Samuringa posted:I booted Incremancer yesterday and fizzled out, there's not much you can do after getting the buildings and the Rune Infusions. There's a ridiculous Prestige option to lower the Energy to spawn a zombie but the rest is just "get more resoruce" or "get resource faster". I might have misinterpreted it but I'm pretty sure the storage prestige upgrades are additive with the normal ones as well. At least I had +240% blood storage with 2 prestige upgrades in it, and the +10% from the brain upgrade brought it to +250%.

How is the Auto Start Next Level supposed to work in Incremancer? I have it turned on, but I still just get stuck at the end of level screen and have to manually start the next level.

When it's on, it automatically starts the next level 3 seconds after the current level ends. It's pretty quick when it's on IME.

If I'm at ~1E26 Adventure stats and want to down Exile v4 whats my best plan of attack? I've gotten all the Adventure perks/quirks except for Rich Perks III and Rich Quirks II, and I'm all out of any possible Wishes. Am I better to blast rebirths for the MacGuffin (45k) bonus, or just let everything stack up for a few weeks until I get into kill range?

It's going to be pretty hard to get Sadistic NGU without killing Exile V4... Anyways you need Quirks II, I had a decent bit in Perks III also with a ~8 day reset to get there with pretty similar stats to what you have now.

I'm collecting EXP at a pretty decent pace now and I have a max lvl Wandoos 98. Should I be pushing Energy/Magic total now? Or power, or what? I'm currently idling in the Clock Work zone to get my clockwork set bonus complete and I've killed the first two titans.

You're supposed to be better off if you keep your things in proportion to each other, with 1 pow : 40k capacity : 1 bar being the recommended ratio at your point in the game. Get enough magic to activate any fruits you use (probably 300k for the pomegranate unless my memory is bad), but other than basically all your xp should be going to energy or whatever quality of life XP purchases from the Adventure Special/misc/ygg tabs are affordable.

Ignatius M. Meen posted:The biggest limiter on regular bone income is that you never have more than 1000 humans to kill on a map, and I'm not sure if detonated zombie bones count or not, so Small Investment actually is your best source of bone income for a long time unless you pump Bone Rate a lot (and it seems like it's more efficient to just pump Small Investment a lot). Like even level 9 of it is 1800 per wave, and you won't get half that from finishing level 45 normally. It speeds up construction a LOT and makes buying bone upgrades sensible. As far as I figured it out you can collect them, but they don't get automatically picked up at the end of the round. So detonate your zombies while there are still 2-3 "houses" left and send out all the collectors.

Do you have a fully kitted out set from 2D world? Generally the next thing you try to do is push up to the next adventure zone, to manually snag a few pieces if you can't idle it - then power those up to let you idle it. Have you completed one of each of the easier challenges? AutoBoost from the no equipment challenge in particular is a gamechanger for idling boosts into your equipped armor. Other than that yeah - keep your yggdrasil going (see what your next activate requirements are, if you can push to those) and boost up your energy/magic (more focus on energy). I'm about where you are, and I'm focusing on putting exp in energy cap so I can get to 5 million energy to activate the Fruit of Droprate or whatever it's called. Leveling the first fruit to level 10 and harvesting it with a poop is a good source of early seeds - make sure you have the perk that gives you poop from the tower you can earn while idle. Also for anyone else who's dumb like me - for Blood Magic you should be running the furthest down ritual that you can support with your gold per second - the bigger rituals are MUCH more blood per magic - while also being more gold per blood. So I'm making blood about 50x faster on the third ritual than the first with a level 20 time machine.

I did the first no-equipment challenge which took way longer then I expected it to, but I got that sweet auto-boost. I completed my clockwork-set and I'm now doing the 2d-set. Guess I'll try to stick to that ratio of 1:40k:1

Maybe if you like shift- or control- click it, it turns all the existing boosts in your inventory to that type of boost?

