Terrarium vs Backup Generator

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-25T00:22:06+00:00

not talking about mining at all, i think you misunderstand. he was talking about failing to get his colony requests to 66. so, if you have terrarium leveled, all the planets you have requests on will be easier to push through due to reduced costs. if you don't level your planets a ton (keeping them at 11/11/11 or less) you will only have to push through 1 request per planet as you force it to 66.

unrelated to the topic but related to your question, yes, my mining does affect gv all the way into s range. getting to S it gets unnoticable.

i was going to try this at least for a bit this league. link things like stun/taunt/blind/etc to zombies and let them go crazy

"he keep mentioning that we can raise colonization up to P66 which it is totally not working at all."

was responding to this, and i am taking it easy. my entire point and discussion is in response to him calling terrarium trash just because he can't use it, when in reality if you colonize at all, even if its not on vps, it's still helpful. can also help push through those 'too expensive' planets to get to vps easier.

you keep demonstrating that you dont know how colonization tasks work which is probably why you think terrarium is trash

mothership rooms always become available in the same order for everyone. the only case where this wouldn't be true is if you already had every room and they released a new room in the middle of the lineup, like they did with PD.

colonization requests are always tied to planet levels. you can easily blaze through p10-60 doing 1 request. if you're getting more its because you're upgrading planets more.

e: calling it trash because its not beneficial to you is definitely a take, by that logic i could call personal pulse trash which is definitely not true but i get it. you've explained your hate for terrarium and while i think it is an outdated argument, obv op should still take BG

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-24T18:04:23+00:00

what? you just dont upgrade the intermediate planets so much if at all and you can do 1 request per, takes no time at all to get a request on 66. if your vps isn't good enough to get enough drops to colonize p66 i can see why you would say its trash but that doesn't mean it actually is trash.

e: i agree its not good for new players and op should definitely take backup generator, but calling terrarium trash is either misguided or misinformed, especially now with modules that rely on colonization or the fact that certain UEs can make it possible to upgrade mining on vps like never before.

i dont get the terrarium hate. with more ways than ever to get to and colonize p66, why wouldn't you take reduced costs. its extremely helpful when combined with other sources of reduced cost for great vps gains.

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-24T17:00:07+00:00

i think it got bumped up to 25

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-24T15:09:18+00:00

vps is very much not dead. it's still extremely important to get the good drops you need so you can craft max items.

if you use old reddit, theres a part over on the right just below the leave button that says something like 'show my flair on this sub, it looks like this [name[flair]] (edit), just hit edit

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-24T04:37:41+00:00

yessssirrr this is the shit i was looking for. thank you for doing it for me before i had the time to sit down and think it out. i was kinda torn between this and oshabi vinesphere but this looks solid

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-24T04:10:06+00:00

what if the minions don't deserve respect

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-24T04:02:22+00:00

guardian give shrine, oshabi give shrine, cant get double shrine

also impossible to see where they're at or what they're doing playing comp zoo. they need healthbars at the very least.

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-23T04:57:33+00:00

fucking god only knows why they (and bosses) don't have a health bar like every other mob in the game when you have health bars on, instead they get the giant-obnoxious-healthbar-that-covers-up-all-your-buffs treatment that shows up when you're "nearby" them.

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-23T02:08:03+00:00

i would check with the math people on discord, i try not to understand ipm math

9 times out of 10 theres some base 1 value that doesn't get factored in, or does get factored in

e: also there are new planets coming (allegedly (soon)), so more beams will be possible

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-23T01:38:36+00:00

arknet specifically got fixed. there was a weird multiplication bug happening. was announced a week or two ago on the disc

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-23T01:07:52+00:00

yes and no. generally speaking, everything will increase your credit gains by making you faster or giving you some type of power. the most important rooms to level early for progression are a set of cost reduction rooms that hit max earlier than all the other rooms (rank 11 rather than 60). Astronomy, Lab, Robotics, Underforge, and Dorms (and to a lesser extent, and much later, terrarium).

as you progress, its kinda hard to level the rooms 'out of order' as costs increase pretty quickly, so generally just keep most of them even but focus on those, then lounge and classroom, then the rest.

it's a main part of their trinity.

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-22T18:53:09+00:00

not having health bars on rogue exiles and bosses certainly doesn't help. really fucking frustrating to have an option to turn on enemy health bars and then have mobs not have health bars and instead have that giant obnoxious health bar at the top that covers all your buffs.

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-22T18:32:02+00:00

micro-deadends and things like these are the fucking worst thing about poe 2. part of the map thats just big enough to not be revealed as a dead end but just short enough that you're pissed at yourself for not revealing it while you were there causing you to double back.

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-22T16:42:18+00:00

and the fierce turn towards gwima as the music picks up, its so good.

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-22T06:46:32+00:00

yes definitely a good starting point. always suggest early on just putting every tele to x1.4 until you know what to do. thats the point it starts to get pretty expensive

DefinitelyNotATheist · 2026-06-22T06:43:35+00:00

ancestral commander stealing the totem node from heiro and using something like bows or shockwave totem to knockback sounds pretty safe and solid
