...Biodomes might be useful for No-Plasmid Balor Challenge runs?
I found they tend to be a bit strapped for cash even with plasmid, and the biodomes good helped supplying tourist centers to compensate for that.
(Mind, they also helped do the same on other races, but it's most notable on the Balor given everyone else having access to trade money.)

Another that came up was the scenario of simply having a great deal of support, and not enough resources to build things other than biodomes; so they can work as something to use support while saving up for more useful structures.
(At which point, assuming yet more support isn't obtained, the biodomes can be unplugged for other more useful buildings.)

By rewards, do you mean equipment? Because if not, the xp/gold/etc. are the same between versions unless you have the wish that scales rewards, which is relatively new.

If you mean equipment though, then :rip:

Ah, i thought xp/pp scaled with the tier of the titan.

Im fine with missing out on the equipment, glancing at their stats in the wiki it doesn't look like ill be replacing anything i currently wear for them.

Plasmid bonuses soft cap at 250 + Phage, then hit a near full stop at 500 + Phage so you should never go under those. You'll want to do your first space finish after unlocking a few creep reductions, storage bonuses, and second tier religion.

NGU: I've been out of the loop but I saw that it is now fully implemented at Kartridge, which is looking much nicer as well, so I'm giving it a spin. I suppose that it'll run at 100% efficiency unless I have the window minimized but, aside from that, is there anything I should be wary of?

Adding features slows down the speed of programming due to unstructured code. Code structuring mitigates that penalty, similar to how bug elimination mitigates the quality penalty.

no cloud saves on Kart, but then again the local/backup saves are all saved to your pc and you can copy them/back them up personally wherever.

And to add to what Kyrosiris said already, that slowdown is happening with features whether or not you have structuring unlocked. It's better to deal with it than to leave it alone.

Actually because it's not in a browser and the reason for the slowdown is browsers. You can minimize the full application with zero slowdowns. Enjoy.

Yeah you want to be dumping all your money into buying titanium, and really all the resources that unlock after it.

The OP could probably use an update, there's been a lot of changes in idle games in the last 3 years.
The games on there have outdated screenshots (realm grinder old UI)
NGU is missing and is clearly a thread favorite

SwarmSim classic should probably be added to historical or some other category, but maybe a list of story games like crank as well, because crank is a good few days.

Evolve has the potential to be OP worthy but it's going to need more updates and prove it's going to stick around because it's pretty light on content right now.
