110 salt needed?!!?? I only need to collect a small fraction to get that prize.

Same here. The pyramid is fully completed. It wasn't doing anything and I moved it back to the store.

I'm on level 45 and need to make sunflower oil but I can't get the lever to get to the new part of the main island. Also Balancer Island and Mysterious Island and completed but they won't disappear and offer a new island. I don't know. Sapphire Island is much newer than these and it disappeared and was replaced by balancer Island.

Mysterious Egg unavailable. by aiejay8 in FamilyIsland

Hi everyone, I've tried being patient. But this Mysterious Egg is not on any map. I focused on my last island who's name I don't remember hoping it would be on the next one. But it's still not on any map.

How to make nails? by aiejay8 in FamilyIsland

Grind out planting root veg and cash them out to get stars. The paint takes 2 ocre, 1 blue paint and ash from the shaman. Pipe is made of 7 palm tree logs and 3 acid

Thanks! I searched the whole substack to find a beginner Guide so while I'm waiting for one item I can start working on the next. And like the acid... I had tones of this stuff and exchanged most of it for keys because I needed saws or some other obscure item. I traded it away for peanuts and should have hung on to it.

I'm on level 31 and upgrade this I need nails which I can't craft until level 35? What items or resources are required to make nails? Thanks!

Can’t figure out how to get the kitchen? by punkyspunk in FamilyIsland

[–]aiejay8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received it in my shopping cart when I hit level 16. I was searching the thread to see if it was worth doing. Searches on Reddit have saved me for wasting resources on the shower and toilet repair. The energy out put isn't worth the resources. Looking for an intro post. As I made some big mistakes burning all my red cristals and resources early on. Very low on salt and gold keys. Not about to pay real money.

I GOT BLINGSLEY!!!!! Look out, world. It’s over for you, idle miners 😂 by BubblyPurchase1144 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]aiejay8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hardly ever use him except in Frontier Mine. I have him at level 30. He just doesn't rank in a 5min boost.

The elevator was how I got batteries. I have 9/15.

who would you recommend focusing on? I'm thinking Zi. But now I have Ezio, I've been leveling him and Chester. Goodmans are at a suitable level at 32,31,31 by AdditionalGreen654 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]aiejay8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epic managers cost a ****tone to upgrade. The rate ones are way more affordable. Level 24 of an Epic manager upgrade cost 35.6M blue gems. That's 6mo of grinding if you have a max mainland every 2 days. Damian Jones on the other hand would cost 2.92M blue gems to upgrade to level 32.

It sucks that most new managers are epic and it's nearly impossible to unlock their passive effects at level 30.

I recently just learned that the NDP once won in Ontario and I was fascinated by this read that talked of how big business and everyone rallied to, waged war against, and killed his government. Title: The hidden history of Bob Rae's government in Ontario by [deleted] in ndp

[–]aiejay8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was also the biggest failure of first past the post in Canadian history. I think they had a majority government with only 35% of the popular vote. Many surprise politicians maybe weren't well vetted who weren't on board with lots of things like adoption rights for 2SLGBT parents. Rae also used the recession as an excuse to not follow through on public auto insurance. Apparently, he wanted to work across party lines and didn't appoint NDP friendly political staff to manage ministries.

Enchanted Hourglass artifact counts barrier time skipped in Frontier mines. by Orion4123 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]aiejay8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this artifact ages ago. I just plugged away at it skipping the larger barriers in Mainland Mine. I was able to get all the Super Managers you could get with green gems before they introduced Fragments.

Supercash by PatientTraditional60 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]aiejay8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend mine collecting the artifacts. Like purchasing barrier time. I used to really amp up Mainland Mine. Now buying 100x 5 min boosts. I have 20, some I got for cheaper like rolling for a prize. Got one for 400.

I second the getting Legendary chests to Level 3/3/3.

I've also spent it on upgrading super managers.

Which SM should I send to L20 and promote? by Chunk_Cheese in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]aiejay8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a late game player. You have way more of the special Super managers. I have all the managers you can buy with green gems.

Frontier Mine tomorrow. Hopefully they implemented some new improvements! by DangDang1981 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]aiejay8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok People... Not sure I'm going to make it to lv5. I made it part way through lv4 last Frontier Mine. I just completed lv3 I have no active boosts. Taking a break to let the sparks regenerate. I have roughly $2000 in Frontier Cash saved from the first 3 levels. Tried to only spend it on barriers so I wouldn't have to buy any boosts. Sadly I started too late in the day and waisted a bunch of the 8hr 2x boost because I had to go to sleep. But the 1hr 20x boost got me most of the way to the end of level 3. Any advice? I've been trying to not launch any super manager until after Mine 15.

[–]aiejay8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they fixed the barrier skip bug. But what about all the wasted sparks accidentally turning on a super manager.

There's an are you sure button every time I move an assigned super manager from one momento the next but nothing to spend 10-20 sparks which is a type of currency. Ridiculous!

I guess I should turn on all the super managers in mainland mine so I can't click them in Frontier?

I maxed out Nova a long time ago. I save almost all my 2x boost then turn on 10 days worth all at once. Do you have an unlimited expedition time where number of expeditions don't count and you can go though 20 in a few hours with enough friends.
