So Evil is pretty slow, huh. What is the first major milestone to aim for? Right now I am just slowly climbing upwards with 30 min rebirths.

After that the preferred strategy is the Nerd rush, where you should be mostly just ITOPOD grinding until you can kill the next Titan, he is guaranteed to drop at least 1 piece of better equipment than your Choco gear. Its slow but its faster than farming the first 2 zones in Evil.

Alright, I'll see if I can do that, though I am mostly gaining around 4-5 levels per rebirth as it is, and I bet that's gonna slow down soon as well. Cheers!

Two small feature requests for Endless Battle: 1) In the Quest Summary screen, you can see the total bonuses you've earned from completing quests. It seems to be that the same bonuses on different layer tiers stack multiplicatively (if I'm wrong here, correct me!) and I think it would be convenient if we could easily tell which bonuses came from which layer tier. One way would be to separate each tier into it's own page, so you're always taken right to the page with the relevant layer's bonuses, or possibly just making it one big page with each layer having a separate section, with the currently selected layer highlighted. 2) More automation please  right now, all the various Creation upgrade currencies make it somewhat tedious to go through and buy upgrades, and since I'm just trying to buy the cheapest ones as I can afford them, I wouldn't mind throwing an auto-buy option into that screen. The only currency on that screen you might not want to spend immediately are the regular power gems, but even then you don't need more than 100-150k at a time. This probably wouldn't be the optimal way to upgrade everything, since not all the upgrades are equally valuable, but with all the currencies spread among all the layers it would save a fair bit time trying to eyeball currency costs.I'll hold off on requesting auto-upgrading magic spells since those have significant difference in power and you most definitely want to actually put thought into those

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:for SM20 you really should be reading the collapse channel chat and it has some good guides on how to tackle the sluggish milestones This is one of the things that really irks me about their server. Technically I shouldn't be there anymore because I have darkness unlocked. They've got everything out down into these channels but it's actually meaningless because *gasp* you can do things in different orders!

These idle game Discord servers with 500 channels are poo poo, who knew. Even kongregate chat is much better for simple beginner questions. For the sluggish milestones, you pretty much just need to get one or two more aleph upgrades than you had for the last one and then simply go up to the max amount of boosts you're allowed for the milestone and do as many challenges as possible there. I think they're pretty well balanced but then again I'm still amazed how the booster upgrades and challenges work together. I think the longest SM took me like 6 hours?

Manyorcas posted:Two small feature requests for Endless Battle: Quests from different layers that benefit the same resource do stack multiplicatively. I recently uploaded a new build (125) that adds some extra information to the quest summary menu. The Steam and Android versions should be out. The iOS is in review. My hang up with automation is that, even though I made the game, I don't really know how to play it optimally. Regular upgrades are easy because there's no decision to be made (just buy all of them right away), but for things like spending prestige resources versus hanging on to them to receive a boost, or buying one creation upgrade versus buying a different upgrade, that's really complex and I don't think I'm capable of building something that makes good decisions.

shs posted:Quests from different layers that benefit the same resource do stack multiplicatively. Oh yeah, I'm making this request having no idea how to play optimally either. It'd be really hard and complicated to find that I think! My specific request was just to automate my own very simplistic method of choosing upgrades, which honestly is pretty selfish of me Thank you very much for the update, the layer building material mechanic of the game is interesting.

A silly little NGU interface thing I would like is that I've got a mouse with a wheel that can be rocked left or right and I'd love for doing so to change the inventory page accordingly. e: Also being able to drag one Loadout button onto another to swap their names/sets so that I could easily reorder my Loadout buttons.

So I'm still fairly eary on in Evil (doing the basic challenges), and I've noticed that while the Evil NGUs are pretty strong, they are also incredibly slow. Is it better to just continue building up the normal NGUs for now and leave the evil ones for when I can complete them within a reasonable timeframe?

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:7 beards, 7 slots. Yeah, I realized after postings it's way more situation dependent then just setting it and forgetting it until you get all seven slots Pope Guilty posted:I think I mentioned it before but you really don't want to go into Evil without the golden beard because due to the massive decrease in time machine leveling speed it's going to be your main source of GPS increases for a bit, and being able to make use of your Gold Diggers is going to help a lot. Maybe do a few rebirths to get some permanent levels built up first. I will definitely do that before Evil, I'm sitting at 5/7 on Troll Challenges right now and the last one I started running out of steam right as I was getting to the target so I'm going to push a bit more to the end of normal before doing another round of challenges.

So I'm playing Evolve and I have two questions: first, I managed to turn off my barracks and now have no soldiers, how do I fix that? second, how do I turn on power to my wardenclyffs (or however you spell that)? e: Ugh, after letting my mind wander the intuitive solution came to me and I saw the green button in the other corner for both of them... at least now I won't get rolled over when the kingdom I've been raiding tries to strike back.

Congrats something! Where do i take Synergism now? I have all researches including 2x25 completed, but 3x21 to 5x25 are not unlocked, how do i unlock those? Closing in on all runes maxed and all 4 talismans at 180 (2-4-5 spec) Over e400 GC's Ant multiplier is a couple of mil. Im still miles away from completing C10; getting e250ish but need e1000.

Ineptitude posted:Welp, the guide says 2-4-5 for the period before C10 That's only until you can trigger Prism Rune blessing, which is at 1000 combined levels between talismans and actual levels. As soon as you can trigger that, you go 1/3/5 and ride ants to glory, only swapping to 1/2/4 for pushing your particles and challenge completions periodically. Your biggest roadblock will be green talisman fragments, because your first C10 clear really demands three red talismans.

OM has a lot of potential factors that can gently caress you over. This includes giving advice if someone misremembers how high something should be for it to be good enough. The biggest ones for preparing before going for a SM are: - aleph upgrades, which in turn require - aleph power (0-1-2, and if you've got aleph upgrade (AU) 7, aleph omega as well) - whether you're skipping any previous SMs (SM20 in particular is notably impactful) And within a run: - challenge completions of course, with the SM objective limiting which ones are even possible - challenge 8 decrementy / dark manifold farming - incrementy / manifold farming (can be done during the final push to BHO; will have some pronounced breakpoints of really speeding up progress) - booster upgrades used during the final push to BHO (1/2/3 as usual, until your SM target is so low you can't get that) When in doubt, push to the next aleph upgrade (or however many past that, if they don't seem too far off) and get enough of a stock of aleph power that the multipliers visibly start moving again when you assign it out.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the problem is I'm not at 1e7 on each aleph thing which is what the pinned guide says to be at, but the smug posters in that discord seemed to think I should be significantly farther along than I am. If would be great if you could bulk boost BHO
