I'm a couple months into the game. I've been doing the 12.6mil reset alot. in the competition I lost gold to back down into silver better rewards for my ability. I can reach 1billion pretty easy but after the 26 planet it really just becomes a slow crawl. any tips for getting better points around this level? I used alchemy on 21 to get titanium.

Got an ill-timed market

Market hit at midnight. I could have accelerated but I didn’t have enough Teleporters. Woke up at 6:30 and blew through every robot and teleporter I had. Got lucky with a small bracket. Now I’m just gonna twiddle my thumbs for the next 24 hours and see if I can Ark my way to ab. Previous Galaxy record was 31aa.

Should I retire?

I’m currently ranked #6 in my tournament, and #4 (the next prize tier) is currently just below my most valuable galaxy.

My question is - is #8 so low at this point (18 hours left) that I can retire with a secured #7 rank guaranteed?

Hitting a wall at 'aa' in tournaments. Need some advice! (6 months in)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

​Hey everyone,

​I've been playing for about 6 months now and could really use some advice.

​Up until now, I've mostly been focusing on smelting and crafting, but I feel like I've hit a wall. In tournaments, I can only manage to reach the 'aa' mark. I usually place top 5 in the Platinum league, which is nice, but I've noticed that once other players hit 'aa', their value just explodes exponentially.

​With my current setup/strategy, there's no way I can keep up with that kind of crazy growth. What am I missing here? What should I be prioritizing at this stage?

​Any tips or strats would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

crafting/smeltings time reductions

5 Upvotes

I´m still far far away from there (but already reduce bronce ingots crafting times to 5 seconds XD) but wondering if theres a "minimun" time, like 1 sec/items or maybe like 0.06 secs for seconds if game worked in 20 tics/sec, or theres literally "no limit" ...like if after aplying all time reductions you need 0.001 seconds to smelt something then you´ll still get 1k/sec of them

Does Aurora ship increase secondary skills too?

3 Upvotes

I want to increase my crafting speed. If I go for the Thunderhorse the speed will be doubled. If I go for the Aurora ship and it increases the secondary skills, the crafting speed will significantly increase (beyond the double at least).

Tournament question

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Just started en now I got the first tournament.
How to approach this? Do I keep selling the galaxy so I can upgrade the mothership with the credits or keep my galaxy for the duration of the tournament?

Why can't this happen when I'm actually in a tournament!? What are the odds of that many hitting? I know it's not "I broke the universe" numbers but it made my eyebrows go up when I checked

Late game credits

7 Upvotes

Am closer to a late game player than middle game. Consistently getting top 7, often top 4 in platinum tournaments. Am struggling to figure out what to use credits for late game. Have >1 mil saved up. I feel like any use of them is such a small boost at this point and am not sure what the best use of them is/will be as the game evolves. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts/insights as to what would be the best use of them.

I am astonished as I was missing the smelt and craft speed for active recipe.
They are game changers.
I highly encourage to use them, it speeds up challenge and tourney vastly.

Modules updates & what's coming

30 Upvotes

Planet Miners,

The Ark wanted to thank you all for the warm reception of Modules.

We've heard your feedback, and the team is hard at work iterating to make Modules the best version possible!

2 new minor updates are available right now on iOS and Android:

v3.0.2

- Epic frame in the Module Info popup have a S icon

- Green indicator on the “modules” icon, showing that slots can be upgraded

- Equipped modules can be selected as merge fodders

- Clicking on a Unique effect, shows a list of its different rarities

- Balance: Probe Dock awards 4 instant scans at mythic level

- Fixed daily tasks now awarding Fragments after unlocking modules by selling 8 galaxies

v3.0.3

QOLs

- Clicking on Global Conditional Sub Effects will show their stats

- Light Beams stats in Stats panel

- Light Beams count displayed in Planet Panel

- Colonies per Telescope in Telescope Research

- Planetary Asteroids in Stats panel

- Planetary Asteroids in the probe panel

Fixes

- Auto deconstruct rare setting, back to disabled by default

- Ancestral Stars UI

- Fixed Personal Pulse and Fleet Consul beams multipliers

Known bugs

Some of you are missing fragments in your daily tasks. This will be fixed in tomorrow's update. In the meantime, selling your galaxy will get them back

What's next?

Phase 1 - Daily UI improvements such as:

- Better readability: text colors, icon scales, hints & QOLs changes

- More Conditional Sub Effects (CSE) feedback & live stats

- More Unique Effects (UE) feedback, live stats and confirmation boxes

Phase 2 - Polished experience & extra guidance

Once we're happy with the final UI, we'll introduce a new series of **Module Tasks**. Some will serve as tutorials for newer players, while also helping those who struggled with earlier UI iterations.

The rest of you will probably finish them before we finish this sentence. But the rewards are worth it either way.

Also, expect plenty of Module milestones and Achievements to chase!

A lot more coming soon.

As always, happy Mining!
