NGU

According to the wiki I just got enough stats to autokill GRB. Does autokill give items too, or just the exp from the titan?

Are there any fruits worth eating right away, or is it better to harvest everything for a bit to get seeds faster?

NGU

Is there any guidance on prioritizing NGUs/Wandoos

I find myself with some extra energy after the first hour of a rebirth outside of activating fruits and am not sure where the best place to put it is

Right now my bosses are far enough ahead of my adventure that I have access to 3 zones and a Titan that I can't touch.

Sounds like he should be using a variable designed for big numbers if that's what he's going for. Like BigInt (which is slow, but will certainly allow him to do RNG heavy hit calculations on an incremental game scale). Doubles work but we see the limitations of them with NGU's design, and Realm Grinder shows us what it is to try and go beyond the limits of a Double (you reset everything and do the same thing over only faster!) It's lovely.

You can certainly make plenty of games with a double you just have to be mindful of the limits when you are making the game. Doubles limit the scope but you can get several years worth of updates out of it and really does a game need monthly updates for 20 years? The reason a Double isn't a good idea for IA is that it's been out for a month or so and he's already hit the limits of the variable. Needs a complete recode, either with new variables or scaling down the numbers and growth.

If I were in his place I'd just use the library released by the AD guys: https://github.com/antimatter-dimensions/notations

Geez that's a lot of barely documented code. Why can't idle game numbers just be a double for the number before the exponent and a long for the exponent?

Most idle game devs are doing it because it's a low-barrier-to-entry genre and it's babies first game. Many times even babies first programming project.

e: I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just that it informs some of the code quality in idle-adjacent projects.

e: and js doesn't have double or long

I know most of you NGU players are well past this point, but I wanted to point out how insane the energy bonuses on the 2d set are compared to everything you get before.

you are, you are never going to take that thing off. You did get them from sky and not forest right? Because the drop rate in forest is really low they keep dropping in later zones and titans, you never really go out and farm them they are pretty passive, just don't trash can them.

I took mine off but am still leveling it up.

The accessories from 2d and GRB are far more powerful than the pendant for me right now.

I made an autocast script, paste the following in to you browser console. I've only tested it with chrome.

code:

// I shamelessly stole this sleep function from the first google result I saw
function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

// Dislaimer: I wrote this for personal use, so if anyone else uses it and it messes up their game it's not my fault.
// slotNumber, quickslot number of the spell you want to cast 1 through 10
// numberOfCasts, how many times you want to autocast the spell
// castDelay, delay in ms to wait between casts
async function autocast(slotNumber, numberOfCasts, castDelay) { 
    for (i = 0; i < numberOfCasts; i++) {
        console.log("Casting spell in slot number: " + slotNumber);
        console.log("Autocast progress: " + (i + 1) + "/" + numberOfCasts);
        document.getElementsByClassName('quickslot')[slotNumber - 1].childNodes[0].click(); 
        console.log(castDelay + "ms until next cast attempt.");
        await sleep(castDelay);
    } 
}

Example, cast the spell in slot 1 5 times every 30 seconds:

code:

autocast(1, 5, 30000)

Is there a way to automate casting spells?

Nothing built in, but someone posted an AutoHotkey script recently, and I posted a js script on the last page.

My JS script allows you to auto cast anything you can put on the hotbar.

24h rebirths started being really useful for me right around the time I was able to autokill Jake. I feel like that's where the scales tipped in exp gain from titans vs bosses. Prior to that I was doing regular 1h rebirths.

I started NGU and am kind of liking it so far, though I kind of am in a small holding pattern of grinding keys/number drops so I can get those bonuses unlocked and move on to clockwork/maxing the GRB set

I kind of want to start the challenges but how low should I be with the basic training costs before that?

I had my basic training low enough that during my first basic challenge I got all but the last one down to 1.

I had to buy the "1/2 Auto Merge and Boost Timers" before I really felt like it made a difference.

But otherwise yeah, the improved loot filter is A++

# ¿ Nov 14, 2019 19:03

The Fool: Oct 16, 2003

Auto-Merge is more useful now with inventory merge slots.

I don't have the same issues with Auto-Boost anymore, but I currently filter out all but my top two boost levels. I realize that's not the most efficient because those filtered boosts don't get recycled, but it's the trade off I made to solve the inventory problem described above. At least they're still getting applied to my cube.
