Afaik the 25-30 lifespan is not quite right. People tended to fie 50-60 of weird agues and things. But it was dragged down by massive child mortality, as well as other mid-life causes.

I think the more critical thing is how much excess resource a civilisation can generate so it can afford to support people who are paid to think, rather than grow food and clothe themselves

Most societies through history, almost everybody had to be growing the food or involved in clothing. And ofc, rearing the next generation.

fluid delta
#

And ofc at some point, some damn thing kills you, no matter what precautions you take. So there's that.

short copper
#

Paleo people beyond 40 would have been considered dead weight I guess. They could no longer do the things they used to, and would need to be supported by those still young enough to.

gray yew
#

Then there's the fact that if you keep going for such a long time, the chance of you making it to your dying day without a scratch on you is...not exactly high.

gray yew
short copper
#

Maybe, but they couldn’t continue to be primary sustenance providers.

#

Also, 40 is a bit young for us.

#

Back then, it was likely quite old.

What do you think has been our greatest leap? I think it’s complex language.

amber canyon

I’m sure it’s a combination of stuff. Whales, dolphins, and octopi are all very smart. Some of them have complex language. But something we have they do not are opposable thumbs.

Walking upright? Speech? Good contenders ...

I'm going to go with the (hypothetical) proposal that we domesticated ourselves.

In much the same way we domesticated some animals which means they're less aggressive, can live together and communicate with us. It's an unusual theory, but I think the ability and desire to cooperate is important too.

fluid delta
#

Yes, I concur, we domesticated ourselves. So did Cats.. and Dogs (but mostly we did the deed, there)

noble dune
gray yew
#

Does that mean that we can ā€œgo feralā€ too?

amber canyon
# noble dune i cant find it

So, off hand I think you can find ||Bigfoot|| in about ||3 clicks from the starting point in the land garden.||

You ||click on the hippos or something down in the river bend in front of you, you then click into the woods a little bit further away from the starting platform and they're around there.||

gray yew
#

Then again, I’ve heard that humans are ā€œObligately sapientā€-without tools and technologies, we cannot survive.
So maybe no.

short copper
#

I’ve seen stories of feral people. It’s not the general rule, but you can have some that are.

gray yew
#

They do generally act like dogs though. At least in the stories I’ve heard, because they were raised by dogs.

It does depend on what one terms "feral", yeah

gray yew

#

Like I said, it depends on how you define "feral" in the context of humans

gray yew
#

Difficult to define, I guess.

fluid delta
#

idk about that.. just pick a definition and then people will either fall within it or they won't.. and I haven't bothered to look up the official definition, so.. šŸ™‚

Yeah.

I suppose like sapience, it’s difficult to define.

fluid delta

#

9 months too late for that

amber canyon
#

I think feral is technically a domesticated species (which somewhat comes down to their breeding being controlled to develop certain desirable traits) which 'escapes' from domestication.

In reality - like many things - there:s a lot of grey between the black or white cases. And ofc humans aren't technically domesticated.

placid egret
#

just think abt it

short copper
fluid delta
#

No, that doesn't make any sense.. the devs themselves don't have a roadmap (that they've shared) that goes out that far

Could be both! Depending on which release dates you count. It's always 9 months early somewhere in time.

I think it just happens as you unlock more of the tree in the primary sim? The wiki doesn't say anything special about it as far as I can tell.

short copper
#

Yeah I think that’s right. Just keep playing, and eventually you will unlock cetaceans - whales and dolphins and shit.

#

I think in the current game, cetaceans is second to last generator to unlock. Feliformes is last.

No I never was even given an option to create a password. It just asked me if I would like to use my email as the account and showed my email that is used for all my gaming stuff. I clicked on the email and it said it was linked. I tried to use my emails password to log in just to see if that was the password it was going off of but like I said I never at all assigned any password.

Also I'm worried if I log out I will lose all my progress.

