Ineptitude posted:Same, the grass/antigrass part of the game just stops working. You gain grass currency but no upgrades are being bought (not PP or crystal ones either) You probably maxed that out. One of the steel upgrades puts unlocks to uncap various old upgrades on the same page as rocket fuel.

It plays out as a bug at least. All the upgrades remain at 0/xxx and progress is nowhere near what it was before it bugged out. (e.g. would get to level 700 or so in seconds before it bugged out, now progress tapers off at 140ish) Ineptitude fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Dec 1, 2022 |

I like Your Chronicle so far. Reminds me of Arcanum: Theory of Magic. It is not really an idle game at the start at least as there is a lot of active actions that needs to be done. Guess maybe that changes later when you have to grind for summons?

You end up with a couple forms of automation in Your Chronicle, iirc you get auto-eat so that you can passively grind stats from the food that drops from enemies, and I think after your first prestige (edit: not the rituals, but like when you actually get an ending and start back from the beginning) you get the ability to actually automate some actions.

Sidenote to save your rubies for party slots. A lot of the first run is checking in hourly to dark ritual, upgrade summons, eat food, and spend destiny to progress the story.

Harvester is great for challenges once you have the "stun with crit" ability from the earlier challenges. At 50% crit rate and multiple attacks per second from skull upgrades, it's very effective. Not sure about reincarnation level unfortunately, but it's worth a shot with Harvester at whichever level you can unlock the challenge.

I was extremely invested in Your Chronicle for a while, getting up to 22 reincarnations, apparently I haven't touched it in the last year though I'm halfway curious what the new path is. I've forgotten basically everything about the game tho one major annoyance I had (along with many minor nitpicks) is how often there would be a task that takes 10 clicks to get through, costing increasing levels of inspo like 2500, then 3000, then 3500 etc. Since inspiration is capped you can't do it all in one go, and you can't queue it to do all the levels automatically. It felt pretty satisfying to get more and more powerful and breeze through those earlier stages but it still takes a very long time to do a reincarnation

In Your Chronicle when you are raising your magic skills and stamina with habits will they still rise offline while you are using the resources in a dungeon? I have been turning the skills off so far before going offline. Wondering because it requires that you have a certain amount of it to start the habit routine. Edit: Tested it and turning skills off is not needed. Hryme fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Dec 3, 2022 |

i like theresmore. it's got weird poo poo to it but the combat and prestige systems are pretty well implemented and the emphasis on lots of segmented buildings with major effects when completed is something i like more than evolve's. there's also a lot of different forms of progression as you approach the endgame, with some portions coming from combat, others coming from diplomacy or buildings, etc. the version number says 0.43, so if you don't like it i would recommend coming back in a few months to see if the dev keeps at it. i think it'll be really good with a few more balance passes and some quality of life fixes

For what it's worth I also find the Theresmore general loop to be more interesting than Evolve, even if Evolve currently has more stuff. It's something to watch, imo.

Guess maybe that changes later when you have to grind for summons? Yeah, it remains fairly active throughout. Generally the best way to make progress through the storyline is by checking in every few minutes or so to spend your destiny and whatever other resources you collected through combat, and many of the game's progression systems are balanced around triggering the Dark Ritual reset mechanic as often as possible, ideally as soon as it's off its hour-long cooldown. There's a lot of content to crunch through and a lot of interlocking systems and menus, but once you reach the first prestige a lot of QOL and automation features unlock in the form of Sloth, such as the ability to auto-assign habits or set up a chain of actions that will run on repeat. For example you can set up a chain of two different boss dungeons, so that /when you kill the first boss you instantly enter the second boss's dungeon and then back again, which saves a lot of time "exiting" the dungeons and is great for farming up quick gold or food. Also, while there are a lot of actions in every "zone" for you to pursue for more destiny, stats and habit efficiency, most of them are optional for the first Chronicle especially once you get to the City, although they may help you advance through the dungeons and guild assignments you'll need to complete to get the next zone quests. Talk to the receptionist!! As far as the ruby store goes, Party Slots are the only thing I'd really consider mandatory. Party templates are really nice too and more shortcuts make the Sloth feature a lot stronger, auto sacred ritual saves a lot of menuing over time too.

Thanks for this. I had been having longer runs because it seemed like I needed familiar buffs to get efficient kills. But I guess it is better to maximise inspiration income. Is the rare monsters worth going for? I maxed out the first fairy but that took a long time. I think I will skip the forest fairy.

I like the idea of games like Evolve or Theresmore but I really dislike having to do things like manage troops and combat. When I played Civ 5 I'd be a huge pacifist and would just be so nice nobody would go to war with me, or I'd make myself super rich and buy their friendship just because I don't like managing combat like that.

Talk about Theresmore led me to Evolve which already had an ongoing save but I must have barely touched it / bounced off it ages ago. I generally like faster idle games, unless the UI/early knobs and levers grab me like Theresmore has.

