Is there still a goon Idleon guild, and are the benefits of being in a guild worth it?
I'm not sure but I would also be interested in joining/forming one. The benefits are pretty substantial for a high-leveled guild, with things like extra carrying capacity being particularly helpful in the early game for getting past various gear tiers/crafting gates.

There is one, it used to be in the top 5 guilds and then I burned out on the game hard-core and nobody could/wanted to actually take over

I'm on a new phone now so I'd have to look into restoring my account, but if someone wanted to pick up the reigns I could probably spend some time getting that done

Guild name is pizza is free, for the record

The benefits to being in a high ranked guild are ridiculous, so yes it's definitely worth it

Apparently, the cost for buying multiple upgrades at once isn't cumulative? Like if the 25th level costs 80k grass and you're on level 20, you can either save up 80k and get to level 25 immediately or you can pay 20k for level 21, 30k for level 22, etc. in single steps.
That also means the "buy 1" button is just there to troll you and "buy max" means "buy the highest level you can go to at once"

Do NOT click on the white ??? challenges, they'll reset your crystal upgrades and perks. That just lost me a good several hours.

eta: lol it reset all the other challenges too, basically it full reset me except I kept the automation and platinum purchases. Yeah nevermind this.

I must be missing an upgrade right at the start, I need level 30 to get prestige and at level 21 I need 250k XP with 180 XP per cut
I'd buy more XP upgrades but I only make 1280 grass a cut with 1 grass growing a second
Fake edit: Oh my loving god I didn't notice that one screen down is another set of upgrades, I thought it just disables the main screen and shows you the regular grass upgrades

Really kind of hiding that there are other pages by putting other tabs on the bottom of the page and not labeling them.

This is maybe the absolute worst UI I've ever seen in an idle game. It makes old flash games like Anti-idle seem well laid out in comparison.

It feels like it's been designed for a mobile device and you should be able to swipe to the different screens. But yeah, it's really bad with the layout. I'm not sure I'd bother to consider which is the worst ever, but it's very much in that group.

I've got all the screens unlocked on that one and let me tell you, if you're not enjoying the gameplay where you're at now, just stop, it's not gonna get deeper

Just new resources and new boosts to old resources

Eventually you unlock the ability to get 'anti-grass' which works the same way but it's just a matter of flipping back and forth between production modes for resets, it doesn't even unlock new Challenges

I kinda like the game, but it's an inch deep at most IMHO

It worked, you're set, have fun

I cleaned house and cut us from like 125 members to 19 so go wild, spend whatever you want on whatever, we're pretty maxed out already

I'm increasingly getting the itch back so I'll check in, if you or anyone getting into it for the first time have questions let me know

Edit: didn't read usernames, so I guess grombor is also in charge now, if torhorse shows up they can be co-leader, plus whoever else wants to be one

I didn't get it so I sent a join request. I hope that's enough.

e: Got in, thanks. Also apparently there's an event that crosses over with the Steam version of Idle Skilling now but you're basically starting a fresh save if you played on a previous mobile device, which blows. Also the pachinko arcade isn't working on Steam for some reason?

This is actually the game that the Idleon dev made before Idleon. It's been on mobile for a while but it's new to Steam. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I think he's got a neat style and the mechanics were engaging. Probably why I was so disappointed by Idleon tbh.

I was cut too, even though I've been active in the game all the way until now. Sent a request so re-add me.

I was WayJose before, but it might be requested under my JiminyKrik character, not sure what it'll show as.

Idle Research:

Man this is so fun this is like the my early NGU days. Lots of paradigm shifts and each layer accelerates the previous layer. The numbers are tweaked such that usually when I go to bed, when I wake up I have a big slingshot forward. Things are going great and fast and I just unlocked tubes.

Figured it was going so fast compared to NGU because no adventure mode, but adventure mode was hidden in the tubes layer haha

I've got idle Skilling running on steam in the background for the crossover rewards. It's neat and I definitely see the influences between the two games. Skilling is a lot closer to "traditional" idle games, but I'm enjoying both.

Set you up with privs, sorry to anyone who was active and got purged when I went through the roster, there's very little information on the admin side about activity so I just picked an arbitrary GP contribution point and figured anyone below that wasn't really playing anymore

Reapply though and you're right back in, I found out another character slot got unlocked so that hooked me in, I'll be playing for a bit

I created a character but had to log off pretty quick at the newbie entrance…is there any certain way to join Goons in this game? I don’t quite understand the different, idk-server names?

I would rather not have a lot of hours sunk and having to join a different server with y’all, but am not sure if that’s how this game works. My name in game is Derek Smart!

You can switch between servers at will, and guild membership isn’t dependent on what server you are on.

I know steam/android are cloud-save compatible and I'm 90% sure iOS is as well, so you may not need to xplay
