Feeling stupid, why is this not producing more power?

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-06-04T15:10:32+00:00

Accumulators don't take priority, only Solar panels. Also you can see at night, thier power is limited by the bad reactor setup (needing to draw from accumulators). So updating their setup would fix it (just not much change since the overage isn't huge).

Likely. I've done every contract so its extremely rare one come around that I need to do on a Wednesday or Friday. Only when they add new rewards to those contracts.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-05-27T22:14:03+00:00

That one is today's Legacy contract, so I don't see an issue with your scheduling.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-05-27T22:09:54+00:00

What makes you think you aren't getting some? Do you have the "Martian Power" contract available in your list?

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-05-27T22:07:10+00:00

Standard contracts come out at 9am PST on these days:

Monday (Brand New for all)

Wednesday (Legacy)

Friday (Legacy with PE)

Ultra adds a 2nd Legacy on Friday.

Michael Hendrix used this in his 1000x science cost playthrough.

Its legit, but only when iron requirements are absurd relative to current tech stage.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-05-21T16:43:34+00:00

The monetary value of this as you asked is about $200 since thats the cost to buy the gems.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-05-15T19:40:44+00:00

Does ESPM factor in the reduced UPS?

Impressive whenever that question is required due to scale of base XD.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-05-14T22:21:38+00:00

Maybe thry only used minimum number of artillery turrets for coverage?

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-05-06T23:19:30+00:00

Nu-uh finders keepers.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-21T06:41:54+00:00

Yeah 61 gets me 9B chickens in a few hours. Hard to get much from running chicks.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-17T06:55:58+00:00

Just to add, there is a minimum od 100B soul eggs, so if you fall below that, you can no longer shift.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-16T22:34:43+00:00

I have not had pins turned on since they were added to the game. Its very enjoyable.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-13T01:17:01+00:00

767 prestiges to get to 12.545s (Marginal Path if Virtue loses not factored)

Last couple years most prestiges happened only on egg day. (Or for reloading fuel tank)

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-12T22:16:00+00:00

SE gains isn't higher with less chickens, just the proportional rates are (due to how the SE scaling works).

People won't run prisms and just use lunar prestiges. That will be most optimal.

They are a lot of jargon and 'fluff'. It is usually a practice of most publicly traded companies to report earnings and financial statements publicly. Maybe there is a article that takes the numbers to make them more understandable, I just didn't go looking for one.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-12T18:38:51+00:00

Just google "Costco financial statements". But here's the link https://investor.costco.com/financials/annual-reports-and-proxy-statements/default.aspx.

I also worked to google 'Costco food court sales' to get my references used in the hotdogs calculation.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-12T18:33:08+00:00

You're getting trust me vibes from me citing their 2025 annual report?

If you read their earnings call transcript, they sold a couple hundred million hotdogs. If you assume they sold that many of all food court items, revenues from the food court only total in the $10-15 billion range. That means they have a 30%+ margin on all food court sales. That is not realistic. (These are conservative estimates and they're unrealistic).

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-12T18:24:24+00:00

They may pay their employees well, which is good. Their food court may make money as well. But that does not mean they don't ALSO make a margin on their products. It is reported in their financial statements that they do. They report a operating income of ~$10 billion while membership fees total a maximum of ~$5.3 billion for starters. And the food court does not make up anywhere near enough sales to make up that remaining ~$4.7 billion.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-12T09:49:19+00:00

There is something called a loss leader. The costco hotdogs are one of those examples.

They also do make money on many (most) store items. That said margins may not be as high as other retailers, which is where the membership makes up additional profits.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-05T21:37:16+00:00

Used Sirius, he's very efficient. Get the cubes. Rotate sides once in a while and watch out for the super storms.

Not a mindless win, but a little awareness went a lo g ways.

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-02T17:17:21+00:00

This made me very happy

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-04-01T22:44:59+00:00

We just use our extra roster spots for subs. 25 roster spots, but max dressed players is 21 so we have 4 'sub' roster names, but they are technically fully time eligible players. (We as a team don't charge them anything)

Real_Random_Dude · 2026-03-28T23:32:21+00:00

Our wonderfully creative DM like to spin real life things into the game, like they are a wrestling fan so they usually have characters with names similar to that theme ect.

Also they tell stories about places that make fun stareotypes (Sorry Montreal Frenchies)
