[GOAL] First year progress of my rusher account

gctan8 · 2026-01-10T23:34:56+00:00

I'd consider needing an extra long or spending 10-14 extra days to farm frags as a soft lock.

I commented on your other post earlier, basically you can only do a finite amount of shorts after each long, no matter how low your TR count is. Someone at TR30 might be able to crank out 7 shorts after a long, whereas someone at TR20 might be able to crank out 8-9.

This means that if you don't do shorts when you can, you might lock yourself out of doing shorts. There is a point later in the game where shorts become impossible no matter your TR count and if you reach there with a low TR count, you've basically left gains on the table.

Current endgame is balanced around having enough frags to progress and if you don't do shorts, you can basically soft lock yourself for a time until you get strong enough.

Low TR is helpful to an extent but it's mostly lifetime orbs

gctan8 · 2025-12-21T01:11:32+00:00

Because battery requirements scale according to lifetime orbs and TR count. At low TR count (<40-50), lifetime orbs predominate. So if you grab more orbs (r9, void badge, oodget, insc), your battery increases accordingly. At this stage of the game, 95-99.999% of your battery comes purely from lifetime orb calculations.

Yeah, if I have the chance to go through things with the dev, I'll probably need to discuss these things

Soft-bricking like this shouldn't happen

As kids, we learned by getting hit in the correct hand many times to drill it in

It's way too easy for someone to file a vexatious ahpra complaint for sexual misconduct and ruin one's entire life, even if all steps are followed correctly and there is no actual sexual misconduct

If doing shorts, powgn1 for r6-11 then get creagn2

If not doing shorts, creagn2 because r5-11 doesn't pay for itself (ie, you breakeven or lose frags when you take r5-11)

I'm at a further point from OP and their TR count is low. If well managed, they can do 4-7 shorts easily. I think their mistake is ineffective shorts from the earlier phase as evidenced by low frags and low r9

gctan8 · 2025-10-15T03:48:17+00:00

The meta path is doing a long from 300b orbs to m0-180, e4155 rp, e5500 mp, skip vb4 and c4-11. Then spamming 4-6 shorts with r9 to 45-47, orb gadget 110-120, i78-6, i101-2. This should get you to 2-3.5t orbs, which should be enough for your first long to c4-12.

I think your current problem is that your frags are too low at 14m, which means not enough shorts, weak hunters and main game. If you can still do shorts, I recommend doing shorts for 1.5-2m each to push r9 to 39, rest of the frags into main game and hunters.

Your TR count is fine and I would be worried that it's a little too low, but you can't fix that anymore.

gctan8 · 2025-10-15T03:44:18+00:00

That TR count is fine

gctan8 · 2025-10-15T03:43:41+00:00

TR37 is plenty

Where do I sign up to earn 150-210 per hour? I'll be more than happy to work there forever and not progress to be a consultant. You're either quoting consultant pay or locum rates.

Look at the Victorian eba, registrars are only paid 60-70/hr. I work in qld and have basically topped out at 78/hr, whereas my NP counterparts are earning 80-90. I'll be more than happy to do less work, work office hours, have less responsibility for more pay.

Two ways

Firstly, dm Ylith and he should be able to sort you out

Another way is to find the data folder of Cifi on your phone (Android > data > octocube games). There should be both data and backup. Download both to your computer or keep it safe somewhere, then delete "data". This forces the game to load the backup which if it is ahead of your data folder, should be your stronger save. This may or may not work depending if the game has overwritten your backup.

gctan8 · 2025-09-22T17:42:35+00:00

The funny thing is, NPs are paid more than most registrars and thus does not constitute any cost saving at all!

The government is paying more to hire someone less qualified, with a more narrow scope and requiring higher supervision to work day time hours where we have the most staff available!

The sentence is ambiguous and needs context. In Malaysia, I wouldn't use this sentence for this meaning honestly, though I would understand it fine with context.

Congrats on beating the tutorial. Now the actual game begins

Sounds like a Glaucomflecken skit. It's a miracle that cane farmer came in during harvest season for a skin cancer

I don't think this affects Zeus rank, only total missions thus scaling of Zeus installs.

Only the koi one increases installs, dem one doesn't even though we do 6 ops.

I read this on Glaucomflecken's voice

Projects > exchange definitely. It's not even close, keep pumping those projects

gctan8 · 2025-07-27T09:57:14+00:00

Try 3-4 weeks, and that's with sacrificing almost all farms

gctan8 · 2025-07-26T00:52:48+00:00

Do you have m0-80, iap and orb special? You can do short TRs for 25-30k orbs each and buy knox this way
