I see I described the beard/goatee as "gross" though so i did take that part out for the next patch. I hope that's at least better. edit: I've also changed the pic a bit: something fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Aug 7, 2019 |

Am I doing something wrong with the start of Evolve or is it supposed to be this slow? I'm at the point where I need thousands and thousands of knowledge to get anything but I'm still ~8 knowledge/s. Universities and libraries take shitloads of money, wood, stone, and cement but give a completely pathetic amount of knowledge, and cottages/cabins/farms for more population take just as long to build for a similarly pathetic increase in lumber/stone/cement per second.

That's the way the first reset is supposed to go. I play pretty lax and it was several days to get to the reset button, fwiw. What's your population right now? Once you have apartments things will be more focused. I use pop as my meter stick for how far I am & I get to reset at ~130 pop. Though I should note that pop determines how much of the prestige currency you'll get, so spend a bit increasing your pop count.

54, only up to Cottages, which are slow going because of how much cement is required.

While we're talking Evolve, is there a rule of thumb for rebirthing? I unlocked it for the first time, but I've been spending one last stretch trying to bump Knowledge up high enough to grab Shotgun Sequencing in case it gives me another plasmid. I suppose I'm spending too long grinding, but if I'd restarted at 130pop I'd be going out with 1 plasmid instead of like 5.

Spent knowledge (on research) only has a minor effect on plasmid gain compared to population and barracks. For your first MAD reset you want to use it as soon as you'll get ~100 plasmids and ~125 afterwards. Rynoto fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Aug 8, 2019 |

I didn't even know that population went into it. Thanks for clarifying ^^

As far as I can tell for the pre-space portion yeah it's all about just getting the most population you possibly can and then nuking. I'm still not super clear on when to spend on crispr but I think 500+phage is where I'm at now? so hopefully I can pick up everything but the cost reductions on this run. Still haven't seen hide nor hair of fancy species or have any idea how to unlock them

Still haven't seen hide nor hair of fancy species or have any idea how to unlock them You should start getting the first storage and cost reduction upgrades when it won't put you under 250 and keep doing runs until you get 500 and most of the early upgrades and second tier religion before the first space run. The 'secret' species are after the first space reset and another requirement for hell.

NGU question: should I be turning off Idle Questing to run up a big quest bank, then turning it back on again to burn through those quests? is it better to just keep doing minor quests? do you need to hit a certain quest multiplier/drop rate before that makes sense? I'm definitely questing faster than I get quests.
|
# ? Aug 8, 2019 06:06 |
|
What I do is turn off "Use Major Quest if Available" and leave it idling through minor quests while the major quest bank fills up, and when it does I crank through the major quests actively. I know some other people in the thread don't like questing at all and just leave it to idle through any available quests, but there's no benefit to stopping questing entirely.
|
# ? Aug 8, 2019 08:41 |
|
Yeah I only let it idle minor quests and when I have some time to pay more attention to the game (at work lol) I'll turn the idler off and start running through the major quests until I'm back to 0 where I'll turn major quests off and idling back on again.

Thanks for clarifying ^^ It's ((pop + soldiers) / 3) + Knowledge Bonus. Knowledge bonus is just "1 plasmid for first 100K knowledge spent, * 1.1 for each additional plasmid." The space reset has a multiplier of 1.015 instead, and gives another prestige currency, phage.

The space reset has a multiplier of 1.015 instead, and gives another prestige currency, phage. I'm assuming this is taken straight from the code but I still refuse to believe it. I was 100% sure that a soldier counts for more than 1 population.

Can confirm Chakan is right, I've rooted around in that codebase enough times that I can pinpoint the line if you really want. The thing is, Barracks eventually provide +3 soldiers so each building is equivalent to a plasmid.

I'd been assuming that the amount under my Plasmid resource (which is currently 5) was it, but I have well over 300 dudes by this point so I'm theoretically already good to restart.

I decided to play that bitcoin miner game because it sounded fun, but now I'm completely stuck. The last thing I did was "resolve" the situation at TacoX (killing the protesters). There's nothing for me to do on the green or pink tabs, my money is steadily ticking into the negatives on the white, and I have no clue what the gently caress the command prompt tab is for.

Okay unless Evolve speeds up drastically after the first reset, or I'm doing something wrong, I don't think this is for me. I'm waiting for my soldiers to heal so I can go on more pillages since they're the only thing giving me meaningful resources, so I can get coal to get the Rotary Kiln because it's basically the only upgrade left that doesn't require Titanium (which I don't have and can't get yet), or only applies to crates/containers/mercenaries, and I get randomly attacked by a rival city and lose most of my soldiers, so now I have to wait another 20 minutes or something to try pillaging for coal again. This is super frustrating.

I've already got 14, getting more requires shitloads of wrought iron, and I'm only at like 6.2 coal/s with as many trade routes for it as I can afford.