Is the rare monsters worth going for? I maxed out the first fairy but that took a long time. I think I will skip the forest fairy. Yeah you definitely want to maximize inspiration. This isn't NGU where sometimes you're better off pushing for longer runs to push a new zone or whatever. Some of the features requiring a slightly higher Sacred Ritual may look tempting to you but you're pretty much always better off getting more Inspiration points which you can then turn into stats / habit efficiency which both will help you hit a higher SR rank. Likewise, you're better off losing a high talent multiplier with Dark Ritual and having a slightly lower sacred ritual level the next run to get more inspiration. Speaking of inspiration, the special upgrades in the middle of the Astral World are great but don't neglect the infinite upgrades on the left either. Stats and habit efficiency are both very valuable, so is Auto Level Up+ which increases how many seeds your monsters will use at a time while auto-leveling. Pro tip: you can mass dump inspiration into these upgrades by pressing "A" when hovering over them, the game will treat it as a max click. This works on pretty much every instant action button and is especially useful for actions where you're spending gold or gaining destiny, or even spending gold to gain destiny. Rare mobs in the game are pretty good but IMO not essential and probably not worth pursing outside of an overnight idle or unless you really have nothing better to do. They tend to be good for passive resource generation rather than combat, so for example the flower fairy is great for keeping your wreath supply stocked but you probably won't want one in battle. If you can get just one level of a rare monster's summon and you don't mind waiting until later to max it out, there's a very reliable way to farm up the rest and max your monster at the end of your run, which is also a very good place for seed farming.

My thanks to the thread for pointing out the FE000000 in-game guide, it's a very cool feature. On the other hand, reading over the guide to date makes me feel very, very stupid and is extremely demotivating to continuing play. Ah, yes, this thing that took me a couple of days to work through should have only taken six minutes had I known to swap out one of the studies halfway through, hmm, yes, interesting. Ah, right, I had hit a complete brick wall for multiple days and actually skipped part of the progression because I similarly hadn't tried the correct combination of studies and challenges yet. Hmm. Okay. Also, after opening the guide, respeccing my studies the first time after that anomalously lead to a huge explosion in resources which suddenly allowed me to make several EG and EP purchases after days of exactly 0 progress???? I'm not seeing where unspent theorems are worth more than purchased studies??? In short, I have progressed thanks to the in-game guide, but now I know less about the game than before consulting it E: Upon rereading the segment I'd been consulting I also see that I have significantly fewer theorems than the guide expects me to at this point in progression, despite playing for exponentially longer than the guide up to this point in the progression and somehow having enough resources to continue following its advice so far by dropping a suggested study. I'm growing more confused the longer I try to understand this, and I suspect I should leave it for a day when I've actually managed to sleep the night before.

Meh, for Eternity Challenges just use the guide to figure out what studies to use. gently caress understanding those yourself Respeccing your studies does an eternity reset, maybe you simply gained a lot of EP from that?

I've recently started playing Idlemancery and it has been scratching the similar itch as playing through Alkahistorian or Orb of Creation for the first time. Been playing for roughly a day so I'm not sure how long the game is but I have 6 out of the 10 systems unlocked so far. The start of each prestige's are a bit on the active side but it doesn't take too long to unlock the automation features. I've only just unlocked research but it looks like that will help with some of the early active play of each prestige. The game has a bit of a story with goals attached so you know what you need to do to unlock more actions or upgrades.

Okay, it's obviously not going to be for everyone, and it's extremely weird and abstruse by design, but The Barnacle Goose Experiment whips rear end, actually, and I quite enjoyed it. Just learn from my mistakes: you absolutely do not need to go all-in on economy. There's various ways to get resources that produce resources and ways to power those resources up, but if you auto-clicker through that process you may well end up with mountains of resources producing resources that produce resources in a big tangled mess and the UI makes it extremely difficult to fix that situation if it really gets going. My game was almost unplayable due to lag near the end. Just take it easy, feel free to build up some economy resources as you encounter them for convenience, but you don't need a mountain of things making GBS threads out other things every tick, it's just not that kind of game. The game should be completable in a day or two even with bumbling. It basically consists of the dopamine rush of finding new verb combinations in doodle god, with a hint of the insufferably twee and monkey-cheese navel-gazing writing of xkcd's more artsy-fartsy projects. Essentially the whole point of the game is to piece together what the gently caress you're even doing, and by the end the (admittedly extremely sparse) story that you reveal makes the end goal apparent and reasonable and impactful enough. I will say that I absolutely cannot recommend the game to everyone. It's trying very, very hard to be bizarre, seems to be predicated largely on a piece of ancient debunked science trivia predating the scientific method, and it has an intentionally bare, stark, and occasionally oppressive atmosphere. Its writing isn't too over-the-top, though, what little you get, so I enjoyed the journey. If you wanna just mash some words together doodle-god style and enjoy some excessively post-modernist bullshit with just a couple of soft attempts to pluck a heartstring or two, it's perfectly serviceable and reasonably well-put-together. For all its faults, I liked it. Shady Amish Terror fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Dec 4, 2022 |

Yeah, had figured that out towards the end of my playthrough. The specific approach you name is good advice for skipping a lot of the tedium.
