I'm in my 4th reincarnation and trying the desert lodge. I bricked on the boss and won't be able to afford the new spellbooks without a ton of grinding so I'm trying to decide if I should just cut bait and come back later. Currently trying to farm seeds and try to find a golden slime. Figure I'll try the boss again once I cap seeds on my main guy and the new allies.

USI: I'm guessing that I want to use this advanced synth core for dedicated synth-leveling-centric runs, and the computing one for normal runs?

You want to start with the computer and get that score up then do a retrofit over to the synth for the rest of the run.

Okay, good to know. In terms of actually getting to retrofits, is there anything I can do to optimize my base, or is it just a hurry up and wait scenario? 6e8 seems forever away, to say nothing of 2e9. e: a picture

You'll unlock some base production bonuses in research, warp, and synth. Alongside a shard eventually. Other than that, yeah, you're just waiting. Just keep upgrading production.

Sounds good. Finish off the blue flex shard, and then time to prestige with this synth core and see what I can crank.

I used https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2451142754 to get through my first run. It gets decidedly more complex from there, but it's a good baseline and the other systems are introduced as you go through subsequent runs. The biggest thing IMO is getting Sloth unlocked for your second run and getting comfortable with how it works, then just figuring out the way you want to get Sin as you work on getting the completion bonuses for each ending.

I greed is much more important than sloth for a second run IMO. I actually only got greed and kept a sin for the boost effect. Greed is a whole nother multiplier for DR/Reanimate math and only requires the excess research you generate and dont need anymore. e: also the first unlock gives +% inspiriation which is great.

Sloth makes your dungeon clear speed skyrocket when you’re farming, since it has a significantly shorter refresh time than non-Sloth, and the most tedious parts of the second run (crafting quests) can be automated. Toss in auto Donate Gold and you can cruise through pretty quick. Greed is good, it’s nice, but it isn’t a game changer in terms of how the game plays and only really starts to shine when you have more of the examine options open in later reincarnations.

Synth Purity challenge is pure chaos and basically requires having the smartcraft AI upgrades. But holy moly the synth bonuses from completing it. If you were already at 40 pre-.30 pump those challenges as their buffs are nuts and you can easily do most of the tiers of each. Rynoto fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Feb 28, 2023 |

Also read the challenges closely, i was suffering in the first one until I realized what I was doing wrong. The only damage bonuses you can get in the compute challenge comes from upgrading weapons, so bring weapons that are cheaper to upgrade. I started out using all kinetics and it was rough, now I"m just using all standard lasers 2.0 and it's easier. Each big passive you earn on the core is multiplied by 10. E: 1.0 works even better, getting access to all the core upgrades is worth more than the higher base damage of 2.0, and I just used all standard lasers (and one beam) set to their 'boost all laser damage' set up, so that they ended up boosting themselves more than if I just didn't use it. I brought the beam to handle shield regen just in case but with all the other lasers boosting it, it's actually doing massive damage. Three or four orders of magnitude more than all the lasers boosting it, so it kills everything in one tick. EE: I was able to beat up to challenge 8/9 with this strat, I think in order to beat the ninth you're going to need the 2.0 modules as I was dying in one hit from the boss.

Wow, you can almost see now much new sections of your base cost now! At least mousing over them shows you how long until you can afford them. And good thing I just broke into sector 35 before the update, I got my rear end kicked out of there right quick but not before I snagged some orange Battle Shards

just wanna say that these are pretty cool challenges that I actually have to think about even if I'm quite far beyond the power curve where I would unlock them. Overhwelming power won't beat them as well as trying to figure out how to maximize my effectiveness within their rules. Good challenges.

Yeah, I'm kinda at the target range for the first few and these are really making me think and adapt to each one. I like it! Also they did the thing that every loving idler with challenges should do and give you a "hey you beat this, but do you want to keep going on the next completion?" without having to loving reset.

Beasteh posted:I'm hooked on Idle Wizard way harder than I thought I would be even if it looks like total rear end, the classes and challenges are engaging and progression always feels meaningful I liked it at first but it's similar to realm grinder in that past a certain point you have to follow a guide because you need to use a certain class with specific gear at specific levels and run involved, highly interactive builds, otherwise you simply plateau forever. I haven't gone back for a few years but I was pretty deep into it when I quit. It was semi-tolerable using a speed hack to make certain portions of the game run at like 1000x speed.

I was at sector 27 or 28 when I put USI down, but picked it up again with the new update. Unlocked challenges, and did a bunch of them. Thought I did pretty good, although I thought some of them, especially Power Hungry, were tuned a little weird. Got two clears in Base Carry, but barely squeaked through the first clear of Power Hungry. But whatever, I got some major upgrades and life is good. Then I remembered the V Device exists and I probably could have gotten another completion of each challenge done if I hadn't been using a research/general purpose setup. Whoops. As for affording V2.0 modules and blue synth? I felt the blue synth wasn't very expensive when I unlocked it, although I only get halfway through my V2.0 modules at the moment. I will usually swap things like Reactor and V Device around to grab some salvage bonuses if I can get a few upgrades unlocked with them.

DACK FAYDEN posted:patience patience patience mostly, it snowballs just like the previous synths - although that's about the point I started doing long runs to really maximize the synth module I'm 8/9, 2/4, 3/4, 4/6. I was stalling out 2 zones short of getting 3/4 in synth and didn't feel like letting it spend hours building up, but maybe you had a better method than me? I got 8/9 on the first challenge by going 5 basic laser, 1 beam, 1 bulk generator, and 2 deflector shields (all 1.0). The basic lasers were all set to max support while the beam was set to max damage and did over a thousand times as much damage as the lasers. This was enough damage to instantly kill all the chaff up to whatever zone needed for 8/9. The last little stumbling block was the last boss of the challenge who I would kill in like 4 seconds, but would kill me in one shot, which they fired in 2 seconds or w/e. So the 2 deflector shields were only there to protect me from the boss for a couple hits which gave me just enough time to kill it.
