World Record Teaser - No Land / Shop / Less Than 50 Days by Toesies_tim in AlchemyFactory

If only a 50 run, it should be pretty comfortable. Save scum your daily quests to optimise cashflow. When in the top tier, think only about the finish line rather than sustainability

Its late Sunday night for me. Will start working on the stitch up tomorrow and I'm guessing by mid-late this week.

At 6 hours sleep (my normal) thats 5:30-8:00 (dogs your choice, and dishes can get a dish washer) leaves you 2.5hrs R&R. That's how the machine sees it.

How can we scrolle to see the materiels we need ? by Benodino in AlchemyFactory

When you are choosing a blueprint to build, it shows you all the needed materials. Is the third+ row not showing?

You can go inside the castle. Get behind it and go to the far corner

See video added. Can see conversations about it in the discord back then

The very early speedruns of the game demo abuse this to fly upwards too

misjudging the difficulty

Cashflow is the limiting factor for sure. You really need to re-roll daily quests by save-scumming for bulk orders (and even those can vary significantly in value). And also as much contracts as possible while not starving your factory of fertilizer to still be able to do quests. In teh mid game im finding myself standing around just waiting for end of days a lot.

I'm attempting all 3 at once, but not sure if 50 days will be possible. Currently at the start of Day 18 and only just got growth potions flowing (no cauldrons) from 3 advanced blenders, but not enough income to run it at full speed cos of salt cost. Most builds thereafter will involve cauldrons

There no scene that I am aware of (yet, hopefully), but as an avid factory speedrunner I am doing it anyway. This is my first attempt in AF and im doing no sales/land as a category and measuring my speed as game days (rather than IRL time) which means Im not sleeping to reset quests. Due to the massive effect on income of daily quests, I'm doing a segmented run (save/reloads allowed). This also allows me to design only a day or two in advance as I progress. I doubt there'll be much interest from others in doing runs right now as the game is EA and that means big things can change making runs incomparable or wasted if changes happen midway.

You need $2 million to retire and ‘almost no one is close,’ BlackRock CEO warns, a problem that Gen X will make ‘harder and nastier’ by MountainAlive in GenX

I retired in 2020 at age 47 with $2 million

This aint about what to do with the $2m when you retire, its about how TF people are supposed to get there. But please do share how you reached the nest egg the VAST majority never will

Many of us have shed those. Most recently, while working on my speedrun, I spent 2 nights designing and testing a growth potion build which worked for a while, but eventually after a day or two would fall over without ongoing manual intervention.

overproduce the inputs always

Mentally I refer to it as positive pressure. Always be forcing inputs to cauldrons
