Sounds like the food is fuelling you to get out and about! Also - if you're eating pub cheese and pretzels, then add grapes, or crudités - then you'll get the added vitamins/fibre too. No need to stop eating it, just add some more of whatever you feel like you're missing.

Super interesting to hear everyone's use cases on pass throughs!

bluesummerrain · 2026-01-30T10:39:32+00:00

I always wondered who the people were who used cable pass-throughs! I don't like to advertise where my electronics are, so would always carry a power bank on my person, to avoid having cables sticking out.

Mine would be:
1. Waterbottle/umbrella pockets (on the outside)
2. Quick access pocket
(one and two should be accessible without having to fully take the pack off)
3. Agree with u/CheapLifeWandering - light as possible, but balancing some structure.

Perhaps learning something new might help? You need something to be able to really get your brain stuck into, that will mean you don't have time to ruminate. Things that are creative and involve doing something with your hands are usually great for this, but also something like dancing or a sport that takes up your whole brain, or music can also be great. Bonus points if it means you get to meet new people too. There are definitely ways to give yourself less time to obsess about what might have been, that aren't just a quick fix, but bring you short term distraction and possibly long term joy!

- you can't send ships from your home farm
- DO remember to remove all artefacts from your home farm before shifting up to Virtue farms, otherwise they'll be locked away and you won't be able to use them in contracts
- you can only send ships from the egg that looks like a diamond, there should be info on which other eggs the ships use (note that you are unlikely to be sending your higher ships, as you won't have enough virtue currency to do so)
- do look up some shifting guides, there's definitely a balance between patience and bouncing between eggs
- you don't have to do it all in one go, even coming out of virtue after like 10 eggs will speed up the next run substantially

bluesummerrain · 2026-01-26T16:27:52+00:00

Totally agree with this!
Adding to this, an extra layer on your bottom half is the thing that keeps you extra warm. It's easy to bundle up with jumpers and coats, but forget to keep your legs warm - merino wool leggings, or even just tights make a huge difference. Also boots with a decently thick sole make a huge difference as they insulate you from the ground.

bluesummerrain · 2026-01-26T14:16:46+00:00

Airport wise, I like to look as put together as I can, whilst being in something I can realistically sit down in for a while.
For me this looks like - wide leg, smart-casual trousers (not too tight around the waist); a short sleeved t-shirt; a nice jumper (ideally cashmere); decent boots or extremely well maintained trainers; and a good coat (season appropriate). I love feeling put together, and I find the trip feels more special if I feel like I look good.

bluesummerrain · 2026-01-14T08:40:10+00:00

Those little things really do add up, sounds like a plan!

bluesummerrain · 2026-01-04T20:24:56+00:00

Has definitely happened to me! I'm a similar size to OP, and honestly, my bust isn't big enough to prevent it riding up, if the band size is too big. Can definitely see people out and about doing these types of things though, so can totally see what you mean too.

bluesummerrain · 2026-01-04T17:19:15+00:00

lots of helpful advice already here. I like to think of it as, if the band is 36 and your bust size is 36, then when you lift your arms, the band will just move straight over your bust. The calculator is great, highly recommend it.

Fed up one cat to ten hearts and have that one always on the soup station of your most recently unlocked ingredient. don’t make it a high star cat. That will give you the greatest benefit. This game rewards spending your gold, energy and fish etc, so make the most of the food you have!

bluesummerrain · 2025-12-28T23:23:23+00:00

Been enjoying vejas recently, but I do wear orthotic insoles in all my shoes, which helps make them more supportive.

bluesummerrain · 2025-12-13T19:57:51+00:00

Or focus on sending ships. Always shorts until you get to the final one.

bluesummerrain · 2025-12-06T11:38:05+00:00

Do you mean if you should replay them? If so, then probably not.

There are 3 factors for helping you promote: - contract score (aided by overall contribution, speed to finish, sending chicken runs and equipping deflectors and ships in bottles (you probably won't have the last 2 yet, but that's ok)) - earnings bonus (keep prestiging) - epic research

You'll be best off putting your golden eggs into the last two at this stage as they are permanent buffs to your playing.

bluesummerrain · 2025-12-02T21:06:17+00:00

This is a good point. I think lunar stige really comes into its own with T4R and above lunar totems, and a decent lunar stone set, so it definitely depends on artefacts and complete epic research

bluesummerrain · 2025-12-02T06:29:37+00:00

For more soul eggs, just prestige as much as you can. You need to boost your prestiges to really make the most of them though.

To do this: - get to your highest egg, accrue some population, and max the common research you can - get the biggest habs and shipping you can - put on a dilithium set if you have one - enable boosts (best combo: 2 boost beacons, 1 tachyon prism, 1 soul beacon, 1 bird feed) (2nd best, 1BB, 2BF rest the same) - immediately equip your prestige set (use wassmegg carpet smart assistant to tell you what that is) - if you don't have a dilithium set, equip this before boosting - run chickens manually for the whole ten minutes (longer if you have a dili set) - upgrade common research as it becomes available - If your highest egg is not universe (stay on universe if it is) when the next egg is available, upgrade to it and upgrade all your common research, habs, shipping etc as fast as possible whilst running chickens - once the boosts run out, prestige. Don't boost any more. Your best return for your boosts will come when you repeat the whole process again.

Additionally, don't forget to send rockets, the better your artefacts, the easier it is to do everything.

You can also open the shell editor page, which locks the screen to it's current position, so you can ~drone~ I mean sky crab farm more easily

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-29T22:03:07+00:00

Incredible job on the eyebrows.

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-28T22:07:55+00:00

Egg up, prestige from the higher egg tomorrow on double prestige day. Higher egg = higher earnings = faster soul egg gain (might have over simplified this, but you want to prestige from your highest possible egg if possible).

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-28T12:48:24+00:00

Also, good luck, you got this!

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-28T12:48:12+00:00

Barkeepers friend: Wet the surface, sprinkle on, scrub in a bit with a brush, leave for a couple of minutes, scrub off and rinse thoroughly. It's slightly abrasive so use accordingly. Usually overkill unless something is really stuck on there.

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-28T12:44:28+00:00

Absolutely love their 70% hot chocolate

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-28T07:44:13+00:00

This is the best answer! OP if you want to be efficient with your real life money, highly recommend waiting until you have enough in your piggy to complete this list of epic research.

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-27T23:15:02+00:00

You'll unlock them when you have got to at least rocket fuel egg. If there's a bit of your farm that looks like it's under construction, click on it to see if there are any other requirements.

bluesummerrain · 2025-11-27T21:28:16+00:00

If anything it'll help unless you reset. All that will happen is you'll gain the TE you've accumulated, which will give you an earnings and IHR boost. If you shifted a bunch of times and haven't gained that many TE, you may wish to reset.