Make sure you have a note of your user ID thingy. That seems to be one of the things the cells team ask for if you do lose your save file(s).

fickle oyster
#

Do event brackets start when you join or when the event starts? Eg if I join 12 hours after the event starts did that bracket start 10 hours after the event or did it start when the event started?

fluid delta
#

So whenever you start the event, you're put into whatever the current Div is.. unless you would be the 1001 player for that Div, in which case a new one is started, and you are player 1 in that Div

fickle oyster

Twice I’ve joined roughly 24 hours after and I’ve been like 970th

#

Trying to see if that’s bad luck or something else

#

Guess maybe it’s bad luck

fluid delta
#

Idk how you do that. I've never been that low, ever, even when I started playing.

#

Like the only way I think it's possible is if you start the event, then hardly do anything in it

#

Or I guess if you play, but early on it loses a connection to the game server and never reconnects.. but not sure I've ever seen that either

It's not just you, the current last Beyond is 28. There will be a 29 then a 30, and at that point they intend some kind of Prestige system, but it probably won't be like Meso.

29 and 30 will be sometime this coming Winter

#

Should I spend my dark matter and stardust points on upgrades that don't add much stardust gen? lol

gray yew
#

Mostly no.
At that stage, they don't provide much (or at least, any noticeable amount) of stardust, so upgrading them wouldn't be worth it.
Then again, I say "mostly" no because, ASSUMING YOU DON'T NEED THE DARK MATTER FOR ANYTHING ELSE, you can upgrade those trait cards so that, when you reset and go round again, it'll be slightly easier.

#

i have a question to all of you, what happen if i get the singularity my progress in the primary will go back at the cells right ?

fluid delta
#

Primary only resets when you tell it to, in Reality Engine.. and it only makes sense to do that when you've bought node(s) in the Reality Engine (to make those nodes take effect).. which you can afford by earning metabits in Primary

soft swift
#

im scared that my primary will wipe out ang back to zero again

#

this is im talking about

#

my progress will reset

fluid delta
#

RIght. The purpose of Primary is to generate metabits, that's the 32.58M you have of them. .. Hmm, I had forgotten it does that the first time.

#

So yeah, it will reset Primary only, but you keep your Metabits generated, and next time it should let you go farther than Singularity

soft swift
#

okayy, im trying my self to take a time to calm and accept that im going to wipe out my long journey

#

hahahaahaahšŸ˜‚

fluid delta
#

Just consider it part of the game (which it is). You'll be resetting Primary many times, each time it will go faster, you'll generate more metabits.

soft swift
#

awwww

fluid delta
#

You'll see. And don't neglect Beyond, Mesozoic Valley, or Events ( = explore). If you haven't gotten to those yet, you will!

i thinking about the mars if i dont get the singularity i thought there something i can explore the outer hidden scenarios

fluid delta
#

The other scenarios (as you put it) are the ones I listed. And yeah, you can

I realise the irrelevance of this question at this given moment, but whatever happened to the Cells roblox game? Was it just a brief event? Or was it deleted with the new rule about maturity ratings?

amber canyon
# desert pebble Should I spend my dark matter and stardust points on upgrades that don't add muc...

I'm currently just trying to get my Stage 2s all at the same level. Just to be tidy, not for any other reason. Because at a certain point you just have so much dark matter that there's no point in saving it.

I expect some will be needed for E29 and 30 and maybe if anything happens after that. But I figured, I'll have more dark matter by then (the ongoing research missions and free things every 4 hours will keep my stash growing slowly).

#

Re stardust. Again, not much point but I got my ||Messier and Quasar|| to a round number, then am upgrading the levels of generators as I collect enough stardust. Might as well do something except watch ads while I'm checking in to collect stuff 🤷.

wraith terrace
amber canyon
#

Yeah, the Beyond Stage 2 commons ... It def prioritizes giving you commons that are closer to the current episode (entirely sensible!). I was wondering about being 'slow' when E29 comes out specifically to collect more of the E19 commons etc. so I can level them out.

It's not like there's any rush šŸ™‚.

Re Meso ... I'm always short of mutagen and I'm still working on maxing my golds. So haven't tried to level up the lower dino's yet. I did notice that after maxing out normal traits (the 2 giga ones) it stops giving you those completely. So am assuming that in ~3+ years (lol) when I've finished maxing out the golds and silvers and go back to the normal, that problem will fix itself ...

