I'd take a PHR that was 1/4 this beneficial, I'm stuck with 250 antlers and 150 salt for some minnows and a few axes.

I'm waiting until I get exploring to 99 before I mess with these.

Been using all my exploration on Forest for regular nets and going in hard on Large Island.

I’m in a similar boat but just going ham on sturdy bows. Farming mushroom nonstop for the paste, pumped up the steelworks.

I also got 1 bill far before I could craft large nets. I wasn’t as fussed about leveling exploration in mount banon and ember whatchacallit, just got antlers from forest and was ok voiding things. That slows down crafting a fair bit while getting you more silver.

Finished unlocking tower yesterday and got to level 17, enough AK to get to 36 but no silver. Just feeling a lot of "now what" right now, especially torn between saving up for more 10B purchases vs. tower levels (have the storehouse, nothing else).

Check your Mushrooms, my counter is at 1.3m.

Under ideal conditions (all negotiator perks including the tower one acquired, beet and sunflower at least mastered), a level 6 onion takes just under 100 days to pay for itself.

yeah maybe pass on that one for now, with the buffs giving em mega seeds it’s marginally worth it silver-wise but you’ll probably get more benefit from growing more mushrooms.

It also increases your beet/sunflower rate, which bumps your mastery up faster, and which lets you deal with lategame quests that ask for a bunch of either more easily.

That said, once you’re at that point it’s not like it’ll take you very long to get another 10 bil either way.

What is the pro strategy around the wishing well? I tossed stuff in using buddy.farm to get the low numbered runestones and make the lava sphere, the high numbered ones don't appear to have wishing well stuff.

Should I bother getting the feed and flour mill or focus on maxing out fruit/animal production first? I hopped on the owl train and it's bringing me honey which I'm putting in my storehouse. My next row of crops is 100m so that's a ways off. 64/52/64/63. I'm throwing nets to grind fishing higher, I just can't do much manual fishing because I want to scream.

Wishing well is bacon or…whatever the decent alternative is that I was throwing before I had pigs online, until you have the gold feathers and leaves to unlock WC (or the level 6 frog). Then swap to crab claws to look for geckoes until you have enough for tower and possibly Strange Consequences. Then I think you swap to something that can get you herbs or seaweed or spiked shells, but I haven’t gotten that far so don’t know.

E: feed and flour mill are low priority. They are needed for a few quests that you need bacon and flour for. They don’t generate all that much money, though.

early on it’s kinda aimless and situational depending on your Runestone or other quest needs for the day. Later on once you get the pig farm going you’ll be tossing a lot of bacon in the well for gold leafs and feathers. Beyond that you’ll want to start chucking crab claws in the well from your macaw to get 200-something orange geckos and some sea dragons and frogs, and salt for spiked shells.

Once you get the tower unlocked there’s not much else that’s pressing other than some late quests that ask for thousands of gold feathers and leafs, or tossing in Runestones to hopefully balance out the lopsided production of your pets.

Magicite. Magicite gets you feathers/leaves at 1/4 instead of the 1/3 from bacon.

just got my second billion. first went to storehouse, second went to macaw.

i just got my first billion earlier this morning, but then i GM'd 2 different things and also went on a large net spree

i also have 2 raptors at 5 now with another one hitting lvl 5 tomorrow so the large nets should continue. i need to start spending more of my stam on WC instead of forest for the antlers but the LI profit is too nice atm.

Inferno sphere is item of the day in the farmers market, +28%. Probably will just keep waiting for the next event where they are usually an item of the day on top of the event bonus. I’ve bought all my 10bil things I care about and upgraded all pets to 6. I will need plenty of silver for the tower but it’s AK currently holding me back.

Bacon until you can Crab Claw. Claws until you have enough Geckos for tower. Salt for Spiked Shells. Then back to Bacon for leaves and feathers for Giamics.

After that well isn’t super useful because you should have all the pets you need to passively get anything else or tower levels will do it.

I got a new quest chain that requires 4.3k corn and still had a Jubilee quest for 1k corn. Corn jail is eternal.


I think I figured out why this game is so much fun, I do plan my masteries and GMs a bit but it always ends up like this:
1) I want to GM bottle rockets, I need feathers, lets explore Small Spring for feathers!
2) Oh I run out of Coal, lets go to Banon
3) Oh I run I have max inv Carbon, lets craft steel/wire for oak stuff
4) oh I run out of Oak, lets put a couple APs into WC
5) What was I doing? Ah yeah, I need feathers, back to Small Spring

I find myself jumping from zone to zone because something hits max inventory and I need other resources to craft that into useful stuff. This whole cycle is really fun for me, trying to not void anything useful and get some progress on all those masteries and GMs.

At least Craftworks is in beta now, so I do get automatic progress for some things:


Still looking at a week or more to get myself from T74 to 80, the floors after that will take even longer.

Oof, the exploration grind to 99 looks brutal. I'm about halfway there (at 92 exploration), and it looks like it needs...1.8 million stamina to get there, exclusively exploring WC? Or am I misreading the Farm Buddy calculator - that's with all the exploration xp perks and all the free explore chance perks, but not counting the stamina refund from grabbing apples, oranges, and lemons while exploring.

Now I just have to do some rough math on my daily stamina generation from the orchard (about 980 inv. cap) to figure out how long this will actually take.

When I stated the event this month it said I’d need 3300 Arnold Palmers. It took me the whole event with an auto clicker at 18cps plus a couple days after to get from 92 to 99. And I had like almost a million stamina saved up

I got to 91 and I've been banking stamina to get to 1 million for the achievement, then I plan to start dumping my daily apples into Cider.

I partially hope the new zone drops sometime soon and I can dump all that stamina into it. The roadmap says the new zone is live in Alpha.