So if you detonate all your zombies when there's only a couple of humans alive and then kill those with newly spawned zombies, you'll get like 2000 bones. Not like it really matters with a game this short though

One possible suggestion - would you be able to scale the inventory to like 50% to fit twice/4x as much on? Or is this insane?

Finally finished the last Normal Troll challenge in NGU. Should probably rush through the No Equipment set next, since that's a static difficulty across the board but I have like 15 of those to do. Blind, No NGU and No Time Machine are the ones that I'm putting off the most at this point, though. Blind especially, even though the daycare boosts will probably help out so much as things begin take more than a day to gain a single level.

Finally picked this up when it released on Steam and I've been enjoying it a lot, but I have a few questions. The jump from killing UUG to being able to start on the Beardverse seems steep. Right now I'm just doing the ITOPOD for 24 hour rebirths to pump up beard levels and collect some perk points, also working on leveling Yggdrasil and some NGU's. Is there anything I'm missing that I should be doing? Also, what's the recommended energy:magic ratio? I'm currently using 3:1 since that's how the prices work out, is there a better ratio to work towards? For power:cap:bars I'm using 1:40,000:1 for both, I think I saw that in this thread somewhere, is that accurate enough?

Is there anything I'm missing that I should be doing? The beard wall is well known and longstanding. Finish your basics if you can, dump into NGU adventure ignoring the soft cap, and just keep on trucking with pushing your fruits. Eventually you'll get there. For ratios 3:1 is good, but by the end of normal you want to be working towards 1:1 as magic gets more useful. For power/cap/bar there is some ideal ratio but it's real close to cap and power cost the same amount and I'm way to lazy to do more math than punch in the number and see if costs match. Bars you play by feel, i think very few people have 1:1 power bars, generally anything faster than advanced training unlock time is a waste, and some people like to do even less ie they do gold set titan kills and don't need to be capped until 1hr. Personally I like to be capped at 6:20, when my advanced unlocks so I can walk away from the rebirth.

Eldercain posted:For ratios 3:1 is good, but by the end of normal you want to be working towards 1:1 as magic gets more useful. I'm at sadistic and I have 1:1 power:bars and about 2:1 energy:magic ratios. I feel like magic never becomes quite as useful as energy, although that equation has changed a bunch with wishes giving you an excess energy/magic dump. But before wishes, there would be a point where you just had tons of idle magic. With energy, you could always dump it into augmentation at least.

Every boost should be leveled to 100 once, as doing that gives you a 2% increase in boost value. After that, there's no point. Until you unlock automerge slots, no, there's no way to auto-combine items. Once you do, yes, you put it in the automerge slot.

Saraiguma posted:oh is that how that works? I thought that was for boosting other items Boosts can be applied to other items. They have a base value -- the base value is the number the boost is. 1 = 1. 5 = 5. 100 = 100. Etc. Leveling a boost to level 100 gives you a 2% permanent bonus when any boost is applied to an item. So if you get your Power Boost 1 to level 100, it's now worth 1.02 points when applied, as is a toughness boost or a special boost. And that applies to 5 point boosts, too, so those are worth 5.1 points. Leveling another boost to 100 gives you an additional 2% increase to the value of all boosts. And so on. This starts small but adds up over time, especially in combination with perks/quirks later on. 5k boosts for me are worth around 400k when applied. You can see what (if any) bonuses you get for leveling things to 100 on the Item List. Auto-merge slots auto-combine items of the same type and apply boosts to them, just like if the item were equipped.

In time, yeah, it's super useful. My boosts at late game are 150x as powerful as face value (not including recycling). So, for example, a 10 boost by itself is worth 1,500. With 100% recycling, that's ~2,700. It gets crazier when you get to boosts way higher than 10, but then gear boost requirements get way higher too, and cube becomes a significant source of stats. You can auto-concatenate them in the same way you can gear, such as auto merge inventory slots or daycare.