#

(I appreciate the timescales sound ridiculous)

wraith terrace
#

Funny thing is, in Beyond, I don't get 2 of the highest cards. In Meso, it's Bird Brain.

#

Then again, in Meso, I f**ed up when I leveled a gold to 11

#

Oomph

amber canyon
#

Hm? Maybe it isn't prioritizing higher levels in Beyond. Could it be doing things you've levelled more recently? That could end in a vicious circle of not being able to upgrade something because you're not getting cards, which results in not getting cards. I believe that's one of the Meso mechanisms (at least for normal traits, I'm not sure if it's the same for gold/silver).

You fucked up levelling a gold in Meso?

#

The cards I notice as weird in Meso are Cretaceous and Feathers (I don't pay much attention to the normal ones). So much so at one point I spent 30 mins working out how many cards I'd ever got of the gold and silver traits (thanks, wiki!). I've just updated it (as it's vaguely relevant), see snip. The Y axis is amounts relative to Cretaceous (the one I have least of) not absolute.

gray yew
#

1: You mean mutagen. Stardust is the Beyond.

#

2: Like I said, you keep the silver and gold trait cards. They aren’t affected, and you can continue to level them up, if you can afford it.
Regular trait cards, however, get reset. You’ll have to earn/level them up again.

#

3: As for mutagen resetting: I’m not sure. I can’t remember, but probably.

strange wing
amber canyon
# placid egret I GOTTA DO THIS AGAIN?

Try and use a diamond geode or two while you're at 50. You'll get a large number of gold and silver trait cards (that you keep) and which will make the prestiges easier.

# past jasper Hi guys is my divison weak? 5k science at #2

Hard to tell. As well as each event being different and stuff, its like if the div opened 5 mins ago then NO, if it opened a day a go then YES (probably). The best way is to just see how it feels (unless you find someone in a nearby division and compare notes ofc).

Yeah it's hard to tell since this is my first time spending my dedication into the event

I have 4x production from ads (i think most of us do if we push lb?) and decided to collect my rewards once in a while, because of the 2x ad rewards

I've been doing this since the event started for like 3 hours, excluding sleeping

Events aren't in a specific order that we know, except where Computer Lunch explicitly tells us the next several of them.. usually you can see the next few upcoming in the game itself. That said, there's patterns, it often follows the order that's shown under your name in the game, but not always.

awesome!! When you reach 50, you'll have the option of starting Primary and Reality Engine over, and get a 2x bonus to Primary.. it'll be called "Legacy Protocol" (see #šŸ““-dev-diary )

i thought that was alpha/beta stuff?

i didn't upgrade my lower grade production this time

why does this give nothing btw?

legacy protocol gives 2x sim boost

weak tulip
#

i mean this

strange wing
# weak tulip you mean the badge?

oh misunderstood. i thought you were talking about the legacy protocol in primary sim.
For the legacy in art event, that's the last upgrade so uh.. nothing more to buy beyond that. Gives boost just doing nothing lol

weak tulip
#

i see no point in unlocking this before i go to sleep. tomorrow i will upgrade production and then unlock and move on

#

yeah but it gives no benefit

strange wing
#

but 20 Dc is kinda expensive tbh

weak tulip
#

after upgrading low toer gens, i'm in #7, that's more like it. I will save overnight preoduction before i move on

#

not really i already kinda have it

#

but no point in unlocking now as i will go to sleep soon

#

although i guess i could, just shouldn't open the research

strange wing
weak tulip
#

yeah i need it anyway tomorrow and it doesn't cost me really. just sad it gives no, ifk, 100% on something

but opening it now would be a mistake since i will go to sleep

How to unlock these nodes in main simulation?

fluid delta
#

I do wish the game didn’t hide that ā€œfeatureā€, I only discovered how to access them by accident, around when I was new to the game

desert pebble
#

I have at least 800 of the generatora

fluid delta
#

ok one sec while i look on mine

#

Are you sure? How many Neolithic do you have? They’re both Neolithic nodes. I see you don’t have Gobekli Tepe yet, you could click/tap on that and see what happens, that might be the reason (but it will cost DW or Logits, idk which since I already have it)

#

… though that affects Stone Age, so I wouldn’t think it would be related, except both nodes are maybe thematically related, so..

