increase the rate at which potential RP can be earned

[sterile scarab]

so, from what ive heard the way that gaining RP from ore works is that the limit is cumulative. this means that if you dont manage to get the RP for one day, then the next day you are able to get 2 RP. i dont like this because the main reason i was excited for this update was because i thought i would be able to get more than one RP per day but this update only makes it so you dont miss out on RP by being offline for a day. make it so that the cumulative system allows you to get more than one "potential" RP per day

another thing you could do is make RP cost less company coins

[broken orbit]

So, they didn't really fix their system then. Instead of getting 1 free rp point a day through the jobs system, they made it so you can still only get one a day, but you have to work for it?

[sterile scarab]

pretty much

[broken orbit]

Dang, that kinda sucks

[sterile scarab]

the 4 we got on the first day was a lie

[broken orbit]

Is the buildup of the cumulative system infinite? Like if i were to take a hiatus for like 2 weeks, could I get 14 if I tried hard enough?

[sterile scarab]

i heard that theres a limit of 5 but im unsure

[broken orbit]

Ouch

[sterile scarab]

ok apparently if you are really lucky you can get 2 in one day

but still

[rain stump]

ive gotten 5 in a single day

[sterile scarab]

was that yesterday?

[rain stump]

yeah

it was heavenly luck ig

[sterile scarab]

yeah that was an outlier

[rain stump]

ok

[sterile scarab]

on the first day we started with 4/5 limit

now its cumulative

[left mauve]

@sterile scarab Even though I mined alot yesterday I got none and today I got 4, is that the cumulative effect?

[strong turtle]

ye

[sterile scarab]

bump

ok im confused now

bumo

*bump

i want this to get noticed by staff

[sterile scarab]

adding on to this, you could make RP really cheap (like 25 or 50 company coins per RP) and remove RP from being directly mined

i do tend to get a lot of company coins

[royal stirrup]

I could check the odds in the code if you want me too

[sterile scarab]

the odds of what?

[royal stirrup]

getting research crystals

and the cap

[sterile scarab]

if my theory is correct, you only get one a day

unless its the first day or if you missed previous days

ngl i really like the idea of just using the company coins

[tidal reef]

this is false, i got 4 RP first day

[sterile scarab]

yeah everyone did

not entirely sure why

probably some kind of thing where it thought everyone was inactive for the previous days

and then once we mined them we can now only get one per day

i am starting to doubt my theory though

[tidal reef]

well im gonna play later today to fact check

[sterile scarab]

after this

[tidal reef]

yeah im pretty sure its 4

and coins are unlimited i think

[sterile scarab]

yeah

hence why i want it to be easier to buy RP with company coins

[tidal reef]

maybe if they added back the daily missions (not the free RP)

[sterile scarab]

@fossil pagoda what made you come up with the theory of potential RP being cumulative?

you are the person i heard the theory from

[fossil pagoda]

coda said it first

also I think getting 3 rp per day would be a good amount

or 2

[sterile scarab]

i think it should be mostly infinite

[sterile scarab]

also if coda said it then its confirmed

hes a part of the dev team

[hallow forge]

i have gotten over 10 the past days it aint that hard bro

[sterile scarab]

have you?

[hallow forge]

100% no joke

[sterile scarab]

you are the only one ive seen saying this

everyone else is saying they got 4/5 on the first day then 1/2 most days from now on

[hallow forge]

i got 4 on tuesday, 3 yesterday and 3 today

[sterile scarab]

huh

how much have you been playing?

[hallow forge]

like 3 hours ingame

maybe 4

[sterile scarab]

per day or in total?

[hallow forge]

total

i play like 2 hours a day total but not much luck

i still get atleast 2 every day

[tidal reef]

i can back up i got 4 today

although i bought 2 with the coins i got

in an hour

[sterile scarab]

ok today i mined for like an hour and mined 2 RP and got a third from buying with CC (although most of the CC came from previous days)

both mined RP came from the purple crate crystals

ore guide here, so you know the difference between crate crystals and amethyst

wait hang on i think the ore guide might be wrong

i think crate crystals have higher chance of RP, not amethyst

[trail notch]

from my experience, amethyst has the highest, crate crystals have only given me crates

[sterile scarab]

ok i saw justtoasty's latest video

i saw him mine 2/3 (probably 3) RP from sewers

all of which came from amethyst

[sterile scarab]

ok im pretty sure theres a limit on how many cc you can earn per day

[south heath]

I got 2 today and I play for like 15 mins everyday

[sterile scarab]

i seem to be consistently getting 2 a day

[sterile scarab]

so this is how it works

i'd say decreasing the chance but making it unlimited would be a good choice

[sterile scarab]

i am curious on how the cc limit works
