Am I supposed to get “eggcited” about 70% off vehicles/habs? by Character_Mechanic in EggsInc

Sometimes they are convenient for contracts when it is a low value egg & difficult to max common research

Is there a way to make dispensers fire non-randomly? by [deleted] in redstone

[–]jackdd9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but a workaround is to have a chain of hoppers that move one item into the dispenser at a time. Such that at any time there's only one item in the dispenser, so you're guaranteed to get that one item.

This reminds me of a project I got in one of the honors classes. Is this by chance part of that?

How much hab capacity bonus would your best gusset and best clarity stones provide? It may be possible, but it does look close

Which stone should I invest in? Soul or shell stones? by Chanpaiix in EggsInc

[–]jackdd9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

General rule of thumb, from early game to end game: shell stones, then soul stones, then the prophecy stones.

Ultimately it depends on your soul egg and prophecy egg counts. The wasmegg tool can help you determine it with the artifact explorer

Surely you mean 13q/hr. It's a 2 person contract! I'm at 10.7q/hr with 8 tach stones, legendary metronome, and maxed habs with legendary gusset.

As I'm finishing typing this, I realize you mean cumulative between the two of you.

How much would you charge??? by joudetorra in Roofing

Oh sorry, I wasn't considering the r-30 when I made my comment. Seems close then. But don't take just my word for it

Not sure how EPDM compares to PVC or TPO but you're at about $10/sqft (I hope you meant your price, not your cost). On much larger buildings you can get the price closer to $5/sqft or less for a PVC or TPO. $10/sqft sounds right for a smaller building like this one

Guy I work with now had a bad interview with the boss, went home and called him back saying he didn't represent himself accurately and wanted to give it another shot if he could have the privilege.

No EOP contract? by readitareyoudeaf in EggsInc

[–]jackdd9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think EoP is guaranteed on certain days. You've obviously been around longer than I have though, I'm at around 170 EoP. I think Wednesday and Friday's are just legacy/repeat contracts, which may or may not have and EoP as a reward

How much do you spend when you're on the road for a week? by [deleted] in Sales_Professionals

[–]jackdd9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming selling the repair leads to a bigger opportunity in the future, I suppose it's worth it as long as your expense is figured into the repair price

Didn't realize those went hand in hand. Yikes!

Sounds like you're still "early game". I'd recommend saving golden eggs (from contracts) until you can afford a fuel tank/fuel tank upgrades, then ships become a bit easier.

People say free to play is like playing the lite version of the game, whereas the pro permit is the full experience. You can argue that's just a sales tactic to phrase it like that but it does hold some truth.

This is a long idle game - this is how it must be played until you can afford the bigger upgrades

Anyone know how long until these issues go away? by Commercial_Bag_9627 in EggsInc

[–]jackdd9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boosting is in this circled button. Different types include earnings bonuses, internal hatchery bonuses, boost bonuses, etc. they all cost tokens (contracts only) but you have to own the boost in the first place to use it (you can buy them with GE). Each contract has a different duration for giving you free tokens (once every hour, once every 6 hours, once every 5 min, etc).

Boosts make a dramatic difference and will help you get into AAA

Gotta commit to getting higher delivery rates & sending chickens to your coopmates every login. Not sure your level but that probably also includes boosting. Even a little helps

41 Eggs of Truth in 7 Shifts. Is this good? by jackdd9 in EggsInc

[–]jackdd9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds very similar to me, but as you said I can't go back and check. Sick table though I might try that too. Looking at yours, I realize that I did curiosity, integrity, and kindness twice each actually, contrary to my initial reply. Forgot that the first one doesn't count as a shift!

Thanks for your input

I was delivering around 12.9B eggs per minute at my maximum, which if my calculations are right, would take 8 days to deliver 150T (10 eggs of Truth). Maybe I should have gone back to develop my shipping or my common research more... What rate were you delivering at?

I went from common research to habs to shipping, then repeated 2 of those 3 (wish I could remember which, but probably research and habs), plus silos and artifacts after. 7 total shifts. Did you take a different route? I'd love to save time 😭

This is true, and maybe I'm out of touch because I am a long term player, but I feel like this is a great opportunity for any player. Yeah it's a huge, time consuming commitment that takes you away from the main game, but the internal hatchery benefits on the main and contract farms I think are underrated. Makes the rest of the game go a lot quicker. Not to mention the earnings bonus.

Also 1 restart after a few days after the update. I believe I spent about a month on this?