Hello everyone
Hope you all are doing great
I never thought I’d face daily racism staying in my own country.
I’m a 19-year-old engineering student studying outside my home state, and recently I’ve been receiving hateful, racist messages online , just for being Indian.

It’s sad and confusing to see people so full of anger toward us when we haven’t done anything to deserve it. Indians everywhere ,at home or abroad they too deserve respect like anyone else.

Even though this hate speech hurts, I refuse to let it break me. I’m proud of who I am, proud of where I come from, and I’ll rise above this.

To anyone facing the same — remember, you’re not alone. Their hate says more about them than about you.

strange lark
#

this is a really random message but um cool yeah youre speaking facts

#

Play on mobile (ipad is best but phone is fine) and always watch at least 5 ads to get the 4x speed boost (each ad ups time by 4 hours, it switches from 2x to 4x at the 16h mark)

#

That’s all you need to do events. The more often you do events, the faster they will go next time (30% boost for the same event, 3% for non-events)

dull flax
#

oh yes, i should have totally said boosts intead of darwinium

fluid delta
#

There will be a few things in Primary you will need to spend Darwinium on, but you will get that from free sources while playing the game.. same with logits

#

All that said, if you start as a new player (on mobile) it is very nice to spend for the (1 month of) Infinity Pass once only.

#

(bc it allows you to get all ad boosts everywhere in the game for free during that time)

dull flax
#

i played this game for a long time, but this is actually my third account playing it i think

fluid delta
#

You can basically do all the game in 1 month if you are determined

dull flax
#

something similar happened to the second one, now im playing on a computer

fluid delta
#

oh..that sucks, i’m sorry. yeah, you can upload a save to the cloud so you can use it across devices. on PC has no ad boosts though, it’s way slower to play on it compared to a phone or tablet unless you spend a lot of darwinium

dull flax
#

eh, im totally fine with it, playing in on pc makes it easy to have on a second window while doing other stuff

#

i kinda like it more this way

fluid delta
#

if you have a ipad, that’s the best experience. You could perhaps run cells within a android emulator on PC, that would probably work really well and you could then watch ads etc

dull flax
#

thanks for the help anyways

fluid delta
#

np

#

seriously though, try it in an Android emulator

i kinda missed some stuff, like this halloween achievement

If you are at one of those points, and just waiting while the generators do their thing isn't allowing you to add to those generators (and thus give you 1 science each time you do), then you need to go to the next challenge level and continue

tame aspen

Ahhhhh

supple dock

adguard on my local network is an obvious culprit.

going on 5G network does enable the green buttons indeed.

fluid delta

Yeah, if you prevent ads from working, it won’t let you do the ad boost. I get around it by using the content blockers on Safari.. I also have NextDNS which I keep toggled off unless I choose to play some other game or app and want the ads off.

Had a similair issue myself, using a pi-hole, had to do it myself, still some adds can appear to load, but "freeze" the game, same thing still apply, white-list more, (aka look in your log's and see what the recent (last minute) events are with unity-adds in particulair).

aka right after you tried an add in prev. minute.

fluid delta

Atm I mainly play events to rank top 10 for the black holes. Other mildly useful things are the 1% badge boost to the 3 main sims (and the badge boost to the event itself). And very vaguely useful are the diamond geodes rewards.

nodnod.. I only do events, usually do them as fast as possible while doing something else, and grab the research in Beyond 28 every couple of days when I know they're done

weak tulip
#

well beyond has 4 white dwarfs every day basically

#

if you don't claim/redo reserach you miss out

#

more than 4 actually if you hover over the game all day

fluid delta
#

Just 2 (1x24h, 1x36h), unless you watch ads

weak tulip
#

i mean i get 2 every 5h? if i claim than

#

then there's research which is usually on 5x boost

fluid delta
#

yes but those you gotta watch ads for. Oh sure, I'm talking zero boost

weak tulip
#

oh i don't

#

infinity pass parks

#

perks

#

but yeah i won't renew it until beyond 29 is out, so progress will be a tad slower

fluid delta
#

yeah, makes sense. still, given the time between beyonds, I get the cards on the key starts/galaxies up enough to give me what I want in 29, and still be lazy about it šŸ™‚

weak tulip
#

white dwarfs don't give that much usually

#

though i just need one more hit for messier to double it, which would be huge

fluid delta
#

my Messier has a ways to go, farthest is 132/200.

