It's been here for ages
Blood Belly Comb Jelly my beloved โค๏ธ (ignore the fact I wasn't here)
you weren't here twice
This sticker's even older than me iirc
older than the universe
In the start of the universe, god said "Let there be Blood Belly Comb Jelly sticker in the official c2s discord server!"
i dont notice
I did restart and semi-randomly spent all my meta on the boosters. Should result in an overall 3x speed increase. I'm happy with that ๐
math?
not much. Just comparing new multipliers to old.
but then God said "Let there be a Giant Squid"

Wtf are time crystals?
The infinity pass is way too expensive for such a short time
"Time Crystals increase currency production based on how long your current simulation has been running. This value resets upon rebooting."
approaching 4 days into an empty Sim run but I still have a few entropy upgrades that'd increase the efficiency a ton. Should I keep waiting till 21 days or should I get these first & then start a 21 day run?
if I do one now, would I be able to afford the Triassic terminator/ information theory upgrades?
Real
Impossible for us to know.
You can test by uploading a save file using the save manager cross platform save feature. Then do a reboot and play for ~5 mins buying all the stuff. If you didn't get enough, download the save file and wait some more.
if I do get enough, should I stick with that save?
At 5 days in, if you got something like Triadic Terminator, or Info Theory, probably.
Unless the next good one is tantalisingly close ๐
you could do some guessing with like what your got last time + the time buffs you have now, but we're gonna have to do alot more to make better tools
should be noted the exponential nature of the crystals and chambers might make things closer than they appear
Difficult to calculate. Lots of variables. But Def a challenge ๐
if a person saves enough data is possible, or if like a giant table of values is made
like you take your multiplers from the prev reboot, take the multi difference from this reboot, then account for time
I suspect putting aside gathering that and keeping it up to date; making a save and testing will always be the easier solution ๐ฌ
prob lol
And the things you bought too.
oh yeah thats what i mean with the difference
there wont be an exact one to one gain from multiplers (because the opportunity to buy generators and upgrades can change) but in late game its roughly the same
Ah yes. Sorry, literally just woke up and waiting for me coffee ...
lol gm
Well, cloudy and rainy. So not good.
did some calculations this way, I should just about reach Information Theory
Buy via steam to make it a bit cheaper in my experience than via appstores. Still a bit too expensive 
if we only consider either entro or idea and not at the same time, then its just 2+1 variables to care about, (entro boost, meta boost, and time)
time we know the formulas, and for the other 2 you can make a table maybe
all days are good, you just have to find the reason
Quite a few you can't tell what the boost is until e.g. you've bought generators.
oh generator number i forgot about that
thats also roughly related to your other boosts tho
like with more entropy you can buy more generators etc etc
Some days just aren't good though...
then make yourself the reason
Sometimes there aren't any reasonable reasons and you have to admit it
Every day has the same weather in cells 
And ofc something like an update changes stuff. Including (possibly) the data you've carefully gathered over time.
they're TOS so unless the devs have a change of heart they wont be public
My Dinos haven't seen day for maybe a year now. They're stuck in nighttime hell.
Does a volcano erupting count as a change in weather?
true but its nicer to choose to make a day good
"existence is enough" yk?
Hey they died 550 times all together. Now they have a good life in the valley
Depends on how you think about it...
volcanos can change the weather, so yeah
Sometimes people don't even desire to exist, I wonder why
Anyways this is out of #๐ฌ-cells-chat's scope
Too philosophical for me at this time. And tbh v subjective.
If you wanna continue I'm totally fine continuing in #๐ -general :)
ah idrc lol
Me too lmao
Yeah moving to general. Thats instant discussion killer
i just love happiness
I was thinking that as I typed. I'm (almost) trained.
But it'll die in general, so no point going there.

549 reincarnations is insane
oh on the note of updates changing the tables n such
it should be easily calculatable
But do they have a good life with volcano-weather?
Or without.
this
Ah
Weather can be fine with volcano. A volcano can just sit there not violently erupting. Look at hawaii
Pretty sure that isn't the case in the Mesozoic Valley...
like since the game is turing complete, and solvable, you should be able to reach most states you want quickly, even if an update changes some numbers
I can still see the stars while it's erupting. The sea doesn't boil.
