I threw together a fishing script that you can paste into your browser console. Only works with mealworms for now. The autoFish function takes minIntervalMs and maxIntervalMs parameters which determine how long after a fish is caught before it will start fishing again. I suggest setting these parameters to a lower value than what I have in the script below.

JavaScript code:
function getRandomInt(min, max) {
  min = Math.ceil(min);
  max = Math.floor(max);
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min); 
}

function getBait(){
	let el = document.getElementById("baitarea");
	let baitText = el.querySelector("strong").innerText;
	return Number.parseInt(baitText);
}

function autoFish(minIntervalMs, maxIntervalMs){
	let el = document.getElementById("fishinwater");
	let btn = el.querySelector("div.fishcell img[style*='inline']")
	let delay = 100
	if (btn != null && getBait() > 0){
		btn.click();
		delay = getRandomInt(minIntervalMs, maxIntervalMs);
	}
	setTimeout(autoFish, delay, minIntervalMs, maxIntervalMs);
}

autoFish(5000, 6000);
Fishing is actually pretty much entirely client-side, so you could just call the API and tell it you caught a fish, but there are other network calls associated with fishing so it seemed less risky to just do the dumb thing and simulate a click in javascript :v:

I definitely agree. More mileage out of the cider but way more work to manage.

Just drink all your OJ all the time and you won’t care. Theoretically it’s less efficient until your max stam is high enough but in practice you can’t use all your stam regeneration (unless you never sleep?) so I think by the time you can afford the cider upgrade you’ll get more from the daily reset stam anyway.

Not entirely sure where to go from here besides just slowly up? Been making Sturdy Swords when I have the mats, and Fancy Pipes otherwise.

Arcturas
Mar 30, 2011

Fancy pipes/sturdy shields are the way until you get access to coal via exploring, at which point you’ll add lanterns. In the mean time work on filling up your orchard and vineyard until you get your inventory cap of each of the four fruit each day. At some point after you get more cash from lanterns, you’ll progress far enough in the quests to access Large Island, at which point you basically switch back to exploring only in the forest and crafting nets/large nets exclusively for cash. Spare cash in this stage can go to continued tree planting, followed by the 100m and 1b critical storehouse/farm row upgrades, and some key pets. After that you’ll get access to Whispering Creek and will stop dumping exploration into forest for a while as you work on trying your damndest to get more raptor eggs. That’s where I’m at-I’m not sure what’s next, but this has been my progression up to 90/99/95/80 or so.

How many Mealworms do you get an hour? The gold fish for Pirate Cove really shouldn’t take all that long with a healthy supply of Mealworms.

It’s more that I am developing carpal tunnel (really) and can’t do the manual fishing for a long time straight so I typically just don’t. I might try out that script but never done anything like that and really don’t want my account banned :(

This weekend has been great for knocking out a bunch of $1B necessities. Already had the storehouse, but I got the farm row, topped off orchard/sawmill/hayfield/quarry, and got several pets to 6 including getting and leveling the green dragon when I popped 85 explore.

But I still don't have Pirate Cove though...

Gold fliers are for some weird reason much less common than other gold fish; that rate is about right for fliers.

I like the onion but I only bought it after I’d got the storehouse and farm 10b rows and spent billions more on other stuff. Then I had silver building up and thought why not complete the pet stop.

I think the megaseeds are a value add that may make it a little more desirable. For this event I’ve been able to grow 40 megabeet seeds per grape juice for the last two days. I’ve also grown/growing megasunflower seeds over night (14 hours). It’s pretty good silver.

Question for you folks - should I go hog wild with exploring and crafting before the current event ends? I have a lot of apple ciders and orange juices I could use to craft a pile of crossbows and fishing nets.

Since the Macaw was added, they aren't even very useful for that. Crab Claw covers Sea Dragon/Frog/Gecko very well. They are basically Borgen (Shop or Wheel) or vaults these days.

If it's just for money, probably. The 20% bonus on top of other perks is pretty good. The challenge as always is the imbalance in resources. You'll always be voiding a lot of wood/oak because of twine, mushrooms, and steel/wire being slower to acquire.

If you still need exploring experience, the 20% can be nice but the hills is still so loving big unless you want to dump massive amounts of OJs.
