Seriously, play ITRTG with nox and Game Guardian at 20x speed. It's been pretty fun playing that way.

I'm interested in trying this but the whole Nox thing makes me a little antsy. Do you just use your regular Google credentials to access the Play store and install stuff or do you have some alternate method or what?

Yep you just log in with google, or make a new google account from your main just for games (that's what I did).

Nox is pretty easy to set up and works pretty well.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
So i tried that Succubux game last night and got put in jail. I ignored the game for a while and it was like 20 minutes left of jail time when i turned off the computer and went to bed.
When starting up the game again today the jail timer is back to 1 hour.

Also i am probably not getting the joke, if it is a joke. You can buy loot boxes for $, clicking that button grants you loot boxes but also takes you to the literal paypal webpage. Is this all just some sort of meta joke i am not getting or is it possible to pay him actual $?

You could pay him if you wanted to, as a way of saying thank you, but the game just takes your word for it whether or not you actually paid.
There are a couple of crafting recipes that require you to click the buy button, then admit to not paying.


Also, put this in your console to end the jail

At level 67 I was tearing along with the True Gun of Thyself, but then crafted a dark soul not realizing it would give mobs infinite HP. Infinite attack cannot surmount infinite HP, and I'm not sure how to proceed. I have workers buying and opening 2.45 trillion quantum loot boxes per tick, but my XP meter isn't moving at all.

No, I did the same thing, you just need to open more loot boxes.

You need to have workers in Space Exploration, Security, and Alien Resources to get new workers. I'm guessing you don't have anybody exploring space because the neutron bomb upgrade doesn't do that.

Equality is really really easy to get. Just wait til you can reincarnate, pick a time of day you can access a computer three days in a row for, reincarnate at that time of day and just rotate through the three alignments for one day each.

Getting a wee bit tired of RG. Hit R75 yesterday and was looking forward to getting the game changed up a bit with Merc Research, after 15 reincarnations that have been exactly the same, but like all other paradigm shifts you get that stuff at the end of the reincarnation they unlock in. The game has felt so samey since R40, with so much repetitive/routine clicking required in the start of an abdication until you get towards the end of your current R and things slow down to a crawl. Every reincarnation seems to take me 2-3 days, with the first few hours requiring a ton of effort and attention.

Reincarnate - click buy all - buy neutral - click on bloodline button to open a new window to buy druid bl - use a few tax collections - buy titans - go to research screen - use the template - go back to the buy screen and use buy all again - spam more tax collections - buy dragon - set up all the spell autocasts - abdicate

Do this exact routine 4-5 times to get to E30+ gems, then replace titans with faceless in the above routine, and also use excavations after the second research purchases to unlock UD lineage (also hidden in a separate menu) then go back to the research screen for a third time to buy the researches you can now afford, then abdicate.

Do all of the above like 12-15 times and you are 2-3 magnitude away from being able to reincarnate and now it is time to wait for a day or two to be able to afford the highest spell tiers so you can get the last few gem magnitudes and reincarnate.

I wish all the routine got reduced a bit, either by making progress in the first ~8 abdications radically faster, or simply letting us start with gems (say half the magnitude required for reincarnation) or some other QOL changes.

What I do in that situation is pick some spells to level up then put the game down for a week or two.

Ah, ok. I'm just coming up on R56 and for some reason there's no guidance at all for faceless builds until you hit R60. I guess either it doesn't matter or the website isn't updated for the A2 update.

Up until 60 it was Titans/dragons with druid BL, from fresh reincarnation and until next reincarnation. At 60 it was time to do the dragon challenges then do Titans to e30 gems and Faceless after.

The newest R70-R75 faceless build in G00f's webpage requires you to excavate a bit so you can get the 400 exchanges required for Lineage. Before this update i used a build that breezed through the FC requirements but was slighly lower production (though enough to get to R72)

If you look on the g00f wiki, the Thor build (R90-99) has a little gimmick you can play with to speed through some stuff late. I got through R96 in 45 minutes. Just try to set up everything, Merc build, Research build, spell tiers bought, FC exchanges, only having built Deep Mines, and get everything else casting but Lightning Strike. Spam LS all the way up to the max tier you have for it and you've got about 40 seconds to buy every other building, Buy All upgrades, and bask in the guaranteed-most-productive-building struck income til it runs out. Rinse and repeat.

Edit: OR wait and see if the next forecasted hit is Mines as well and just keep on truckin. OR if it's within the next two or three hits, Cloud save and reload so you don't have to wait 11 minutes between casts.

What’s the recommended build speed for every 20,000 clones in ITRTG? 200%? I’ve got 120,000 clones right now, 315% creation speed, 880% build speed, and 4 CC. (Also, Improved Next At, but that’s a given.)

For RG, I'm on the last little bit of 75 and doing spell tiers for a while. Gonna get everything to 6 I think. Did Beard Carpet as well. After I do all the spells I have right now there's just three to go so I'll probably whip up another merc build to get at those. Might try for Stoic Resistance as well. It'll be Evil I think so might get Diabolical Evil too. Also doing some offline time as well but I don't really have a target for that. And then Perk Challenges, there's a few that are gonna need a gimmick build I reckon

175% (the easy way to remember is that that's 50 GP, same as 20k clones), but keep in mind you need to add 100 to the number on your GP screen to get your total build speed.

EDIT: The formula I use to calculate desired build speed bonus from clone count is: ((clones / 4000) * 35) - 100

This really just boils down to "spend an equal amount of GP on build speed and clone cap," and that maximizes your build speed, and not everything you use clones on is influenced by build speed, so it makes sense to keep clones ahead. Of course, unless you're in a challenge that prevents you from using monuments or divinity you probably have 90%+ of your clones building things, so they should only be a little bit ahead.
