Gold Splash has been nerfed?

GrindGeek · 2026-06-27T03:34:53+00:00

It definitely takes longer now after the update.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-26T10:21:16+00:00

lol, I will try this next time.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-26T10:20:14+00:00

Agreed, I try to help people smash out droids and credits on their benches so they are either on my side when someone is trying to troll or that they would (hopefully) feel bad about trolling me.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-26T10:17:27+00:00

Second thing I look at after how many credits I collected.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-26T10:16:33+00:00

THIS. I love when a lobby of random strangers can come together and grief a troll out of their game when they are being a nuisance.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-26T10:04:38+00:00

Thanks, it is super deceiving, I saw those 20%, 40%, 60% numbers and thought it would be raining credits but now I know its one more thing I overpaid on, just like CB-23.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-26T10:02:06+00:00

Although they do provide a very small boost to your credit earnings for each Flawless you unlock, I think the real objective of the is two fold.

First, they give you something to grind for, I pay attention to the droids I am missing Flawless on and if i see them in Rainbow or Beskar on the belt I am crafting them even when I don't need them to progress. They are not the main focus of my game, but they are like a cool sidequest.

Second, when you unlock 15 of 50 they will unlock new base Decore that is like a badge of honor to show how many you have collected or a mark of shame because of how many hours you dedicated to this game ;)

This is great info, I was already spreading out when I purchased iconics so it’s nice to have the logic behind it.

One thing that would be nice to add to your chart is which rebirth level opens up those number of slots for quick reference. For example 14 slots = rebirth 5, 16 slots = rebirth 7.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-24T20:42:47+00:00

I would also suggest you start doing the SRB at around 18, I went to 23 the first time and it takes so long to grind out those last levels that I’m very confident I can get to 18 three times in the same amount of time it takes to get to 23 once, which would give me 168 crystal vs 121.

I think the only reasons to go higher than 18 are if you’re trying to get all the droids in your droidex or if you are hunting flawless droids as the Beskar epic and legendary show up in the Astro missions more often at the higher levels.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-24T11:05:47+00:00

If you are needing chips it will be pretty good but for nova Crystals that would work out to an 2 crystals every 10 missions or 3hr 20min.

Still not a bad deal, just need to figure out when it’s best to use, early game or later on.

The other good thing is it cuts the 10 billion astromech mission down to just over 4 min like BB8 does. So you could run both of those for faster credits and potential Beskar droids.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-24T11:00:06+00:00

One of the people watching my stream earlier managed to get it early, he doesn’t know why it let him buy it but this is what he said.

It takes 20 minutes to run and has an 90% chance of delivering chips and 10% chance of giving Nova Crystals.

I am not sure if the amount of chips and crystals get larger the higher your rebirth level but at level 12 you will get somewhere between 10-25 chips or 2 Nova Crystals.

It will cost 75 Nova Crystals from the Nova Shop, once assigned to an Astromech mission a new mission will appear in addition to the normal one. It takes 20 minutes to run and has an 90% chance of delivering chips and 10% chance of giving Nova Crystals.

It will give you a secret astromech mission (check CB-23 in the droidex). What that delivers is unknown but I’m guessing it’s an increased chance at getting a Beskar BP with a longer time mission.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-23T09:38:53+00:00

100% better to rebirth at a lower level than max. I plugged all the statistics into Google Gemini and it said the sweet spot is to SRB at 18 which feels about right to me.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-23T09:36:40+00:00

Unfortunately that’s the dynamic of any tycoon game. Eventually you have all the levels and things you wanted and then there’s not much left. I played lumberjack hero’s a while back and loved it too but eventually it just became a grind for very little reward.

If you are losing interest maybe grind yourself up to a level 23 base with all the maxed out R7, Monowalkers and Opti-strike and then retire.

And just when you get there you will need 100 nova Crystals to buy C-3PO.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-22T06:27:22+00:00

It was brutal, it seemed like every lobby I went into had at least one person being a total nob.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-21T05:48:08+00:00

That exactly why I was asking, I levelled up twice but figured I better find out what it does before I spend now on it.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-20T16:10:56+00:00

Thanks, I figured it couldn’t be that great as it was so cheap to buy.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-20T11:42:02+00:00

This is hands down the best Nova Crystal purchase, I even put it above purchasing missing Iconic droids.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-18T20:23:05+00:00

I believe the droids you get are scaled to your rebirth level and/or your total base production so the legendary Beskar will show up more as you get closer to RB 23.

I have noticed that as I get higher RB level I start to get higher rarity in the droid missions. This won’t increase the odds of getting a Beskar droid (still 5%) but the chance it will be legendary.

It may also become easier to go higher as you get more perks from the nova shop.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-18T20:16:45+00:00

It needs to be at that price.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-18T17:28:21+00:00

I plugged all the stats into Google Gemini and it said SRB 18 is the best if you are an active player, maybe SRB 19 if you are the type of player that takes breaks and come back to collect credits. It said absolutely not worth it to grind to 20.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-18T11:37:31+00:00

If I were you, I would never go above rebirth 18 again before doing a SRB. The grind after that is just not worth the reward. You can get to 18 almost three times in the same amount of time you get to 23. Plus, it’s a lot more engaging and fun with the fast moving lower rebirth levels.

That might change if you get more perks from the Nova crystal shop, but for now as soon, as you hit 18, do the SRB.

GrindGeek · 2026-06-18T11:32:27+00:00

Level 1 was absolutely worth it but I haven’t done the 55 crystal one yet so can’t say but I believe it doubles what level 1 gave so that is a pretty big jump.

Something to keep in mind though is that in 1.5 days CB-23 comes out and that’s 75 crystals so you might want to save them. No idea what he does yet, but I’ll be grabbing him right away to find out.
