got a weird bug(?) on caculator evolution: managed to get my first singularity, also popped the "singularity under 500 milliseconds" one with... -6934081371 seconds. guessing old saves from a few months ago went weird at some point between now and then gonna make the second singularity go much faster though.

That's quite a good bug to have, but another thing that's a bit more reliable which will make things noticeably faster is getting the achievement for 82 labs; not sure if you can do it on the first singularity but it's very doable on the second run. Gonna have to look up info on when to run these challenges though, need more grid stuff.

I just noticed the numbers in ethereal farm for the tree's level are also a percentage bar see the shading? it fills up with the brighter color the closer you are to leveling up.

Feels pretty satisfying to finally go post-scarce in Matter Dimensions, being able to run all the available elements while having enough points to React the important ones. 11 Collision Points and e54 Atoms! Early game automation is dire enough to not recommend it.

Matter Dimensions updated, new layer: Biological. And better quality of life upgrade positioning. My recommendation for it has perked up! http://semenar.ru/matter-dim-test/index.html

Voxx posted:Most of the content from then forward is mostly the same with just small differing strategies of pushing corruptions in cube run, offering/const run, and occasional c15 run. Each completion of alpha and beta changes things slightly in this regard but overall that's it, just managing that. It's the endgame. OK thats a shame Im not really sure what the difference between Synergism endgame and other games but I have zero motivation to continue increasing my numbers in Synergism. Maybe it simply feels too formulaic? Ascend, do initial challenges, turn off runes, buy a bunch of shards, cap talismans, turn on runes and do another challenge run then wait another day. Occasionally do an unobtainium or C15 run.

So Meta-Challenges, those originally gave you upgrade autobuyers. Now they keep your upgrades for that given layer. That's probably the biggest thing. Those autobuyers are now in the Automation Shop. Assumedly other QoL are shifted so they unlock earlier according to the changelog but I can't pick them out easily since I'm already butting against the end and a Hard Reset takes some time to take off.

Am I at the point where I don't have to keep doing the same Pho/Grav loop a thousand times? I'm at the point where I'm getting shards (or whatever the thing after vacuum it's called). I got 8 the last reset. I don't have all the P challenges but not the meta one. Have the G challenges done except the first 2, started some of the N challenges but I'm not sure they're all achievable yet. Did manage the 666 cheevo though.

I had a couple of shard upgrades up to unlocking the 6th producer I think last time and I don't remember if I had them. E: Nevermind, I asked the exact same question last time. Apparently it's one layer further than I was. GrossMurpel fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Mar 24, 2021 |

I'm at the point where I'm getting shards (or whatever the thing after vacuum it's called). I got 8 the last reset. Just looking at the new stuff, the dev increased the lower-layer points you start with on reset which should help. Used to be e.g. 1 shard, 2 VE, 3 neutrons, etc. but now it's 1/2/4/8/16. This means that when you unlock atomic, which will be a while for you yet, then you'll start getting 4 neutrons on every reset. That lets you immediately buy the "keep photonic upgrades on gravitonic" and especially "gravitonic upgrades are based on max gravitons ever" upgrades, which together will let you skip a huge chunk of the building up phase. Looks like the gravitonic upgrade autobuyer costs 1024 shards now, which is a huge difference - previously you couldn't get it until late atomic. I don't see where the photonic upgrade autobuyer went, maybe an achievement?

Bitburner is one of those that I remember being quite fun the first time through but then kind of peetering out during the other variations. Hacking together a bunch of scripts to automate the runs was definitely unique, though. Especially once you get access to being able to script your own 'self'. Also I remember that scripting the stockmarket was far and away the most effective way to make money which felt a bit silly when so much of the early stuff is all about making money off of servers.

In Matter Dimensions, I seem to have broken my ability to auto-buy Neutronic resets? When I check the box now, things just kind of stop, and I'm stuck with a single Matter dimension bought, 0 matter, and 1 antimatter. I haven't seen any other auto-buyers turned off that should be affecting it, and I'm way past the point where earning a single one should be any sort of challenge.

I’ve had that happen and fixed it by setting the neutronic reset threshold higher, like 1e10 or so.

It's not portable and you can keep track of several games with different dated saves if you ever need to roll back because of a bug. Header is idle games then I just insert a new row every day or so and as I export any saves that day they go in. It also makes a nice history of every idle game you have played and a place to see just how long ago you did stop playing when you go to pick it back up to see if you should start over or try and work from your save.

The key is just to remember the basic tenet of the stock market: Buy Low and Sell High. The fact that you can cause stocks to be worth 50% less or 50% more basically at will makes manipulating that easy. As for beans, I think those are best suited for going into Dice first. When you can triple on a win, clone your dice to double your winnings, and force a victory 95% of the time, things get crazy quick.

NGU - when do augments and the time machine start being worthwhile? I may not be using them right. My optimal rebirth time is probably still somewhere in the ~30 min range so I don't know if I should be using them just because I unlocked them.

Augments are for mostly for challenges and pushing higher bosses for adventure zones and unlocks. The Time Machine starts paying out both when you get to 24h rebirths (and thus have more time to build levels in it) and when you start building permanent multipliers from Beards/NGU

Play with the augments a bit, figure out which one gives the best return on an amount of energy you won't miss elsewhere, and set it and forget it. You're early on enough that you should be keeping your energy in basic training anyway.

In matter dimensions some of the photonic challenges require "infinite matter". Is that something that can be reached later? Currently my limit is 1e20 matter. It is wierd that some of the challenges unlocked early seems to have an unreachable goal. Edit: Aha, I guess it is because the goal is over my resource limit.
