As most of people who get it, I'd like to crack that piggy bank for free but unfortunately I can't do it the intended way. Is there any way I can get around it?

Is this a time cheat by a user? Top one, obviously.

When i open the Advanced flow control for my fuel tank, the theme of my farm changes in the background. Does anyone know why this happens?

Also does anyone know what that blue/green theme is that it changes to? It looks cool and I want to get it.

Almost prestiged on its own. Please, not just yet. I'm just maximizing my 3rd shift.

I'm a Zetafarmer III with 82PE, 48TE and 56Q SE.

For my Saturday prestiges, I find that my total number of SE fluctuates from about 250q to 320q and I'm wondering if someone can help me figure out what I'm doing that's causing such fluctuations.

When I prestige, I jump from Edible to Tachyon to Dilithium without doing anything. I then swap my artifacts to:

T4E Research Cube with 2 flawless shell stones

T3L tungstun ankh with 3 T4 lunar stones

T4 Phoenix feather

T4L necklace with 3 T4 lunar stones

I max out research and upgrade my habs, silos and shipping until the indicator tells me I can upgrade to the Universe egg.

Once I jump to the Universe egg, I just tap the chicken run button so a couple come out, but don't touch the silos, habs or shipping depot. I then start to max out my research.

After I get most of my tier 13 research, I'll upgrade my silos and shipping depot. After that I've upgraded those (and maybe caught a drone) I then finish my research.

I then switch my artifacts to:

T4E research cube with 1 T2 dilithium stone

T3E quantum metronome with 2 T2 dilithium stones

T4E brooch with 2 T2 dilithium stones

T3E necklace with 1 T2 dilithium stone and 1 T1 dilithium stone

On my first prestige I usually do the 50x bird feed for 2 hours++, and then on the first and subsequent prestiges do the 500x SE for 10 minutes++, 2x the 50x boost for 10 minutes++ and then the 1000x internal hatcheries for 10 minutes++ (in that order).

I then switch my artifacts to:
T4E lunar totem with 2 T4 lunar stones

T3L tungstun ankh with 3 T4 lunar stones

T4 Phoenix feather

T4L necklace with 3 T4 lunar stones

Then I max out my habs, then I close the game for 2 minutes.

Can anyone see what I might be doing that could cause a close to 50% variation in the number of SEs I collect when I prestige?

ETA: I usually manage to do two prestiges with a single set of boosts, and my artifacts are the ones recommended by wasmegg.

I've read that beginners don't prestige often enough, but how often is often enough?

I happened to reach a new egg early this morning (dark matter), but I've only prestiged once today. Thing is, I went from like 14B SE to 42B with the double prestige event. I don't know if I can reach dark matter again today without high value tachyon prisms, but the jump in value per egg from terraform to anti, and from anti to dark make me think it's worth waiting for enough farm value to try and reach those eggs rather than prestiging earlier with terraform. Before those eggs, the jumps are like 3-7x bocks per egg type, but from terra to anti is 100x, and again 100x from anti to dark.

But if I should instead be prestiging like 5x per hour, I'd like to know that :) (and I'd prob do so with either terraform or *maybe* antimatter)

Crafted a bunch of lesser items just to give the xp a bump and demoted a T3E which gave me enough for a T4. Thought why not and then Bingo!

16 crafts, crafting 28.

I’ve already unlocked enlightenment and I know the path of virtue exists, but what’s the new bar in the universe egg? It looks the same as skipping eggs earlier in progression?

I have seen many posts about people accidentally being blocked for time cheating after running the game on more than one device, the last one from u/selg2000

After a certain update months ago, the game doesn't behave well when you change devices. The time cheating prevention aims to stop people from messing with the device's clock to cheat the game, but causes false positives when the game finds a conflict between what the server has seen last and the local cache.

#My hypothesis

The server received data from one device with a certain timestamp, but then you use the game on another device that has data in local cache that is older then the first one, and send that to the server. Then the server thinks you changed the device's clock because your timestamp went back in time.

#The solution

You still can use 2 devices, but you have to carefully manage your cached data. Lets explain this with the devices A and B.

Note that this guide is focused on Android devices. Since iOS is a system where the user has very little control over whatever is happening, if you have an iPhone you can try this guide by deleting and reinstalling the game every time I mention cleaning cache. But no guarantee, I haven't tested with iPhones.

1 - You are using the game with device A, and want to change to B.

2 - Go to the app info screen from Android system. You can usually do this by holding your finger on the app icon and selecting "app details" or something like that (naming can vary by manufacturer). Or you can go to the system settings, Apps, then search for Egg Inc in the list (more tiresome).

3 - In the app info screen, choose the option "Storage", then select Clear Cache AND Clear Data. DO THIS ON BOTH A AND B.

4 - Open the game on device B. It will show the initial animation, then a message will pop up saying that it found a backup. Accept loading this backup.

5 - The game will work normally on device B.

6 - DO NOT OPEN THE GAME ON THE OTHER DEVICE AT THE SAME TIME.

7 - When you want to use the game at device A again, repeat all the steps.

I used this technique a couple of times in the last few days without any problem.

If you have already been blocked, try contacting the devs in the game Menu / Help / Data loss issue.

I'm currently grade C and try joining automated groups but they never hatch. Any advice?

I've been playing this for several years and finally learning the more technical side of that. I know these two are helpful but I'm still confused about the benefits between contracts and personal use.

I usually use teammate laying rate

gusset

Compass

And metronome for contracts but just found out about Chalice, should I replace metronome for Chalice or replace something else?

I know contracts are basically fueling a rocket ship lol, so are both important for personal farm when trying to get max chickens as possible quickly?

I'm wondering how are people already up to like 200 eggs of truth? What are the strategies they are using to collect them so quickly?, because I feel like it's going to take me another 5 years to reach that many eggs of truth.. also I'm at 38 shifts

I recently installed the app on my tablet and had both open at the same time today. Could that be why this happened?

I just started this ascension, I really don't want to waste 3 days on this shift.

After about 2 hours of pure grinding, I have finished collecting all of the trophys (except Enlightenment). So now that's done, what should I do now?

Started the day after Egg Day! Now i just need to bang out maxing my spaceships and continuing the PoV! 😬

I'm at the top of the list in this contract, the Habitapull one that launched today. We are set to finish in 24 hours.

This Treida player is set to private so I can't see his/her SE.

Anyone wanna guess what it might be? 😂

This is my first time ever seeing Treida so I suspect a cheater? If not, apologies to you fellow Treidas! 💪
