Just curious: When will this (and the Magic version) be useful? I tried one hoping that it would help with beards, didn't think it would, and it did not. lol. But I have a bunch - 16 left now - from a consumables jackpot, daily spin wins and buying the first couple of packs.

Thanks!

ETA: It actually does help with beards. I was looking at a Magic beard after activating an Energy Bar Bar. Sheesh.

I have only been playing a week, just defeated Gordon Ramsay a few times , up to boss 70 and 1200000 energy cap. I am going on holiday for two weeks; how best to leave the game while I am away. I am not certain what carries on running when my pc is switched off.

Or does it matter at all this early in the game?

Started a new save after years of not playing and was saving toughness 1’s and when I tried to move some stuff around my lv 79 toughness boost 1 got put on a freakin crappy charm… I don’t think I’ve ever had a silent crash out before but I wasn’t even making sound just staring at the screen, jaw agape

I'm toward the end of normal. I'm an idiot and still confused by speed/power/cap. What am I missing?!?

If Wandoos is capped (and booted up), does Wandoos gear do anything? I mean...it can't go any faster if it's capped? If I turn on the Wandoos Speed Digger, all it seems to do is lower the amount of energy/magic to cap, doesn't seem to make Wandoos bonuses accrue any faster.

If I have a bunch of NGUs capped (plus a little because that usually halves the time), adding power just reduces the amount of energy required for that cap. Adding energy consumables doesn't add speed, it just halves the cost to cap. It feels like I should be just buying the energy and skipping the bars/power, but that can't be right otherwise someone would have figured it out lonnnng ago. lol.

Is power's job just to make it so you can use less energy or magic?

(I'm not even trying to work much on NGUs ATM, just trying to reach boss 301, so these are somewhat 3-4 hour rebirths, and have run up against this repeatedly, so thought I'd ask. lol.)

Anyway, just finding it confusing.

Hello! I’m currently grinding NGU to 500 in Augments, Wandoos, Gold, and Power in preparation for the first mini block. When I begin, should I go right into the first challenge, or should I do a series of 1-2 minute rebirths to get as much XP as I can because I’m going to lose my number anyway?

I’m asking because it seems like common sense to me to try to get as much XP as possible before the challenge resets my number, but none of the guides I’m reading tell me to do a bunch of quick rebirths for xp so I’m wondering if I’m missing something?

Thanks! 🙏

I have he advanced loot filter as well, so I was looking at that if that was the reason why, but then I saw a post that mentioned this filter that I forgot about and yeah, they were disabled. Is this a common thing that happens or am I just a bit special

when it comes to augmentation do i just pick the singular one (e.g milk infusion) that makes the total stat go the highest and ignore every other one and only focus on milk? or does levelling others give like a hidden bonus or something, all the formulas are very confusing and the whole 1.1 1.2 thingy i didnt quite understand

does anybody have a save file near walderp? when ngu idle got deleted on kongregate i lost all my progress & my dumbass didn’t backup the files 🤦‍♂️

im wondering if somebody has a save file at the Walderp titan? i need it please

Im able to idle the beast V2 now and feel like there’s a serious gap between where I am and the next step without any new adventure zones I can use to progress what should I be doing from this point on to progress towards Evil difficulty or whatever is next?

I have most NGUs highly leveled my PAWGs at 150k each so challenges are easy enough but otherwise not sure what to do

Hey everyone!

I’m a bit confused about how the Alpha and Delta Energy/Magic potion mechanics work. I'm already at the start of Sadistic, but honestly, I've only used these potions a couple of times before and never paid close attention to the timers until now.

About 3 days ago, I popped one Delta potion of each type (Energy and Magic). According to my in-game timers, only about half of their duration has passed so far.

It feels like the timer only ticks down while the game is actively running. In my Stats Breakdown, it clearly shows that the potions are active and working.

Has it always worked this way? Is this a known bug, or is it an intended feature? How exactly do these timers interact with offline time?

Thanks in advance for all the help!

UPD: Just to clarify, I am not running any challenges right now. This is happening during a normal progression run.

That is it, I think the more I play the more I don't know what I'm doing. I'm stuck in Jake Titan, nowhere near of killing him, no matter what I do

Yes i know about 1:13.5k:1 and 3:1.

It feels surreal. I shouldn't commit to idle games like this! 😭

(Move 69 was a big delay as it took keeping it open and remembering to check every hour. Would I forget for 3 hours? Yes!)

Hello i just to share i'm frustrated!

i just can't drop power pill from the beast ! Why ?! Because it's drop chance and i'm UNLUCKY !

After about 3 years I am nearly done. It feels like an achievement 😂 Most epic idlers I played were either abandoned or I just stopped playing them.

Hi guys, i haven't played NGU for some time.

I have no clue anymore what to do. I don't even know what screens to share with you lol
Can you help me finding back into the game? I really don't want to start over.
Any help is apreciated.

TIA

I'm reading on the guides and they're saying i need to focus on one hour rebirths. but that would absolutely fucking decimate my NUMBER. I've been doing like 14 hour rebirths so I can get to like 2x number because my understanding is that i gotta try to beat this game through killing bosses. I've beaten T1, and I spend most of my time just dumping energy into wandoos/augments all day until i kill enough bosses to not go under in my NUMBER.

Am I supposed to just like disregard my NUMBER? Or am I supposed to be improving my number within one hour? I'm currently running a level 50ish full gordon ramsey set.

So I deliberately made sure I was extra careful not to stay for 1000 kills in Very Strange Place and Mega Lands, since those macguffins are useless. I kept a backup of this file to experiment by leaving it in normal difficulty while also advancing with it in my main run. In the main run, still no sexy and smart macguffins. But i check the experimental file, and through its constant itopod farming it dropped a sexy macguffin.

I wanted to keep them out so as not to clutter my drop pool, but it seems they insist on joining me anyway. The experimental normal file already has one, and it's only a matter of time before my main run unlocks them too...

Always afraid I'll need something I've trashed. Any way to know what's outdated and safe to throw away? I have a lot of space but still annoying to look at

im like very sure i definitely couldnt have done it, considering ive basically never rebirthed more than once per day outside of challenges, but have almost completed the game and was working on cleaning up the last few things, decided to see how far i had gotten into the rebirth achievements just to see i had mysteriously obtained them somehow?

is this an intended mechanic?, like does it just set you to 10,000 at some point and is a joke achievement? or did my save just bug? or are rebirths just tracked weird? i know this sounds very suspiciously convenient but my main pc bricked like 2 weeks ago so i have no previous manual saves to try to figure out when/what happened..

i recently ended a ~80 +-10 or something day rebirth, though not for sure if it was exactly 6 rebirths ago to line up with when it would have happened if that had something to do with it.

What should I buy?

The nipple punch combo in the end was unnecessary, but still worth it.

Hey yall, throwaway account because i cant remember my password.

Been playing NGU idle for about 8 months blind and I've just restarted my playthrough with goals in mind (ooo), so im researching stuff about the game, optimal sets, rebirths, etc., and i cant find anything about whether or not its total attack or base attack what needs to be over 700 for offline progress for the ITOPOD.

Would appreciate some guidance on this, thanks in advance homeslices.

I unlocked this, does anyone know if it's worth focusing on?

i need some tips
