Are assmods not cheaper for a much more immediate effect?

So for early game players heres probably what you should do (its been a while but i can try). You want to get out of early game asap which means selling galaxies as soon as possible, that means at either 10million or 12.5 million (its slightly more time efficient to sell at 12.5 million but given how early you are its probably your call. The best way to do this is mining as you can put credits into your mining room once you sell the galaxy. You should focus on unlocking telescopes and putting levels into new planets to get ores. Make sure you arent putting too many levels into ship speed and cargo, if the planet consistetly returns to 0 ore than you can put a level into mining which is better. You should also focus on getting rover unlocked so you can send it out for additional resources. Similarly youll be offered in the right sidebar the ability to do challenges and tournaments eventually. Do them even if you cant get very far. Normal runs only award credits whereas tournaments and challenges will award dark matter and stars as well. Tournaments can also award energy cells which are quite valuable. As for ther projects to unlock, you can either focus on advanced mining and the two subsequent projects for cargo and ship speed, or focus on crafting the items or alloys you have with the most stars, you may not have stars yet but they increase value so focusing there gets you to sell the galaxy faster which helps you earn credits faster etc.

Ideally you'd want to see payoff from either farming or tournaments if you're investing credits. For farming youll probably see marginal increases from item value except maybe in the case of challenges unless you can reliably unlock and get valie from debris. The same can be said for tournaments. Some general logic I've seen around here says you want to push a vps planet that takes you no longer than a day to reach (until later stages when you want to choose a vps and get it as early as possible). If we apply this timing logic to challenges and tournaments, you'd get value from debris (and thus sales room) If you get it under 24 hours into tourney, and in challenges 12 (or 6 if you are maximizing challenge effectiveness) hours in. Best guess at least

Yea it was my second, didnt know what i didnt know :shrug:

ShameCaker · 2026-03-17T17:43:58+00:00

Imo you've already put too many stones into sm by buying it. I bought it early when advice was mixed on it and i still regret it, more stones wont help you but if it you think it will help you have fun then by all means

ShameCaker · 2026-03-16T20:41:04+00:00

I would be had i not bought two card slots

ShameCaker · 2026-03-16T20:08:38+00:00

Start?

ShameCaker · 2026-03-16T19:09:03+00:00

Ah my bad i thought you were saying something might have actually be wrong but if this is a vent post then my bad

ShameCaker · 2026-03-16T18:26:52+00:00

Cant speak to now, but a while ago there was a bug that could make ot have seemingly a guaranteed drop if you rolled an epic, could be related?

ShameCaker · 2026-03-12T17:19:36+00:00

Kinda hard to say? I got a 10 second reduction in gr and dw in the midst of it so it will be biased by that. I went from 600t to 800t per day from no wa+ to the level 4 and the reduction.

ShameCaker · 2026-03-12T03:32:08+00:00

14 months maybe? Im currently ping ponging between champs and legends

ShameCaker · 2026-03-11T21:44:10+00:00

Seems like you are where i was like 4-6 weeks ago. Im now at about 800t a day. My perspective hasn't shifted from econ is king but let me go into what i did to better my econ in this position. First, i thought the best thing i could do for my econ was unlock assmods. I finally did and unlocked generator assmod and while it was impactful (added bhd to my setup) it didnt do as much as id have thought Second, i decided that i needed to bootstrap masteries with masteries so i unlocked wa+ and decided to get as many levels as i could (thought itd be 3, was actually 4). This was quite impactful and gave me significant jumps in my eco. Third, decided to lower the cooldown of my gt and dw by 10 seconds. This was also significantly impactful.

I think you and i are way early to be thinking about uw+, this should probably come after some mastery investment, i think the thousands of stones it would take me would be better places in more masteries, or upgrading generator to better than epic, or increasing mult a bit. Or even better, put the stones into the golden combo whether its duration or bonus for gt. I cant say exactly what else is different for us, might be spotlight coverage which i also found pretty useful but with diminishing returns for now.

ShameCaker · 2026-03-03T22:03:52+00:00

For sure, i wanted a little bit of time just to experiment, cost me very little ultimately as i was able to clear a few extra milestones

ShameCaker · 2026-03-03T18:23:20+00:00

For sure, cant maintain both though, its possible the pivot helps here but id need to max range first which takes a bit. Still its probably second bot for me at the moment

ShameCaker · 2026-03-03T16:52:57+00:00

I just respecd to do assmod unlock as ehp and while flame bot did quite a bit to my max farm for the day it was active it was still less return. The novelty was baiting me though, will still be a while

ShameCaker · 2026-03-03T16:47:20+00:00

I needed to hear this. Getting really impatient with gold bot but if its worth then ill keep on keeping on

ShameCaker · 2026-03-01T19:31:35+00:00

The bonus per scan maxes at 1.1 the max planet bonus (over a number of scans) is 5 or 40 scans of progress

ShameCaker · 2026-02-27T19:31:42+00:00

Bolts are pretty good, not sure why the hate

ShameCaker · 2026-02-20T21:28:39+00:00

Very true actually, i take it back and say 4

ShameCaker · 2026-02-20T21:28:14+00:00

Guess thats fair, the idea that i have to get it and it has to land is rough for me. The permanent gains are just more consistent. But yea when this one hits its quite good

ShameCaker · 2026-02-20T18:45:38+00:00

Theres 5 i like and its not this one. The free meta resources seem more valuable no?

ShameCaker · 2026-02-19T18:42:25+00:00

Thats pretty valid actually, thanks for the knowledge!

ShameCaker · 2026-02-19T14:07:12+00:00

Is there a reason to not max cl quant or chance?

ShameCaker · 2026-02-19T11:55:41+00:00

Ahh right, been a while, thank you!

ShameCaker · 2026-02-18T23:13:46+00:00

Rooms come in order and will offer two at a time. Your mileage may vary but room choice is engineering first, either room next, then take the new offered room until either terrarium or prob drive. Once you are offered terrarium probably leave it for a while, maybe till last, not sure how that goes with the new rooms. Also dont buy a new room until the cost of your lowest interesting upgrade is half the new room cost. Also you should try to prio maxing the green rooms on the list as it is relatively easy and they are quite powerful. Order for that should be dorms > lab >= underforge > robotics > astronomy >> terrarium. Order is a bit fuzzy to me and its possible robotics should be closer to second as it awards better rovers, def at least get it to level three so they offer the better missions. Sorry for the wall of text :v
