[warm lodge]

Hm, I could just claim art event while it should still be running for 10 hour or so.

[fluid delta]

Yep! You could!!

[warm lodge]

Bugged?

[fluid delta]

? … if you are still inside the Art event, then it will probably end at it’s scheduled time for you, unless the devs force a change.

[polar viper]

nothing strange to see here. everything normal

[gray tapir]

= 💀

[wicked python]

hell nah 💀

[unkempt flint]

this images you speak of, is it in the room with us

[steady dune]

11/12

[fluid delta]

Me too

[polar viper]

9/12

[unkempt flint]

yall are holy fast

7/12 still, only 15% boost so slowly

[fluid delta]

Yep. Makes a difference, for sure. But it’s past midnight where I am, I am sleepy, so I am happy it’s almost done for me

[polar viper]

9/12 is a big roadblock tho

[dry cairn]

I do feel like that one lasted forever.

[fluid delta]

Yep!!

Aaaaaaand DONE! I’m off to bed.

[polar viper]

fast af

[sullen hill]

What??? Tell me immediately why the event has already finished when it takes 9 hours to end
Reply immediately!

[polar viper]

bugged, disease one started too early and cancled the image one

[steady dune]

Wasted about 5m worth of progress

I may do Ch 2 or more if this exists until Thursday

[unkempt flint]

oh wow you weren't kidding when you said 9/12 is a slog

[sullen hill]

I don't understand

[polar viper]

devs did a little oopsie and started the next event before the image one ended regulary, so its bugged now.

instead of the image one we have the disease one now, but it still shows as image

[quasi ivy]

it will prob fix itself when the deceases event actually is suposed to start

[hallow hawk]

computer lunch going out of their way to break the disease event every time

now watch them make us play cats for the 99999999999th time because that'd be fun too

[polar viper]

[ember beacon]

Are we still able to finish the image event somehow? I started late to up my chances for the top 10...

[spare crane]

what are devs gonna do?

any annoucement or something?

[mellow carbon]

I expect they'll let it roll over to the next event.

[spare crane]

no rollback?

ppl spend darwinum to stay on top of the leaderboard and they got f over with this kinda

[mellow carbon]

Wow the 21 days idle technique generates a lot of knowledge/metabits. 1.36E24 metabits and 1.5E30 knowledge.

[lofty magnet]

What sucks more is that I work today and can't play the image one. So can't get the logits.
So weird that they did this

Because if they do a rollback its to.late for me. I hope for compensation but thats not going to happen

[spare crane]

This is the second time they mess up the plague event 😐

[lofty magnet]

Its really is a plague then.

I missed 19 logits. Haven't played for a year and try to farm them now so I can but aguments to speed up the isea production because thats super slow

[topaz vapor]

Wait, what? Why'd the vent end early?

[spare crane]

Devs messed up timers. dropping this event early cutting images

[topaz vapor]

Bugger. Got a crap rank cos I wasn't done

[spare crane]

so now you have bugged visual stuff and people that were competing in the image lost their chance to finish it or top the ranking

yes like a lot of us

[cold swallow]

Oh is that why I cant start the event

[spare crane]

which one?

[cold swallow]

Looks like viruses and bacteria or somthing

[topaz vapor]

What happens when you try?

[cold swallow]

I try to hit continue on the age gate thing but nothing happens

[topaz vapor]

Huh, same bug as happened last time this event happened

Launched fine for me today though

[cold swallow]

Well crap

[steady dune]

Some of us already did the virus
-# happened 4 hrs ago

But it will seems as an "unpredictable" bug

[spare crane]

people were writing that the timers are wrong days ago

[cold swallow]

So I guess I just miss this event?

[spare crane]

so it is not unpredictable

nonsense

[lofty magnet]

They should give us some darwinum and logits to compensate.
My timer for the image was correct last night then I went to bed

[spare crane]

imo they should rollback the plague as they did before and let people finish the event

"some darwinum" is the amount i spent on the event

[lofty magnet]

Problem is that is daytime in Europe and most players are at work and can't play anyways.
Luckily I work so I can be home like an hour before the event should have finished so maybe I can play if they rollback

[spare crane]

wtf

[lofty magnet]

A hack that risk ypur game right? You is not allowed to mess with time if im correct

[spare crane]

I guess leaderboards wont work for you then

because they have been resolved alreayd

[lofty magnet]

And thats why I dont think a rollback is happen. But compensation would be nice. Give every player atleast 10 darwinum and 10 logits.

[spare crane]

if i spent like 50 darwinum to reach top of the ladder and now the event was ended prematurely then with 10 darwinum they can shove it

[woven arch]

Aw man.... I was so ready to lock in for the final stretch of the Image Explore as well.

Rank 19 is fine, I guess.

[gray scroll]

So annoying was about to make a final push 😡 Will the disease event be longer to make up for it starting early or will the next one in effect start earlier than it should? I'm showing 3d 7h to end?

[polar viper]

We dont know yet

No reaction from devs so far

[lofty magnet]

Same here. I was planning to make the last push before work

[lofty magnet]

20 or 30 here. Buts the logits that hurt most this time because I need them

[nocturne schooner]

Is the desease stuck on continue ?

[spare crane]

We dont know, devs are silent

[nocturne schooner]

I can not go past clicking the continue warning for content may make you not happy.

[white egret]

devs are prob sleeping since theyre all in america

[white egret]

try going to a different sim or using a different menu

[nocturne schooner]

Mobile version

[white egret]

it could still work

[nocturne schooner]

Let you know

[white egret]

i think last time if you went to beyond or meso and then click it worked? im unsure

[nocturne schooner]

Was trying in main sim. Went to beyond sim and the click desease and it worked. Thank you

[white egret]

np

[chilly walrus]

today im planning to get mosasaurus

im on rank 40 im close to rank 41

[grizzled lance]

Aw, the event timer changed from 9 hours to 2 days :')

[true vigil]

Is outbreak event broken again? Lmao

[dull pecan]

Why what happened

[true vigil]

I mean like the art event ended early or whatever it was

[white egret]

its funny its been outbreak both times

[dull pecan]

I didn't play that event

[chilly walrus]

im one more rank away from mosasaurus

i am so exited to get it

[woven arch]

Just bought the Conceptual Converter and life is pretty awesome now.

[somber monolith]

One more time can't play

[woven arch]

Are you squeamish?

[somber monolith]

Yep

[woven arch]

Sad :(

When you manage to TIE your best score.... I'm washed.

[grizzled lance]

What the heck, yo. That is so fast.

[grizzled lance]

Ah, no. In the explore tag it still shows the art thing for another 4 hours. My bad.

[woven arch]

I'm going fast. 😌

[grizzled lance]

sanec

[dusky marten]

What's wrong with the event info

[grizzled lance]

Scheduling conflict

[dusky marten]

😦

[spare crane]

still no annoucement from devs

[plucky vortex]

when did the bug (outbreak event) started?

[lofty magnet]

I dont know but the first post here about it was almost 6 hours ago so around there is my bet.

[rain rain]

wasn't it reported couple of days ago?

[chilly walrus]

I GOT ITT

mosasaurus is very cool

😎

[gray tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/hlop-gif-16515392601479522588

[desert flax]

OOH NO you just got cheater marked

busted

mods, react an

[woven arch]

Is this the cheater mark?

[polar viper]

yeah one of the tells

others would be like 2500 days of infinity pass offer for example

or lvl 500

[autumn galleon]

My level 72 hasnt moved since update

[desert flax]

https://discord.com/channels/488478892873744385/1461469888810979452

he tried to hide it BAHAHA

mods, just don't give the guy roles

user id 650713595520352257

[rain rain]

non sus at all

but it's all silly, imo

[woven arch]

😭

[chilly walrus]

hows he cheating?

[desert flax]

too much entro/ideas it looks like

or maybe time warp

[chilly walrus]

ok

is a auto clicker cheating?

