While we're talking Evolve, is there a rule of thumb for rebirthing? I unlocked it for the first time, but I've been spending one last stretch trying to bump Knowledge up high enough to grab Shotgun Sequencing in case it gives me another plasmid. I suppose I'm spending too long grinding, but if I'd restarted at 130pop I'd be going out with 1 plasmid instead of like 5.

Rynoto posted:Spent knowledge (on research) only has a minor effect on plasmid gain compared to population and barracks. For your first MAD reset you want to use it as soon as you'll get ~100 plasmids and ~150 afterwards. Holy cow, 100??? Hmkay, I'm glad I didn't pre-emptively hit it then... I didn't even know that population went into it. Thanks for clarifying ^^

Chakan posted:It's ((pop + soldiers) / 3) + Knowledge Bonus. Knowledge bonus is just "1 plasmid for first 100K knowledge spent, * 1.1 for each additional plasmid." The space reset has a multiplier of 1.015 instead, and gives another prestige currency, phage. Wait, is there a way to view how many plasmids I get upon rebirth? I'd been assuming that the amount under my Plasmid resource (which is currently 5) was it, but I have well over 300 dudes by this point so I'm theoretically already good to restart.

Is there a reset/prestige mechanic? I feel like I bungled bigtime by picking the herbalist job right at the getgo, it appears to do nothing all that useful.

Where the Witchcraft class purchase says "Locks: [macbeth quote]", is that just a flavorful way of going "You can only pick one T1 class"?

Wait, so looking at the chart elementalist seems like the obvious T1 choice because it's the only one that unlocks things you can't get otherwise, but I guess that's not worth it compared to the magician/witch's houses and stuff?

Is there anything interesting in Lore after 30? I have like 9 extra levels I could train in, but I don't wanna waste hours that could go into elemental stuff if it's all empty.

Huh, refreshing did something buggy to my savegame and re-enabled the option to buy lower-tier classes, so now I have almost all the t2 and t3 classes. The upside is that I have a truly grotesque amount of skills and options, but it somehow skunked my stamina regen so I went from +1.something/s to -0.1/s and nothing seems to change it.

Is there a list of skill caps anywhere? I'm getting to the end-of-t4 annoying phase where most skills are somewhere around 10-20, and training them past that will either take hours of holding enter or days of idling one specific thing, so it'd be nice to know what if anything (besides lore 30) is worth taking over 20.

What's the skill combination that gives you ghost scribes and compilers? Is it spirit lore + summoning + air lore? Besides stuff that's gonna get ironed out with iteration (combat, minions being as far as I can tell prohibitively clunky to use), I think my only real complaint is that a few of the skill things like whisper and ghost writing is so absurdly useful as to be effectively mandatory while simultaneously being easy to completely miss.

So holy poo poo, I somehow triggered a bug that lets me buy unlimited unholy candles and now every dungeon is just a matter of mapping the highest-damage shadow spell I have to like 5 hotkeys and hammering them.

ashnjack posted:Crap. That’s a bug? I now have like 800 shadow and I regen like 20 a second. I burned like 50,000 gold on it so I thought it was just an endgame thing I think so, because a few updates ago it stopped letting me buy new candles. I think fireplaces are still unlimited though, so you could always just grind your fire up high enough that no amount of spamming pyromancy will overcome your regen rate. Meanwhile I finished everything except for the catacrypts, which I gave up on when he pushed a new update that made you unable to eat children and rest while running a dungeon. I'll be really interested to see what he comes up with after thoroughly planning out and re-implementing this thing.

Could I get some advice on spending PP? I have a decent haul after not looking at this for almost a year, the top row's maxed out (except for the rich jerks thing), and I bought all of the inventory/accessory spaces and one of the gold digger slots. Everything else kinda blurs together though, so I'm not sure where my points will have the most impact.

Yoinked both! I still have like 1,000 PP sitting around so I'm probably going to bank it until I see something obviously useful, but holy crap coming back to this game after a while is overwhelming. Speaking of which, is there a guide anywhere for exp distribution? I have a truly disgusting amount saved up, and I completely forget what the ratios are for spending it. (I'm at level 121 and idling to build the mega lands set if that's useful, but I assume exp is always spent in a mostly same-ish direction.)

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:how much is a disgusting amount, if you have like 1000 pp and are in the mega lands, you probably could get a bunch of the adventure QOL stuff + extra beard slot and then start sinking it into energy/magic Well, disgusting for the returns my brain was calibrated for pre-break. I'm sitting on a little over 1.4 million exp, and here are my guy's stats:  (Note that wandoos/ngu/augments/etc have been running for nearly a year, so the current totals are unrealistically high relative to what I usually get during a new rebirth.) And yeah, I yoinked all of the adventure specials except for the Another Another Daycare Slot, and I'm waiting to buy new Yggdrasil seeds until my energy and magic are high enough to automate them.

Buying adventuring stats with exp is schmuck bait, right? I'm better off doing the 1:40k:1 ratio to goose up my energy/magic until I'm literally swimming in unnecessary points?

Can I safely trash the ring of apathy once it hits 100? I'm really unclear whether autokill requires it in my inventory, or just maxxed out in the item list.

Pigbuster posted:Autokill only needs it to be maxed out, it's okay to trash once it's 100 and you have enough stats to casually autokill. Awesome, thanks! And yeah, I'm at the point where I have enough inventory space that I probably shouldn't sweat the odd slot or two, but my inner OCD guy constantly campaigns for a 100% clean inventory ready to be filled with goofy nonsense.

With Yggdrasil is it more optimal to pour all of my seeds into maxing Pomegranate first, or will the sharply climbing costs mean that I get more seeds over time by keeping every fruit roughly at seed cost parity?

Xtanstic posted:Max Fruit of Gold first because the cost is cheap, then max Pom. That's the optimal route. I will admit to putting a couple of levels here and there just because it's nice to collect some fruits after waking up or coming home from work. Cool, thanks... I assume the same thing applies once I have enough revenue to afford Watermelon?
