A lot of things have happened to me over my life.

So it's actually showing up as a drain in the left-side panel? If you hover over that production number it'll tell you exactly what's producing and consuming it at that exact moment, so you should be able to figure out what's up.

I thought that too, but when I hover it always just says income from the trade. I think the hover popup doesn't update while it's pulled up, and the drain only lasts for a split second, so I've haven't been able to catch it while it's draining. It looks like it never lets my steel get up over 150 before it drops it to 0.

is the script building endless container ports?? or garages or wharves i guess, if you're in spayyyyce

It looks like it's the containers. It built 2300 containers for stone for some reason. I can hold 10 million stone! So that's good I guess. I wonder what it's trying to accomplish.

Edit - Grain silos. It was trying to build more grain silos. Come on script! I don't need to store more food, I need to launch our bioseed into the universe!

Listen, Evolve is my favorite incremental of all time, but I'm done waiting for soul gems, and you can be done too!

code:
 document.getElementById('statsPanel').__vue__.r.Soul_Gem.amount += 10000000 

Trying this but it's not working for me. Been trying to dig around in the source to see what's changed but no luck so far. Anyone else got any ideas?

Most scripts are intentionally dumb to give you, the player, choices. So you play via script that lets you automate large chunks and you tweak the settings. When done right you should get the feeling that you are working on a machine that is still actively moving down the highway at full speed and your trying to smooth out the breaks.

Evolve's script is, out of the box, designed more for the mid-game player. There's just far too many variables involved for it to be a catch-all type thing so requires constant tweaking based on what point of the game you're at.

The 'trigger' settings are especially powerful to make everything more efficient.

I poked around at the trigger settings menu and couldn’t figure it out at all. I figured I’d shelve it until I really needed it.

If you want to cut down this behaviour the Storage Settings let you set maximums on the number of crates/etc it will build per resource, or you can just flat out turn off crating per resource.

It's a very simple if-then.
ex: Moon bases you want the script to immediately build two of each mine and not use all the support on one, which can happen early on due to lack of building capacity so you'll do:
Type: Built ID: Moon Base Count: 1 Type: Build ID: Moon Iridium Mine Count: 2
Type: Built ID: Moon Base Count: 1 Type: Build ID: Moon Helium-3 Mine Count : 2

This will make it immediately prioritize those so you'll progress.

Another very useful one is
Type: Researched ID: A.R.P.A. Type: A.R.P.A. ID: Supercollider Count: 2
Which will make it immediately try to build 2 supercolliders after unlocking arpa which is another progression breakpoint. Although this is less important until much later when you'll be skipping through progression very fast.

Waiting on the last 3500 MW to finish up my first 4* technophobe. I already have like 60 thermal collectors, so I guess it's just a slow grind of asteroid redirects/knowledge/quantum/swarm satellites/additional thermal collectors to the finish line.

I've only ascended in one universe so far. As far as I can tell from reading, I just need to bang out a quick 0* ascension in each universe to unlock the harmony crystal cost creep discount, then I'm good to go for my 4* technophobe. Is that correct, or will 0* only give 1/5th of the harmony crystal bonus?

I *believe* it should be the full harmony crystal discount if done at 0* but I've never actually tested. Would be consistent with other similarly worded perks.

After your first technophobe subsequent ones become much easier as the thermal collector bonus adds up fast. IIRC I made it all the way through a few floors of hell before finally ticking up enough power the first time.

I did a 3* -> 4* technophobe. 3* took maybe 2 days. 4* took significantly longer (I think 5 days?). I think I need to tinker with the script's job allocation settings or get better about manually managing jobs, because it once I enter intergalactic and citizen pressure ramps up, I have no quarry workers and minimal priests allocated so production takes a big hit and it starts taking an eternity to build additional ziggurats or slave pens.

I woke up this morning with 3 minutes left on the last thermal collector I needed to ascend, so now the universe-hopping technophobe phase begins.

I am using Firefox. Has Firefox also started throttling the performance of non-active windows? (not tabs, separate windows)

Evolve: I've been very busy the last week, so I let my last reset go for a while, and I finished the Dyson Net, the Stellar Engine, and the Stargate. Never been anywhere close to this deep in a run before. I had been planning on just Bioseeding when I had time, but how far am I from whatever the next tier of reset is? I'll probably just bop out in the morning if it's still pretty far out.

Build some mass ejectors, eject as much infernite and elerium as you can, and save up 10 soul gems. You're very close to being able to do a black hole reset.

Not close. You need about 20M knowledge for the next reset & that will be a while yet for you.

If you've built the stellar engine, you're basically there. Just have to eject a ton of elerium/infernite into the black hole until you get the research prompt. And save your soul gems.

I'm coming to the end of my 4* Joyless/Steelen run, planning to go for a 4 * black hole so I never have to go back to standard but I'll only have 30% mastery and have only spent phage on governors, would I be better off grinding out some bioseeds to get genes and some more CRISPR upgrades before going for it?

There's a bunch of stuff I've been reading here that sounds really interesting and compelling but even after backtracking through the thread a ways, sometimes I'm still not able to tell which game is being discussed.

I always liked the habit of including the name of the game at the start of the post, preferably bolded, to make it easier to track discussions and discover new games. As long as a bunch of people are doing it, people tend to follow suit and it just makes the conversations and discoverability easier.

Feel free to ignore this if it's too much trouble.
