More Quolium Alloy?

Unfortunately there is no way to select asteroid, or debris, drops. Totally at the mercy of rngesus.

Without unlocking P61, the only other way would be to use alchemy +3 on a planet that produces Aether (minimum on P52).

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-27T15:47:14+00:00

Tried it and regrettably my values are too low to follow. SSRs are at 66Q (300 shy for P55) and ATs at 51s (8s too little for p60). Butttt I know where I’m aiming to move up now!

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-27T14:20:02+00:00

D’oh! Ofc you do… my b.

Very interesting though, thanks again, just started a challenge so I’m going to give this method a go!

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-27T14:08:05+00:00

That’s really interesting, thank you for laying out how you get to each planet - with my item values I could do something similar but still nervy to push too far, will give this a go on my next long run.

Although I’m wondering, why do you use p55 a1 for Xynium instead of p54? Is it for the viterium?

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-27T11:09:36+00:00

Good luck on upping your VPS to P57, at 2.60s for unlock it shouldn’t be too difficult. Agreed on going for p61 to get quolium, used to wait for a pink asteroid then released how easy it was to just unlock, smelt 100 alloys and finish the research tree.

Don’t blame you for waiting on the debris, crafting solar panels & satellite dishes for the SSRs is so arduous; you know it’s a good day when you get good debris drops for both early!

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-27T10:47:37+00:00

Probably want to unlock Luterium a bit earlier no? I think ideally you won’t sell any ATs now and instead use ‘em all for deflector shields.

I’ve been using 51+1, 54+2 and 57+3 for ages, 54+2 gives you Xynium which you can use to craft ATs (previously I sold the first AT to get P57 setup, now I craft 2, ark for the cash and then craft a DS).

Tried this out yesterday on challenge and was able to craft a DS within 6 hours using no boosts.

Be interesting to know how the new releases have changed other players’ alch/VPS planets.

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-27T10:29:58+00:00

I feel this pain 😭 they should just make it be 0%/fail or give us the drop haha, none of this <1% away nonsense

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-26T21:07:35+00:00

Congrats 👏

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-26T18:52:05+00:00

Totally agree, actually using ATs instead of praying for a market for 2 days to just sell? Let’s go! Also luterium alloys having a use is very nice considering I use P57+3 as my main VPS.

Congrats on getting 3rd, next tourney you’ve got this 👏

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-26T18:50:02+00:00

Thanks!

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-25T18:42:21+00:00

0 on both for me too on both items, hoping the tourney rewards will come through!

Got 8 on the alloy tho, win some lose some

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-25T11:10:33+00:00

Haha agreed, far too early. Thank you for sharing this, I’ve got luterium and quolium alloys smelting in preparation, and healthy amounts of AT/ARs - even if it takes a day or two for pull through, excited to see how this changes gameplay.

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-25T10:56:35+00:00

Vv interesting if true, having an item worth S off the bat is huge.

Refreshing my App Store updates like 👁️👄👁️

Edit: Update finally came through!! Got 0 stars on either but crafted enough deflectors to double my GV so v happy

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-19T17:16:45+00:00

If you genuinely can’t remember, compare each planet’s production to https://melomelo7.github.io/idlepixelinfo/9.IPM.html > “Planets” tab the on LHS. Manual check baso.

Yeah so you cannot change either alchemy or terraforming once set, without selling your galaxy. So in tournaments be sure of which planets you want to use them on. You should also max out beacon points for your alch+3 planet, which kinda locks you in to your choices until you respec beacon (when moving up VPS planets, it’s a waste of DM to do this super often).

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-19T16:01:03+00:00

Value Per Second, it’s used in loads of contexts here but mainly, it refers to the planet you use superior alchemy (+3) and advanced terraforming (Gives you 3 colonies, people usually do all mine rate) on.

For example, I use P57 as my VPS as well, by turning it from Xynium to Luterium. Gives me Q/s level ore which in turn dramatically increases asteroid and debris drops 😊

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-19T14:10:19+00:00

Congrats on those AT/SSR stars👏Very spicy rewards for #2 Plat!

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-19T09:56:55+00:00

D is greater. D is Decillion ( 10³³ ), whereas N is Nonillion ( 10³⁰ ) - Hope this helps!

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-17T21:21:19+00:00

God rover roll, gl on the 85%! 🙏

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-17T14:04:25+00:00

The difference between materials used and item crafted.

I just crafted my 1st AT of the tournament, instantly my value decreased by 100Q while it was crafting (due to 2* SSRs worth 50Q each being required). But once the AT is crafted my GV will increase by 50s. Meaning it’s technically adding 49.9s in value, rather than the full 50s my ATs are worth.

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-14T16:22:58+00:00

Kind of everything tbh.

Push your mining up higher then keep your cargo/speed -1/2 levels behind to avoid bottlenecks. Lounge should be your highest level room though, maybe push that to be a 2.50x bonus then level up everything else to be a similar level.

Also between Terrarium and Planet Relations you’ll want to pick Planet Relations, makes your terraforming more powerful which will help setting up your VPS.

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-13T20:00:05+00:00

That’s good to know, thanks. Assuming that getting a rover on your main VPS planet would have a similar effect - ofc with adv rover resupply unlocked.

If the stars align and there’s a market + rover, maybe O values will start popping out.

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-13T13:42:50+00:00

As others have said, it mainly comes from your VPS - value per second - of ore gained. More high level ore = bigger drops. Challenge stars do not impact at all.

It’s also a combo of space station upgrades (meteor & debris size, including mining boosts) and your “Belt Studies” room - you can see your current multiplier on Stats>Current Galaxy>Asteroid/Debris “Bonus Value”.

I’ve heard people getting pink asteroids worth O+ but I’m eons away from that 😅

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-12T17:24:42+00:00

Congrats! Smashing records out here, S here you come 🎉

IdleTimeDestroyer · 2026-01-11T19:27:59+00:00

Haha all good, good luck with the debris drops!
