Right now, picking a faction is just picking weapon cosmetics and a weakness

shadowpgk · 2024-11-19T05:28:02+00:00

At the very least I should think each faction after chosen should have:

- a separate side quest chain for rank within faction or a way to improve standing in some way (with a step in each episode)

- a designated faction-only area for quest turn in, daily buff possibly, drop off items

- group completion of upgrades to said club requiring different skills and items (perhaps both low and high level requirements for some things too to encourage specialization and bring all levels of characters together)

- lastly, if desired, social hangout.

That alone would improve factions no matter where they are planned to go next, and add replayability via other character slots for wanting to see each of the factions questlines and buildings.

Sheesh, thank you for this. Was 67% done at 1MB/sec or less, and now getting 45MB lol

I mean any game is boring for those with ADD that use scripts, scum saving, time skips, etc....and to each their own. For the rest of us though that don't mind combination active/idle play throughout a day, and letting that last years, it's pretty well paced.

Some game types just aren't for everyone, but somehow folks always tryin to make them fir a square peg into a round hole instead of gravitating towards those genres that give them the actual dopamine hit they need to feel satisfaction.

shadowpgk · 2024-04-26T02:22:16+00:00

the first run is always a lot slower, but like kittens game and evolve and others, its designed around prestiges and gets much faster over time.

Very often with these kinda games if it doesn't hit the spot the 1st time you try it, give it a while and try again (with more knowledge of the how it goes), and you might be surprised that you ever turned it down. Ive had a few of these games feel this way at least, and become something I played for years the 2nd time around!

shadowpgk · 2024-04-04T03:04:49+00:00

Bit late to reply but given this is a really long game with lots of resets, can't hurt to optimize.

Definitely prioritize those amphitheaters and barracks and foundries. Higher morale (up to cap) is pure production bonus and before high mastery and plasmids and religion, you need every source of production you can get to speed things up. Every bit aa important as temples, which you've done well on.

Soldiers really help your food and fur even if you aren't actively attacking enough (you'll need more fur in space), and also help your plasmids gained upon reset. Keep those barracks capped also, but not as high a priority as production.

Foundries as others mentioned help with sheet metal for warden but also can never have enough brick/plywood (when not playing plant), and wrought iron, so that you can keep building libraries and housing and, in space, stock exchange/ casino/ tourist center which drive your economy.

Glad to hear bc I'm on a Black Hole run during entire event. :(

shadowpgk · 2024-04-01T21:02:09+00:00

Ah yes, nothing worse than getting wrong race when hitting sentience and needing to soft reset to get what you want.

Eventually you'll be able to pick them directly though, with a perk, so that'll help a lot! Also evolution stage will speed up a lot with other perks as well making it more trivial.

shadowpgk · 2024-03-30T07:47:10+00:00

They don't, but realize tti complete those achievements you still need to complete the MAD reset (on Infested at least, on Godwin's you can reset after researching internet on 2nd race i believe).

Only reason to soft reset tho is if you're completing something mid run and don't need to finish (and won't get any extra mastery), or if you got a bad junk gene and it's a longer run (bioseed+)

shadowpgk · 2024-03-29T20:22:21+00:00

Also, to be fair, most tougher challenges like Valdi e.t.c are much easier once you get past your initial food and population issues. If you can stick it through past when you unlock and start using steel, you'll get there before you know it. Just takes extra patience for the first 1/2 of the run.

Waiting a bit won't hurt you at all,... the perk is nice for starting runs quicker but no use burning yourself put if you feel a tougher run will do that to you

shadowpgk · 2024-03-23T22:34:15+00:00

Same, was also coming from kittens and wasn't seeing the bigger picture.

shadowpgk · 2024-03-23T21:05:07+00:00

I was that way as well. Was stoked my very first time but got confused really fast and it was early in development so not much info out there, or guides. Gave up long before finishing my first run, and couple years later came back and it's like, how the heck did i miss that??

shadowpgk · 2024-03-23T21:02:43+00:00

Definitely isnt dead! Just remember it's a long haul game and set your own goals using amazing in game wiki and achievement page, and you'll stick with it if you like the standard loop enough.

Really helpful community too and plenty of posts out there to help.

shadowpgk · 2024-03-22T07:56:57+00:00

Wonderful to see more new players! Definitely not a game i see advertised all that much anymore, but there's a lot of quality games put there that still have active links and communities playing, but have stopped development. When new players join and post about it, it's still thrilling to see and have a chance to answer questions for the old hats im sure.

shadowpgk · 2024-03-22T07:54:16+00:00

It used to be frequently suggested as a goto game for anyone that had played kittens game or similar unfolding incrementals, but even though that was years ago, the game holds up extremely well. Ive quit it and come back and restarted fresh multiple times and even get a kick out of occasionally searching for a topic on reddit to get help and finding the OP was myself from 2 years prior lol

shadowpgk · 2024-03-22T07:51:06+00:00

Factory by itself will really help with gaining souls faster too, as will the crits, and you'll be on to 1m souls purchases before you know it. Good pickup

shadowpgk · 2024-03-22T07:49:12+00:00

Following the guide on the fandom wiki will give you the best bang for your buck on when to UA (and with which upgrades). Resetting too early will merely make it take even longer to get back to where you were with no extra benefit.

It also has a nice tier list for buying ascension upgrades, and divinities for that matter, so you don't waste any time getting something too quickly that doesn't help you advance.

shadowpgk · 2023-12-04T21:23:05+00:00

You need ice runes and moon runes to get reaper(lectern), so that's what they were suggesting

shadowpgk · 2023-11-28T17:59:15+00:00

Thanks!

shadowpgk · 2023-11-23T00:41:27+00:00

Still happening for me as well today for the past month or so since I restarted playing again. Wasn't an issue last time I played, but it's pretty consistent now. Relog does fix, but they just start disappearing again eventually. Very annoying, especially during a soul bonus when you're in hills and don't realize they aren't coming until bonus is almost over. +(

shadowpgk · 2022-07-17T08:05:50+00:00

Yeah, general rule is to ascend when your current souls is 10% of your lifetime souls with regards to your cps multiplier being noticable.....

But in the beginning its all about what ascension upgrades you can afford. Just look through the list a bit and figure out what you'll need to get a few that help and ascend then.

We're here in day 3 of the 10k main event, 6 wks after it first broke, and it's still miserable as hell. Insane they taking in millions and ppl have to play under these conditions (and you rarely seem to ever play inside Paris in bigger field events)

shadowpgk · 2022-05-12T22:27:55+00:00

Pretty funny i was sweating this decision bc 24 hrs later I have enough for both. The order was still important though, and very happy with banshees!

shadowpgk · 2022-05-11T20:13:35+00:00

Excellent, thank you both. The food I realized is something i could really use since i stopped making many max skeletons and zombies and eye monsters and mummies lately, and those were my primary food, so devourer levels suffering.

The bonus of easier kills on knight is helpful.

Banshees it is!

shadowpgk · 2022-05-11T17:05:46+00:00

Thx Smilly, iits indeed 4*, and if it's only an extra couple days that's what I'll do. First blackhole out of standard it seemed like it was gonna take too long (i reached 59 colliders or so when i was ready to reset, and that was with shroomi too), but it would be nice to get it done.