[polar viper]

Allowed

[chilly walrus]

is it allowed to be on one millasecond?

or should it be slower

[polar viper]

It doesnt register 1ms in my tests

[desert flax]

given an autoclicker can't actually click every ms

[polar viper]

5-10ms works

Kinda

[chilly walrus]

ok

[desert flax]

no autoclickers that I have used never register 1000cps

the main one I use (op auto clicker) only goes to 88cps

[white egret]

the game doesnt allow click between frames

you only get 1 "tap" input per frame

[desert flax]

if running at 60fps, that means the max speed is 60cps

[white egret]

so 60 is the max, (and being discordant with 60 will lead to missing)

[polar viper]

Ah ok

[white egret]

yeah, but if your autoclicker is say 61 times a second, youll miss a click every now and then

[polar viper]

I just tested via production

I lowered number till i saw no benefit

[chilly walrus]

btw where do i report glitches

[white egret]

the only way to click faster would be thru a direct connection with the game (so like a mod) but those are banned

[polar viper]

But i dont actually use it a lot

[white egret]

#1010249890414202880

[thin notch]

Why am i getting suggestion of C2S vid from 2020

[polar viper]

Not worth the hassle mostly

[desert flax]

gosh dang it I was too slow

[chilly walrus]

i found a bug where if you claim 2x then quickly tap it again i get the reward again

[desert flax]

I remember I saw a beyond rank 50 video

unless you mod the game you can't reach 50

[vagrant anvil]

does anyone got the supporter badge or smm

[unborn anchor]

yes

[hollow pelican]

it has 3 different versions

[unborn anchor]

I have all 3 I think

nvm I only have 2 😢

[polar viper]

I know an easy solution for this

[unborn anchor]

I know

ADSSS

[prime vale]

i've watched like 500 ads for the purple supporter badge idk

[hollow pelican]

the last one is me-thanks

[gloomy jacinth]

Hello, I'm also playing another idle game, now I remember why I use scientific notation

When you get numbers over E30000 and you need to compare with E2000 or anything else

So in fact are there really real units when you go really high with numbers, or did they just invent new ones ? 😅😸

[gray tapir]

yea

[lofty magnet]

Nothing from the devs yet, guess that means that the image event was a waste of darwinum and time. And lost logits etc. Fun or not. I won't touch the outbreak event because its seems so buggy.
Hopefully cheese start as planned because have never played it so im going to need start that as soon as its available

[polar viper]

9am in new york atm. i hope they are working now

[lofty magnet]

Its to late anyways because its only 1 hours and 50 minutes left so yeah. It's afternoon in Europe so here many won't even be able to catch up because of work

[true vigil]

you mean like quadrilion and that stuff?

its derived from latin

im pretty sure

tri-3 quad-4 quin-5 sex/hex-6 sept-7 oct-8 non-9 dec-10

[rain rain]

too bad one guy screwed that logic

[wheat horizon]

Any updates on the event fiasco? My games already trying to play the virus one but bugged

[rain rain]

wait, are you stuck at sensitive content?

[wheat horizon]

Yep

[rain rain]

if I had a nickle each time that event was bugged recently...

[wheat horizon]

Oh joy

[rain rain]

at this exact same spot

[wheat horizon]

Let’s go button opens it but not in front, if you hit it three times there’s three. Have to hit X which means you don’t want to go to event, but leaves the content warnings up

Clicking continue fails, as you’ve already hit X to say not going to event

‼️BINGO. ‼️Switch to Dino ver I got in there, pop up content warning appeared on top and worked

[thick void]

Did outbreaks come out sooner than normal for anyone else

Or am I just bugging

[wheat horizon]

Yep

[shy dust]

[wary glen]

Yup - and the timer says the outbreaks event will end Thursday around 5am ET - 12 hours early.

[lofty magnet]

That means cheese is also going to buggy which sucks because I have never played that one..

[woven arch]

same here

Anyway, I'm already at Extinction 25 of Prestige 1, feeling pretty good.

[white egret]

in game it seems fine?

out break lasts 2d 19hr, cheese starts 3d 7hr

[woven arch]

Hm.

[wary glen]

12 hours of the Abyssal Void Black Hole!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue...

[gloomy jacinth]

Yeah so can you tell me quickly what are prefixes for E30000, 30000 zeros

[true vigil]

you kinda use this most of the time

from wikipedia so should be accurate

once it loops you just add another illion to the end iirc

so like uh nonagintanovetillioniliion prolly?

although i could be wrong

[white egret]

you can also do the inverse and divide the scientific exponent by 3 then translate

[fluid delta]

There’s a Notation page on the Cells wiki. Use that for this game

[true vigil]

i mean yea

but thats not what this question was about i think

[fluid delta]

oh ok

[polar viper]

i see crap notation heresy!!!
burn it with fire. let scientific notation rise.
for the emperor!

i wonder when the devs finally notice, that they messed the events up

[swift heron]

but periodic table of elements would have a limit

only 118 elements

and it's not ever expanding like space and archeology

plus it would get boring very fast

not alot of people care about the periodic table

[spare crane]

I am completely sure they know already like come on

[silver oasis]

Hey, which mission unlocks this card? I have no available missions.

[woven arch]

Inter-dimensional portal? 😭

[woven arch]

Maybe you just haven't found it yet? Like, you have it available to be found in the galactic nursery but you just don't have it.

[hollow pelican]

Luck

100% luck

[woven arch]

Like how I'm at Ep. 19 but has only JUST gotten the Comets card. <_<

[silver oasis]

Strange

[woven arch]

And still missing these two.

[woven arch]

It's not strange. It's luck, like Ultra said.

[hollow pelican]

Ik someone that missed the series 1 epic trait card but at the beyond rank 29

[woven arch]

Yeah, that.

[true vigil]

I still dont have one of the rank 1 gold cards yea

[hollow pelican]

hmmp

the trick is to maximize the astronomy mission

or from galactic nursery

[woven arch]

Yeah, doing this.

[polar viper]

that would imply incompetence. i only imply hangover late comming to work

[amber canyon]

Well, my Disease event got.down to time zero, then started counting up.

[gray yew]

I think something buggy’s going on with the disease event, what with that and the “staring a bit early” thing.

[swift heron]

wait that does make sense

if that card released at ep 14-16 and he didnt get it then he most likely wont

since all the new stars give series 2 cards

[hollow pelican]

he never completed an astronomy mission

[rain rain]

lowest one is still bugged? Lol

[hollow pelican]

you can still access the series 1 star

[swift heron]

also why is series 2 dwarf star 2 still bugged

it takes longer than the first one

[amber oracle]

Ends in -10 seconds

[amber canyon]

I was hoping it'd kick us out and restart it (or move on to cheese).

[amber canyon]

It's supposed to take longer.

[swift heron]

why

[amber canyon]

Because - just like irl - you do the quick and easy stuff first, then get to the harder and longer tasks.

[rain rain]

weren't class one the other way aroun?

like 18->15->12

[swift heron]

but series 1 was the opposite

[rain rain]

so class 2 is 24->36

Logic checks out

also bar is still bugged visually, for like a year

[amber canyon]

No idea. I've had ||Auriga|| for ages.

But imo is similar to the 'diminishing returns' from augments, badge event boost, upgrades and reality engine and primary nodes. Later game stuff is more expensive / takes longer.

[fluid delta]

You did notice that there's only 29 (30 max) Beyond and 50 Meso, right? There's at least 118 elements. So it's zero problem.

[rain rain]

550 meso, hehehehe

[swift heron]

there is NO WAY they're going to make it so you only unlock 1 singular element per "reset"

[fluid delta]

well, yes, not counting Prestige there

[rain rain]

yeah, I know. Couldn't resist

[fluid delta]

Total speculation. At this point it's something that doesn't exist in game (yet)

[rain rain]

imo, they have logic - you unlock better and faster stuff

[amber canyon]

Better maybe. But not faster. Sometimes more is better enough. Imo anyway.

[lofty magnet]

Without seeing the whole conversation I think one thing that could do if they went with element is also combining said elements. Like focus on some and what they create (like H2O) and then after a reset its expanded into next set of element and what they combine and also use the previous elements

[fluid delta]

Yep, there are lots of possibilities. The conversation isn't much, just a thought of what a new "branch" (like Meso and Beyond and Events are branches), for when Beyond is done.

[amber canyon]

I like colonising space as a future sim. That'd tie in with the Devs hiding that primary sim branch from us. Maybe.

[amber oracle]

up to 803 badges now, think i should get 1k badges really soon

[lofty magnet]

I guessed that. Because after beyond they must do something like beyond and meso. And elements is a logic step I agree. How everything in prime sim, beyond and meso is built after. And do something with elements and combining them could really be expansive and take a while. Start small and when its done the building blocks is there so to speak.

[amber oracle]

well 'soon' in about half a year or something

[hollow pelican]

I've been thinking about the new simulation about that

[amber canyon]

Did you miss the badges from the Art event that finished early?

[lofty magnet]

Problem there is that game is built on mostly known things. Both Beyond and Meso is things that are existing. That would be more speculation and yeah. I dont know if thats the right direction

[amber oracle]

potentially maybe?

i dont know

but i think ive had an art event missed from before

i think

dont quote me on that

[amber canyon]

Well, the top left of primary is a bit into the future. I think that could be moved to it's own sim. Imo.

[rain rain]

missed last badge, now I don't have perfect /3 badges, lol

[lofty magnet]

I said mostly because of that. And I think thats why they won't move further. But I dont know. I think periodic table and combining them would be more fun and tie better into the existing game and both beyond and meso.

[amber canyon]

There was an Art event that was just supposed to finish 30 mins ago. It finished early (about 8 hours ago), cos disease started early.

[lofty magnet]

Me too. And missed 19 logits so are a bit bummed.

[amber oracle]

i did claim the badges from that event but i think i didnt play one of the art events before

cuz ive been behind 3 badges on art event for quite some time

[lofty galleon]

I am not dead

Actually I am

[amber canyon]

Maybe the periodic table as an event? And chemistry as a sim? Chemistry is quite a big topic, 😁.

[lofty magnet]

Yeah, thats what I said partly. Combining elements is chemistry but chemistry needs elements so we need the periodic table there

[amber oracle]

but is okey cuz now im at the point where the lb just have a buncha people with extra badges from beta events

[fluid delta]

I mean, maybe, but the Periodic Table has so much more potential as a main branch.

