On the other end of relaxing, there's http://semenar.ru/matter-dim-test/index.html, which is similar in structure to antimatter dimensions but different in content. There's a lot of game here, with lots of prestige layers.

Man that's a hefty list of starting penalties. Feels like you're starting the game out doing ten challenges simultaneously.

Yeah Matter Dimensions is more like "gently caress you game, I'm overcoming these penalties". For reference, if anyone else was as confused as me: You do not need to wait for any of those productions to go up or anything, the first reset happens when you hit 1 energy (accumulates automatically and should take about 15min IIRC). Also, it's quite active and takes a long time until you get to keep your automation on reset. GrossMurpel fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Feb 12, 2021 |

pretty cool idle game based around closed-loop water cycles on a planetship: http://stopsign.github.io/Terrafold/ notes: *starts super-active, then suddenly becomes super-idle *your soil is limited, and you can't delete farms. don't overbuild them, or you'll get softlocked; i ran comfortably off 20 for the initial phase of the game. *there doesn't appear to be an export/import system? if someone figures out how to export/import, please let me know!

I think you can avoid that softlock if you make sure to get the science to unlock computers before you run out of land.

Wait, so storage fills up and income increases, and rain happens and make land and OH GOD I NEED TO KEEP BUYING ICE OHGODWHERE'STHEAUTOMATION oh okay, computer lets me just auto buy ice. Time to set my population to half cash and all my numbers are going up, time to go to bed." I look forward to seeing what else I can poke at when I come back to it tomorrow. And yes, I know I can buy ice in lots of up to 1000 at the start, its more the needing/wanting to get the automated ice buying going so I don't come back to "Your people all died multiple times over and the land returned to arid dirt" like what basically happened in Kitten game/Evolution if you didn't set job ratios properly.

There's a lot of game here, with lots of prestige layers. What am i missing with this one? I bought all the photonic upgrades 2/1 times but it didnt really speed things up all that much and the next upgrade costs 47 photonic and the gains level off long before you can buy the 2nd dimension?

Check the achievements page. There are permanent bonuses in there and the specific early one you want is 'Formula Break' which multiplies photon gain by 3.14. The 47 photon upgrade will get you to the next reset currency.

Aha, ok i have gravitrons now. Still feels like i am doing something wrong. Getting one of those just unlocked another menu but didn't give any boost to production, it looks like i need to redo everything i have done so far to gain the next point to actually boost production?

The only actual mercy is that you still get 3 Photons at minimum per reset, because that's an achievement. Inertia upgrades don't reset either, which helps a lot with getting through to making Graviton not just a waste of your time, but it's still pretty lovely that it resets everything with no actual benefit.

Yeah the first reset of every new layer is "start with some currency of the lower layers and no bonii  ". It's pretty annoying.

It leaks 0.0001% oxygen per tick, and I've got 80/tick income, therefore giving a theoretical max of ~8mil. What I've got so far:

While Terrafold is neat, I do have one minor complaint, in that I wish the game would tell you how many mines you had built. I'm assuming that if the robots can't build more mines, then I'm at the limit, but it would be nice to see that with my own eyes.

After an overnight resource farming i could buy the tractor beam in the morning. At first glance it felt pretty pointless, as it didn't really do much to my numbers but all of a sudden i have millions of trees and soil. I guess the landmass the tractor pulls down from space scales or something?

kind of at a loss for getting to the layer after gravitonic in matter dimensions, not sure if i just need to do long runs to upgrade stuff that costs 100k+ photons to progress or what

Full explanation: All production upgrades through to 6, PC1-3 completed, and store 6 gravitons. Enter PC3, buy everything up to at least 2000 photons. Skip the 1st dim upgrades past the 1 cost of the 2nd photonic upgrade Then you skip buying more then one 1st matter dimension, and protect your antimatter. Once your antimatter exceeds the protection, turn off your protection and let your antimatter remove all of your matter. That should remove the nerf based on your total matter, and you should be able to slowly reach 2 neutrons.

Feline Mind Meld posted:anything worth playing usually shows up in the reddit incremental and if you want you can trawl places like almost idle but the genre kind of hit it's apex already so the good ones are father apart as people don't have as many new mechanic ideas or the time to polish the old ones The real problem is that people work on a core loop, and then make the game just go on until infinity, a problem exacerbated by the countless mobile idlers. It's never about bigger numbers. It's always about what those bigger numbers get you, but that is currently an afterthought among most developers. The numbers themselves don't actually matter all that much. I know, heresy.

Been a while but I'm pretty sure in Matter Dimensions you can just turn off the antimatter protection to make sure it all gets destroyed, and then you can easily go above 100 matter and buy a new dimension. You do need the photonic challenges.

I would love a numberless incremental. Give me some nice circles/bars/etc that fill up, and unlock more stuff to watch fill up and make other stuff fill up faster. Combine that with some non-programmer art and maybe some actual sound design, and that would be the ultimate soothing game for me.
