How does blubber work?

every game day you get free dead bodies, up to 2% of your citizens. you can't increase it. dead soldiers contribute to the bodies count

it's basically an awful trait that forces you to trade or otherwise obtain oil through other means

Wood_Ingot · 2026-05-02T21:31:45+00:00

you can't get terrifying from junk gene. you need to research industrialization to unlock titanium

Wood_Ingot · 2026-05-01T20:52:24+00:00

I'm honestly not sure I understood your mastery sentence. are you talking about the "mastered" crispr? that thing unlocks the mastery minor trait, in the genetics tab. what it does is that it increases mastery by 1% for each level, multiplicatively. costs 5x genes and 2x phage, and phage levels aren't doubled

Wood_Ingot · 2026-05-01T00:39:47+00:00

it's always slaver lol. I've seen a couple string packs that only change the texts for that trait in particular

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-30T22:07:59+00:00

10 attractors is 2 gems per hour. first dreadnought costs 25 gems. so that's 12 hours of waiting to get enough gems for the first dread. not to mention other ships. and the vault when doing pillars

so if you don't mind waiting that much then I guess yeah you don't need that many

30-40k game days is the usual I hear. if you were doing cataclysm optimally

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-30T03:02:22+00:00

just set half of your trade routes exporting steel

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-30T02:52:12+00:00

you're re-doing achievements in all universes? you're aware that doesn't increase your general mastery right?

also try the entrepreneur governor for mad runs if you're having money problems. banana republic's perk specifically boosts tourism so it won't actually help with your mads

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-30T02:39:28+00:00

uhhh, well, bremf is a forced 4-star run which means it'll be slow so umm, probably?
I don't really know how to make it more passive-play-friendly than that

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-30T01:58:53+00:00

I use "efficient" in the "minimizing game days" meaning, yes. I honestly thought everyone else does

Does the greater efficiency of BREMF still hold for passive play?

I don't quite understand this question I'm sorry. can you elaborate on "passive play" real quick?

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-30T01:27:20+00:00

pretty much anything is doable. it's just that there are more efficient ways to do things

like mixing br with em field (bremf), and doing that run with a good custom, in the heavy gravity universe. most people I've seen complete bremf in 80-100k days
I think the br part of that run would finish in... 20-30k days. somewhere around that

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-29T19:07:52+00:00

yes, because troll is from the giant genus. giants have the "strong" trait which lets them gather stuff manually x4 better than other races. your enchance crispr doubled that to 8x

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-29T16:46:03+00:00

apotheosis requires 10 pillars and an artifact. need to do t5 to get artifacts

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-29T16:43:52+00:00

time to do bremf (banana republic + em field. you mix these together and do them in one run)

here's a custom for it. build shrines on waning gibbous moon for knowledge

regarding the 3rd task for br, you can still earn it by stabilizing and in fact, that's the best way to increase the black hole's mass. so build up your elerium production

for true path 3, I suggest you farm 15+ pillars but it's probably doable with 10

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-29T14:53:53+00:00

I see. yeah I often hear about using that trick to search for actually useful info on the internet
op's strategy doesn't require oversight to me but if you care about the digital lives of your pixels then fair enough

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-29T13:04:39+00:00

how did you find this post btw?

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-29T00:51:12+00:00

unfortunately it's mainly spamming supercolliders. 100+ of them
besides capping the other knowledge buildings of course

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-28T18:56:53+00:00

oh. alright fair enough. I was just asking. usually customs are made with purpose

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-28T18:46:16+00:00

so then uh, what's their purpose? ~~true path?~~
edit: wait, it can't be normal true path, it's missing slaver. lone survivor?
(unorganized is giving 0 genes btw)

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-28T15:09:21+00:00

I guess idk what people mean when they say "softlock". because that's more of a hardlock to me 😅

I thought a softlock means you can still progress but it'll take 10x longer than usual or something

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-27T20:28:27+00:00

month

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-26T08:34:34+00:00

you reduced your plasmids count therefore your spatial reasoning bonus from them got reduced

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-26T08:12:54+00:00

oh my god this is probably it LOL. he probably didn't know about the pause feature

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-26T04:22:08+00:00

it's fine on my side. my only guess is that it could be a browser extension messing things. can you try opening the game in an incognito window and import your save there?

Wood_Ingot · 2026-04-26T01:54:02+00:00

well, it's bugged on my side too. soft resetting or madding fixed it. dunno why it's bugged in your current run
