has tons of content, huge replayability and lots of varied gameplay. The other has little change to gameplay and is samey from the first time you click a button. I too want more content for RG since i enjoy(ed) the game (until the graphics update) but at this point it would be more of a bonus than an expectation. There is already a lot of content in the game.

I am just annoyed that AdCap gets the amount of attention it does while much more interesting (subjective) games sometimes barely reach critical mass to continue to attract or keep players. When developers see the popularity of AdCap they will just clone that game (already happened several times) instead of making more innovative games in a genre that still has a lot of potential innovation left.

Lazy Kings is interesting and i hope it gets fleshed out more, but it is a bit rough around the edges. For battles while playing elves, the only thing that matters is your Archer quantity. A battle will only be "won" once the enemy number is lower than your archer number (since each archer kills 1 enemy), so buildings such as ents who kills enemies in battle effectively do nothing. Same with orcs, your orcs lost per battle is [enemy number] - [your champion number], not taking into account towers.

Eldercain posted:Has anyone mentioned endless dream yet? It's got kind of an interesting battle system and although I'm not very far in it seems to have quite a bit of customization. Not sure how well it scales up but I assume if they have an ascension system in place there's probably at least some folks in the endgame. Tried it out after your post. Its alright but a bit too many buttons and progression mechanics. There is a ton of ways to customize your dudes, from having a huge amount of classes to select from, to putting gear on them, to upgrading their myriad of skills, to prestiging them so they gain talent points, to ascension to reset your whole game for another progression mechanic. As far as player input there is a bunch of buttons the player needs to click (no autocasting or similar), the player needs to regularly select gear to be equipped (this could do with some automation) as well as select which dungeon your dudes should fight in. The game was interesting while unlocking all 6 dudes but started feeling a bit samey after that. The progress seems slow as well, i am at floor 35 of the repeatable dungeon, out of level 9999. After this dungeon you need to do another 9999 floors in a different dungeon to ascend. Each floor has 10 fights you need to win to progress to the next floor. That means 200000 fights to ascend the first time. You can tell the game to progress to the next floor after beating a floor and while this adds some automation to the game you will quickly end up going to a floor where your dudes gets killed, meaning they go back to town and stop progressing entirely. It would be better if they just went back to the previous floor or something (maybe after a short cooldown period) Ineptitude fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Sep 16, 2016 |

Slurpy Derpy: -Evolving feels like a punishment in that you go back to square 1 and get a very small progression increase from it. -Devolving feels like a gigantic punishment that resets everything to 1 and gives you some other small progression increase from it, like literally weeks to get back to where you were. -Having to re-research angel and reaper after a devolution is a bullshit mechanic that further contributes to devolution feeling like a punishment. -The dev claims he is interested in feedback but any kind of feedback gets brushed off or aggressively attacked/criticized (this is much more noticeable on the kongregate chat). -You aren't allowed to post a list of the secret achievements on the reddit SD forum (presumably because the dev doesn't want people to get easy slurpies?). -Cookies are pointless beyond the first few seconds after each evolution where you assign 1 derp to each cookie job then upgrade the population cap in the other 3 game areas (population, military, science) -Very CPU intensive game with lots of needlessly flashy graphics.

With the lack of new and interesting idlers lately i started playing [url=]The Perfect Tower[/url] It has a decent amount of interesting features and mechanics, a ludicrous amount of upgrades and require a bit of babysitting so its not a very idle idler. It contains one of my biggest gaming pet peeves though, detrimental upgrades. In the later stages of the game you will die if your damage is too high because enemies reflect your shots back at you and your damage output far outpaces your health. Suddenly the game shifts from a pure focus on offensive upgrades (the only realistic way of achieving progress up until then) and to focusing on defensive upgrade (useless until then)

At least Kittens Game speeds up and gets you back to where you were quickly. Things that were extremely expensive or impossible to buy earlier becomes trivially cheap later on. A so called paradigm shift as this thread has dubbed it. Trimps has no such thing. On the first run you get to (example numbers) map 10, you reset, then take almost the same amount of time to get back to 10 but can make it to map 11. Reset and get to map 12. Reset and get to map 13, "oh look a new type of upgrade, this time ill get much further". Reset and get to 15, "oh i guess not". Good god how boring.

Ah crap, so "just equip 5 of the same spell" is not really something that is feasible for most players then. Not sure what the fuzz for "Idle" Mage Attack is. Its incredibly slow progress, needs babysitting all the time and is so complex for what little is going on. Offline progress is restricted to regaining your power after an enchanting or finishing research. No further power or gold is gained.

Trimps question; Highest zone 262, 12,9B helium, running AutoTrimps. I have been running it while afk for a week now and noticed that AutoTrimps never finished Spire, only getting to zone 80 or so. The script leveled only Shield and Dagger to high prestiges, despite my AT settings saying GambesOP to prestige to. All the gear settings are green/on except Buy Shield Block. [Dynamic Prestige z] setting doesnt seem to do much, putting it to a low number or high number doesn't affect what prestiges the script buys. I babysat the game at 199 and left it running on a map so that it got all the highest prestiges then turned on the script again and when it then got to Spire it blazed through the whole thing overkilling every zone. Why isn't the script doing this on its own? My He/hr used to peak at 255 (then everything crawled to a halt while AT kept going to 260 as thats what i had my [HeHr Dont Portal Before] setting at), again because AT doesn't level the various equipment prestiges. AT keeps leveling the gear itself but AT doesn't enter maps to pick up prestiges. Manually babysitting the script at this point and getting all the prestiges let me quickly get to 262. How do i get AT to actually grab the prestiges? Blacksmithery I mastery doesn't help a lot since it only grants prestiges up to 131, which doesn't do much good at 262.

I like the idea of dynamic prestige but once it is past the zone that you have specified in the options it should level all prestiges according to the prestige setting in the AT gear menu. This is not happening and it keeps plodding along with woefully inadequate gear, only really leveling shield and dagger (And for some reason leveling helmet and mace a bit but nowhere near to the levels of the first two, meaning they are still useless)

Sindai posted:One of your other settings is interfering with dynamic prestige, but it's hard to tell which without seeing your full settings. My guess is the one about not farming for prestiges if you already have unbought ones, since I think that overrides everything else. Thanks ill try that. I do see from the graph page that i am getting steadily more and more he/hr after each portal so there is some sort of progress. The runs still stop at 260 though, which is where they stopped ~2 weeks ago as well. How do i get more mastery points faster? That is going incredibly slow. I need 47,9 million for the next upgrade and only get a couple million mastery points per day. Most of the scryer options are enabled in AT.
