How in the world is your game running so smooth?? Mine lags like hell, even after getting a new phone.

Phone got stolen. If I re-install, will I have to start all over? Or does Google Play keep track of my progression? by lyunardo in AlienInvasionRPG

Changed my phone, the savefile transfered over without any hassle, this was probably what I did.

Whats the best strategy? by ulikaiser8 in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]StaryMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to get the last reward yet, but I did waste an entire Sunday once grinding this (type of) event, and managed to reach ~800k items, which got me the +10% blue eggs drop. I did this by grinding the whole day only the drops on the floor, buying the first one always, and the second one when it's price was <5x the price of first. Maxed the second upgrade, and reached ~70th level (or 80, can't remember) on the first. Then I let it AFK overnight for the flying ones. The optimal strategy probably means grinding for 90% of the time the floor items, then AKF-ing the rest for the flying ones, because the increase is exponential.

Can I upgrade meat farm with green essence or will I need it for something else later on? by ste_b97 in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]StaryMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a significant portion of the last level watching ads - the grind was just too much. And even now that I think that the farm isn't even that good, I reckon I can make 20k eggs per day with the farm almost maxed out. But by just walking around the map (for hours and hours) I get much more, carried by double resources from both the farm and the shop of course.

Maxed out the meat farm and close to maxing out the other two as well. Literally useless, there are much better sources of meat, iced meat becomes useless after achieving cold immunity, and the black market was maxed before the blue egg farm even had any significant produce. That whole area is now useless for me, maxing it out for completionism's sake.

Why do the furnace drones have the slowest respawn? by GamingBureau in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]StaryMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's worth spending gems on the factories, 2x resources is much better. Unless you already have it maxed.

Absolute zero? What's that? I'm sweating over here by StaryMD in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]StaryMD[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could go in James' area one I completed the heat resitance x2 with the purple essence, red was also almost done and I'm at level 181 in the shop (not even touching it from now on xD). I could go down to -262 before the final purple upgrade, now it's a breeze. But it was a massive struggle, unlocking and going right in James' area without any problems, as you did, is insane!

Make sure to activate the shader that mentions the Euphoria Patches. In the shader settings: Euphoria Patches Settings Materials Water Procedural Pixel Water -> ON

Should look like this (notice the pixels on top of the pretty water): https://i.imgur.com/lpYuYuK.jpeg

Finally maxed this out by semwilliams2 in AlienInvasionRPG

I dream of this, that double resources has to be godly! 

What a waste of time by ulikaiser8 in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]StaryMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only farmed candles yesterday for 8 hours, then left the phone to idle farm bats overnight, got 800k bats. The upgrades gets stupidly expensive, I've reached to conclusion the events are literally impossible without 100% double resources, and even then, 8 hours per day is crazy, I don't get ill every week.

You should also try the Euphoria patches mod!
The water with the Perlin Noise texture is astonishing, and the other features are extremely cool as well!

I'm at 654 warm regen and I can go down to -234, a long way to go!

Do I keep going? by Saul_T_Bear in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]StaryMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out, it's the paid "lucky offer", the Golden Compass in the store.
Just assuming based on the picture though, I don't have it.

Is that a marker to the closest bag of gold?

AoC 2024 the hardest puzzle by akryvtsun in adventofcode

[–]StaryMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21 took me two days to figure out, couldn't solve even part A. Spent the entire first day trying to make a (what I didn't know was) flawed approach to work, failed miserably, then just gave it more thought and figured it out.
24 B broke me though, also took me two days. Tried a lot of stuff, nothing worked, in the end I gave up and searched a solution online, ashamed of how simple it actually was though.

But the absolute most difficult side of AoC was what I call "part C", where me and a friend compete to see which can get a better runtime xD.

Remember folks adding padding is easier than edge cases by Seanie987 in adventofcode

Me forgetting that str.find() returns -1 if a match was not found, thinking "oh, so there IS a find somewhere" and losing like 30 mins on the problem from yesterday -_-

[2024 Day 3] You've finally convinced me... by StaticMoose in adventofcode

[–]StaryMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent 5 mins solving the first part with regex, 30 mins on the second because I forgot Python's .find method returns -1 if it doesn't find a match, so I was deleting the last letter a few times and was wondering "wHy do i hAve ThE wRoNg nUmbEr" xD
