I tried playing evolve but can't even get past early civilization because it seems to want me to click to gather lumber hundreds of times. Am I missing something?

yeah lmao the automation script that does it for you (building a house will let you start a population that you can assign to do tasks in the Civic tab like gathering lumber once you've researched Primitive Axes, and later on you can buy upgrades to increase the manual gathering speed)

You go to the government tab and assign citizens to be lumberjacks to automatically collect lumber (and eventually other resources).

Yeah Evolve is very slow (which I like) but it's definitely not a "clicker" by any means.

I use an autoclicker (OP Autoclicker 3.0) that I can toggle on and off with F6 and it gets through that stuff fast. And as others have said you quickly are able to assign citizens to do it for you.

Sitting on 75% regular mastery, a little shy of 3000 plasmids and 170 phage. Should I just keep 3* bioseeding a bit more to fill out achievements or should I proceed to the next reset type? Any tips for early Black Hole resets?

You've got far more mastery than you need while also having far too little phage, somehow. Either way you could easily 3* BH out and the only real tip is to make sure to do a proper inheritance setup first including Ent and Human in the line somewhere. E: Actually with the event still going on Human - Ent - Bunny would be ideal for early game inheritance structure. Rynoto fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Apr 25, 2022 |

Lots of 3* MADs to systematically get achievements, and only recently started doing Bioseeds; game tells me I've done 70 MADs and 6 Bioseeds. So if I BH out, which Universe should I shoot for first? I'm vaguely aware the thread recommends hopping around all the Universes for their specific Achievements, unless I'm mistaken.

I did the first black hole at around 29% mastery and 250 phage, you should be fine. Now I'm doinking around in antimatter. I did it as Ents and inherited Armored from Tortoisian to help with the Hell Dimension.

I've been playing WAMI recently, suits my style pretty nicely (lots of management options, not much micro needed - that burned me out in Trimps). Just got to stage 380. I like that it feels like something constantly improves no matter what I focus on. Apparently the dev is releasing a new game soon, hope it's also nice.

You should be fine with any of them if you just want to explore the game. Heavy is pretty easy, and it'll be the fastest way to build up the phage that you need by doing bioseed resets. Once you get bored of that, Antimatter is a good choice. It'll be a little slow at first, but you'll soon get upgrades that will let your plasmids partially apply in antimatter, and vice-versa. But seriously, don't be afraid to goof around in another universe for fun. You get dark matter by switching, and you'll get some universe mastery while exploring. Then, later, when you come back with a specific goal, like getting certain achievements, you'll be on better footing and more familiar with the quirks.

Main universe recommendation: Heavy - best place for general long-term hangout because of the bonus to prestige currencies. By the time this benefit is less significant, you should be in a good place to make informed decisions on your own. Good for temporary early visits: Antimatter - to stockpile some 3k+ antiplasmids and get Bleed 1 crispr. Evil - to flag extinction and greatness related to angelic races, preferably before your first ascension. ---- Tangential side note: at some point when bouncing around between the above three, and NOT on your way OUT of Antimatter, do the Decay challenge. It's not much worse than a regular BH run in (non-Antimatter) universes, and it gives a nice perk. Feel free to visit and check out their mechanics, but generally blow off until, say, post-ascension: Micro Magic Can safely never (*) return: Standard (*) With the exception of the "White Hole" achievement / perk, for BH-ing out of Standard. If you don't 4* on your initial exit, at some point you should circle back to upgrade this to 4*.

Venuz Patrol posted:i returned to Standard for 4* technophobe and ascension farming. it has a better dark matter bonus than the other universes True, I could see the appeal of Standard's dark energy bonus, though I'd still prefer the long-term progression benefits from Heavy. Not sure about the 4* technophobe part, unless you mean your very first 4* technophobe in any universe (in which case the biggest help is having done a 3* technophobe first). Otherwise, 4* technophobe in any non-Micro universe, like any other achievement, counts as 4* technophobe in Standard too.

