Best advice I was ever given?

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
The big BETA/EARLY ACCESS tag puts me off a bit, but CryptoClickers seems interesting and I'll give it a whirl later.

Maybe it is cool but as far as I can see there is no tutorial and this is the screen you're greeted with.

Yeah that's not an idle game til you grind out challenges for a couple hours so you can unlock automation at a decent speed. You click the claim button every time the bar fills. Scan does nothing like the first 10 minutes or so because you need drones that cost e15 wei to purchase.

I think what mystifies me the most is the "approx to 10 cost". Why is it approximate?

I joined Something Awful to get into the goon discord channel of an idle game.
How do I get the goon role in the NGU discord? I just ask here? My username there is the same as here.

Edit: Thank you, 4G.

And I’m enjoying Alkahistorian. It’s really tweaking my Dopamine receptor, and it’s soothing to look at and try to balance.

The story has the answer to this--it's unstable and blows up if you get too much.

Alkahistorian is a puzzler in incremental clothes, I really enjoyed it.

Note that having enough alkahest to explode is required for making certain resources .

It is actually fairly easy.

Also there are online editors for Trimps and Evolve, if you want. The only game I don't cheat at is NGU because 4g is awesome, and because NGU doesn't require disgusting amounts of money.

Look at the recipes that would have made it, and see what they require (check both ingredients which are spent to produce, and catalysts where you need the bar to be X high). Now look at those things and see if either a. it's all being sent to something else or b. it's not being produced itself (in which case repeat from the beginning).

Eventually you'll find a place where something you need is getting frittered away on something else you don't care about as much, so you shut off that recipe for a while.

yeah, stop producing them at around 35 if you don't need solution. Alkahest blowing up also zeroes out your base elements, which take time to build back up enough to get into full production.

And getting enough iridium production to craft mythril constantly, so you can pump out ziggurats, increasing all space production and more Mining Outposts!

I honestly grab a few bones every so often because Trimps has the slowest game play in existence. But it was also the first incremental game I ever gave money to so it all balances out.

Tried NGU a while back but couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing. Might try it again once it's out on Steam.

Nope, you've got 2 1/2 more rare resources left to go and then a final role reveral to add more hours of time before you can press the final end game button available right now.
