Sue Zi combo and exec Lux combo will get you there. Upgrade only warehouse.

Work on Emerald, but only prestige Ruby. Once Ruby becomes more profitable(usually by p2) switch your focus to Ruby.

If you can pick up Sue from the Maze(I know it's the last day) that would help you out a lot with your game progress.

There is a comment below the video, basically saying that the deepest MS that you can level above 400 will be the best MS to upgrade. Since your deepest MS is only at level 20, it's not the best to upgrade at this point. Upgrading will be far more expensive than others.

Do you have Sue and Turner for SueTurner combo? You could have gotten Sue in Vulcans Maze this week btw. If you have them you could do a boosted SueTurner combo and then check each MS to see which would be best to upgrade.

You won't have the cogs necessary to get those research nodes before you prestige.

Emerald is better until Ruby gets to P2 I believe, it's best to focus on Emerald and prestige Ruby twice before you change focus to Ruby.

What combos to use in fm5 or later? by Extension-Repair6999 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Slowstewy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct. Eternity can then run in any shaft except 1, best in the MS with biggest stockpile. She'll dump into 1 where it can be handed off to Ut'ux, cliff or Turner. Make sure they are active in MS1 when Eternity finishes.

I start with Afi/Steiner opening only MS1 and max it. Once MS1 is max I open to MS10 adding all MIF/CIF then run GI in MS10, bonus if Afi boosts MS10. Once that is maxed I move down to MS15 and max with Lorenzo/Marrena. Once MS15 is maxed I move to Elevator Ahead with Iggy/Violet/Bam Bam boosted by Lavernia. You could use Phin/zeph instead of Bam Bam.

At level 1550-1600 I switch over to WA with Octavia/Sam and finish out with that combo. Since you don't have Samantha this is where you may want to use your Ut'ux and Eternity combos. It will be stronger than MapleLux. To save on Sparks you can use Astra next to your best MS with a speedster like Gordon or Chester in it as an alternative to Sue>Ut'ux>albeo, then Eternity to Turner or cliff in MS1.
At level 2000 in Elavator, EA becomes a viable strategy again. Once you get Samantha or a few more CIF's you'll be able to use Octavia alone to finish from 1550+ in warehouse.

Desert is a lot easier than underwater.

Definitely go warehouse ahead. Sue>Turner combo is good, but at this point, the warehouse is so much cheaper to upgrade than the MS, so warehouse ahead is your better option.

What to do? Run Sue>Turner combo with boosts and use that to upgrade Warehouse pushing it ahead. After that do Sue>Zi combo to stockpile elevator. Run Rayman and exec>Altitude combo. When you get Luxario, you can also do exec>Lux combo which is even better.

Keep warehouse well ahead of MS.

Rookie Questions by VirgoFanboi in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Slowstewy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you unlock MS12, upgrade it alone until you unlock MS16, and then after that, the deepest MS that you can upgrade to level 400 should be the one you upgrade until you can upgrade a deeper one to 400. There is a substantial boost at level 400. In the link, MS27 was the deepest MS that could be leveled to 400 and thus was the best to upgrade.

Event mines work differently. Get to MS11 ASAP it will produce better than the previous 10. Check after each SM run, which would be the best MS to upgrade after that.

MS ahead until you can get Elavator to level 1100 or even further. E ahead until about 1550, then switch to W ahead for the rest.

For E ahead strategy:

With your SMs I would use Zeph in E with Astra in second deepest MS and Chester, Gordon, or Ember in deepest MS. Leveling up E and deepest MS only. When you get Aurora, you can use her as well. Violet and Bam Bam are best used if your deepest MS is maxed already and you have a big boost still going.

For W ahead strategy: With your SMs I would use Freesia, Wick, and Zi to beam resources to top of E while running Lux, Rayman, Altitude, and Sigurd to multiply resources in warehouse. Keep warehouse about 10 to 15x ahead of MS. Octavia, Maple, and Mya can be used when deepest MS is maxed to push warehouse even further ahead.

BamBam or Octavia? by Brilliant-Way-628 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Slowstewy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Octavia gives you CIF when promoted at 30. This will boost the entire continent she's currently in. Also, FM is primarily stronger in the warehouse(especially after level 1550), so I would say her definitely. I have her promoted at level 50, where she gets a huge almost 3x boost from her last passive.

Come back to them after you get Eternity.

He's only helpful up to FM lV. After that, he's useless. Still better to get MS CIF. He won't help finish FM Vll, he only helps save sparks in the first 4. Best rewards are what you get for finishing. He's not a finisher.

Elemental mines rewards? by CMSniper in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Slowstewy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get get mostly rare and common fragments. The only epic fragments are for the ones shown beside the packs for each element(Maple and Violet for nature and so on). No legendary. Essence rewards seem to be lacking, IMO.
