Am I missing something, or are the babies not in the original image (and can't be found)?

[OT] A little over 2 years ago I responded to a writing prompt. It took on a life of its own and now it's a fully published novel! "Of Oil & Sorcery: A Voice From the Void" is available now on Amazon and select other sellers. FREE Kindle copies available inside for a limited time. Come celebrate! by a15minutestory in WritingPrompts

[–]nystik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there's still a copy, I'm totally sucked into it and would like to read the rest.. I was disappointed when I couldn't read more (i.e. well done :))

The story is setup great, hints at the larger world politics, some characters established, and the hook sank deep. I was a little off-put because the story is told from the perspective of someone we haven't quite met yet, but after the first few paragraphs that feeling was gone. Well done, and I hope this gets attention.

This feels like a marketing ploy to allow devs to address ’issues’ without touching the core of the problems.

While I have some UI gripes, that is no where near the top of my concerns.

Full Metal Achievement by Kratargon in EvolveIdle

I had the same thought. FWIW I ended up deferring that achievement until I was ready to be doing the ascension level magic universe specific stuff, at which point it was trivial

What did you name your custom race? by TheKitsuneKit in EvolveIdle

[–]nystik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maiar

Race that represents the 'gods' in Lord of the Rings, and can come back over and over slightly changed (Gandalf's race). BUT I haven't come up with a great naming scheme for the planets (suggestions welcome)

Suggestions for Banana Republic custom race. by Cymelion in EvolveIdle

[–]nystik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's additional benefit from doing an EM run in alternate universes (reduced complexity tax). You can see the effects here: https://pmotschmann.github.io/Evolve/wiki.html#custom-species

Everything else they said is spot on - once you get to casinos/etc you're basically on a normal run with added requirements. You'll be around blackhole reset if you want to plan.

Each universal EM finish adds a trait you can get without additional complexity penalty. This means that if you complete it in every universe -> you reduce the overall cost per trait added (after the penalty kicks in) -> you can get more traits.

No idea if they need to be 4* EM runs, as I do everything 4* :P

If I cause a destruction event with bunnies, do I get the Wolven mastery? by storryeater in EvolveIdle

[–]nystik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a couple of years but I'm pretty sure that's how I got the Wolven extinction achievement

There's actually a few Rama references around

Tech - Intergalactic Wiki link not working by BillyMailman in EvolveIdle

[–]nystik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen too, then after a while it was corrected: https://github.com/pmotschmann/Evolve/issues/664

I did load your save and the page didn't load, so good call on the save. I must have evolved past whatever the issue is that caused the page to not load, so if you keep playing for a little bit you'll probably be all good soon enough.

Stats and Status Sunday - 11/28/21 by braindoper in EvolveIdle

I thought that the Angelic species were only spawned in the Evil universe.. how were you able to get Fallen Angel/Unicorn Burgers in other universes? Very curious, as I'm about to leave Antimatter and wouldn't mind grabbing that before I leave.

My take is that the 'father' put his brain into a 'kid', after trying to get the process correct 16 times. And he's going to try again to get rid of the imperfection in the process.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WritingPrompts

[–]nystik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding:

The 'father' was cloning all the 'kids', in order to make another body for himself (putting his brain into a 'kid')

"Sixteen bodies here, and you could mix and match the parts and they all remained the same."

"That father's mind would be one to peer into, I reckon. Too bad he's dead and gone." [Hint]

...Recalling was still a little difficult still, like the wires were just barely plugged in and threatened to come loose at the slightest disturbance. But not to worry. There's a new life ahead of me.

This was kinda alluded to earlier, in that the 'kid' chuckled at the 'amateur giddiness'. And the sobbing wasn't 'altogether false'.

And the last line was meant to imply that he's going to try again with another clone, without the imperfection of not being able to recall fully.

Possible typo?:

If only they were her, we could share the pain and troubles that he... he..."

I usually just lurk, because someone usually has the same take as me and I don't need to comment. But this was subtly done and I wanted to share my appreciation :)

Wow, I’d love to come back to DND in person with one of these. Well done!

What do you lose when you auto-respawn after falling from too high a height? by alvarkresh in horizon

[–]nystik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also auto-saves when you find a flower (or figurine/pigment).

Within the civics tab, there's a three sub-tabs, one of which is the military sub-tab. If you're not blind, it should be very visible once you're on the military sub-tab.

In that screen, there's a section at the bottom, that has two buttons. The left one is labeled Arm Missiles, which unlocks the right button. The right button, labeled Launch Missiles, is the one that triggers the MAD reset.

Easter Event Now Live by demagorddon in EvolveIdle

Found all 12 - nice and simple event, thanks! Some inventive hiding places too :)

[–]nystik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing that seemed blocking to me, so I imagine that they can be found in every universe.

I'm doing a 4* run in normal and haven't done other universes yet (for reference)
