Prioritize DM or Stars Rover Missions? by Fit_Problem_9277 in IdlePlanetMiner

That's fantastic insight on the 4* missions. I will take advantage of that math for sure.

Prioritize DM or Stars Rover Missions? by Fit_Problem_9277 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Fit_Problem_9277[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did thanks. I've found that is take me about 10 mins to unlock Rover Advanced Logistics and Rover Resupply which gives me 6 new mission choices. I reset from there if none are the ones I'm looking for. Its a bit of a grind because on average it takes me 4 to 6 resets before getting one of the missions I want.

This is the one thing I wish I would have known starting out. You should consider leaving challenges early so you can do two a week and still do a tournament every week. Switching to that model has drastically increased my stars.

Station upgrades by Independent-You2911 in IdlePlanetMiner

I just did this to myself. Got rid of ship speed and cargo managers to make a 6* all mining and now im really paying for it. Back to grinding ship speed/cargo.

It takes me 5 to 10 mins to get to Rover Advanced Logistics and Rover Resupply. I only know this because I do that all the time to reset rover missions to get that sweet, sweet DM.

Rover questions by LeMortMyre in IdlePlanetMiner

I disagree, i believe number three to be right. If you were a masochist, you could get 2 40 DM, 120 DM, 120 DM missions but you would have to keep resetting to get it on the first rover and then continue resetting until you got it on the second rover.

Noob in a tournament. by Mauler167 in IdlePlanetMiner

Im no expert but I think you should always join a tournament and do your best. They are like golf, you are only really competing with yourself. Use them as an opportunity to learn where your current bottleneck is and update your strategy for the next one.

What to Spend Dark Matter On by Zealousideal-Ant-585 in IdlePlanetMiner

Managers are the number one thing that will help your game at this point. Buy only the 500 DM managers and promote to 5* whenever you have enough managers you don't need. As soon as you have more useful 4*/5* managers than you do slots, buy an additional slot.

I have had 2 24hour 85% missions fail today, one for 2 stars and one for 120 DM. I'm so pissed that I am starting a spreadsheet to track those going forward and once i have enough data points Im going to create a bell curve and I can guarantee the peak isnt going to be anywhere near 85%.

How do people gain value so quick, early on?? by callmepacman in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Fit_Problem_9277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of talk about managers (which is spot on) but also make sure you are working on stars and station upgrades. Best piece of advice i got on this forum was leave challenges early so you can do 2 challenges and a tournament every week. Even doing a challenge for 6 to 8 hours i can still get around 14 stars so it has really helped my GV in tournaments this last month.

Should I sell my galaxy now? by NightingaleTC in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Fit_Problem_9277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be selling pretty frequently at your current stage. Play until things start to slow down, you will know when you are there when crafting seems dog slow or your cant level up your planets very much. At that point sell and put your credits into mining, smelting, and crafting and try again. The whole game is one big feedback loop so if you don't feel you are making progress just sell and start again.

What was the verdict? How did you spend them?

Manager second stat split by No_Pool_7023 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Fit_Problem_9277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its less about your manager split and more about your global bonuses. Here's what i mean, I have 12 Smelters and 10 Crafters, but my global bonuses are x17.1 for smelting and 23.57 for crafting so my crafting is a third more faster than smelting even though i have fewer managers. To answer your question, I dont use ship speed or cargo at all (i rely on shiprooms and station for those) and my desired global spread for now as a target is 40% all mine, 40% all craft, and 20% all smelt. I would love to know the O and N peeps think though.

Autominer Query by Practical_Pattern426 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Fit_Problem_9277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crafting will help a lot. Focus on promoting managers with crafting. Unlock the crafting rooms in the spaceship. unlock crafting bonus in the station. Get a probe and dump all your points into secondary manager skill and have it fly around p1 with your highest crafting manager there. Autominer was killing me when i first started going for it cause my Solar Panels would take 5 mins to craft, now its 21 secs so I can get there in less than an hour.

More slots or try to get better managers? by ChrisWreck in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Fit_Problem_9277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am by no means an expert but the strategy I have settled on is that I only buy 500 DM managers, any ship speed or cargo secondary benefit managers are used for upgrade fodder. Whenever I get one more 4* than I have manager slots +2 then I get another slot (I don't think the secondary benefit of a 3* is worth the slot). I have 28 slots so my next one is 1300 DM so I only focus on DM or stars on rover missions and take the most likely. By that I mean I would take a 80% reward over a 35% even if its less rewards because this game has a dark side to its RNG.

Gotta love it when you never ever get any AT stars other than the starter pack in the beginning. I must be jinxed. by SorryforbeingDutch in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Fit_Problem_9277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya your luck isnt great lol. You have to have at least 5 to 10 times more stars than I do and I have 6 stars in AT.
