I think I have to separate myself from thinking that faster runs = better gains. I guess I'm not even really positive what it is I'm doing that makes the IP go up and why longer runs would make that happen. There are some elements of the game that will click on you at some point but are terribly explained - and frankly, very obtuse. That means your dimboosts will happen as soon as they're available. The limiter will be how many galaxies you can reach right now; If you chose 10 galaxies but you can't reach that number, the autobuyer won't Dimboost and you'll get stuck. Take the autobuyer recommendations from the wiki with a grain of salt, they're mostly a point of reference than a rule; Tune more or fewer galaxies or slower or faster crunches depending on your current settings.

I don't believe enemies get armor, but the scaling ensures they don't need it. Shield warrior and cleric work well enough to get you to 16, but you'll get prestige before you reach 20. e: ah yeah, word of warning - if you get to level 2 prestige, it resets level 1 prestige buys along with the other stuff level 1 prestige resets. So be a little a careful about prestiging when the game alerts you that you will earn some higher-level prestige soon. Ignatius M. Meen fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Aug 17, 2019 |

pelao posted:I've been running a hp tank/healer at the front and pure DPS behind them. You dont get quite as far per run but I think the per-hour xp is better. Yeah for pure XP/hour, you're best off splitting both of your heroes between HP and damage. Then once you get 3 heroes, you should go full HP/full damage/full healing. That ensures you get to higher floors which is where the big XP are (especially once you start getting XP prestige upgrades). Also, something that wasn't immediately obvious to me is that the enemies operate exactly like your guys, i.e. you only need one tank at the very front and they will never attack anyone else until he dies. Ignatius M. Meen posted:I don't believe enemies get armor, but the scaling ensures they don't need it. Shield warrior and cleric work well enough to get you to 16, but you'll get prestige before you reach 20. Yeah when you get your first prestige of a layer always go for x2 XP to speed up the next prestige. Oh also, in some patch (that happened before I started playing) the dev said he made armor 5 times as strong and it's STILL useless. Ignatius M. Meen posted:I am, and well... it's okay. More than a little jank hurts the experience for me. I appreciate that the dev is very active, because it's going to need a fair bit of work to get solid.

Slightly longer runs may have a higher peak IP/min which will affect the upgrades that care about it since it'll be doing a bit of the heavy lifting in your IP growth when idle. Just let it run and then set your Auto Crunch to just under whatever IP it is that your peak IP/min reaches.

They werent kidding about the EXILE secret drop being rare. 3 weeks in and it has dropped 3 times. I combined 2 of them and put the first one i got into daycare. This one has gained 7 levels from Money Pit and 5 levels from daycare. Its not even all that good, compared to the rarity. (its pretty good but not "it takes 3 months to max this item"-good). Maybe i should start wearing it so i get it leveled up from both the money pit leveling features.

Two good changes to IA, healers now heal instead of attack when the damage output of the enemy team outpaces their healing (so your tank doesn't eat poo poo in two rounds and your party might last an extra floor), and a new prestige unlock lets your team skip floors if their damage is some amount greater than the enemy team's health. Also since it was mentioned I found that my admittedly very old save data for Idle Kingdom Clicker was not saved to the cloud so I have to start from scratch. Am I just going to have to grind to the bone if I want to get anywhere new or is it still possible to find the prestige multiplier temples if I have enough food?

I just did the Genetic Disaster Challenge in Evolve. It was a bitch. You only need to get up to MAD, but it's a bit of a slog, even with 800 plasmid and 100 phage. I had 75% of my people growing food for most of the run, and still managed to get the 'starve 100 people' achievement. On the upside, it counts as gold star for achievements and unlocks a special perk, which I think is 'Bonus to knowledge cap and gain' which starts you off with 1000 knowledge cap and about 6 knowledge/sec. This makes the early hour of the game a lot less annoying.

Those are neat, though to be honest I've found the healer AI to be fine since the patch before that one. They always heal if your tank is below 75% or something like that and it's a tiny edge case that your team will happen to survive an extra floor just because your healers always heal now.

IA: I did a quick and dirty time test from prestige of HP tank + healer + 3 DPS vs armour tank + 4 DPS and the armour tank came out significantly ahead. It was only a short 10 minute test, but for farming level 1 prestige points (PP1?) I think it's the way to go, given the autobuyers prestige you so often.

GrossMurpel posted:What about 1 HP tank, 2 DPS, 2 healers? Lets you get way further in floors. 1 tank 2 healers 2 DPS doesnt get you any further, really, on the time scale I was testing. Since it was short runs (10-15 minutes) the negatives from lack of DPS far outweighs the extra tanking. I found it didnt really matter what you used as the tank - i tested pure HP, pure block, cleric mixes, and pally mixes, and at the 10 minute mark, they were all about level 1400-1500. The outright best test was a 200/80 cleric that got 1525 in 9:40 at the end of the 4th run. With 1 dedicated healer (HP or a 150/25 warrior) it was 1250-1300 at 10 minutes. 1600 at about 14 minutes, after the 3rd run. With 2 dedicated healers it was worse again, 1300 at 13 minutes after the 2nd run, 1650 at 18:40 after the 3rd run. I'm not doing repeated tests so the RNG does put in a decent margin of error. Single mob really punishes an armour build. I had all equal P1 stat upgrades, and all equal at 2 P2 stats except XP and Armor at level 3.

At the moment, that's about it. post bioseed it's more or less just cleaning up achievements for mastery points. After that, well. Feats for completing difficult tasks, and finding the best species combo to get to and through space quickly. (Imp with Antid Fanaticism, Cyclops Space-Fanaticism looks like a strong contender)
