Any tips for spending Synth Points? I'm thinking of skipping pretty much the entire second row of upgrades (I already bought the synth efficiency one) and saving up for either the third synthing slot or the Base upgrade on the third row.

There's a 0.20.9 update for USI that hit only 30 minutes ago or so and the core upgrades appear to be extremely broken for me; values show as "1.#|e0" and I can hit upgrade all to upgrade everything by like 1000 levels as many times as I want. Juuuust FYI Edit: Yeah this is very broken!

suspect some logical check along the lines of "if can't afford upgrade, tell player to go spin" has been broken lol

Does go to show what little effect the Weapon/Shield cores have after reaching the last upgrade, though, since even with 10s of thousands of levels they don't really go up in value all that much. e: dev confirmed its an artifact of a bug they were trying to fix that they forgot was in there when they pushed the emergency update for a separate bug.

New update is out to fix it, I didn't cheat too much but did use it to bump up to unlock the kinetic cannon

Tier 5 synth looks like a slog. It's like 4 minutes to make an alloy with a speed of 2.3e5

Just remember these are multiplicative, not additive. It's not a flat 10% but another 10% multiplied to what you had in earlier tiers.

I never really got into evolve because of all the moving parts but that script that fully automates it makes it a perfect partner game to USI bouncing between windows My cactus guys blew up and are now sentient blobs of mould

USI pro tip: you get a fifth shard slot at 32, plus a shard drops that goes in there and gives +base 2 production, so even if you can't get to 33 to prestige for the new utility core it's worth pushing

I just unlocked the 3rd utility slot. How far do you guys push computing before switching over typically?

Sheesh nearly freaked out thinking I lost my USI save. Open my browser tab as usual and it was a new game. My last manual save was from 9PM last night so I would have lost a few extra hours of progress. Tried cloud save restore but forgot password until I realized my username is case sensitive. When I loaded my cloud save, nothing was moving (same bug I had when trying to move over to the downloaded version). Ultimately restored it by exporting my bugged frozen cloud save and then importing it. Seems fine now.

It keeps a backup of every time before you prestige and all your manual saves %appdata%\Godot\app_userdata\SpaceIdle you can paste that with the %appdata% it will turn into C:\blah blah\username\blah automatically even if you changed it from default.

I did two black hole resets before I turned on full automation in Evolve, and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I'm doing 4 star MADs faster than I was doing 0 star MADs without building automation.

I'm doing 4 star MADs faster than I was doing 0 star MADs without building automation. I tried to install that mod right after my first bioseed reset recently, and was massively confused. You probably need to play the game that much before understanding the mod. Actually, I found the documentation bad enough that I decided that I would probably stop playing instead of modding once normal evolve annoys me enough.

God, the boosts from Research Station are awfully dramatic, huh? My Focus Research bonus jumped from x9 to x31, alongside a general x2 boost to research, and I've only got 22 levels in it!

question for the evolve guys: I now have a few MADs under my belt and ~400 plasmids, what's the next step? I read that I want to '4* black hole out of standard forever' but I have no idea what that even entails. Am I supposed to be in permanent challenge mode for extra bonuses, and if so how many/which ones should I have active?

Am I supposed to be in permanent challenge mode for extra bonuses, and if so how many/which ones should I have active? If you've only done MADs then you still need to do your first Bioseeds - 3-to-4 is fine to gather Phage and spend the extra plasmids over softcap (250+Phage) on crispr unlocks. If you're set on doing anything other than 0* Black Hole to leave then you'll want the craftsmen and phage storage upgrades, at least. 4* Black Hole to leave is really up to personal preference on your patience and whether you want to never return to Standard. I personally skipped out and just 3*'d it for a decent perk bonus and came back during the cycle of vising every universe for their specific achievements to finish 4*. But if you do decide to do 4* Blackhole then 4* means all 4 Challenge Genes: No Starting Plasmids - Obvious No Free Trade - No manual trades, trade routes only No Manual Crafting - Craftsmen only for crafted items Junk Gene - Weaker crispr creep bonus and a random negative trait 3* is doing them all except No Starting Plasmids. These are seperate from the Challenge Modes which are specific scenarios that change the game in sometimes huge ways. Rynoto fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Feb 10, 2023 |

Okay thanks for the advice. I'm using the automation scripts so patience isn't really an issue, I just let it run in the background

I use: Blue = Battle Pink = Salvage Orange = Compute Red = Synth Minor adjustments as I bail out of computing or hit my salvage limit but I pretty much always use battle since the 16x damage and shield boost is worth like 3 or 4 sectors

Oh Incidentally, because this happened to me, Hull Damage increases do not increase damage against armor. I assumed that since the tool tip still describes armor as "hull" it would work, but uh, it doesn't. Wasted so much time sticking the damage up shard in the yellow slot when it was effectively doing nothing.

Sivart13 posted:turns out my brain doesn't work good and despite reading the tooltips a hundred times it didn't occur to me that the battle shard can go in the blue slot, I'd been swapping it and out of the Red slot with Synth You need purple or better to use blue with it, the blue battle shard drops before blue slot unlocks. You likely missed the new unlock and just kept doing what you were doing when you upgraded.

It's a bit odd in organizing the list but your base experience is "Exp Sum", which is then multiplied with the other numbers one after the other to reach 33.8 million.

You're currently at 12 million out of 65.5, so prestigeing won't get you to another rank

Right but, like, how does the 33.8M relate to the 12M? e: I think I get it. The bigger number is my overall total throughout this run. So the 12M is that total with all the previous rank-up costs subtracted. Thanks for the help.

I'm hitting a new wall in USI, I cannot get enough scrap like I'm stuck around sector 22 with tier 2 weapons now but they take way more scrap then I can get even with all the modules/v devices/reactor boosts I can stack.

do you have the auto pickup scrap module? scrap pickups have a lot more scrap than ships, I think

Guess I should use that more, I need to save up for more module slots.

Sacred Ritual is somewhat like a battery that fills with experience and varius bonuses, and when is full, can be discharged to generate inspiration points and habits points. The rank of SR also govern when some stuff unlock, but that is minor. You want to press the button as soon is available to click. I don't want to talk much and accidentally make a spoiler.
