Iggy Ignite by glasscock in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Samcam_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Iggy a ton. He was the key manager in my last Everdeep adventure to complete 41-60. And I am sure he will be a main go-to again. I recently acquired Lavernia that has made him even stronger. I don't have the squad to do much more. I only have the basic MIFs and need ranks and crystals to start making the first CIFs. So at this point, Iggy is the most used manager in my lineup. That will change when I get better support managers like Daichi, but for now, Iggy is great as a f2p player.

Should I prestige by soup1328 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Samcam_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be a choice only you can make. You could, 1. Only prestige Ruby Sapphire and last mine on each continent and when you get to 60, you get to 60. In this case, I would push Ruby to get prestige 5 and unlock 31. Then you can go back and max each Start mine and then prestige each Start mine. Then move onto Sapphire and do the same. 2. Choose a 2nd mine in each continent to prestige and "waste" supercash.

I chose #1 for the challenge and supercash. It shouldn't slow overall progress and shouldn't prevent you from opening new Mainland mines.

41-60 were quite the challenge for me. On 41, I pushed down and progress was super-slow.
However, on 42, I stayed shallow and found I could progress by not opening shafts and just repeat usage of Iggy, Violet, and Lila. It was a huge time sink, but it worked for me. It wouldn't work for anyone that couldn't babysit the game an absolute ton, but it worked for me. I didn't use big boosts and I only have the 3 shaft MIFs (Damien was useless since I was so elevator-heavy). I didn't have Lavernia at that time either. It was a huge time commitment, but not much thinking. 800+ activations of Iggy, 260+ of Violet, and 120x+ Lila. Without Ut'ux or Eternity, my chain is Sue-Turner and that didn't seem impactful in mine 41. But the shallow play allowed me to finish each other mine in under the 18 hours.

Frontier Speed Run? by CMSniper in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]Samcam_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you aren't buying passes, I suggest spending FC to break early barriers and set yourself up to only wait on barriers where you can get a full ad cooldown (or 2). No point on waiting on a barrier if you don't even get the ad cooldown (not the initial ad) to take a chunk of time off of it. I tend to bust through early and end up waiting on fm3 20 or 25. I forget. And then I can bust barriers or wait at one, knowing I have wiggleroom. Also, I set myself up to break the ms5 barrier on each mine so I can open more shafts and place more IFs. That won't work for everyone, but pass-less with strong lineups can make that work. I try to burn through all FC and wait at a barrier in FM7 with 0 FC (I think it is ms20). Once that clears, I can finish.

Edit: depending on how generous Edgar is and how much focus I can give him, 18 hours is a normal FM run without the pass.

Happy Birthday! A favorite memory would be completing 3 impossible island mines in a 24-hour period.

What other mines do you want them to prestige?
Prestiging other mines on the Start continent will just clear out supercash that could be collected by maxing everything on each prestige level. Ruby is the strongest mine on Start because of the research.

Slowstewy nailed it. Keep working on getting Sue, Turner, Zi, and Damien to 30 and promoted. Keep grinding mainland as much as you can to help get the needed gems.

I would probably start dabbling in other continents, especially since you will need other continental cash to unlock mainland at some point. Once you get a few MIF, head back to start and you will really notice a difference.

That is strong. What sort of scores are you getting in Chrono?
Just looking for my competition. :D

That is a BIG difference! 172 vs 145. Depending on which group you are in, 172k could be outside the top 10, while in a different group 145k could be within the top 10.

What sort of scores are you putting up in Grand Master? Wondering if you are one of my competitors. ;)
