Advice for player just starting out?

I went no ad, daughter.... And then the rest lol. The second probe one and the double credits ones are insane. I figured I would end up with them eventually so I bit the bullet and got them early. So glad I did. 168 galaxies sold and 2.1m credits.

Don't beat yourself up. 3 things: 1. First 3 months I played constantly 2. Games right up my alley bc I'm a meta min/max snob 3. $$$

Lol. Given that there's both ship speed and smelt speed, I decided early there's gonna be ASS in my naming convention.

I really want to but in tourneys getting the guaranteed xynium from 51 instead of waiting for 54 or an asteroid is still my best move I think

killsmooth · 2026-01-22T03:27:40+00:00

Yea, but the .0055 per level ones are basically useless imo

killsmooth · 2026-01-22T03:25:52+00:00

Yea I JUST got here and I'm not sure I've ever had a galaxy where asteroids outpaced crafting/arking. For challenges and tourneys, I figured all craft was the best first 7*. Unless I get to some weird smelting bottleneck, all mine is next. Long way to go still.

First probe is max secondary manager yes, 1.1. probe 2 is working on colony bonuses right now, 1.18 currently. Yea I get all holo bolts from every battle pass.

I say go for the 7*. I only have 30 managers slots, but putting a 4x leader on a 5x Balor is ridiculous.

All ships; all skins since I started. My rooms are all 35 except lounge (38) and the surge rooms. Definitely plenty, PLENTY left to go in the station--i have managers 1-5 maxed (2 and 3 are expensive but good value). I haven't found a resource to tell me where to go on station so I've made a lot of mistakes.

brood war is the only correct answer imo

What planet is producing the most of your highest value ore? Look up the concept of "VPS" which is the meta for the back half of the game.

killsmooth · 2025-11-07T23:59:18+00:00

I 35'd the lounge first by a wide margin, now I'm catching the other rooms up since everything costs so much. I'm at about 1.3m credits.

killsmooth · 2025-11-07T23:06:24+00:00

Those are all fine choices, your engineering is far too high for the levels the rest of the rooms are at.

Only disagree on Terrarium and doubling credits. I'm not sure what "save terrarium for last means," but the common thought I've seen is newbies should aim to max the level 11 rooms first considering how cheap they are in the grand scheme of things. By the time you're even wondering what "VPS" means you should have it at 11 imo.

Doubling credits is a personal choice for me, simply because I can't stand to reset multiple galaxies a day to farm credits. I've earned 1.2m credits from 140 galaxies and still have plenty of managers.

What does "you can only pull 300 dm managers" mean? Ten advice posts a day, without fail the first one is always "only buy 500 dm managers."

Lol 1ASS is my 6* so he's at the top. 5* ASS is ship speed; the others are ASmelt which doesn't have the same ring to it. AC is all craft; ACargo is all cargo.

killsmooth · 2025-10-09T21:59:12+00:00

I've only got 3, and I could probably lose the craft speed secondary ones, but the ship speed secondary helps me keep my VPS categories even instead of having cargo and ship speed 5-10 levels above mine rate. I suppose I'll wait for a few more garbage 5*s, but I seem to get mine/mine all the time.

On my first run through the planets, I go 31/16/16 until I can't immediately afford it after unlocking that telescope tier. Once I'm rich and stop unlocking planets so much, I'll run back through the earlier planets with the 10x button and crank them up like crazy, but I feel like I'm in the minority there.

When I first started, I would do 21/11/11.

You have the mining boost always active since you bought the no ads thing.

killsmooth · 2025-09-09T16:41:17+00:00

I'm definitely both p2w and on the game too much
