I have an idea, let's make a site to compile all the Frequently Asked Questions about Games I've gotten used to discord-as-a-resource honestly. When Synergism just got its big update, it was actually more clear what was outdated and what was not, and it's nice to be able to ask a question directly if something's unclear or not mentioned in a guide post. It's just a nightmare for anyone who's into things like "organization" and "formatting"

I think the wiki companies that just make wikis for every new game as banner ad click farms kind of soured a whole generation on the concept. People have the sense the wikis are bad or outdated because a lot of bad ones are. I wish game wikis in the west were more like the Japanese style where they just kind of look like if old GameFAQs had actual hyperlinks in the FAQs. Here's an example for FFXIV: https://game8.jp/ff14

it doesn't help that without ad block they make your computer chug and with them they still serve ads with sound I agree they're better and honestly mine defense solved this problem by just hosting the drat wiki. it's not like synergism isn't on its own host with Patreon support

Melvor idle is boring in a lot of ways, but they have a kick rear end wiki. The ad farm wikis are just terrible and no one can maintain them or spend more than 12 seconds on them because you wouldn't be able to see the content if there was any. They're also terribly easy to create pages and edit pages too. Minimal formatting, and just type.

idle games needing a discord is not good, especially since there's Reddit and you can just make a sub if you don't want a wiki. I like the ngu discord but it has nothing to do with enjoying or knowing about the game

The channel are named at the milestone you have most recently accomplished not what content it is for. Hope that helps you make sense of them. The challenge ones really do not make sense like this because numbers, but when you get to Alpha Beta Omega it makes sense, or did to me.

Len posted:i mean i'm not a smart man, but i kind of assumed the channel labelled challenge 10 would give me pointers for what point i could finish it It's not you, it's the imprecision of the language used. It's not a hard fix either, but it would require the use of prepositions like: from, to, until, before, after, etc. Bothered the crap out of me too when I saw it. It doesn't help precision that the limits are repeated in the next room name either (but only sometimes). The Synergism updates made things smooth out for me in row 2 platonic upgrades, but it's still an optimization and timing problem to get through it and it just wasn't doing it for me anymore. It's just not intuitive gameplay at that point in platonic. Earlier game play was a lot of fun and was easy enough to figure out, but corruptions ruined things for me. You can't just try a bunch of different things out and get progress done. It's a bummer, but honestly I hope the dev goes and takes a month or two off (at least) and deal with what they need to deal with.

Synergism: When I ascend, auto-reincarnate breaks until I turn it off, let enough Mythos build up, and then smack a manual reincarnate. Is there a way to fix this, so I can just let it Do The Thing? Also, does Auto-Ascension ever become a thing? I don't see the unlock anywhere, yet.

Autos are very good when you unlock them then quickly become a trap you should turn off becuase they actually slow you down. Auto ascend is worthless the moment you unlock it. It's on the corruption tab

Ok, yeah, but I could really use the cubes/tesseracts right now, so having a functional auto-reincarnate would be much nicer than having one that breaks the game.

Change the auto-reincarnate settings from doing it based on power to real-time of reincarnation. That's the only way to manage before you can afford the cube upgrade that lets you earn particles automatically.

Or at the very least like super inefficient but works information. Guaranteed a least a couple dozen people will not bother to life a finger to create something but sure as hell will edit existing poo poo to show off how much more they know and better they are at the game than whoever put together what they're looking at.

Export your saves frequently. If something like that ever happens and you miss progress, loading an exported save will calculate all your offline progress from the time of the save. Come to think of it, it might not work with auto-ascend, I forget. But soon enough you move on to long-run ascensions, and if you make a save before going offline you can always reclaim that time.
