SynthesisAlpha posted:Orb of Creation update dropped to beta branch today. It's a very different progression now. Still the same core feel up upgrades all day but now each upgrade works towards a level up on that category (plus a global orb category), and when you level that you get a couple points to spend on unlocking researches or upgrading spell glyphs or artifacts. The limited points means it's always a tough choice on what to get, but the next point is on the horizon. ive been messing around with this since yesterday, its good and feels very very different from the last time i played it but is there really still no way to autocast? i get that the game is intended to be relatively active play but spamming the same spells for hours is pretty tiring & tedious

you do end up very gradually building up automatic resource generation but seemingly still not for casting spells themselves. my generation is high enough to rely on buffs but recasting 4 buffs at max charge constantly is annoying

The biggest issue I have with Orb of Creation right now is that you're restricted on how many things can be queued up to build at once. Nothing like needing to build 100 upgrades to get more research points and having to queue them up 7 at a time! No idea how to actually increase my queue either.

through research, i think Parallel Minds on the Innovation tab will allow you to do more than one development at once, and Improved Study will allow you to queue more. developing your Concepts will also mean the developments happen faster (like, instantly) so you can hammer them out in multiclick bursts

I think a few different research options add to max developments in queue

This made me check my NGU save. It is now complete. All my NGUs are at hard cap. I have 10 quadrillion EXP to spend, and everything else is capped out. Iron Pill would give me 193m to Adv Stats too. I miss NGU, but there's no way I could start it over again and be happier than I was loading up the save.

aw man i cast Conjure Spring in orb of creation, with a Heavy 3 glyph. so it lasts about four minutes of generation, and then recharges for six minutes but it keeps echo casting so i can't actually change my spell loadout lol

JavaJesus posted:I did the exact same thing, currently working towards my "first" UUG kill. Personally I didn't explicitly miss the boost transformations (though I also recently did the challenges because the boss target doesn't increase, and yeah those transformations are real good), but slowly inching my way back to 1 energy cost for basic training was torture. I think grinding out challenges is making that go quicker for me since you end up rebirthing a lot more often.

Also echo casts don't trigger cooldowns and if you want to speed things up, slot in recharge (and spark generation if you need it to cast recharge).

My evolve ascension run is going much better than I expected it to go for how little mastery I have (48%). It's been less than a week and I'm already building the gravity chamber on Sirius. Granted I edit my save to give me permanent double time but that's the extent of my meddling. It's only a 0 star but I'm more interested in the accomplishment of doing it than the reward. I think I can finish up over the weekend.

Don't use cantrips that much past very early game, basically bumrush to alchemy and stack 5-6 of the spell that boosts transmute/refinement and you will be fine. Almost anything in the game can get generation into the infinite with stacking 5-6 of the same generator boosting spell like that.

(Evolve) I've built the Ascension Machine but now I have to power it! I guess I'll just need to build the 80 thermal collectors so I can turn enough stuff off without losing population.

I scraped together my first Technophobe ascension (4*, no less) two days before Leo ended and it was still terrible. I had somehow managed to forget that the 50% power demand increase would also apply to the Ascension Machine. Ended up staying around on the final upgrade long enough to research and dip into Inferno Power lmao

The first technophobe is always the hardest as the 50% increased thermal power is a lifesaver. Decay and Cataclysm also have some decent power boosters.

The technophobe 4* was such a pain because you get to the ascension machine and you're thinking you've been planning for this, so you'll be better off... but you aren't ready. It's still so bad. I'm 1 million knowledge away from the end of my 4* orbital decay, my supercollider is close to level 110 because almost everything else is basically maxed out.

Orb of Creation: Oh holy gently caress I hate myself. I have been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what I'm missing to get either the Alchemy tome or SOMETHING to let me progress further and unlock more things, and it turns out I had already learned Create Spring god only knows how long ago, I just... never cast it. It's been sitting in my spell list this entire time, just waiting for me to actually cast it so I can make the Alchemy table, and I've been overlooking it this entire time like a dumbfuck.

Yeah one bad thing about Orb of Creation is that most unlocks don't show up until you have some of the resources needed for it, the Alchemy table is kind of an exception because it's an upgrade on a sub menu that's pretty easy to forget about and you see the requirements waaaaay before you can unlock them.

I also applied to GOONS, username is Mowser. Looks pretty full so no worries if there’s no room at the moment. I’ve been leveling stuff mostly with no real goal in mind, but just realized I can buy a house so now I’m working towards all those upgrades.

Got you guys. Things are pretty quiet. The dev rolled back his pet system changes a bit ago to rework it. I'm mostly just staying barely active for when the server resets for full release.

I'm mostly just staying barely active for when the server resets for full release. Yeah, I'm wondering how long it'll be until the reset comes. Because both the pets and the thieving skills were rolled back. It's kind of begging for something else to get added, or at least some small boost to drop rates for dungeon maps to make them more interesting to use.