(the proof of solvability is left as an exercise to the reader)
Do the golden floaty things change that? Even slightly? Theoretically?
how do i progress thru beyond ranks(i'm on rank 25)
For events the optimal path would be interesting
Complete objectives by completing requirements
Depending on your number of badges etc
does randomness change solvability? uhhh im not a game theorist hold on
ik, but it's so slow
Focus on buying your most effective generators, collecting any trait cards you can.
When you can (or it's easy) complete an objective. Don't focus on them until the last one, they'll slow you down.
it might squish or stretch the time frame of some period but i dont think it changes it completely
Prob does more in Beyond and Meso - more randomness in those.
okay
ok so this is the worst solution to the problem but c#'s random number generator is only pseudo random! so its not technically random!
spits coffee
i'ma just upgrade horsehead nebula, orion spur and orion nebula
it uses seeds too! so its uhhh, well we cant expect a person to just know the seed that the number generator is using
You're ... Technically correct (TM) ... I guess.
Just go away from solvability and include heuristics. Then randomness is wayne and its even possible to calculate at all in non endless time.
Horse head is one of my fave models. It's cool being able to see it from.other angles.
but an actual answer is that since the randomness can never like, destroy a state, it can only move it along a branch that already existed (just in the future) then it doesnt have a large effect
My quote for the day 'randomness is Wayne'.
like (afaik) its always a constant multiple of your income, so it just moves you into the future
yeah we're talking about cts
U think cells is solvable but even chess isnt really which is a way way simpler game than any pc game
Chess is actually a complex game /nsrs
Nah chess is simple. Small Board. Very limited move Sets. Very clear rules.
also this is somewhat easier since there isnt competition in cells
theoretically
But anyway, there are a lot of branches you can discount in cells pretty immediately. I think chess is more complex.
there are literally 2(3) things you can do in cells
do nothing
buy something
Small board? Yes
Clear rules? Yes
Limited move sets? I guess?
The possibilities? I wonder...
It just gets complex via planning moves into the future.
I reckon I can brush up my chess skills in 10 mins and check it, right?
And for cells this is endless more
but they'll only be 1 optimal path in cells per state
I'll be a grand master in no time ๐
But you have a thousand different things to buy which interact in different forms. If you dont simplifiy it drastically you have every buy step nearly endless possibilities already.
whatdya mean people have been trying to solve this for centuries. Pah. They:re just not trying hard enough. And they didn't believe in my perpetual motion machine either
You need weighting functions to drastically simplifiy the buy decision or you have too many decision branches
there are ways to cull branches, also we dont have to solve completly, even if we do like a depth 10 solve per reasonable state thats pretty good
So without heuristics u are done
Which I think is pretty easy in cells? Speaking as a chess grand master ofc.
It is, but we talking about actually solving the game which would include testing out every fricking possible path which is doable in chess to some degree, but not in most pc games
"Bro thinks he's Magnus" ahh
Ah, am engineer, happy to cull lots of paths with the mark 1 eyeball.
we can cull any state where some generator has been bought with a worse income cost ratio than another given it doesnt unlock anything optimal
thats like infinity% of the states
Chess is possible but in reality not doable... yet
Yeah. There is a reason ai's are the best chess players atm. Because just brute forcing it, fast explodes.
But i used chess as one of the simplest games to bruteforce aka go every possible possibility
Most other games explodes way faster
oh actually this reminds me of something annoying in beyond, when you are buying more than 1 generator and you go over a rank, it doesnt calculate your gains at that new rank
So the entire Idea of solvable is useless
i think an event would be the easiest thing to solve, since it has the least extra stuff
whats the smallest event?
oh i can check actually
Also u dont want to solve a game, you just want the probably 99% most optimal path
Face Your Fears is undoubtedly the smallest exploration at the moment
oh true ofc
For Events it would have a use too
Like a suggestion what to buy next
Or when to save
And how long to stay offline
oh yeah ive been thinking on what itd look like for a bit lol
(this is unrelated but really funny, cryptids is so small, its less than double the size of the test tree, with like nothing in it)
the largest is plague
Plague? Didn't expect that
is it
it just barely beat money
I got a chess certificate ... I'm an eXpErT now
lmao
2016 i had no idea we time traveled
10 years ago damn
i cant believe T was 2026-T years ago ๐
You are an expert?