[lofty magnet]

Another branch, sim or what you want to call it could be history. Take the primary branch but expand it and do a bit more deep dive in it. Maybe do like a map that slowly expanding with cities and nations.

[amber oracle]

so i dunno ill get 1k badges and just stop going as often for top 10 on events

[amber canyon]

You're one of my benchmark players for 'how many real badges can you have' 😁

[amber oracle]

cuz im at the point where i dont need more black holes n stuff

[amber oracle]

think the badge cap should be 809

actually no, is probably 812

if you did philosophy event when badge stacks were just added, did the bugged outbreak event and didnt miss the one art event

you should be at 812

but excluding weird badges its 806 badges

[lofty magnet]

Yeah. And do periodic table and chemistry as a branch would tie everything together. Create the building blocks to why we exist today and how we as humans utilising the diffrent elements and the diffrent combinations of said elements.

[amber canyon]

809 I thought (completed events). 812 if I count the last disease event weirdness.

[fluid delta]

Chemistry as a Event could be fun..

[amber oracle]

then prob 809

im at 803 so yuh

[lofty magnet]

Yeah but also periodical table needs chemistry if its main branch

[amber oracle]

(plz add a hidden achievement for 1k badges)

[fluid delta]

There's various ways they could do it. We'll see if they even do anything like this.. in 2027! 🙂

[lofty magnet]

Yeah. Beyond is not over yet. I dont know how many episodes they plan to do and if they plan to do as meso and have that stupid prestige in there. Im only on two and try after all this year to finally pick it up and plow through it to get all the dinos achievements

Because I guess I need to hit prestige 10 to even have a chance to get all the achievements because of costs and production.

[fluid delta]

Yeah, idk about achievements there (I forget), but Arch Dux did show a screenshot yesterday (he's in Beta) that suggests that they'll re-include Meso Prestige into the Reality Engine node(s) again, with the next update.. so it might become sorta-kinda mandatory again

[inner maple]

I think they will end at 30, but I’m not 100% sure.

[lofty magnet]

Hopefully no prestige in beyond. Or do it in another way that makes things less repetitive. Maybe do so prestige is tied into how much you can level up each planet.

[amber oracle]

im pretty sure even with the changes badge boosts still do more than maxing MV out

once you get to a high enough badge amount

[rain rain]

MV is way faster, tho

[amber oracle]

probably not

[lofty magnet]

Have seen 31 or 32 here and there. But we will see. Hopefully they drop beyond 30 this year and finish that up. Or atleast make a statement of how many more episodes its going to be and what there plan is after. It's prestige apart of it is not.

[fluid delta]

Meso Prestige was a 550x multiplier. You'd need 550 badges to match that.... for the same application of those multipliers on the nodes, which idr if that is even the case

[lofty magnet]

I guess also that because of how much easier its to hit the achievements for each planet is compared to meso. You hit them while you are playing each episode

[amber oracle]

keep in mind badges also give you knowledge/metabit multipliers as well

for some reason

[fluid delta]

I think 31, 32 was older beta or alpha, I'm pretty sure that they are stopping at 30, then doing Prestige. Ofc plans can change

[amber oracle]

i guess more idea and entropy production and all the logit locked upgrades just isnt enough

[fluid delta]

Probably to help encourage people to keep doing them, especially over the long term

[rain rain]

logits are really badly thought out, imo

[amber oracle]

literally everyone, myself included rn

[lofty magnet]

The big question is prestige or not. Because its going to be something new there for it to work. Meso was building on prestige for achievements, beyond is built diffrent

[amber canyon]

The Devs have previously said it will end at E30, and they're planning prestige(s). They asked for ideas in suggestions for how to do prestige, and said they wanted to avoid the meso situation.

Having said that, the recent announcement makes me wonder if there might be Beyond E31-32 (but not the really old one that people bring up in beta chat).

[amber oracle]

im just sitting here doing the events just for more badge boost but is getting to the point where diminishing returns are kicking in

cuz even if i do another 100 events im only gonna get like a 30% increase with RE upgrades

[lofty magnet]

Yeah. I think as I said a way to prestige is tied to planets and max level on those. Or perhaps do a list once again but harder thresholds.

[fluid delta]

yes.. well.. but are you going to actually stop? I said that to myself at 100 badges and.. I didn't. lol

[amber oracle]

well no but like, what else are we gonna do

[fluid delta]

exactly!!

[amber canyon]

I'm on the 200-240 notional boost, and yeah the diminishing returns kicking in is a turn off.

[amber oracle]

is not like we have much to do on any of the sims anyway

[fluid delta]

Agreed. I am quite tired of events (except when there is a new one).. but... I do them anyway, mostly bc of me wanting to keep my RL lead, lol.

[amber oracle]

you just get to the point where you need every percentage increase if you wanna get all the RE upgrades

im doing empty sim strat for this reset, and i think i should get all the knowledge upgrades on this reset

[fluid delta]

Probably not all of them? Do you have Graviton Expansion already?

[lofty magnet]

What I hate is that logits are tied to them so grind to get more is hard. I also reacted yesterday when I realised that you get things for meso earlier than beyond even if beyond is the thing almost anyone is focusing on. Get the currency there is a much higher priority than currency to meso..

[amber canyon]

... I'm.not that keen on chasing RE nodes. They're not that interesting to me.

I like(d) the Sims, but the RE nodes ... meh ...

[fluid delta]

Fair.. though I have way more logits than I'll ever need.

[amber oracle]

i did get graviton expansion, but im missing the idea speed booster and idea booster ones

maxing those 2 out

dunno how much knowledge i can get this reset but i think i can get speed booster done

[fluid delta]

I only have Idea Booster IX left, on that side of the RE tree

[lofty magnet]

As I said many times by now. Haven't played for atleast a year but picked up the game again. And quickly realised that my primary sim is heavily to the life side rather than idea so need the logits to speed that up.
Haven't played main sim for years. Have focused on beyond and when a new event has dropped

[amber oracle]

i see

and then for entropy yea...

dont think we maxing that anytime soon

[fluid delta]

So I'm not sure you will fill it out this run. Though maybe. ... As to Entropy, yeah, we will have to wait for the next update (Mollusks) to potentially do that.

[amber oracle]

i still have another 2 weeks of wait time for the time crystals

then ill see how much i can get

[amber canyon]

Oh! Btw I nearly (but didn't quite) managed to go from not being able to afford ||Quark Expansion|| to having ||Graviton Expansion|| in one empty sim run ...

I got ~3.5e19 the run before, and 1.1e29 this last run.

[lofty magnet]

The game is so diffrent for the first time I played. The RE nodes is not my thing but to able to play I need to dip in there and that is confusing.

[fluid delta]

(With idea, increment 80/100 of IB IX is 630.97 EE, where GE was only 50. So, yeah.

[fluid delta]

Nice!!

[amber oracle]

oh jeez that would be what, e31 knowledge or something

[fluid delta]

Yeah, Reality Engine got totally redone a few months ago from where it had been for years. Big change for everyone

[amber canyon]

I think it could be done if you lined yourself up properly for QE...

[lofty magnet]

Yeah and thats was then I picked it up again. And didn't get any explanation because the game thought I knew the re nodes but have never ever touched them really
And thats showing because my idea production is so slow but I get more knowledge than metabits so something is really messed up in there

[modest nymph]

Havent played in years, kind of confused with the new features n stuff

[fluid delta]

Maybe. I might do a trial buy once my current run ends, then revert the save if I decide it's not worth it.

[amber oracle]

we reset or not depening on when mollusks come out

sounds like a reasonable idea

[fluid delta]

Hmm, not sure what to say there, I don't see that imbalance.

[fluid delta]

I suspect that you and others will have caught up to me, probably finished all idea nodes, by the time Mollusks arrives in a few weeks?

[amber canyon]

You might find the dev posts about the Reality Reboot useful? Quite a few, but will give you an idea.

#📢-announcements message

[amber oracle]

with this reset maybe?

[lofty magnet]

This is my imbalance. Somethings is not right but yeah.

[amber oracle]

cuz if mollusks come out next month i dont think i can get a full reset in, cuz i want to have the time crystals maxed out for that release

and just stack up on a lotta metabits

[amber canyon]

Use time slipping ... ?

[fluid delta]

.. you might want to do 4x ad boost instead of 2x. .. but yeah, idk, depends on the nodes you have and ofc if you have gotten through all of Primary or not. But mostly the nodes.

[fluid delta]

possibly!

[amber oracle]

i think theres just more knowledge multipliers than metabit ones

so even with a lower production your just getting more

[lofty magnet]

The 2x was today's reward. I need to reach 700 HHH for thermometer. That's going to take months in this pace.
Have unlocked almost everything in primary sim expect newer stuff and logits stuff

[lofty magnet]

Have caused the suggested RE nodes. Because in there I dont understand anything. I just want to have a complete sim tree lol.

[fossil lily]

guys, tell me, in the channel share the prestige, the rules say that you need to attach progress to the discord, but I don't have such a button in the save manager, what should I do?

[fluid delta]

Ah ok. You do know that you can make 4x rate of progress if you do do the ad boost, right? .. if you are on PC, you will need to move the save to a mobile device to grab the boosts before moving it back to PC.. a hassle, I agree.

[woven arch]

??? Even without the bug that happened, wasn't this originally supposed to end an hour ago.

[fluid delta]

.. it didn't for you? Interesting.

[lofty magnet]

I play on mobile yeah, use ads in events and stuff. It's a hazzle to watch many ads because they are so long.

[woven arch]

No, it ended for me, but I can still see it on the list.

[amber oracle]

had to check but yes my knowledge multiplier is way higher than metabit

[woven arch]

Also pointing out it has the Outbreak badges.

[fluid delta]

Ah ok.. I just set my ipad aside, let it do it's ad thing while I do something else on my computer. Top the time up, then pay attention to it again! Without that boost, your progress will be 4x slower. Up to you though!

[amber canyon]

Screenshots. That show progress against the roles. Lemme grab the roles. One sec (the metabits ones are on hold)

[lofty magnet]

I guess molusk is going to balance that up

[inner maple]

Interesting. I thought 30 would be the observable universe, is it possible that multiverses will be addressed?

[lament temple]

How do I get progression roles?

• The way roles used to work in the Cells Discord server is through a fancy feature called “Linked Roles.” An update a few months ago broke the linked roles system, and because linked roles have been broken for so long, the moderators have decided to revert to the old method of assigning game progression roles: manually. Post screenshots of your progress in #🏆-share-your-prestige, and you might get some snazzy roles if your progress meets certain requirements.
  -# In case you want to look at the requirements, please click on the server's top bar, then select 'Linked Roles'. You can view the requirements of each role there.

Frequently Asked Questions • Requested by Kf

[amber oracle]

probably

[fluid delta]

Doubt it. Multiverses are pure fiction.

[amber oracle]

metabit multiplier is at 6M while knowledge is at 323M

[fluid delta]

That's my understanding, as far as RE nodes go. It might even go further, so that we'll see a back and forth kinda thing with updates

[amber oracle]

still nowhere close to the cap cuz i gotta wait for 2 more weeks

[amber canyon]

Mine finished.

[lofty magnet]

I dont think its really going to help. Because of how much slower that is compared to entropy production. I think I need to let the time tick on and see what I can do after the next reset

[woven arch]

Yeah it ended for all of us. I'm just curious why it says it's still ongoing.

[fossil lily]

So I just have to wait until some important dude looks at it and confirms it?

[amber oracle]

yea once we get the industrial revolution stuff knowledge will just be higher than metabit

[fluid delta]

That's up to you. That wasn't my experience, though.

[lofty magnet]

I dont have a clue. But over on reddit and sometimes in here I have seen 31 and 32 been mention recently.

[lofty magnet]

I think your RE nodes are much more balanced. You know that stuff and can calculate. I get panic in there and chase the recommend ones and hope its going to help.

[tall mirage]

Yooo u reached 71

[amber oracle]

ima be honest i just buy whatever has the highest multiplier number

[amber canyon]

Ages ago there was an alpha (early test) of an E31, covering ||big bang and stuff||. Apparently everybody hated it, and the Devs said they wouldn't do it.

[lofty magnet]

Hopefully its the recommend ones lol

[amber oracle]

so beyond 30 will be the last episode then?

[fluid delta]

Heh, fair enough. I don't so much calculate it as eyeball it, based on my sense of how games work and the numbers at hand. I'm not great at math. But others here are way more rigorous than I am and do the math.. even charts!

[lofty magnet]

But one thing thats slightly funny and I dont how I manged that but I have the achievement for 1000 Martian Cities but not for 1000 Martian factory and after the reset that is going to be almost impossible to reach..

[woven arch]

I eyeball it as well unless it's a game I'm SUPER invested in, or if possible, look up that someone else has made the calculations for me. 😌

[tall mirage]

anything imp happened in chat today? I don't got strength to scroll through 12+ hrs worth of messages

[amber oracle]

surely we will be able to get 1000 amphibians with mollusks right

[lofty magnet]

Yeah. I get to confused and leaves fast. And thats showing in how weird my game is

[amber oracle]

art event ended earlier than expected

thats about it

[fluid delta]

No, not really. Nothing new.

[amber oracle]

and a buncha people missed out on badges and top placements cuz of it

[amber canyon]

August last year, the Devs said E30 was going to be the last one.

But then recently, this was in the announcements.

Wouldn't be surprised if the add a few extra Beyond episodes to give them a bit of breathing space to work on whatever will be after it.

[amber oracle]

but other than that, not much

[lofty magnet]

I need something to get 1000 factories lol. How on earth did I get 1000 cities before factories. I have the birds to a 1000. So I hope mollusks get 1000 amphibians yeah.

[tall mirage]

Ah that yea, couldn't take adv to get extra badges RIP

[fluid delta]

Primary has gotten messed with, even after the revamp. Probably it's that.

[amber oracle]

is okey we didnt get extra badges in the first place

[amber canyon]

If you played before the Reality Reboot, you got those for having 500.

[fluid delta]

Yeah, no extra badges this time. sadface

[lofty magnet]

I think thats one of the things I saw yeah. It seems that 30 is not the end after all.

[tall mirage]

Ig mollusk really gotta wait till mid-Feb then

[amber oracle]

talking about badges and events, are we getting new events anytime soon

[lofty magnet]

Yeah something is it.

[fluid delta]

Maybe. Or maybe sooner? Idk. They haven't said. But mid-Feb seems likely.

[amber oracle]

cuz it seems all the update work is focused on finishing beyond and expanding main sim

[tall mirage]

True, I think they can end it with E31
Iirc raynesu, the main dev working on Beyond mentioned smth along the lines of Prestige is alr in works

[tall mirage]

oh lol

[lofty magnet]

Maybe. Have played many many years. Atleast 7 if not more but haven't played main sim for years, just beyond. The reset brought me back

[tall mirage]

yea sooner than monthly updates will be detrimental for them in the future

[amber canyon]

Wdym? We have a new one up next? 😬

[amber oracle]

oh boi

[amber oracle]

oh right the 8th event rerun

how can i forget

the new event

[tall mirage]

But prestige is nothing concrete yet, it's still in design phase, so gonna take a while

[amber oracle]

i see

[fluid delta]

Probably a post-holiday hangover.

[amber oracle]

welp time to use all those black holes for absolutely nothing

and diamond geodes

and logits

[tall mirage]

Nahh, save for E30

[amber oracle]

i guess, got 90 black holes so i think im good for e30

[amber canyon]

Personally I think the beta testing atm is stuff they've already done a while ago now and they're actually working on other stuff in the background.

[fluid delta]

heh. I kinda stopped with 50. Down to 40 (used 10 on E29). I'm good!

[tall mirage]

Oh lmfaoo yea true, but still better to save imo
Can get the new silver card in E30 with those BH

[amber oracle]

but beyond and mv are weird now

[tall mirage]

imagine u instantly get the silver to like lvl 5 lol

[amber oracle]

you get a couple top 10 placements

and you just take off

[amber oracle]

did that for this beyond episode, got the silver to lvl 4 and quite literally finished the whole episode in like 6 hours

[tall mirage]

btw what lvl are ur gold cards rn?

[amber oracle]

and most of that time was waiting on the telescope missions to finish

[amber canyon]

😭 with a bugged out Beyond E29 here ...

[amber oracle]

think its 4-4-5 i think? ill check rq

[tall mirage]

makes sense, only thing that prolly took time is completing the last 2 astronomy missions, but the 19 missions were long over by then

[amber oracle]

YEP

[tall mirage]

they want you to let messier stay relevant for longer

[lofty magnet]

I haven't even reach four mission in the new beyond. That shows the power of playing without stopping I guess. To not touched events for a year or two really slowed me down

[thick void]

I don’t know

[tall mirage]

I wonder if the E29 bug will fix if u switch to steam and download latest crossplatform save from there

[amber oracle]

yea no the free black holes from events is huge

[woven arch]

Ah, it's going up.

[lofty magnet]

Hopefully not because of how buggy they seems ro be at the moment

[amber canyon]

Only got to get 4 more trait levels before Local Void takes over ...

[amber oracle]

ykonw what fair point

[tall mirage]

when u get great attractor then everything else becomes irrelevant

[lofty magnet]

Fix the before new ones should be a priority.

[amber oracle]

nvm its 4-4-4

[woven arch]

Sounds like the Great Attractor is rather busted.

[amber canyon]

I found a potential fix - but hoping for an answer before I do it for real. Don't want to corrupt my whole file ... https://discord.com/channels/488478892873744385/1464520572053618688

[fluid delta]

Nah. That's usual that the last node is the one to go for, and makes previous ones irrelevant. B28 was unusual in that it didn't.

[amber canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/i-did-it-my-way-frank-sinatra-my-way-song-did-it-in-my-own-way-did-what-i-want-gif-18740724

[lofty magnet]

I have reached 12 I saw now but have waited for the Laniakea rank for days so its slow. But i let it takes it time

[tall mirage]

Okay, there's no corruption in file I can confirm

Coz I did the switch between 43_04 on steam and 42_68 on android

[amber canyon]

Wha? In my file?

[tall mirage]

And on 42_68 I noticed the same issue as yours

[amber canyon]

I still don't have steam ...

[tall mirage]

But when it came back to 43_04, everything was fixed

[tall mirage]

Yea, but my point is resolving the bug and restoring it back to 43_04 has no hidden dangers

Like it did the switch like 5-6 times b/w 43_04 and 42_68

[amber canyon]

Anyway, no rush to fix it. Hopefully I'll get the A-okay and wil do it then.

[tall mirage]

yea true Ig

I discovered a bug b/w switching 43_04 and 42_68

[amber canyon]

Not worth risking potential hidden corruption imo. Imagine losing my file completely in 6 months or whatever cos of this bug, lol.

[tall mirage]

It basically gives u 25 DW infinitely

[amber canyon]

I think that's one of the bugs people ||don't mention out loud|| 👀.

[tall mirage]

Also my Great attractor and local void costs were E1 lower

[fluid delta]

Nice to see another player of the best game ever! points to your icon .. as it turns out, Art ended prematurely if you weren't in it already, but Infection started 12 hours early and seems like it'll be running until the usual time on Thursday.

[woven arch]

Just switched to scientific notation after using normal notation since I started playing. 🥲 Feels weird.

[tall mirage]

Oh? I didn't know it was widely known

[amber oracle]

at this point everytime theres a new update, alpha or beta update theres always a way to get DW

[tall mirage]

But it only happens if u switch versions tho

[amber canyon]

🎆🎇🎆Welcome to being a grown up!

[tall mirage]

Lmaooo

[fluid delta]

You might find Custom better for you. It's the same as Normal up to Trillions.. past that it uses an alphabetic sequence instead. Easy.

[tall mirage]

Wait like a couple of days, it will seem normal

[tall mirage]

Bro calling him over to the Dark Side

[lofty magnet]

Like me, I find that the most intuitive.

[woven arch]

Seeing custom notation in people's screenshots scares me.

[fluid delta]

Dark side has cookies. 😄

[woven arch]

Will do. 😌

[tall mirage]

[fluid delta]

lol why?

[woven arch]

I don't know....

[amber canyon]

People occasionally pop in and talk about 'OP DW bugs' and don't give details.

It's hard to know what they mean 🤷.

[amber oracle]

watch someone find one for badges too

[tall mirage]

🙏 Only issue with custom down the line is imagine u are earning AAAAA/s

[amber canyon]

Done.

[woven arch]

Screams per second.

[fluid delta]

Eh, not a big deal.

[tall mirage]

I mean I can elaborate in detail what happaned

[tall mirage]

True

[amber oracle]

im getting AAAA knowledge

[amber canyon]

S'okay. I have enough DW.

[lofty magnet]

Custome is underrated. It's the easiest to understand

[tall mirage]

nah too clunky for me

[amber oracle]

i do have enough DW as well

and 'enough' logits

[tall mirage]

I hope u mean idea lol

[amber canyon]

I'm close to 10k logits. Def have enough.

[woven arch]

Are you Swedish?

[tall mirage]

Yea, not asking to abuse, just curious why it happens

[amber oracle]

yes lmao

[amber oracle]

im closing in on 20k logits

like what am i supposed to do

[lofty magnet]

Yeah, how did you know that lol

[woven arch]

Just asking because of your name.

😌

[fluid delta]

Even AAAA idea is crazy.. that said, I haven't finished my current empty sim run yet. I will in a few days and then I'll see.

[amber canyon]

I think it's basically the stuff that's stored in app / in game files that doesn't port across properly.

[tall mirage]

Ummm AAAA idea to scientific is?

[lofty magnet]

Yeah, thats fair. Funny that most people will never understand my username. Most people choose a more English name but not me.

[woven arch]

That's pretty neat of you.

[azure abyss]

I guess i will earn nothing and like it.

[amber oracle]

i was joking im pretty sure AAAA idea is way too much

for our current production

[amber canyon]

Use the event badge glitch to get more ofc!

(Actually don't know if it gets you logits as well as badges).

[tall mirage]

Yea version switching causes resets

[lofty magnet]

Have used it for years on many sites so its me. I can't imagine to have a more English name now because of that lol

[tall mirage]

Yea but ind rev 2 around the corner so let's see

[fluid delta]

oh ok that makes way more sense then, lol. I just don't see AAAA happening until maybe Ind. Rev. update

[amber canyon]

Tescoo probably knows exactly how. I'm happy just waving in the general direction of what I think happens 😁.

[woven arch]

It's nice to have an identity you like to go by. 😌 But honestly, I can go by other identities as well sometimes without problem.

[tall mirage]

I alr asked, he's not 100% sure

[lofty magnet]

Have started with it but it feels weird.

[woven arch]

Funky.

Leveling up is torture, it taunts me.

[tall mirage]

inf lvl up

[amber oracle]

At least your getting some levels

[tall mirage]

gets wayy worse after 70 keep in mind

Like 10x worse

[amber canyon]

That blue bar ...

[amber oracle]

I wont see a new level until mollusk

[tall mirage]

atleast I can reach 73

before mollusk

[amber canyon]

By porting your file to a previous cells version?

[woven arch]

🥲

[tall mirage]

Nah, finishing a 2nd empty sim before mollusk

[fluid delta]

sits smug at 74

[woven arch]

I mean, I will admit it could be much worse. I still level up in a day or less-ish. But I'm impatient always.

[tall mirage]

Dw, got plenty of time till then

[tall mirage]

Day lmfaooo

talk about WEEKS

[woven arch]

No thanks. 😌

I'll get to that when I get there...

[inner maple]

I’m at 71 and it’s taking me forever to level up. It also takes forever to reach a certain amount of ideabits…🥲

I usually reboot once the ideabits hit 1 septillion

[woven arch]

Ouchie.

[amber canyon]

Sounds like you're not doing Empty Sim or Spam-Rebooting?

[woven arch]

Oh huh, I only just realized there's no longer androids and the stuff on the right side past Singularity in the Primary Sim anymore. (I came back to the game 1-2 days ago.)

[last stratus]

Hello, I'm playing a game on my phone. How do I back up my progress? I clicked on the account linking section in the game. They redirected me to a browser, saying I had successfully logged in. But when I returned to the game, my progress wasn't saved, and the login link was showing as "not logged in." What should I do?

[amber canyon]

Taken out cos the Devs wanted to rework them to better align with the story/lore apparently.

[woven arch]

Interestingggg. 💭

[tall mirage]

Yea defo coming back in futue updates

[woven arch]

I hope so.

[tall mirage]

So you know we will reach 1e50, then 1e60 and so on.... metabit/knowledge 1 day

[woven arch]

Oh lordie.

[amber canyon]

I'd recommend using Crossplatform Saves. There's a pinned comment from The Quick Fox about it.

[woven arch]

I'm currently only at E17 but it hasn't been a day yet, so I dunno how much it'll go up by tomorrow, if anything.

[last stratus]

I used Crossplatform Saves. After I clicked "sign in with Google," they kicked me out, showing that the link was successful, but when I tried to go back, it wouldn't work.

[amber canyon]

Hmm. On mine the Google Play Backup is a separate thing to Cross-platform saves.

I created a cells account login/password, rather than signing in with Google though.

[fluid delta]

Yeah, creating and using a Cells login/password is the way to go. Anything else can mean problems, we've seen people mention that especially in the context of google play

I regularly go back and forth between Steam on PC and iPadOS this way

[amber canyon]

I also don't like letting Google control any of my non-Google accounts 😬.

[last stratus]

I've just returned to the game. I played it in 2023 and saved my progress using Google Play. Is there any way to get it back? Because I reached the dinosaur stage.

[fluid delta]

... speaking of

[amber canyon]

The best bet for recovering Google Play Backups is to leave it for 10-15 mins and hope that Google works out you want it. And has kept it since then.

[fluid delta]

for what it's worth, the game has changed a lot since you last played.. mostly a few months ago with a big revamp. You could choose to start over

[amber canyon]

But a lot of people find that the Google Play Backups don't ever come through.

[tall mirage]

I found it weird that I can't sign in through google on iOS lol for c2s

[amber canyon]

Is that weird? Haven't used an Apple for over a decade. I thought they were very protective about locking you in to their ecosystem.

[tall mirage]

I mean it's been a couple years since I used too, but I assumed google sign-in would atleast be allowed for cross platform

[inner maple]

No, I try to get enough ideabits and metabits to upgrade the sim

[wary glen]

This keeps getting weirder - split screen of my beta and alpha games. Same event, different ending times, and it's alpha that's correct. (Beta ends 12 hours early.)

[tall mirage]

my prod version shows 3d 4h

[fluid delta]

Mine too

[tall mirage]

imagine if someone changed the Timezone for event in Beta by mistake

[amber canyon]

Hmm. Didn't think to check my alpha app. Although iirc I came to the conclusion that the android alpha app was likely using 'fake' divs. Separate to the main app players.

[last stratus]

I'm playing on my laptop. How can I zoom in and out of the screen to get a better view?

[fluid delta]

scroll wheel on your mouse (or equivalent)

[amber canyon]

In the browser? Or Steam?

Not that I know the answer to either.

Annoys me that zooming is limited in the android app though. I can never see the full trees ...

[tardy stump]

How do I revert to the regular numbers?

[amber canyon]

3 bars menu at top right. Click on Scientific until you get to the one you want.

[tardy stump]

Okay thanks bro

[tall mirage]

E+9 looks so weird even tho it's correct lol

[wary glen]

Yup, the divisions are different, but alpha has always run the same event at the same times. Ppl w/ prod version were asking last night why the images event ended early, so I know the weird time-shift happened there also. But now it looks like beta is the only one that's off. Or maybe it's correct, and everything else is wrong. Who knows???

[amber canyon]

Well, some news came through. Let's see what happens when I restart the game...

[spare crane]

they fixed the time to match the cheese event. They completely ignored the fact that they cut the Images even short

Laziest solution on the planet

[amber canyon]

Probably the best option at this point.

[wary glen]

But we got 10 darwinium! Black holes on me!

[elfin storm]

Hi

[tall mirage]

Hello

[crimson tangle]

Hey guys, genuine question, i started playing today and was wondering, will the game continue to be this frenetic? Because i wanted to leave something playing while im at work

But so far i didnt have the time to just leave and let things farm

Thank god today i have free time now, because otherwise i would still be stuck at tutorial

[grizzled lance]

I wanna say it gets slower eventually, but i couldn't tell you quite when.

[crimson tangle]

Im at asteroid 9, primary 10 and just unlocked the space thing

But ig if it does slow down eventually then thats good enough

I play for 10 minutes on each world and when i think im done i have more stuff to in the another world and it kept looping for a few hours

[lofty magnet]

Darwinum and no logits sucks for the missing event.

[rain rain]

I wish we could trade logits for stuff

[fluid delta]

I haven’t seen DW or Logits from the mistake. I haven’t closed and reopened my Cells game since this morning though.

[lofty magnet]

The perks of playing on tablet i guess. I always close it because i use the tablet for other stuff

[fluid delta]

I play on tablet when I’m not doing an empty sim run, or when it’s not within the 1st week of a new content drop (since it comes to Steam first). iPad/tablet is otherwise peak Cells experience, I feel

[woven arch]

What is an empty sim run?

[lofty magnet]

Yeah. Never played on steam but I think the perk of ads make tablet/mobile so much better.

[wintry night]

How much logits does the scallop cost on beta

[fluid delta]

the nice thing is, you can easily hop back and forth

[fluid delta]

ask in #💬-beta-chat

[lofty magnet]

Have tried between mobile and tablet once but they didn't sync correctly so gave up.

[polar viper]

ads 🤮

[fluid delta]

it’s a manual process, you upload and download a save from cells servers. there is no syncing involved.

[lofty magnet]

I hate them but do able to see a couple of ads to speed up the sim or double darwinum is good. I hate ads, but yeah.

[fluid delta]

You start a run in primary, no generators. You wait 21 game days while your time-related nodes in Reality Engine max out, then you buy everything in Primary, that gives you maximum benefit.

[lofty magnet]

I dont remembered what I did, I only remembered that the save didn't transfer correctly so never done that again

[polar viper]

@fluid delta so your call was wrong. what do i get from you now for being stuck nearly 4 days in an event instead of joining late like usual?
1 month IP?

[fluid delta]

I hate ads too

[woven arch]

Game days?

[fluid delta]

the time nodes run faster when you are sitting in Meso/Beyond/Events

[polar viper]

(which is probably a bug tho)

[fluid delta]

how are you stuck in an event? what?

Yes, I’m sure it’s a bug

[woven arch]

Huh, that's interesting. But how much is 21 game days in IRL time?

[polar viper]

i joined early and now i have to fight 3-4 days for my ranking

usually i join 1-2 days before it ends

[fluid delta]

as short as 10.5 rl days

[woven arch]

That's still so looooong. 😭

[polar viper]

now you owe me around 2 days

[woven arch]

Me fr

Wdym I'm in division 89... help, I'm scared.

[lofty magnet]

Im going to refuse to play outbreak even if I need to logits. Seems to buggy to risk it

[woven arch]

I'm playing Outbreak as normal tbh.

[polar viper]

what would u loose?

except life time

[lofty magnet]

Not be able to finish it and waste darwinium again lol

[polar viper]

dont waste darwinium then

[woven arch]

Just don't spend darwinium?

[lofty magnet]

But maybe i start tomorrow and say screw to leaderboard to get the 50.

[fluid delta]

If you mean for infection event, I do see the devs chose to ignore what happened, basically. That’s different from last time. But so you skip getting Top 10 this event, don’t have to wait long, another event starts Thursday as usual, and you did presumably get your 3 badges from it like I did!

[woven arch]

Looking at y'all like "Wait you guys use darwinium?"

[lofty magnet]

Time flux in events is often crucial

[polar viper]

but i want double compensation
(devs just slept through it sadly. only at 12 on work mondays it seems)

[fluid delta]

I never use Time Flux in events. But if you really really want Top 10 and you don’t have many badges, I can see why one might

[lofty magnet]

The infection one I have only 30 plus so yeah

[fluid delta]

lol yeah it does seem so. oh well

You will need Darwinium for the next update, that is what i save mine for

[woven arch]

I only have 35 (or maybe 37 by now) badges. 🥲 Cause I don't play the game consistently.

[woven arch]

For what?

[lofty magnet]

Augments I bet

[fringe lake]

400 hours 😔

[lofty magnet]

But I wish the leaderboard wasn't so focused on meso and instead beyond. If you want beyond stuff you need to be high. But I guess the logits is important buy now so best to start tomorrow to get them in time

[woven arch]

Blargh.

[inner maple]

It’s taking FOREVER to get all accomplishments in meso. 😑

[lofty magnet]

I know but the dark matter in beyond I always low on.

[gray yew]

Frankly I’m just glad to finally get to play it again

[fringe lake]

i sadly need to touch grass

[woven arch]

[lofty magnet]

But I know the currency in meso resets. So I know my 700 000 that I have stashed disappear next time I reset which is soon. Just started to push through to get all the achievements for the dinos. Im currently soon complete with prestige 2

[fringe lake]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[woven arch]

Plopping down some grass in here.

GO TOUCH IT.

[woven arch]

I feel indifferent towards all events cause I've never fully completed one.

The one that stood out to me is the currency one because of the lever things.

[fringe lake]

400 hours and still only beyond 22

[woven arch]

Sad.....

[fringe lake]

okay nebulas wreck my laptop's CPU

[polar viper]

It doesnt reset. Thats why u save. Only thing that resets are the common cards.
So you never push lower tier dinos

[woven arch]

Oh goddess now I'm scared of what will happen when I get there.

[inner maple]

Fair.

[fringe lake]

prob bcs they use a lot of transparent textures

[lofty magnet]

Not even the blue stuff? I thought that also reseted also. Can't remember the name of the blue stuff, in beyond its dark matter so much I know

[polar viper]

I end up with like over 2.5m mutagen at the end of p10.

[fringe lake]

nvm i already finished 22

[polar viper]

There u will need it

[woven arch]

The blue stuff in Meso doesn't reset during prestige.

[lofty magnet]

Lovely. Then I definitely would prefer the dark matter. Only 2000 there and thats not much.

[fringe lake]

yeah

[lofty magnet]

Dark matter is also hard to get, I guess I need to stop playing for three or more years in it to stash

[brave jolt]

Since when do i need to wait 2 hours to post in #🎨-cells-art

[inner maple]

I got a 2 minute slow down in the main chat, not sure why yours is 2 hours

[lofty magnet]

I just clocked in in 1180 hours. Have played since launch basically. But very much on and off.

[fringe lake]

oof

[lofty magnet]

Still not done with meso prestige levels or all the events but have played many years. But on and off so could have had many more hours

[gray yew]

I see

[woven arch]

🥲

[tardy stump]

How do I unlock these upgrades?

[mellow carbon]

Middle ages is on the idea tab.

In general if you have numbers on the beaker flask, click there and buy them.

then buy anything from the DNA or light-bulb that you don't have any more of.

[gray yew]

Just keep trying
You’ll get there eventually
/gen /pos

[woven arch]

I shall try this time! Thank you!

I'm being blinded each time I discover a new interstellar object, they're so bright and in my face.

[amber canyon]

I did the same. I'm not gonna spend that long fighting for rank though. I'll just take the badges I want and ignore events for 6 days.

Would have kicked myself if I hadn't started disease early and had missed out though.

[woven arch]

Oh it's not just me then.

[woven arch]

Same here.

[weary spade]

.

[swift heron]

i've only unlocked like 5 generators in the outbreak event

division 160 is easy asl

[wind quarry]

This is probably a question that’s been asked a hundred times before and I’ll eventually find it in the archive, but…

How do I clear the “unread” notification from the lightning bolt? The one with boost and augment, and the time flux? I’ve clicked everything I can.

