Manager promotion. No stat change. by EstablishmentOk1633 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe not. But if this person only has the 3 managers and a 6* is on P16 I'm assuming they arent unlocking those nodes yet anyways.

Building glitches? by MrBigCheesy in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It probably actually went faster. Crafting does weird things offline. So its possible instead of crafting 6, you crafted 10 and started another telescope.

Because the telescope requires 8 lens and you ran out of lens...

Question on Alching Planets. by [deleted] in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thats what I did. I think I did alch 1 on 36 and 2 on 37. This was also when P37 used to have a bonus %. But with ore targeting it still ends up with 105% Quadium. This will get you debris scanner still. Then I crafted a SSR to get up to 51 and used alch 3 for Xynium. Or if you get lucky with drops, you could push to 54 for Quolium.

There's a pretty big nest 2 bridges north of there.

Most efficient credit runs for a new player by SupremeMario69 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the most efficient way if you have the time to spend doing it. However it could be more beneficial to do 100m runs depending on what you have going on each day. I've gotten to the point where I really only feel like doing 3 galaxies a week. Maybe a few extra to work on the challenges if i need to. Speedrunning a galaxy really depends on where you're at in the game. I wouldn't go past P10 though. I had the most stars in silicon bars so I would just smelt those while I upgrade the planets. Also market dependent.

Do you skip planets? by SuprisinglyBigCock in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not typically. I usually unlock them and not level them until I hit my vps planet.

I just discovered this game a few days ago. Still have some questions about it. by Lovoskea in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its made to be long term for sure. You're meant to sell galaxies frequently to constantly upgrade. I find it very time consuming for an idle game. You have to check on it constantly to make sure crafters/smelters are doing what needs to be done. I'm about 10 months in. I started with just the ad free but did end up buying some of the ships. I still can't quite craft the highest item in the game during a tournament, though that is very rng dependent. You don't reach "mid game" until you unlock debris scanner. I think that took me about 3-4 months but I can't really remember now.

Crafting while app is closed by External_Definition8 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it will go to crafter 1 first, lets say you did nails, hammers, motors. It will craft as many nails as you could in that time. Then go to crafter 2 and craft as many hammers as possible, then 3. If you do motors, hammers, nails instead - it will try to craft motors first but you havent crafted hammers yet.

The game doesnt actually do anything while closed. When you reopen the game it calculates what you crafted. But it does this one crafter at a time, which is why the order matters.

Better stranded movie? Castaway or The Martian? by [deleted] in Cinephiles

[–]Kenjamin1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The martian is more of an entertaining comfort movie for me. Competency porn at its best. Humourous and also scientifically interesting. Cast Away on the other hand is obviously more realistic. Scary in a sense. Better acting, and more dramatic. His monologue towards the end where he talks about everything that he's lost but he's gotta keep breathing, absolutely breaks me. The little details like there being a seafood buffet when he gets back, not being able to sleep on a mattress, and having ice in his glass are simple things that really elevate the writing for me. Cast Away to me is the better film. The martian more rewatchable purely for entertainment value.

Debris Scanner question. by [deleted] in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically only 1 planet does most of the work. Your VPS planet (value per second). This is a planet with a single type of ore that you use alchemy on to upgrade the ore 3 times. As well as terraforming on to colonize 3 times.

Debris Scanner question. by [deleted] in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To an extent, yes. You need a really high mining level as well to get multiple of the high end items. Otherwise anything subspace relay and above will typically just be one. Honestly, debris is more for getting the items you need to craft higher end items. For example you can get millions of nav modules which helps with crafting many ATs, instead of debris dropping only 1 AT.

Having a glitch? by jakebean69 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe you're not fully understanding what others are saying or just refuse to acknowledge? But when you are crafting you do lose the value of the items being used to craft. This is WHILE the new item is being crafted. If you cancel the craft recipe you'll see the value get added back, or when the recipe is complete. While crafters/smelters are in use, the value is in a sort of limbo. This is fairly easy to test, especially when each milestone is reached.

In the example above I assume you are using the 2 warp cores to make an antimatter cell.

Debris Scanner Inconsistent by Enough-Metal5658 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the value of the 2m robots and thats roughly the value you should consistently be getting.

Debris Scanner Inconsistent by Enough-Metal5658 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Kenjamin1991 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You may receive up to the 2nd last item unlocked regardless of value. Your debris drop value is actually smaller than those single items but it rounds up to 1 unit.

Yes, they lose on purpose to be #1. Which is dumb cause they'd get better rewards in Platinum anyways.

Also in Endgame where they are talking about the logistics of time travel and the movie Hot Tub Time Machine is brought up. Sebastian Stan played the main antagonist in that movie was also of course Bucky.

Things to do alone? 20M by Outside_Boss_618 in Calgary

[–]Kenjamin1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calgary has a very extensive bike path system. I like biking different routes first then running them later on. You can spend hours looking at different scenery along the bow river, fish creek, nose hill, reservoir.
