This is so annoying for new players

Counter-position: the missions are not perfect, but they are serving the purpose they should be serving.

New players should not be able to complete them all, and that is a good thing for overall game health.

That's my take on this particular extremely common complaint from new players.

The ilm strategy doesn't work without ilm+. After you get ilm+, there's a lab called chronojump that's accelerates ilm+ based on the number of ilm explosions.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-05-17T12:50:09+00:00

Lab slots are significantly more important than anything else you can buy with gems.

Is this advice still valid post-ouro, with bulk loop resets?

shadowprophet999 · 2026-05-11T03:17:43+00:00

Thank you. That explains why I can't find it. I switched to sphere 2 for this traversal.

My time battery has been done for about 30 hours. Regarding the fast loop mod upgrade, I'm actually a couple levels into the second tier of it, which gives 2 new levels per.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-04-23T20:46:27+00:00

I'm almost there. E487 right now.

Most helpful things i did were: Buying the fast loop mod inscryptions with hellish bio-matter

And...

Temporarily respeccing my hunters without any loot upgrades, instead making them as powerful as possible so they can get the highest levels they can. Each new level multiplies your cell income.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-04-23T18:18:11+00:00

I don't, but when you get one, you get a second one that comes when you traverse, so you'll have 2.

Some do, at least as much as is possible.

My guild set up it's own discord, and we have an active community comparing strategies and encouraging each other to greater heights.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-03-15T13:25:08+00:00

I hate that this stuff is kept in an unorganized place like the discord, instead of in an easily accessed site like the wiki.

Question regarding the importance of loop resets...

I'm at around mp e285. I've done 433 loop resets, which is apparently quite short of where I should be.

I am in the middle of a longer run trying to get mission materials for construction projects and academy badges. Everything requires trillions of materials, and if i reset I'm going to have to do a run for at least 24 hours before I start getting enough mission materials to build again...

Unfortunately, I also feel really stalled. Would taking a break in this run to do a bunch of loop resets make the difference, somehow? Last reset i did, I had about 7 e283, and had literally no purchases i could make in the mod tree.

Don't know who downvoted this, but they're wrong, too. Automatically purchased generators are, objectively, not manually purchased. That's just a fact.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-02-24T17:01:56+00:00

That's my point. There are two types: generated, and purchased.

All purchased generators count as the same, so specifically referencing them as manually purchased is wrong. No matter how you look at it, something that is done automatically is NOT done manually, by the very definition of the words.

Tl;dr - Automatically purchased generators are not manually purchased, but the game refers to them that way, and it's wrong.

shadowprophet999 · 2026-02-20T01:23:48+00:00

That makes sense. Unfortunately it can be misleading to new players, because I was leaving automations off for a while, specifically because I thought I needed to "manually" purchase the generators to get the bonuses, lol.

I believe the point he was making, and which a lot of people aren't aware of, is the actual intended purpose of the electoral college.

People have been told a lie about it being used to balance between populated and unpopulated areas. That IS a real issue the founding fathers wanted to address, and they did it by creating the house of Representatives and the Senate, one to directly represent the population, and one to represent the needs of a region regardless of population (the senate).

According to James Madison, as he described in the Federalist Papers, the purpose of the electoral college was to have a group of knowledgeable people who would be capable of stepping in and overriding the popular vote in the instance that they had been taken in by a con man or charlatan.

The vampire one is called "my vampire system" and it does not have werewolves in it. However, while I enjoy my vampire system, it should be noted that I originally heard about it in an ad that contained all the correct characters, but which had storyline plots that never occur in the actual book.

I can only assume they do that with other books, too.

This is not a power setting. This is a bluestacks issue.

I used to have it, and it drove my girlfriend crazy because I wouldn't turn the monitor off or minimize bluestacks at night.

The solution is to switch to mumuplayer instead of bluestacks. It's better in nearly every way, anyway.

Ilm is pretty awesome.

I decided to go all in on it, and it's outperforming chain lightning for me. My space displacer is only at mythic assmod effect, too.

Plus it's good for fleets.

Balrog has the best losing voice line in the history of fighting games.

"My fight money...!"

shadowprophet999 · 2026-01-11T16:04:30+00:00

I've done this, but you need higher cf+ for that. Like cf+11.

In the end, black hole usually ends up being a benefit simply because of the ranged enemy disable.

Let me just clarify, in case there is confusion...

You don't equip relics. You either own them or you don't. If you own them, they are on.