weak tulip
#

my messier is bigger wow

#

i think i got it up to 185 now

fluid delta
#

nodnod if the cards are still at 7 when 29 drops, that'll be more than fine

weak tulip
#

oof, imagine if they reset common cards lol

#

can't imagine why they would though

fluid delta
#

heh

weak tulip
#

probs after 30 someway

fluid delta
#

idk.. maybe.. we'll see what the Prestige system looks like

weak tulip
#

well anything is better than just a dead end tbh

fluid delta
#

idk about that.. I mean Meso Prestige, that would be worse, bc you would essentially have to do it

weak tulip
fluid delta
#

if there's one part of the game I actively dislike, it's the Meso prestige system

weak tulip
#

yeah meso is fricking boring, i still haven't gotten to presitge 2 even though i could have a while ago

fluid delta
#

yep.. i put off doing it until a few months ago.. or was it the spring? something like that

weak tulip
#

i dunno why, but even with that prestige system, beyond would still be more fun to replay.

fluid delta
#

maybe

weak tulip
#

i hope they make it somehow even better tho

fluid delta
#

me too

weak tulip
#

meso is like always rinse repeat. "asteroid" -> "buy 1 of each until you reach top gen, then buy max of those, maybe max of 2nd bets gen as well. -> let is rest a few days -> finish all missions, open 16x geodes in a row"

viral heath
#

Is it just me or does Meso progress way faster than beyond

weak tulip
#

depends

#

but generally yes

#

but that's because to finish mezo you gotta to 550 extinction

#

while you only have to reset beyond 27 times

#

but once beyond 30 is out next year... this may change

viral heath

It’s not just that, I’m on Meso 45 which is almost done, whereas I’m only on beyond 15

#

Maybe I just have better upgrades

#

I feel like you get way more mutagen than dark matter

fluid delta
#

heh.. well, if you count Prestige levels of Meso (and the game does), then you are 15/28 on Beyond, but only 45/550 on Meso, so... šŸ™‚

viral heath
#

How does the prestige work on Meso

weak tulip
#

i have finished beyond 28 before i even finished mezo 50 lol

fluid delta
viral heath
#

Interesting I feel like that would take forever still lol

#

Is it higher costs or no

fluid delta
#

it does. it's very tedious.

viral heath
#

Do the costs scale each time

fluid delta
#

no, costs stay the same

viral heath
#

Okay that’s slightly better

fluid delta
#

yes.. it would be much worse if it scaled

#

still, people do all of meso, bc that's a 5500x multiplier on Primary if you have all the nodes related to it in the Reality Engine. Worth it!

I think you miscalculated. 950k divided by 7.93 makes around 120k seconds, which is a bit more than a day, that doesn't seem absurdly long.

amber canyon
#

Make sure you buy your most effective generators (don't forget when you rank them you get X3 production). Use ad boost if you can. Upgrade any gold and silver traits you can (buy black holes / blue stars if you can / want to spend the Darwinium).

amber canyon
fluid delta
# normal seal Like am I missing something

Yes, your ad boost, your progress will be 4x as fast while you keep that active (only 2x if you have it boosted for 16 hrs or less). Alternatively, a single month of Infinity Pass does the same thing for all the Cells content, and will get you through most of the game, if you play often.

amber canyon

Nice 🟪. Admittedly it's only around number because it lagged and I spent some amount on something I don't care about. But still.

Does that 39 with your Logits make you twitch a bit? grins

I have no idea how I've ended up with that number of logits ... Like for as long as I remember I've been getting round numbers (to the nearest 5 anyway)... And I imagine things cost a round number ...

There are worse problems to have 🤷 (although it is obviously designed to drive some of us insane 😁)

It did take ||quite a long time to get one badge|| from what I remember ... And the ||badge boost is tiny, so stays slow|| ...

exactly. It would have made sense if you got that in a much shorter amount of time, maybe made it the event where you can get to CL10 or something.. but, that's not what they chose

amber canyon
#

I do feel like I dislike the cheese event though ...

fluid delta

.. or, different prizes for the Top whatever.