Wanna have a game of chess? /nsrs
Yup. I've been an expert for YEARS.
(I kinda suck lmfao)
(as of 5 mins ago that is)
i suck im like 900 ish?, but that was a year ago
900 in what?
elo
Of which pace?
I am actually terrible at chess.
The last game I played (laser chess) I did win, but it took a while. And it turned out my opponent thought they were playing the same colour as me. So ... We both won? Kinda?
casual
yeah i only play casually lol
ive barely played against people tho
im bad but my friends are worse :/
I'm 800 rapid but 1100 blitz, 3 minutes timer is good because when I blunder people will mess up their time management for no reason and I can at least make a draw
Anyways I just realized I'm misusing this channel once again goddammit
lol
Still takes a while though.
the size is a rough measure of things that exist in the tree
not of how long it takes
So helps for solvability, yeah.
Still obnoxiously slow for one badge. Hmph.
actually i think i have all the data i need to make this solver
Its special and doing its best
dont bully it
oh god im gonna have to make trees arent i
surely i can make dictionaries of dictionaries
Can you use any of Sugars(?) they're making them aren't they?
oh no i mean the data structure
for parsing
cause per node youre gonna need: cost, reqs, (if gen) income, (if upgrade) multi,(if upgrade) target gen
Anyway, stuff to do. Have fun y'alls.
have a good one imma helldive
goodbye.
you cant say "how it feels" and then the events just happen
also i bought this game yesterday lol
A new recruit 
i dont have the gear for cyberstan lol im trying to level up
Farewell
Found it.
Did the something went wrong bug got fixed?
Yeah if you update
New update?
Lemme check
Where was the day it updated or I'm blind
๐ญ
Was it rn?
can we all agree episode 27 is the worst part to replay in beyond
like holy bad balancing
It's kind of bad, indeed, but I don't think it's that bad
I simply don't enjoy both
I don't remember
Not really
I see both 27 and 28 are unbalanced
Like without the 4x boost overdrive beyond would have taken me WEEKS for ONE generator
I kinda dont want to get to episode 29 cause it will probably have the worst balancing by far
And you are correct
28 is taking too long
about 2 weeks in
these used to barely take 2 weeks
and now 2 weeks in im not even halfway there
let me guess beacause of milky way
or more specificly beacause sag dwarf and mag cloud are worthless
i have no idea myself honestly
Those astronomical structures are large
Normally the generator's timer is based on how large they are (e.g. Jupiter takes longer to generate Stardust than Mercury)
Will I be able to get these last two achievements in part 2?
of beyond
or should I wait before upgrading at rank 17 to get them
Bro there are no rush, relax and enjoy, they are balanced enought to not pass every episode in one week, because updates are not so fast
the parts in indistinguishable gameplay wise, you will still have access to all the things in part 1
so it doesnt really matter? if you want to you can wait to get them but there isnt much need to
What with that card, I have opened 150+ stars and still can't get it
Do any of you have any tips on how to boost entropy production to progress in the new mollusk update?
Wait 21 days
๐
For 'normal' play, as normal: focus on getting your most effective generators and as your time chambers to grow it'll help (the purple ones boost entropy).
For active min-maxing: spam reboot to get more reality engine nodes to boost your speed and get more boosts and stuff.
For passive min-maxing and when Spam-Rebooting is no longer effective: Do Empty Sim - i.e. reboot and don't buy any generators, wait till your time crystals hit max (~21days) and then start buying.