[tall mirage]

You can't

[hot grotto]

[last stratus]

Why is the verification code taking so long to arrive? I've refreshed my Gmail page several times and still don't see the code.

[fluid delta]

I think that's unclaimed goals in the Event itself. Note that the notice for the challenge bonus for the next challenge level, since it gives you some science, counts as one as well

[stark belfry]

That's it, I'm unlock-shaming now. Tetrapd means four feet but includes all terrestrial members of subphyllum vertebrata, you only unlock legs by getting the tetrapod, seriously? At least have it be unlocked with lungfish.

[fluid delta]

verification code? For what?

[last stratus]

I want to create a game account, but my Gmail account has already been used once and I've forgotten the password. I need a verification code to generate a new password.

[fluid delta]

oh. Perhaps just use an alias on a google mail that you have access to, and create a password for cells to use?

Use that alias + password as your cells login?

Mind you, it's been months since I created mine, idr if it tries to verify the email address or not

[woven arch]

Yeah it just takes a while. I went through that process a day or so ago.

Yeah, verification codes should be instant but I guess the ones for this game is just quirky.

[wind quarry]

Thanks for the info so I can stop trying to figure out how to clear that.

[stark belfry]

Matter of fact, you can even unlock mammals and everything without legs and quadripedalism. What is this?

[fluid delta]

If memory serves, can't you unlock Stone Age before Humans?

[woven arch]

Yeah, don't you have to unlock Stone Age before Humans?

Since I've been trying to get my Singularity time down as of recently, that's how the sequence of unlocks go.

[cold vigil]

yeah i have all nodes in primary sim bought

[inner maple]

I think I got humans before the Stone Age, I could be wrong though.

[woven arch]

We could always just check eventually if it's that important, haha.

No?

o

[swift heron]

i'll check when i next reset

[woven arch]

Alright 👍

[stark belfry]

There should be a channel for progression shaming where we take jabs at CTS progression not making sense

[woven arch]

imagine 😭

[swift heron]

i mean to be fair this game's about science and stuff
you cant expect them to have everything

they'd need like 2-3 more years for just every tiny bit in the main evolution tree

[swift heron]

and by that i mean expanding the current things we have
like not even adding new things

[stark belfry]

Not every part needs shaming. Some is excusable(like pre-human Stone Age)

[swift heron]

honestly im surprised they made an AI exploration event considering it could become completely outdated in just a few years

[stark belfry]

Arguably, even Minecraft needs more progression shaming than Cells. It's a travesty.

And Minecraft is a sandbox which means that progression in a normal sense doesn't exist

[swift heron]

gpus need progression shaming how tf did their graphic power get bumped up so high in the difference of 1-2 generations

[stark belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/tim-robinson-affirmative-yes-sir-sir-yes-sir-sergeant-gif-27049676

[fluid delta]

That's... a very good thing, that GPU performance is increasing rapidly.

[swift heron]

1-2 generations is literally less than a decade

look at the average game from 2015 and now

[fluid delta]

GPU and CPU generations have a cadence of about 2 years, though sometimes there is slippage

[rough axle]

You can, although first idea requires level 6, and human doesn’t require a level

[stark belfry]

Name a survival crafting game that needs more progression shaming than Minecraft. I'll wait

[swift heron]

booga booga reborn

[rough axle]

Muck

[swift heron]

the difference between the average game in like 2020 and then just a few years later is crazy

the same thing goes for storage

[stark belfry]

ABSOLUTELY

[swift heron]

at one year having tb was a luxury now there are people with tens and hundreds of tb

[fluid delta]

sure, but that in no way implies that GPU advancement is bad. The reverse, actually

[swift heron]

there are people with fucking PETABYTES

not a singular petabyte

MULTIPLE

[swift heron]

that's the whole point
gpus are advancing way too fast

that's the entire problem

[stark belfry]

If any of you have played the game Last Day on Earth, you can probably guess why I think it needs an essay-like progression shame. The devs not only made it into pay-to-win slop, it has a progression somewhat worse than Minecraft but better than Rust(Rust gets the "It's so progression-shame worthy, where do you start" award, Facepunch outdid themselves with antirealism)

[fluid delta]

ok, 10 min timeout later, I can reply..

[fluid delta]

I strongly disagree. Why would you not want performance to advance? More performance is a GOOD thing.

[swift heron]

it means that newer games will be out of your range

and that you'll have to upgrade constantly

[coarse haven]

Hi everyone

[fluid delta]

So you want stagnation instead? No. That's terrible. Nothing says you have to upgrade, except your own desire to run games and such that want to do better visuals, want to do more. Nothing stops you from running 20 year old games on hardware from that era (emulated or otherwise). For that matter, if you are happy with the level of performance of 1980s systems, and play those games, you can, easily and cheaply!

[coarse haven]

Why is my name tag purple now?

[rough axle]

You got a new role from sharing your progress in #🏆-share-your-prestige

[coarse haven]

Oh I didn't know that was a thing i would've done it much earlier if I had known that

[woven arch]

I kinda want my red name back. 🥲

Does anyone know which Beyond-related roles correspond to which Beyond episodes? Since I don't see them mentioned in any of the pinned messages in #🏆-share-your-prestige aside from the Ep 15 one.

[swift heron]

graphics have hit such a huge peak i literally think graphics should just stop at this point

i dont understand why anyone would want graphics any higher than this

[fluid delta]

What? No they haven't. Not even close. You might have a skewed perspective though, given the hardware you personally have access to.

[swift heron]

dude look at these graphics

you can see the dirt and sand particles

battlefield 6 isnt even the highest graphics game

[fluid delta]

yeah, so? That's not even that close to reality.. and THAT is the ultimate aim: to be able to represent graphics to that level of fidelity. We are not close to that.

[swift heron]

"not even that close to reality"

anything else would just be minor details that the average person wouldnt notice

[fluid delta]

It isn't. Look out your window. That is not close to what you have on your screen.

[swift heron]

who cares about graphics being close to reality

the whole purpose of graphics is that it looks good

it can look good asl without being close to reality

[fluid delta]

It's moot what you want here anyway. Stagnant process is not how the computer industry is, and it's never been that, way longer than you've been alive.

Advancements will continue, and maybe you want things to stay static.. well, you aren't getting what you want, there.

[swift heron]

maybe not be completely stagnant in the progress but graphics dont have to advance THIS fast

even if graphics "arent close to reality" (even though they are)
they still look very realistic

[fluid delta]

Too bad. It is anyway, and I for one, am very glad of it. I want better and better performance for my money, I am glad things advance. And.. you think this is fast, you weren't around in the 90s, it was WAYYYY faster then.

[swift heron]

anything else would just be like looking at an IRL video and controlling it

[fluid delta]

Nope. That is just not the case.

[swift heron]

sure better performance is a good thing
but making that better performance become the normal is insane
games having extremely high graphics shouldnt be the normal

people in eastern countries are barely keeping up

[fluid delta]

Dude, I'm sorry, but that's a crazy argument. If you want things to not change, then just continue to use old hardware, and play the games that are out then. That's as close as you are going to get.

[woven arch]

I personally don't mind the strive for realism that a lot of video game companies have, the problem arises when they don't optimize their game to handle the high graphics that come with it.

[swift heron]

what im saying is games with fun storylines and gameplay mechanics are always coming out
but the fact that some people cant play those games just because a very few percentage of people want to see the sand particles on the ground and be able to count them is crazy

[fluid delta]

Yeah, optimization and all that is it's own topic.. the economics of game development and longer timelines, it's.. an issue, for sure.

[swift heron]

like add an option to disable those graphics instead of hardlocking it

[swift heron]

like graphics shouldnt be the main selling point for games
and they should be optional not a forced thing

[fluid delta]

That's not how it is, actually. Nothing stops you from playing those games at low settings... those setting being equivalent to high settings for games 10 years earlier.. but you can usually play them on older hardware.

[swift heron]

id play games like call of duty or battlefield 6 if they were pixel games or polygon games

[fluid delta]

Most of the time it isn't the main selling point. Again, that's not how things are.

[swift heron]

my opinion on games is very different due to getting used to a bad pc so idk
but from my prespective it looks like graphics are the main thing

[fluid delta]

Anyway, your wish here, it's not how the computer world is. Accept it as it is or ignore it. I guess that's your options?

[swift heron]

i've seen a ton of youtubers playing a game and going like "woah look at the graphics"
with some of them not even focusing on the game at all and instead focusing on the graphics

[fluid delta]

Youtubers aren't generally a great example.. and keep in mind that an otherwise great game with mediocre (ie: 2010-era) graphics will sell badly.... unless that's it's thing, and some games are designed on purpose with older gfx styles.

Point being if you want to play games that don't have great graphics by 2020s standards, you have plenty of choice.

[edgy nova]

So right now the highest simulation level is 74?

[fluid delta]

defacto probably yes. Technically there is no limit.

[edgy nova]

How are those both true at the same time?

[fluid delta]

Level 75 needs E311 I think.. I don't think you can earn that even with all RE nodes filled.. in any "reasonable" amount of time... but you can earn it, once you have enough XP. There is no cap.

