For Alk, does stage 1 proceed into stage 2? i remember getting to the end? of stage one.

Each stage is a complete reset but 1 will link to 2 will link to 3 once you're done with them.

1 and 2 are really basic and straightforward, you can easily knock both of them out in 2 hours or so. Stage 3 is the real meat of the series.

This game is cute and also somehow it's an ad for a book set in the same world? That's actually a brilliant idea and I'm a big fan of that even if I have no idea if I will ever want to read the book because I did not read a single fact about it.

I finished it last night and it's a very straightforward but still satisfying idler, although the book synopsis doesn't seem that interesting :sweatdrop:

When is the update planned to roll out on NGU? Does it typically hit all platforms simultaneously?

Edit: And while i'm at it, what are the priority ITOPOD perks to pick up now i'm earning about 10 points a day? Reading the descriptions it seems like the seed upgrades would be best as that in turn would net me more boosts for other things?

They all update within the same hour (4G has to go to each site and upload the correct build for that platfrom)
4G pushes the update out the day it's ready for the most part so "soon" there's beta builds on Kong.

Is there a way to turn it off? I'm not seeing any option in the settings.

Hey something, is there an 8 character limit to the custom purchase input for Energy Power on purpose? Tried to write in 100000000 and it won't let me put the final 0. I noticed that Energy Cap allows for higher numbers but Bars likewise caps at 8 characters. Seems to replicate for Magic and R3. Any plans to increase the character limit for the Power/Bars custom inputs?

I've finally gotten back into Idle Skiller. It's really obvious the creator loves new stuff and hates, uh, optimizing and QoL. It's funny because it's fun how many numbers to get bonuses to, but there's so many things that are just aggravating too.

If we're making something take a look at UI stuff, the inputs on the Advanced Training screen are broken on PC.

On other menus (ex: the NGU screen), I can alter target amounts while the bar is filling or BBd. On the AT screen, it looks like every level gain resets focus on the target input boxes, which makes it impossible to change target values while you're BBing a skill.

I feel like this could be an area that could use some QOL.

If I could click on a little button next to my current energy power and either have it auto fill into the custom purchase box, or get copied to my clipboard, that'd be kinda neat.

I'm not asking for that specifically, but you get the sentiment, right? An easy way to select custom energy related to the current value.

Shows you how much exp you’ve spent so far. Keeping them balanced for cap and energy is the rule of thumb

I don't know what the other posters are saying or doing, but I almost always double my Base value, that's the purchase I make on almost all occasions. The actual pattern, in order to prevent large complicated numbers forming that I have to manually input, is (as an example): 1000 when Base is 1000. Then the next purchase jumps a little to 3000 (for a total base of 5000). Then two more doublings in order (5000, 10000), before repeating the slight jump again, 30000. This keeps the whole thing simple when it comes to inputs, because if I just doubled Base every time I'd eventually get a really complicated string of numbers to manually input.


Falcon2001 posted:

I mean I think I can but I really don't want to? Unless that's the only way to solve this I've been using the standard notation for close to two years now, so... EDIT: Just checked, changing notation style does not affect the XP menu. Which means that yeah, the character limit for Power/Bars is currently insurmountable if this isn't a bug.

I think Dr. Arbitrary's suggestion is what I think would be the best and what they mean is the Base value, not the Current/Total one (which is post-modifiers and probably always out of purchasing reach).

Yeah, we're in the same page.

So if your base energy is is 7000, you click on the base energy, or a little icon near the base energy, or make the base energy something you can highlight then copy/paste.

Then you can put that as your custom amount, and you can see how much the exp cost is for your current amount (for keeping things roughly balanced), or remove one digit to make it 10%, or if it's 7000, change the 7 to a 1, and get 1000.

I'm trying to be really open ended on how it should be implemented and stick to the problem statement:

As a NGU player, I would like to be able to use my current base values to set my custom purchase amount.

Ugh, it sucks that there's no good pick for the Krissmuss choice in the Money Pit. The theme hurts my eyes too much to ever use, so that'd be a waste and everything else is such a minor gain that it saves virtually no time and gives zero help. :sigh:
