Ignoranus posted:I'm trying to play Realm Grinder on my phone but the offline/total play time is really strange for it. I'm trying to pick up the trophy for being within 1 minute of playtime for each faction and it feels like the timers sometimes aren't incrementing when it seems like they should. If the app is active when your phone goes to sleep (screen turns off) then it's effectively frozen in time. You have to make sure to either close it to accumulate offline time or keep it open all the time and not let your phone go to sleep. E: fiuuuuuuuuck dragons. I thought I was past having to rely on lightning strike rng to make progress.

RNG with dragons will get better; when you tier-cast Dragon's Rage, it'll run multiple effects concurrently. This is in stark contrast to Lightning Strike, where it will only hit one building at a time no matter what

I'm so close to merc research. So close. I need to go from e84 to e88ish gems, then I can get the unique building. I just can't afford it currently.

To build up offline time easily, export your progress, paste it somewhere, and then import it later. If it wasn't enough, wait a while and import it again. You don't even need to close the app (but you might as well).

The wall to get merc research unlocked seems really rough at R75. I'm at e88 gems, using a build I saw on Kongregate that recommended chain casting DB, FC, and TC to unlock the undead lineage, but that is going incredibly slowly (a few hours in, I'm at 280 REs). Am I doing something wrong? Should I consider just pushing through to the next reincarnation?

The faction shorthands for merc templates are incredibly confusing, I did the same thing several times. They could have just made them 3 letters long instead of giving us DW, DG, and DN. You can just copy + paste merc builds into the import box like with research builds btw.

i personally found early merc research underwhelming enough that i just pushed through to r77 with faceless. merc research is expensive enough that until the early-mid 80s you probably won't be able to afford them at e88, try e89 or e90.

Kind of neat hacking game https://danielyxie.github.io/bitburner/ There's a scripting element to it, but you don't need much more than what I've got below. The tutorial is pretty good. Prestige mechanism is neat too. The big danger is that if you take all the money from a server, it grows back super slow, so if you have automatic hacking scripts running, you need to alternate between hacking and growing (which regenerates the money). Auto-buy nodes Adjust all of the examples of '4' to be a higher number for more nodes, and if you want higher levels, set the 75 higher, or the ram higher etc. pre:while(hacknetnodes.length < 4) {
purchaseHacknetNode();
};
for (i = 0; i < 4; i = i+1) {
while (hacknetnodes[i].level <= 75) {
hacknetnodes[i].upgradeLevel(5);
sleep(10000);
};
};
for (i = 0; i < 4; i = i+1) {
while (hacknetnodes[i].ram < 8) {
hacknetnodes[i].upgradeRam();
sleep(10000);
};
};
for (i = 0; i < 4; i = i+1) {
while (hacknetnodes[i].cores < 2) {
hacknetnodes[i].upgradeCore();
sleep(10000);
};
};
hack-template.script pre:s = getHostname();
while(true) {
if (getServerMoneyAvailable(s) > 300000) {
hack(s);
} else {
grow(s);
};
}
pre:s = getHostname();
while(true) {
grow(s);
}
pre:nuke("foodnstuff");
scp("hack-template.script", "foodnstuff");
scp("grow-template.script", "foodnstuff");
exec("hack-template.script", "foodnstuff");

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Kind of neat hacking game Giving this a shot, so far it's pretty interesting. The scripting documentation was a little poor, took me a while to realise it wanted a semi-colon after all brace blocks despite being rather inconsistent in the docs. I wonder how it works out how much RAM a script takes. My gain-access script is longer than my upgrade-hacknet script but the upgrade script has loops in it which probably add to the cost.

Higher level servers have higher limits, I've heard phantasy is a good one to buff on after getting a few augmentations.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the scripting system, but I don't think you can run multiple threads within one script. As for the second script, adding the grow function makes it do something when it's too low to hack, other than endlessly checking the value and doing nothing.

Meanwhile, I've been playing Factory Idle and spent half an hour trying to spaghetti up a gas/oil lab -> research center configuration that didn't waste production on one end or the other; with current production, I can get the labs making 16 reports every 20 ticks and each research building takes 12 reports every 20 ticks, so I rearranged the belts so that they split twice and 1/4 of each lab is sent to the fourth research center instead. This is an oddly-satisfying game.

So I'm banging out my last artifacts and researches as I approach R40. Research wise, I just need 40 artifacts (which I'm doing, but it's slow going with some of these), reaching 15000 max mana, and getting 200 drow/dwarf exchanges with the various factions. Are there ideal builds to get the mana and the exchanges on each? Or is it just a matter of plowing forward and hoping for the best? EDIT: Nevermind, I got a 15000 max mana build pretty easily once I actually focused on it. Still will need the exchange ones. Teddybear fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Jun 19, 2017 |

Don't forget, you can buy your own servers. In Volhaven you can buy super beefy ones. Create growGun00-99.script, scp them all over, and then exec them. As for hack requirements, you aren't taking money from the server, so I think you can still get root access. Edit: Also Volhaven has a better university. More expensive, but better xp.
