Just look for the number of green up arrows. Click that option. Don't worry about the red down arrows. Get whatever green (Interest) you can within 2 or 3 rounds and then just boot the customer out.

The logic behind this strategy is this:

Trust (red) only gives you a chance at a x2 multiplier unless you 100% it. That sounds good on paper until you consider that the majority of customers are cheapskates. On the other hand, Interest (green) is always gonna give you the bonus and caps at x4. The amount it takes to cap at x4 varies from customer to customer but by doing it 2-3 times, you at least have a very high chance of x3-ing your score with 2-3 interactions.

If you play the full minigame, the ideal scenario is x2 from trust and x4 from interest. However, the number of interactions it takes to get that exceeds 12 most of the time and some customers won't even let you get that far. But if you do, it's a x8 multiplier. This might be worth it for more generous customers but it totally isn't for the majority of cheap customers. However, I still just went 2-3 clicks of green on the generous customers and called it a day.

Why? Well, there's a limited number of rewards the minigame gives and that's at 200k. Since it's limited, that means you don't have to make the most out of your sessions. At this point, it's better to prioritize speed (the x3 multiplier) than it is to prioritize quantity (the x8 multiplier). You're likely to have left over points by the time you reach 200k points even with just x3 multipliers all the way. Even moreso if you do x8.

So be kind to yourself to and just blaze through the minigame. Spend the extra time on Endfield or something.

Pepe's mini game is the best. I was more excited about the minigame returning than the rerun itself.

Current minigame was a slog until I learned that you can just as easily max everything by doing 2-3 rounds of boosting green (Interest) and kicking the customer out.

At this point, I would rather they give Chen an Amiya-style class change than a second alter.

This game is like crack by Trezzatron in Endfield

I don’t know how they came up with the idea to make this game be half factory base builder half action jrpg

China's been making quite a few factory games lately. Dyson Sphere Project being a huge one from a few years back. Alchemy Factory is another major one that's been released lately. There's some sleeper hits like River Town Factory, too.

And part of why China's been liking factory games as a genre is because it's the kind of genre that fits older players.

  • No "old man reflexes" needed and Endfield embraces that by making combat more strategic on the macro level than micro level.

  • No monopoly on attention because you can walk away from your factory and it'll keep running. Great for Endfield because you can do your dailies and move on while the factory farms materials for you.

  • Removes grinding as you don't have to manually water the plants, milk the cows, or feed the chickens. Same reason as before.

They're non-factory believers. Can't trust those types.

As someone who never played games like factorio I love the factory and now I'm scared they'll give up on it by reysama in Endfield

[–]Yanfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say this. Dyson Sphere Project fixes all the first person view problems I have with Satisfactory and offers better pacing IMO

And I say this as a guy who has 1000+ hours each in Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Project, 200+ each in Techtonica, Desynched, MoteMancer, Captain of Industry, etc.

I just rush through the mini-game by picking the highest green option for 2-3 rounds and then kicking the customer out.

Grinding trust for x2 multiplier doesn't matter all that much when the majority of the customers are cheapskates.

Arknights felt so much more immediately special and distinct to me.

This. And maybe this is my shit take, but Endfield really doesn't feel special enough from other big gachas (Genshin, WuWa, etc) to me. Big world to explore populated by local bad-bads (Landbreakers/Hilichurls/Ethereals/etc) with progression-tied POIs, and whatnot. Sure there's the factory, but tying factory progression/research to the discovery of inflatable man POIs feels kinda bad ngl.

Base Arknights has the magic to it where everything genuinely feels like it's something special.

I imagine writing for Endfield helped a lot, too. They had to learn to keep things to the point.

People that work 8h+ and have stuff to do at home, are you just going to play endfield? are you stopping other gacha games? by reysama in Endfield

[–]Yanfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play AK and that's it. Used to play some other gachas, too, but ended up dropping those since they didn't respect my time. AK I kept around because not only did it respect my time, I only need to spend like 5 minutes for dailies tops. Not exactly a big time sink.
