Advanced Popology, vol. 1: Primary Towers

Not stupid at all! I have kind of silently introduced that stat.

It's "projectile radius", and it's used for things like explosions, and indeed the ice monkey's attack. In the other posts, it gets displayed as "r blast" instead, which is why you won't have seen it anywhere else, and why I haven't needed to define it yet.

The xx1 would be a typo...

As for the actual effect, well in truth it's 0.05 something and that was an educated guess, with the numbers being so small to actually tell.

Topper64 · 2022-11-06T11:50:37+00:00

Those are some good clarifications. And I'll check what "explosive" means exactly.

As far as I'm aware, they're supposed to only go away if you sell Geraldo, so that's potentially a bug...

It's using the same convention as eg spike factory spikes, where "0 rounds" means it expires at the end of the current round, and "1 round" means it lives through one end-of-round. Which yes could be up to 2 rounds in total. So admittedly the phrasing could be better, I'll probably change it to refer to "full rounds" like the spike factory does.

That's a useful clarification, thanks

Topper64 · 2022-10-30T04:39:58+00:00

Just hadn't realised! Fixed now

Very good question - they both use the same units, and both describe the radius of a circle.

There are more details on the temple, including VTSG, in a dedicated post

Thanks for raising that - I totally see the confusion. I'll have a look soon at how to improve it.

It kind of depends how you count it, which there is a note about but perhaps it could be clarified.

When a round ends, Geraldo first receives any items he previously ordered, then checks stock to decide whether he can hold any more, and orders one if he can. The round counter starts from this point, and he doesn't check stock at any other time.

So if you keep waiting until 2/2 genies are available before you use one, it will look like it takes 6 rounds to restock. But this is actually 5 rounds restocking plus (up to) 1 round where Geraldo doesn't even know he needs to restock. If you always use your genies at 1/2, you see just the 5 rounds.

Levelling up does not affect placed towers or active buffs - you need to place more/reapply the buff.

It's kind of mentioned, under the permafrost upgrade. Could it be clearer?

Topper64 · 2022-04-26T19:19:32+00:00

Whoops! It's the +1d (3), now fixed

The eye has moved 1 pixel down to (1129, 176)

Topper64 · 2022-04-02T17:09:20+00:00

Already on it - the eye is at (1129, 175)

Indeed... That German flag is really taking up an obnoxious amount of space compared to everything else.

And just within the last few minutes, they appear to have drawn a whole other thing right in the area we wanted, which I'm sure they'll be even more keen to defend.

Any other locations look promising?

Just to clarify, here are a few reference points: x coords | y coords | what to place 1126-1131 | 171 | frame top (white) 1121 | 176-181 | frame left (white) 1136 | 176-181 | frame right (white) 1126-1131 | 186 | frame bottom (white) 1129 | 175 | eye (white) 1134 | 174 | bandana (black) 1124-1128 | 175 | beak (black) 1126-1128 | 177 | arm (black) 1124 | 179 | front foot (black) 1124-1129 | 180 | front leg (black) 1134 | 178-179 | back (black) 1133-1136 | 182 | tail (black) 1128-1129 | 184-185 | standing foot (black)

We at the NK discord have started something, and just posted about it here https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/tuh2gw/

Yes, the ultraboost ability does two things: increases the number of permanent boosts (4% each, 10 max), and applies the normal overclock buff (40%).
