Elethor is such a janky system lmao. Hopefully they spend some money on better servers soon. Mining is particularly hosed when you try to change nodes, which 99.9% of the time it won't let you.

There's now like, 4 more goons than there are spots in the corp (the max is 20). The good news is, items can still be transferred from the corp bank to players outside, if you come to the goon channel on NGU's discord we can set that up and you can ask questions about the game. If we get enough extra players, we might have one of our higher-level players make a new corp so that newer players can also run incursions (daily fights against waves of monsters for decent loot) and level the fame skill (effects corp buffs).

Elethor news: 1) There's one slot left in the corp but I've lost track of who's been invited or not. Next person to post gets the slot. We might have 1-2 more slots coming open soon. 2) If you choose to participate in the corp event, please make sure you can reach about 1200 total points. You get counted into the average whether you donate one or six times, and if you need help with materials, feel free to ask here, in corp chat, or on either discord. We want to reach rank A while still having as many participants as possible, since two rank A events will get a new player to level 3 fame, but two rank B events will not. Most mob drops in the Hard category tend to be pretty expensive but Mediums are almost as many points (you can get to 1200 easily with 6 mediums) and we probably have some of them around already. Skasix and Jaspil are ores that don't have much use in the game so they're pretty cheap and come up in the Hard category sometimes. Just don't take Easy ones unless your options in Medium and Hard are ridiculously expensive. I also have tons of scrap which I think can come up in any category, the market for scrap is kind of screwed right now but we have it. 3) I have a new spreadsheet which includes a multikill calculator among several other new features.

The NGU Breadverse set bonus says that you get "less crappy cards"; does this mean a shift upward in quality? I feel like I'm burning a lot more Mayo since I finished the set because I'm getting a lot more cards that are worth casting, but IDK if that's just confirmation bias and random chance.

It changes the rarity value range from 0.80-1.2 to 0.85-1.2 when generating cards. That means that there's less of a chance of getting Crappy rarity cards since they fall between 0.80 and 0.90 in rarity value.

So NGU Industries is dead in the water apparently. Anyone know any other good Steam Idle games? I like stuff where new features unfold and add new layers to the game. I'm currently running Idling to Rule the Gods, but any others would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah I'm at stage 285 in WAMI and have been really enjoying it. I bounced off of Idling to rule the gods pretty hard but this one has the same feel of unlocking new stuff that kept me invested with NGU for so long. That said I just unlocked the slime lab and i hate that the auto experiment is 200,000 souls because as far as I can tell I just need to always be clicking experiment now to discover new recipes?

Luckily you dont need to experiment all that often; I ended up just never buying auto experiment because now I only have minor prestige left and it's not worth it just for that.

I'm currently running Idling to Rule the Gods, but any others would be appreciated. Thanks. I really like Your Chronicle a lot. Has a lot of progression systems and fairly regular content updates, and also has a good balance between short term objectives that require active play and long term ones you can work towards overnight or longer. The games two biggest downsides are 1) until you unlock the main automation feature you'll be doing a lot of clicking buttons and/or waiting to click buttons and 2) the ubiquitous for the genre practice of putting far too many quality of life features behind a premium currency shop.

I'm currently playing Your Chronicle, and it's definitely a lot of fun. I do like the idea of making a branching narrative with multiple endings, and tying that in to the usual prestige loop that idle games do. Like you said though, it takes a lot of active play before you even get a whiff of any automation or QoL. Last time I played, I ended up quitting before getting the first ending and therefore access to a lot of the automation. Hopefully it's gonna go better this time around!

The Ninth Layer posted:I really like Your Chronicle a lot. [...] the ubiquitous for the genre practice of putting far too many quality of life features behind a premium currency shop. I wouldn't recommend anyone get into it though, as it is VERY active and not particularly generous with your time. And the interface is not very good. For me, the first couple of cash shop purchases were required to make good use of time, and I ended up spending $100 on it to get all the party slots, party templates, shortcut slots, and some other stuff. The reasoning being, if I'm going to spend a bunch of real-life time with this game, I may as well get as much QoL as possible. But now that I've spent all the real-life money, it feels like I'm more committed to spending the real-life time. If the automation was more like Groundhog Life or Idle Loops, where you set up a growing chain of activities that take you from birth to reincarnation, I would definitely recommend the game. Instead, even when you throw all your money at it, the best the automation ("Sloth") does is let you farm hard-to-get resources for the next 2 hours or so until you're able to do more active clicking. I just did my third ED4 and it seems like once you get to that point you can just leave it on to farm Sin, but prior to that point the best use of your time is to keep doing manual reincarnations over and over which don't get much faster or funner. I would love to send a time portal back to prevent myself from starting this game so I could have spent the time with the several "real" video games I have purchased in the meantime. This may not be the best possible use of a time portal though.

You can send a sports almanac back with the note telling you not to play a specific idle game in the same time portal! Two birds with one wormhole! I also played a good bit of Your Chronicle without spending money. The automation isn't really that important, you can passively accumulate a lot of resources with the right party members. I found it fun to push up my stats with gluttony and gradually make my way through the various reincarnation paths. But any time you feel tempted to spend a hundred bucks on any game is the time to take a step back and reevaluate things. All of us number junkies are susceptible to things that make the numbers go up faster. Even if you end up spending hundreds of hours, I'd try to never spend more than 10-20 bucks on an idle game. Remember, the real numbers are the ones you earned on the journey, not the ones at the end. (Personally I can't enjoy a game if I spend money on unlocks I could have gotten over time. I only generally pay for no-ads or to give the dev some money like I did with NGU)

Even with those upgrades bought there's still a lot of changes they could make to improve QoL but you know they're gonna be locked up in that Ruby shop.

Aurora posted:i'm pretty sure a normal rebirth consitutes interrupting yggdrasil growing and also i have to reallocate everything again You can just click the Laser Sword challenge when you rebirth. Nothing else changes. If you aren’t rebirthing every 24 hours or so, why not? That’s the fastest way to make the numbers go up. And some even if it’s not every day, it still doesn’t reset anything when you do. A normal rebirth would end by harvesting, but yes, you’d have to play the game and allocate resources. I know I’m not because I’m extra lazy with it right now, but I’d be much closer to finishing the game if I were to do so. I’m just running out of things to do in the game, so I forget to do anything with it.

Yeah, I basically just did the Laser Sword challenges as part of my daily routine. Do my daily rebirth, start laser sword challenge, finish it in like 5 minutes, move on with my life. I do agree it would be nice to have the rewards there, but also it's literally no effort to tack it on to a normal rebirth and you're almost certainly doing more than 20 rebirths per difficulty.