Honestly I might pick up trimps again. I had just reached the second dimension in trimps before, so I had played a fair amount of it, but man trimps is a good time. If you script it.

I love trimps because you can set it and forget it for a few weeks, then come back and optimize. It's been perpetually open in a browser window since 2017.

Which is exactly what I want in an idle game. I want to touch them once every 12-48 hours. I enjoy optimizing, achieving breakpoints, and watching numbers go up. Trimps gud.

I started playing evolve again after like a year. I'm doing a black hole reset and I'm tired of waiting to know how many more hours it's going to take to get to the point where I can reset. I wrote this JS console snippet that I think is correct, but I'd like some independent verification of my math. foo = setInterval(function() { exoticMassRemaining = ['Elerium', 'Infernite'].map(res => evolve.global.interstellar.mass_ejector[res] * evolve.atomic_mass[res]).reduce((acc, cur)=>acc+cur); console.log((0.025 - evolve.global.interstellar.stellar_engine.exotic) / (exoticMassRemaining/1e10) / 60 ); }, 5000) [Edit] it was correct.

So I finally tried Mine Defense and my goodness it is a good idling time, but at some point the slow pace of it burnt me out. Evolve did the same thing, unfortunately. I'm really into substantial paradigm shifts but something about the whole "yeah this'll take five hours of keeping the tab open (and these days, active) can really kick me out of the game. I really liked Prestige Tree; are there any other high-activity paradigm-shift-y games out there at the moment?

Orb of creation is pretty high activity and has a ton of different resources and upgrade paths for you to pursue at any time. You can always look at prestige tree mods too though lots of them are more waiting than puzzling.

Is curious how having 1000 hours in an incremental game is normal, where in other type of games means you are pretty addicted to that game. Sometimes 1000 hours in a incremental game means you are pretty addicted to that game. I stopped playing Evolve, did not get what I want from a incremental from it.

Mine defense is old enough that removing the clicking was still seen as sacrilege. Like who would want to play a game with no interaction? An Auto clicker was standard with players and sometimes devs screamed at it as cheating. Clicker game community still exists and still yell about auto clickers. So glad idle branched off.

Tokelau All Star posted:Evolve: Should I get Synchronicity and Astral Awareness before bouncing out of Antimatter? No. You only want to spend Anti-plasmids on Bleed as you'll be able to spend normal plasmids in other universes and Bleed is universe specific while the others in the chain are not.

Playing mine defense is one of the things that helped me break into JavaScript programming. Making simple functions to check gem amounts and click buttons on timers and such.

Some evolve questions: I'm at 95% general mastery, 960 plasmids, 375 phage. 4* Joyless, Steelen, Valdi done. I just did my first blackhole into evil, grabbed an eden planet, and I'm working through MADs to pick up the evil-specific achievements. I can do 2-3 MADs a day depending on how closely I monitor things, so I don't think it'll take too long to be ready to get out of evil. When I bioseed to get the angelic race achievement, which is going to be faster, seraph or unicorn? Unicorn feels like it'll be better because I can build shrines to get a wide variety of bonuses, but the temple boost on seraph seems like it might be really good with theocracy to get through the end-of-bioseed neutronium slog. I'm not looking forward to this because knowledge is so slow to gain with these races. I know that becomes a lot less important toward mid-bioseed when you don't need knowledge as much, but it's still not pleasant. When I go over to antimatter, I should have ~1500 plasmids saved up for the CRISPR upgrades, right? However, I'm wondering if I should grind for a bit to pick up "Standard" (Challenge 4) first. I also don't have Mutation 2+3+Transendence, which would cost a total of 6250, but I'm assuming that will come in time and I shouldn't focus on it. My thinking is to grind up Challenge 4, save up 1500 plasmids, then do Decay during my jump over to antimatter and just get down to slogging through 4* runs and pick up Bleed.