#

Yep, not a fan of the Cheese event either

amber canyon
#

Is weird, because I love stuff about how stuff was made / done (e.g. the acoup blog posts on farming, textiles, smithing, Roman army logistics etc). And I love cheese (if only it wasn't so damn tasty I'd likely be vegan). But the Cheese event just doesn't do it for me.

fluid delta
#

nodnod.. yeah, it's something with how it builds.. idk, I haven't sat down and thought through it, but it doesn't do it for me either. I get what you mean about eating actual cheese.. ofc it's directly equivalent to meat from an ethical standpoint, but I know what you mean about the taste.

Normal is easy for me to keep track of, because I am familiar with the progression of large numbers in short scale. Up through centillion anyway. After that I Iose it until we get to millillion.

I think they're likely trying to work out how to set up the 'default' in the update.

I imagine if you start with Scientific, it might scare some people off, because maths. But they may be running out of letters to use (or space to fit them in) , given the ||extended scale|| in the update and all the new stuff on the GUIs.

Just a thought.

well, the 65% normal i agree with, those are the official acronyms for the numbers

Can anyone help me regarding save manager? Creating an account sounds great and all, and I just love spamming my data around the world (not). But... where would I be creating my account at? Which data is needed, and who handles it? And most important- can I remove CTS from Google Play without risk of losing anything, as I'm about to get rid of GP?

amber canyon
#

I created a login and a password. I used a single use email - as in only used for CTS, not use once and then it's gone (just cos that's how I do things generally).

Afaik when you upload a file it goes to the CTS servers. In the bug reporting they often talk as if they might be able to find your save file.

The game seems to also do some synching with Google play. I have two devices with Google play. When I created a second login and password for the alpha app and set it.up on my second device, my main CTS account got moved to the beta leaderboard. I've not noticed Google play doing anything useful, e.g. it doesn't seem to have backup files.

Duck Duck Go is what I use to create the single use emails. Unlimited number and free.

It accepts emails sent to the account, strips them of trackers and forwards them to your 'proper' email.

You can disable emails individually (often easier than going through the unsubscribe dance) and makes it obvious which company has sold your data.

Needs a password manager to keep track of all the email addresses though, if you use generally (I have several hundred of them).

Tbh, re security (and email spam!) about 2 years ago I looked into it, decided what I should do, and just implemented it. You get used to it šŸ™‚.

But generally good things to do. So I'm involved with a group of ~7000 people that lost ~Ā£10M in total because of a company who breached their contract and then went into administration. If you paid the money in the right way (I did!), 'easy' to get a refund (sorta). If you didn't pay in the right way, abandon hope ...

# fluid delta What personal encryption do you use?

For my files? Can't remember the details, but for storage and stuff went with Proton for having e2e encryption and HQ'd in a suitable country for privacy laws/international data sharing (Switzerland?).

For my logins/passwords/card details Nord. Enabled MFA whenever an option and use Authy. Use Nord to see if any of my stuff on the dark web periodically. Do updates regularly. That sorta stuff.

It's not 100%, but when I decided this stuff I figured was good enough for me 😁.

#

I appreciate I sound paranoid. But I just wanted to set up a system, then largely just do it without having to think any more about it. It's not even like I'm doing anything illegal, lol. I just don't wanna be the victim of fraud, spam and stuff.

Doesn't sound paranoid at all. After all, you wouldn't go swimming in a shark tank without swimming trunks

how many supporter badges are there lmao

cuz I got my third one for renewing the pass

amber canyon

Three! If there's more than three, I imagine they'd have to use Scientific notation to define how many need to be watched to get it (based on the number of ads I've watched, lol).

I got the first one for a few ads, the second and third were from me buying and renewing the pass respectively

I recommend Mullvad for VPN

#

because it's not a dubious company but run by nerds (I met them several times). ExpressVPN is run by Kape Technologies who also do Cyberghost and PIA, both of which are very dubious products

#

I wouldn't trust them with any of my data

fluid delta
#

I use Windscribe, I did use ExpressVPN at one point, but stopped bc of said dubious practices coming to light. Not sure I why I said what I did, still waking up I suppose. šŸ™‚

Mullvad is well reputed, yeah, and it has the right kind of details on torrentfreak's.. well, not a rating per se, more like a scorecard

Was mulling over how much of the game can be modified and still count as the same game (we're a long way from it feeling like a different game, obvs). But coincidentally a mate sent me this snip today, which I found hilarious.

