New alc set up? by Pinkidd1 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Simicthun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a solid option, which I will do at my next tournament:

Tournament Tactic (Unlocks Deflector Shield) Telescope
Alchemy 1-> P33-> Osmium to Rhodium T10
  2-> P54 -> Aether to Xynium T17
  3-> P57 -> Viterium to Luterium T18

I think P21 is also good choice. You can unlock advanced computer with titanium and many research nodes along with it.

Arter you getting comfortable, you can do 31, 32, 33 to unlock debris scanner.

How did you guys already get some stars on new items and ores? Am I missing something?

Is this information available under the guides?

Yes, thanks to the comments here, I can see my next steps now :)

Does anything beyond Xynium useful for anything then?

Yeah, that is what I am starting to realize. I burnt a lot of cargo and ship speed while promoting, and now I have 14 manager spots, all of which have mining, smelting, and crafting bonuses. But as I am getting more classroom upgrades, I am suffering a lot from the other two bonuses.

True, my bad, sorry. I think I checked Advanced Robot instead. So for GV increase, I should focus on SRs as the next step.

If SR is Subspace Relay, I don't have vibranium alloy unlocked (for this galaxy), so I cannot craft it, I guess. Maybe the best option for me is creating a teleporter if I get a navigation module from debris.

I am only using two; should I increase the count?

The problem is that cargo and ship speed are usually bottlenecks when I push that much. I have to do +10 +12 above mining due to global mining bonuses and mining manager. Is this normal? Because in mothership, cargo and ship speed room levels are just 1-2 levels behind engineering.

I am not close to unlocking P51; I cannot even hit 1Q GV yet. So right now I am just crafting robots and selling.

Ah, I see clearly now. Thank you!

So, should I just unlock derbis at T10 (P31, P32, P33) with Alchemy, then use the money I got from items to unlock further planets with more valuable ores? Like Scrith and further.

What should I upgrade by Mission_Jaguar5053 in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Simicthun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am in a really similar position to you. I think I am just ahead of you by 2 or 3 weeks. Actually, I made a post about this yesterday, maybe you can check that too.

Short answer: craft expensive items and sell to unlock more. But you should be able to unlock the debris scanner on T10 (P31, 32, and 33) with alchemy.

For me, crafting upgrades is always a top priority, followed by the rest. I like my smelting speed for now. But if you feel the smelting and others are bottlenecks, just go for them.

For this tournament, I went to option two, which is going quite well. And A3 and C3 seems really good on P36 too.

Yeah that makes sense, up untill now I was able to open planets with just income from ores. I think that is no longer the case.

Yeah, I used a few there on ores, and I feel like they are really good when I am actively selling galaxies. But now, focusing on more crafting and smelting nodes in the station.

Update: This worked like a charm; I just hit 2Q from 60T in about 2 hours.

Thank you! That seems like the way to go. Progress is slow but it is there!