For bonus min-maxing in Empty Sim: Leave the game open in e.g. Beyond or Meso and open up primary occasionally. This will make in game time pass twice as fast for time nodes.
also a tip for normal play: the value sorting in the menu doesnt sort by income over cost, its just the income, so you might not be getting as good a deal as you expect
nooo
a way to find income over cost (quickly) is the set the buy mode to "max" as everything will be the same cost, you can then judge by the income, ofc you might buy too much of a generator then
Mine works dandy [1] for buy max (Android). I get the feeling that if you aren't on buy max, or are on other platforms it might be set up differently
[1] By which I mean the 'which should I spend most money on to get the most return' sorting is right, not necessarily considering the reality engine nodes that grow depending on qty generators.
yep thats why i added this
I autoclick sort by value and let it buy everything
Hmm. Coming up to 8 days in to this empty sim run and would be 1/10th of the way to Tachyon Funnel (metabits crystals at ~45) if I rebooted now.
I just started the event at 1d 2h, is it a long or short event?
Ty
For me: middling (assuming same number of badges as other events).
0 ๐
I hope you have lots of tea in then ๐.
My 3rd time of doing it (with 35% badge boost) took me just over 7h to complete (presumably playing it actively).
๐ต
Chat
The something went wrong bug is fixed
I think
I appeared once and it didn't appear anymore
I could finish the ep20 in beyond
REALLY????
YESSSSSSSS
also I got amphibians yesterday :D
I'm so close to galactic nucleus
Good luck
be careful there
I-I meant beyond episode 26
but I flung myself to galactic nucleus irl
/j
this is why future scientists will have a hard time studying this channel
I'm so mad, I needed 6 more of the last object in Beyond and now they made it impossible to even get a single one ๐ญ
To get the achievement
The 'balancing' they did was stupid, imo.
It's like so far out of reach, it seems really unreasonable
Everybody is now frozen in Beyond.
The balancing shouldn't make it impossible to finish ..
we're gonna be fed into AI
what
But kinda glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue and thinks that way
ive watched 300 ads in total ๐ญ
Everyone in the endgame of it
is this like episode 29 problems
Ya
ohhh
they increased the prices???
lowered the stardust production??
||Great Attractor|| now costs x10 more, and provides x10 less income. Other generators had similar.
Wow that's crazy, I didn't look at the numbers more closely
That's outrageous
I have 5 and 5 of it's upgrades and all of the relevant constellations and it would take many weeks, or even months to get a single one lmao
Info bnm gave:
||virgo cluster is 100x weaker,
messier 87 is 10x weaker,
quasar 3c 273 and laniakea costs 10x as much and are 10x weaker,
local void costs 50x as much, and
great attractor costs 10x as much and is 10x weaker||
WHAT
nah
Wow so folks who are still getting to the endgame will have such a brutal time too wtf
I ain't updating nothin until I max beyond
IM EPISODE 26 ๐ญ ๐ญ
7 more generators until doom
We're all hoping the Devs re-rebalance it.
I'm just not touching beyond anymore for now
||nucleus, sag a, milkyway, sag dwarf, large mag cloud, triangulum and andromeda||
That's big debuff*
I just got to where I was in episode 25
6 months for me to get my next ||Great Attractor|| (not counting ad doubling or trait ranking).
I'm just collecting the freebies in there for now.
wait, you unlock something if you get rank 3 in omega cen?
A nerf is what you mean
cuz I got near and far 3kpc arms from perseus
Same thing
Not really imo
beyond part 2 here we come
you mean episode 2?
ohhhh
you always start at the sun
it's just normal beyond with more generators and you can zoom out further
bruh what
what about series 2 then
after you unlock alpha centauri, you unlock the next generator
just normal
when do I get the series 2 lootboxes
upgrade universe, reset progress
episode 18
you get all of them
well there are new stars
I just started 18
ohhhhhhhh that
then you already have them
Tbh - and no facts to support this, just vibes - it feels like they've nerfed drop rates for E29 generator trait cards too.
once you unlock the first generator I think?
you already have proxima fentauri
you need to get the first generator
yes but im starting at the sun
ohhhh
I think soon you'll get the Stage 2 nursery rewards. Maybe E19?
cant be the only one who thought part 1 and part 2 were seperate
just new lootboxes and stuff
cuz part 1 was a slouch already
when it was in beta, sure, ppl thought it was different I think
but ppl eventually maxed it and realized
:/
though every object from sun to alpha cen gets a little buff
It gets faster to go through the beginning because you get the upgrade for all objects
1.5x speed that doubles every episode
whats even more lame is that u barely get rare/epic cards so getting to the new generators barely gets shorter
its not comparable to meso
im disappointed
And that is why many old-timers still actively compete in events (for the black holes). Instead of leaving you young'uns to it.
sorry
black holes are worse than diamond geodes
I haven't gotten even a neutron star from events ๐ญ
but I suppose I can park beyond
I play mostly freemium, only spend my darwinium on time fluxes in primary
and only get it from synthesizers and next level mindsets
Time fluxes? ๐ญ
In terms of gold/silver drops, yes. But they're basically the only reasonable way of getting them in Beyond.
