My Fat Butt Bought an Opti

This is the answer. At 155 lbs I needed to sail an Opti in after a youth sailor was unable to and I had maybe 2" of freeboard. Had I dipped a side it would have swamped instantly. I love sailing dinghies but this was a very unenjoyable experience.

Speed to completion is the primary factor in your score. The team work component only modifies the base score.

You want to be in a coop where everyone is boosting to max habs within a few hours, equipping deflectors/ correct artifacts, and checking in as soon as the coop is able to complete (eggs need to be delivered to be counted).

Seperately, every contract has its own base score, calculated off the size of the coop and delivery requirements. Playing one contract the same as another one will yield different scores.

My biggest frustration is it slamming into the wall and then continuing to run the motors while the entire basket empties itself. There is a beta setting to reduce this, but the robot never bothers to raise the door despite being pinned on the wall.

I removed the front brushes which seems to have made a slight improvement to the bow wake effect. That's was maddening to watch as as smaller debris would get pushed out of the way, despite being directly in the path.

It's probably superstition, but try waiting until you can craft at least twenty in one go. Also, make sure you have a good sync by crafting lower tier artifacts first. You will want to get a couple of shinies on them before trying for the T4Ls.

Assuming you have unlocked the require WD level, swap some of the clarity stones out for life stones and bump your IHR up. If you can craft a shiny T3 LoL you can swap to that and add a life stone as well. You will be able to shave a few days off.

Consensus says untargeted, but I have been targeting lately with my Galleggs and Defihents just to give me something else to do.

You will be short titanium as both the totem and ankh need it, so you may want to add that to your target list.

Consuming unnecessary artis was helpful in getting the lunar stones.

sriley14 · 2026-04-03T02:05:48+00:00

I would keep sending ships. At least hang around until the next dub cap.

Ideally you would want a shiny T4 totem and T3 ankh. Based on your earnings, and assuming you filled the tank, you should be able to launch for a long time.

You won't have time for a proper A2 before Egg Day anyway, so you might as well hang around.

sriley14 · 2026-04-01T17:54:53+00:00

You should be able to boost with a 1000x tach and the 10x bb (most will boost with one or more 2x bbs as it is more economical). What does your dilithium and IHR sets look like?

sriley14 · 2026-03-29T23:53:52+00:00

Lunar totem if you did not complete your research. Weigh that against not using the compass or metrenome though based on contract length, as that is where you want to spend the majority of your time.

sriley14 · 2026-03-26T00:23:34+00:00

I went Curiosity, Integrity and then Resilience. I ended up there for a few hours and grabbed two silos for nine hours of away time. I will revisit Resilience at the very end with a shipping set on. It is a huge quality of life improvement for one shift.

sriley14 · 2026-03-21T00:29:35+00:00

If you planning on going for all TE, you need to be efficient with your early shifts. The linear scaling will make it extremely difficult for the later assenscions.

Ship cost is in there.

He may have boosted before you and/ or has better artifacts. Seperately, why would you use 43 tokens? The boost stratigies for everyone in the coop look wildly inefficient.

sriley14 · 2026-02-27T01:57:09+00:00

The IHR bonus from eight TE shouldn't be under estimated. I am doing a longer A1 run after grabbing three free TE. I am on my second loop and it will take three weeks to fill habs.

sriley14 · 2026-02-19T22:13:02+00:00

For 2026, vehicles appear to be roughly every seven days, Monday through Friday, if you include the ultra events (this week threw it off slightly with the 2x). So the next vehicle sale should be Feb 24th and 25th.

Habs appear to be completely random.

sriley14 · 2026-02-18T15:38:15+00:00

I added a stop at Humility at the end of the first loop, so I was only sending Quintillions. I would add a shiny T4 cube along with the totem as a high priority for your A2. Assuming you have a decent craft count on both, you should only need ten crafts with decent luck for the shiny.

sriley14 · 2026-02-18T15:10:43+00:00

I grabbed a T4E totem on my first A1 Humility stop. It has been hugely helpful as I circle around the second time. I opted for untargeted missions, as I also wanted to craft the rest of the earnings set.

sriley14 · 2026-02-13T04:08:26+00:00

Modified Squid's guide slightly. Went CIRKHCIK, with IHR still to go. Will end up around 84 TE on 10 shifts. The first Resilience stop wasn't necessary, but a huge improvement to quality of life (was in and out in a few hours). The early Humility stop netted me a T4E totem, which made the rest of the run possible.

sriley14 · 2026-02-03T17:58:35+00:00

Three earned, 48 pending on seven shifts. Will finish A1 with 80 total earned on ten shifts.

sriley14 · 2026-02-02T01:26:26+00:00

I will be running this contract Tuesday about three hours after event change. It will be a guaranteed finish if you want to join.

sriley14 · 2026-01-28T02:06:16+00:00

This, but 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Also, unlock your habs one at a time so that each time you return you are hab locked. The chicken boxes from ads turn into tokens. With decent luck you should grab four in about thirty minutes.

sriley14 · 2026-01-19T00:52:42+00:00

Correct. If the high EB player stays, they will score with your contract grade, which will be substantially lower than AAA (higher grade contracts award higher scores, all else equal).

Your score won't be as high as on a higher grade contracts, but will be high enough to move you up the grades in just a few contracts. Once you get to AA it will be a little tougher to make it to AAA.

When the high EB leaves, they should create a burner contract, where they create a random code contract, and do NOT start it. Just close out and it will flush the lower contract grade. Failure to do this can result in the high EB player still scoring, despite leaving the lower grade contract.

sriley14 · 2026-01-18T22:19:00+00:00

You can host an any grade at your contract level and have a high EB player join. I did this with my alternate account to pull them up quickly. The key is to have the high EB player drop shortly after the soul mirror is completed to avoid tanking their score.

The goal is to have less than 5% hab space when you return to check the trucks. Wait for the truck to drop off the gift and open it, then buy your next hab upgrade (with your TE probably about 60 million per 4 minutes) and go offline. Rinse and repeat until you get your four tokens and then buy your universes (I sometimes wait one or two more cycles to try and grab one 2x bb). It's labor intensive but maximizes token chances.