[rough axle]

Cough cough cells

[fluid delta]

heh. Yes. Exactly.

[warm lodge]

Is the leaderboard down at the moment? It's not loading here.

[fluid delta]

Seems to be. I get the same as you (non-Beta)

[woven arch]

I'm so confused cause I'm playing on the public version but I have the beta global leaderboard too? <_<

[rough axle]

If you ever participated in the beta, your account is permanently marked as beta

[warm lodge]

Support told me that the beta is for the player card only:

"The beta badge on the player profile card actually signifies that the profile card is in beta, not your game.

It is confusing! We are working on the profile card to update it to production."

[woven arch]

Okay, marked, but I'm able at any time to play on the public version, yes?

[rough axle]

Correct

[woven arch]

Okay, good, thanks.

[swift heron]

dude i dont even have most of the generators unlocked for this event

[warm lodge]

Because I asked them if they can put me back in the regular tag and leaderboard because I left the beta after reality reboot came live.

[swift heron]

something is off with division 160

like seriously look at how many empty gens there are

1250 science points for top 50 is VERY low

even in divisions above 200 top 50 still required more

this event has 13 generators and almost every one could be upgraded to over 300x

[woven arch]

I have 3 generators to go. 🥲

[swift heron]

im not even p2w this event

i barely opened the game today

only opened it like 3 times 10 minutes each

???????????

WHAT

no something is DEFINITLY wrong

[mellow gazelle]

whot

[swift heron]

WDYM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOP 50 AND TOP 25 IS ONLY 100
AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOP 100 AND TOP 25 IS ONLY 200

[woven arch]

Mark is not used to things being easy.

[swift heron]

the difference between top 500 and 250 was much bigger

[swift heron]

the difference between top 500 and 250 is bigger than the difference between 100 to 25 💀

im not "not used to things being easy" it's just this is off

[mellow gazelle]

yo, did they throw some new codes anywhere?

me want cubes

[woven arch]

Hmmm. 😌

[swift heron]

this is the lowest amount of science points ive ever seen throughout the hundreds of times ive ever done events

the difference between top 25 and top 10 better not be less than 100

because at that point im getting top 1 just by simply finishing the event

not even gotta do any challenge levels

[swift heron]

this event has the biggest amount of generators (i think?) out of all the events

and almost every single event no matter the division the top people have over 2k science points

in this event top 25 requires 1.3k science points

[woven arch]

Well, it has only been a day.

Blargh.

Remind me to NOT enter an Exploration early, gang. 😩

I mean, it was unintentional this time, due to the Image Exploration being cut short.

[swift heron]

yea but we're talking about an impossibly low amount of science points for top players

[woven arch]

Impossibly low!

[swift heron]

this is a normal amount tho

[swift heron]

yes

you'd literally have to intentionally not open the game for this to happen

[woven arch]

I haven't played this game since September 2025 tbf so I don't know anything. And I used to end up at Top 250 most times.

[woven arch]

Interesting.

[woven arch]

I think I will always considering myself an amateur player of this game. 🥲

[mellow carbon]

I wonder if the dummy accounts they put in to the event leaderboards are also messed up by the timing.
(We don't know for sure there are dummy accounts, but it's definitely likely)

[swift heron]

FINALLY something that makes sense

500 science points between top 25 and top 10 IS normal

top 10 having only 2k science points isnt normal tho

[dry cairn]

Agree. I cant imagine them actually putting 1,000 people in each division.

[swift heron]

i literally started this event as early as i could intentionally

[woven arch]

They should put 10 people in each division so everyone wins.

[swift heron]

i only started out a few hours after it released (like 3-4 hours)

[swift heron]

honestly the devs have been giving out way too much to the players recently

getting dwarnium before the synthesizer and the leaderboards were added was VERY hard

[woven arch]

I wasn't around for any of this.

[swift heron]

the only way to get darwinium was from the daily rewards (which were very different back then)

[woven arch]

Oh wait yeah I know what you're talking about.

[dry cairn]

I joined 10 minutes after it started and got division 21. Maybe there was a lot of people on at the time checking out the event time bug.

[fluid delta]

I started the event about as fast as it was possible to. I'm in Div #11, and to reach Top 10, at this moment, takes about 6900 science.

[woven arch]

I'm horrified.

[swift heron]

how the fuck do you have 8.7k science points already

[dry cairn]

Someone was saying there are no single digit divisions and so 10 or 11 is the first.

[swift heron]

there definitly are single digit divisions

i think ive seen someone post an image of a leaderboard for them in here

[dry cairn]

There was a slight chance that they would have reset the event because of the previous one ending early. Which would mean 6 possible badges instead of 3. So I did 1 round of the event last night before going to sleep.

[fluid delta]

I could have.. but I didn't bother playing it since I finished CL1 last night

[woven arch]

I am so scared.

[dry cairn]

This is one of the longer events. It took a good 2 hours.

[swift heron]

dude how long was the outbreak event out for

cause these timezones are crazy
when i went to sleep at 12 yesterday the art event still had 17 hours

[dry cairn]

19.5 hours ago?

[fluid delta]

Someone at Cells made a mistake and set the start date/time for Infection for 12 hours earlier than usual.

(so, perhaps a AM/PM toggle?)

[fluid delta]

ty. That one was especially sloppy, did you see the images were backwards?

[mellow carbon]

Interesting. Post 21 day idle, it seems worth sticking around for quite a while. You get a fair amount of additional boost out of buying the generators. I'm up at least 30% post purchase for ideas/entropy.

[fluid delta]

How long did that take?

[swift heron]

and how the hell did people finish the whole event in just 12 hours

[fluid delta]

Huh? I did it in.. I think.. 2?

[swift heron]

⁉️

WHAT

literally no event takes less than a whole day

not even james webb telescope

[fluid delta]

Yeah, looking back at the activity here last night, Infection started around 1030pm CST... I think? I got done at 1230am. So, about 2 hours. I stopped once I finished CL1 though, I won't bother going further.

And James Webb only takes me a few hours..

That's how it is when you have lots of badges and you either go in and out frequently (mobile) or use an autoclicker and stay in (Steam)

[edgy nova]

Because they did it multiple times and now they have lot of boosts.

[fluid delta]

Yup. And ofc the 4x ad boost (mobile) or Infinity Pass (Steam or mobile)

[edgy nova]

The ad boost on mobile sucks. Because it's two copies of one game, not the same save on two devices.

[fluid delta]

No, leaderboards are individual to your particular Division

[fluid delta]

.. huh? ad boost are individual to the thing you're in. Primary has one, Beyond has one (actually 2, since one is for the research stuff), Meso has one, Events has one.

[white egret]

depending on when you start an event youll get put into a division, each division holds 1000 people, so if you wanted to be in the same leaderboard youd have to join around the same time

[edgy nova]

I know, that's why I don't like uploading saves from my PC to my phone back and forth.

[fluid delta]

Why not? Doing that is how you get the ad boost and yet play on Steam.

[edgy nova]

Because it's very tedious.

[fluid delta]

Yes, it is that. Worth it IMO, though. Ofc you can just buy Infinity Pass and not need to.

[edgy nova]

That's what I prefer doing.

[fluid delta]

side benefit: you have a backup of your save

[white egret]

actually i need to edit this, the leaderboard shows 1000 but half of those are fake players, so its only really 500 to a division

[terse sierra]

What level are you guys at in the primary simulation I'm at 60

[fluid delta]

74 or possibly 75 is as far as anyone can get who hasn't been Beta or Alpha

|| 70 || is the last unlock, if you want to know that! Past that, you would be at or near endgame and well positioned for the next update next month!

[swift heron]

im at 64 is that good

[woven arch]

Level 58 🥲 <--- yo that's the guy who speaks in bands

[terse sierra]

No it's the band who speaks in mans

[woven arch]

AH

[swift heron]

now that's more like it

top 10 having about 2.4k

although i do still have 5 generators to unlock?

[fluid delta]

Top 10 in mine is now up to about 7200

[swift heron]

what division are you

[fluid delta]

11

[swift heron]

cause i seriously feel like something is odd with my division

i used to have to get 4k science points just for top 10 in divisions above 200

this is division 160 in the event with the most amount of generators and top 10 only requires 2.5k

[fluid delta]

enjoy it while it lasts

[swift heron]

eh i'll probably wake up on the last day and see that i got pushed back to top 250

or pushed back to participant

but for the meantime i'll probably get top 1 or somewhere in the top 3

[white egret]

division 14 and top 10 is around 7000

[mellow carbon]

I've let it run about 15 hours so far. I see the fills tailing off so I'll probably restart the idle sometime tonight after it finishes a last fill.

[fluid delta]

oh ok, 30% is pretty nice for just 15 hours additional time. I’ll need to remember that.

I presume you topped up your generators as well, to help get that?

[mellow carbon]

I figure it's gonna be about 5% of the total time (nothing for 19ish days with the stupid 2x acceleration effect), then 1 day of waiting.

Yes, I've been evenly increasing the generators a few times.

And running with 4x + 2x idle boost

[fluid delta]

nodnod.. I’ll see what I get when my 21 game days runs out in a few days