Why would you ever do that
idk
real life time is free bro
beyond would be way easier if dark matter gain scaled properly like in meso
Do you have all modules and upgrades already? You wanna get all of those first
And ofc diamond geodes are 'worthless' once you've finished Meso.
oh ok, I mostly buy the logit ones
and I have alpha to delta
maybe epsilon but I haven't checked
Oh yeah you mean the augment stuff. You wanna get those too, together with modules and upgrades.
Check the pins for a comment from me with advice on events. Will be harder if you don't have badges, but ~18 months ago I could often rank top 10 in events by doing what it says (with few / no badges).
hey kf im thinking more about the cells solver and i wanna ask your opinion on smth
Am all ears ๐
what exactly is the "value" that the solver is trying to maximise? my first idea is income/(cost*time)
time is the time to buy the items to get the income
i think this makes sense but i wanna get a 2nd opinion
Increase in income/s for cost?
so just income/cost?
I'd say income/s rather than income. But depends on your definition.
income is amount/s already?
amount/s^2 /nsrs
like your income is your gain in currency over time
Irl I would say my income doesn't necessarily include time. It is a monetary value only. Hence my terminology. But it's swings and roundabouts.
lol is that a directly translated phrase
Feel free to disagree ๐
it could also depend on the context
but i think here since we already have a word that doesnt include time (currency/money) then income can be used as is
Okay. Definitions. Sorted. ๐
anyway its besides the point, i think (currency/s)/cost not taking into account time to gain that currency/s
Arch Dux has a scoring system in his 'Ultimate Beyond Data Spreadsheet' thing btw
like if you gain 10 income for 1 cost but it takes you a day, instead of the 1 income for 1 cost but it takes a second
I agree. Time to gain the currency is a distraction.
is there a command for roadmap
sorry i realise i didnt finish the sentence you replied to lol
i meant that the time to gain that income is important (like in this scenario)
In the Semblance channel? /Roadmap? /Help? It's out of date though. Electorus's roadmap in Art is much better.
oh rlly? let me check it out
Ah. So predictive, rather than momentary?
yeah
cause im assuming this will look far into the future of a run
(altho in the case of events, finishing quick might be more important)
Hmm. I tend to buy momentarily. But then I wait till I can buy at least one of everything.
i only have the primary sim one, can you send this one?
oh i do too, but i think if it were more optimal to wait to buy something it should be done
Predictive - you going to consider future effect of upgrades too?
NOOOO
i should ping instead actually, can you send this doc?
all good
for the events i think i can get away with just a textfile describing the optimal path, but for the more complex sims i plan to do more involved things
I dont like matcha ๐ญ
Electorus beat me ๐
lol
You probably won't like ||redacted|| either.
I look at it too much it comes up in Google search right after I type 'Ultimate' lmao
Ah. I was using the Discord search.
ah i see, the score here is based on the initial state of the generator, while what im looking for is for continual gameplay
like the finished product will be a path like:
- buy 2 of gen A
- buy upgrade A
- buy 3 of gen B
etc etc
So... counting upgrades too?
yes
itll be instructions for the "optimal play"
Buy Planet Earth first for sure at least
Then Primordial soup
After that... let the imagination begin /j
lol
im trying to tackle events first since theyre simpler
the only things you can do are buying upgrades or generators
(and are only effected by themselves)
Anyway, with definitions this seems sensible. But units are t^-2 units (not necessary to be non dimensional, but may not be a good sign).
