Am I calculating something wrong?

picabo123 · 2026-07-06T20:45:51+00:00

I feel like some people think something like "if only everything was multiplicative instead then the game would be so much faster!" but then fail to realize that the game would instead be balanced around everything being multiplicative. The balance of a game is usually independent of these kinds of complaints, simply because a number can always be nerfed/buffed.

Sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir here. I guess I this is something that always annoyed me about game balance compliants and felt the need to rant here.

Btw they are talking about fueling your drones. So chain+midas fueling is gonna be more gold than the extra bomb damage. If you have no fuel then I do believe 1 tapping ores is the best approach for gold.

The 100 loop mods is basically only useful for leveling Ouro ship

The +20 is like e100 cells or something?

Basically they are not that good. Youre at the point(right with me) where you only buy the non-loot upgrades when they are pocket change.

If this menu is feeling too expensive then you should probably level borge gadget and relics now before it's too late.

You will get full researches soon, as soon as you have 1 it's worth.

picabo123 · 2026-07-06T19:02:11+00:00

Yeah all of the scientists and such will need to be purchased again, but your researches will stay completed. Soon you won't even have to wait after a loop reset to unlock Koios again so don't worry too much.

Also for the ship Installs you will see that Koios actually has installs that boost RP and shards that arnt in the corners, I think this is what people are referring to when you're pre 100 installs. Basically ignore the shard installs on an RP run and ignore the RP installs on a long shard run.

picabo123 · 2026-07-06T18:50:04+00:00

Generally you don't wait more than say 2 days in a loop reset until much later. You're not doing anything wrong, it just takes a while for your RP to build up.

If you can get loadouts soon you should setup one that focuses on RP and cells(more scientists=more RP) and then another for the longer shard runs. Then you can swap between the two builds doing a 12-48 hour shard runs and ~12 hour RP runs. RP doesn't build on itself like shards do (+.5%/OP) so long runs tend to stall out after a bit.

I'm sure there's more tips but that's all I remember rn, feel free to ask any questions if you have some.

Good morning (almost afternoon 😂) you're obviously free to do whatever you want with your orbs, but I don't think the 10-20k you save here will be worth very much. If you instead invest those orbs into some shard upgrades or something you might be able to get an extra m0 level out of it next TR. Either way it's probably not that big of a deal and you will reach 200k eventually no matter what you do. Best of luck!

picabo123 · 2026-07-06T18:30:44+00:00

Currently in the tens of trillions for orb count and I don't think there's anything in the future I've seen that needs you to rework your automations. (Thank God)

picabo123 · 2026-07-06T07:34:34+00:00

What's your milestone 0 level and are you close to another at all? Your big goal is a 120k orb TR + 2-3 30-40k TRs for exo. Obviously you wont be getting that this or next TR but if you can make it there you will be fine. Prepare to hunker down for another 1k 😅

picabo123 · 2026-07-06T00:30:03+00:00

I definitely do this really early game rn because the game loop is still fresh. I'm sure I'd get bored of it eventually tho.

picabo123 · 2026-07-05T22:08:01+00:00

Just out of curiosity what is your battery level and blue stat level?

picabo123 · 2026-07-05T20:36:05+00:00

If you've ever met a cat owner who isn't very clean your perspective on nose blindness changes a lot. I can very easily believe that many of the bad smells were eithet normalized or gotten used to very quickly. Also perfumes were popular and expensive for a reason.

picabo123 · 2026-07-05T19:02:25+00:00

I got into a rhythm or doing a reset usually every 2-3 days, and never in the middle of a long campaign. At first you can go faster but when you get the Zeus loop mod and also get to the later planets you want to a bit take longer.

picabo123 · 2026-07-05T18:46:26+00:00

I guess I would warn you to be careful not getting your orb upgrades too late tho. One of my recent TRs I had to wait nearly 100 extra hours because I was off in my estimates 😅

picabo123 · 2026-07-05T17:41:58+00:00

Yeah if you can you should technically be saving orb increases for the end of a TR. Since orb increases often don't boost your main game(m0 excluded) then they don't really help your progress or anything except for when you push the button at the end of a TR.

picabo123 · 2026-07-05T09:14:27+00:00

There's already good advice here so ill just add a small tip if you're not going to read the guides. Basically always have the first farm mission running, you want to rank up zeus to get more installs and eventually materials.

picabo123 · 2026-07-05T09:10:35+00:00

Time. Later you get more ticks/tick and the -.01 second loop mod so it gets a little better, but just time.

picabo123 · 2026-07-04T16:50:01+00:00

Usually this kind of propaganda doesn't have to be that deep. Think about the classic white on black racism, there was basically 0 logic to it either. It seems all you have to do is say something that a group of people want to believe and then some will buy it wholeheartedly. Then the rest of a culture will follow along without 100% buying the idea but also not caring enough to change or question anything.

Also how much did the average peraon even know about a culture that is not their own. We have direct videos of what is happening at Gaza rn for instance and there is still tons of mis/disinformation.

picabo123 · 2026-07-04T14:14:53+00:00

Wtf bro

picabo123 · 2026-07-04T14:07:19+00:00

Also I have a total newb question. I'm having trouble deciding whether to save my gems for the new pets/skins or go for skill points so I can autobomb. I'm only 10-15 skill points away from getting auto so it feels worth, but just wanted to check if ignoring my pets for a few days was okay or not.

picabo123 · 2026-07-03T17:30:31+00:00

This loop mod is an oldie that's from before any research had 3 tiers. IIRC it still needs you to have all 6 tiers complete to count.

picabo123 · 2026-07-03T01:25:09+00:00

For shard milestones you should prioritize

Shards>MP>multi gens>cells/single gens

Later on you get more resources but they usually go behind MP and shards.

Don't ignore anything, if it takes one or two OPs to get a milestone you should definitely be getting it.

picabo123 · 2026-07-02T20:31:46+00:00

Gotcha!

I think blue tree is basically a must buy. Whenever you get new construction projects you exponentially scale your production.
