A quick hack: If you have a good cooling system that you can't load even if filling all the space with quad cells of a given tier, select one (single) cell of the next tier and place it between quad cells of current tier. It will produce 17x power but 289x heat (this repays tons, but has a potential to force immediate meltdown).
@no1crc You take a ship that's capable of controlling drones, buy some drones then launch them from the right lower panel while in the open. Open left lower panel once you do, and watch their power level, click on a drone to dock it, or dock all. @cpgrazor either install targetting systems or reduce/remove engine module. Anyway mining asteroids would use a lot of safelox.
@Morannon It's such common knowledge that people have to find out the harder way :D ALL games on this site have saves dependent on cookies (Flash save data, Unity save data), although some games have cloud-based save, they are really rare. So expect yourself losing ALL your saves if you clear cookies, and learn how to do that properly by reading the F'n CCleaner manual.
@Schlonz99 It is possible, and it's one of the reasons I'm refraining from paying for that pouch - I want CHALLENGE. IMO dev overdid with restrictions, I'd let them be if they would only block modes (traits, difficulty, endurance), but skills - no, this is a challenge and I'm in.
I wonder what universe can a person win if starting from scratch, in percent. I've launched last time a 400% and won pretty easily, although I've got a good drop from some of the early pirates, a dual laser in zone #0 rips apart many foes, and a cruiser 4/4/1 with ~300hp native at #2 was a great addition.
... that feeling when you ascend, an less than after an hour you've already surpassed your previous result due to the sheer amount of mutagen harvested.
@xnihil0 If you have bats+swarm mutated, don't ascend until your warps will no longer yield upgrades, and then 1 week through. If not, get 2B or alike level, ascend, respec free, and once you'll have 5th nexus, specialize in bats+swarmwarp+lepidoptera, and rock. (You can mutate lepidoptera as soon as you get some of these, spend 2M mutagen and forget about this mutation.)
Whoever lost their savefile, check if you're able to import from online save. If not, fix your private browsing and data cleanup software and don't complain anymore.
Do people ever hit meat wall when producing more meat units past queen? I understand that hitting a meat wall with drones is doable early, as you only have so much meat before they make more, and building queens while there's much larva and you've just made 100% drones is also a potential to hit meat wall, but once past there?
@polyglot Use the "=" syntax, say if you want a 1M queens and your upgrades are x16 twins, you type "=1M" or "=1000000" and have a button to spawn that million while counting twins, you'll spend only 62500 larvae to make that million.
@kioneslayer Apparently the criteria is have enough meat to get that upgrade. Expect one upgrade per three orders of magnitude of accumulated meat (aka 3 hatcheries) past octillion.
@V3XT Empowers seem to be the upgrades that have the most value of next upgrade vs previous, so these pretty much stand out of other "normal" row of upgrades. Also you have apparently replied to a newcomer who is still running his first day in the game, and speak about billion years - this can be seriously disheartening.
Upgrades are surely misleading. Upgrading a pick for adamantium does about 10% actual increase, and the coin value upgrade only does +1 and not x2, so stacking that is plain pointless. -1 point for that, as I've just caught you by your hand on that.
After many tries I have managed to reach third isle with mage on hardcore+supermob+impossible, of course to get kicked by a rhino, for some reason that mob decided to breathe at me right after being repelled by ice nova, sure enough mana cell plus HP pool wasn't enough. Grrr. Still, winning 5 islands as hardcore+supermob+impossible seems to be doable.