It's not the most clear chart in that sense. Look more closely, you'll see the repeating pattern that shows that events are the same length. It's always Monday and Thursday.

gray yew
#

Hm. I'll take your word for it.

#

Okay, thinking about it now, the whole "starting at either 9pm or 3pm (if you happen to be me at least)" thing makes it make sense

fluid delta
#

Having events the same length was their stated intention when they last messed with the scheduling earlier this year. If I recall right.

amber canyon
#

Yeah. It was much more varied before Sep(?) last year.

I imagine the reason they aren't all exactly 3.5 days long is to try and get maximum coverage for their players across time zones? For me (in a 'central' timezone (UK) ) both finishing times are within 'sociable' hours but presumably they aren't the further you head towards the Americas West coast and the Eastern side of Asia.

#

(I'm ignoring Australasia, the Pacific nations and whatnot because y'know, everybody else seems to 😬)

#

More importantly than Cryptids ... ||šŸ¦¤šŸ‘»šŸ¦¤|| Is confirmed! Yay!

oh ok

alright, deep sea life done. Don't think I'll make top 10 now, unless 18h of offline production and the +500 science bonus for going to CL2 tomorrow will bump me into there, but I don't think so. Maybe.

at least this time the last node gives a significant boost

hmm 170 something

ah ok, I'm 150 something šŸ™‚

after finishing without leveling up or updating production, i am #14

yeah i see you are in CL2 now

ah.. no. CL4 actually. Heh. embarassed

oh hell

This event goes really quick, did CL1 and 2 yesterday

yeah i won't try hard this time. will see what 18h of productin + 500 science gets me tomorrow

ah okay, i thought you started today

fluid delta

(not sure why i said I started today.. my bad)

weak tulip
#

time for some aoe šŸ™‚

fluid delta
#

Probably mostly bc I am trying to figure out a weird computer problem

#

at the same time

weak tulip
#

weird how?

fluid delta
#

I'm in the process of setting up my backup hdd in a spare computer I have around. the hdd isn't connected atm, so, just sata ssd. ok, that works fine, so.. network test, since I just bought a cheap 2.5gbit NIC since it is an older mb, and my main has built-in 2.5 as well. Ok, now, the wierd part is: if i transfer files (to the ssd) i get the expected speed. If I open up an encrypted test drive on that same folder, I get speeds that are.. impossible. I think. Unless I am... idk. Anyway, I hashed the files to make sure they actually transferred. Hashes match.

you move files to the encrypted folder from where?

#

same drive?

is that on windows?

fluid delta
#

yes.. windows 10 pro on one, windows 11 iot enterprise ltsc 2024 on the other

#

(both debloated)

weak tulip
#

well, i know that the transfer speed numbers on windows are often not really realiable

fluid delta
#

hmm.. I did a few large files, but that's a very good point, I should use a timer. a very good point I hadn't considered. That might be the solution, thanks!

#

(though, fwiw, when comparing (unencrypted) 1 gbit vs 2.5 gbit, windows explorer showed the expected difference)

weak tulip
#

also if you moved the same file to the unencrypted part of the drive first, parts of it could be cached

fluid delta
#

I used new files each time (basically, eps I have of an anime from another ssd), so there wouldn't have been caching

weak tulip
#

well, as long as the files aren't corrupted I wouldn't worry about it too much

fluid delta
#

sure, but it's literally impossible if the numbers are right.

#

like, this isn't a 10gbit network connection here

weak tulip
#

you could ask wwelna. he is quite knowledgable with such stuff, though he doesn't use windows

fluid delta
#

I may, if I can't sort it out. I can probably sort it out though.. just takes going through the various options šŸ™‚

It was more than likely a combination of factors. It usually is when it comes to the extinction of a species.

I think you need to use the Save Manager for that. It’s in the Options. It should provide instructions.