I'm ot near anything I can use to sanity check.
yeah thats what i was worried about too
i mean an argument can be made that splitting income up isnt valid cause its treated differently? but i dont think that flies
(valid as in makes sense in reality)
Could it be considered as 'acceleration'?
its not accelerating anything tho its just a squared freqrency
Just tryna think of a physical equivalent ๐
fact
How did this become "i view income as a velocity mostly" while I was away bruh
looks shifty
not as speed?
Speed has magnitude. Velocity has direction and magnitude..
oh lmao
oh duh that makes sense
ok so angular acceleration is the only thing there measured in inverse square seconds
oh it just sent me to wrong page for one of them
how is this c2s related??
still somewhat
(radians are dimensionless so i dont think this counts)
yeah
Only if you're measuring 'spatial-acceleration'. Other things can accelerate.
I shall ponder. But gotta head for now.
Change of production rate
these guys loaded
but that'd be c/t^2 (c is currency)
surely the cost of an item matters?
wait does it?
it'd be accounted for with the time part tho, since c=c/t*t
the time itself encodes the cost, since the only way to make currency is with time
if anything, cost and time are just off by multiples of a number (and that number being your income!)
I've got to sleep for real but this was helpful
smart
Until we meet again
have a nice sleep
thx I'll cyall
that thing in the right corner or buy button is recomendation?
what I should get next
and is it always correct?
use it as an indication
this mollusk guy kinda ahh
yea
You're in a call?
do they know
โฆ.
charge your phone bruh
Hi
are yall sure the Crystal's only require 21day?
Cause I'm at almost 10 days and it's only about 63x boost
And it says the maximum is 1000x
~504h
Uh it's 507
Later it's growth is near +0.003* every second
It says that the maximum is 1000x boost
But I'm not even in the hundreds range
Hello
Exponential growth, that's why. It starts out very slow, it's only in the last day or so that the Time Crystals are relevant at all.
Btw, do you wanna friend on the app?
Sure
Iโll dm you my username

๐ญ
isnt it kinda unfair im competing with people that have 30 badges in this event
I thought I found a bug that's why I asked
BIGCUBE lore
honestly i got top 10 in maths aswell where i only had 1 set of badges
it increased and increased compounding so 1 day u get 0.001 a second and the other u get 0.005 a second
it works so that it doubles in about the same time as it did before
the most useful code known to mankind
If you aren't willing to go hard when it comes to getting Top 10, when you only have a few (or no) badges for an event, it's best to just start day 1, focus on getting the badges, and ignoring rank. When you've done, say, 4 runs of an event (so, 120% bonus), then maybe try for Top 10.. you won't need to go nearly as hard to do well in it
Its possible to get top 10 I was like 15 last event
I agree, it's possible.. that's why I said "willing to go hard"
but starting day 1, id rather start late and give it a shot
yeah, starting day 1 is a.. nonstarter. Heh
top 25 is pretty much guranteed with a single run if you start late enough
Tea event is strange. You cant tap for tea itself, so clicking/nanobots are just timewaste. Its the most chill event i ever had 
Or i miss something.
Seems like people are just non competing too. Im top 10 without any effort this event with 0 badges. Or lucky division 
Aye, 25 not too hard. But top 10 ...
Not started it yet, but can't you tap in the garden for tea cups?
I think so.
No tea only leafs
Or wait. In the garden? 
idk about the garden, didn't think to try there, but yeah, not in the event part itself. annoying. an obvious bug
Idk. To admire the garden? To make the teapot moo?
Its also not on the teapot. Only the edges of the garden
Hmm. So teapots don't moo. Fair enough.
Same. Cos ads.
๐ง ๐ฆ
(In another event there is a ||mooing thing||. In case you think I'm going mad).
You probably mean cheese
Not subtle was I. Lol.
did they remove all of the beyond trophies except pioneer 10
Look at logits
Wait a second
Pioneer 10 is logits
You should see the others there 
I think you can only see them when you're in Beyond though?
Huh. Has that changed? I coulda sworn I could only see one of them outside of Beyond before.
Nvm.
Its like looking behind your couch. You never scroll that far down
Upgrades or Modules are better to prioritize with Darwin bits?
I'd say Modules
Depends where your game is at and what you're prioritising.
But the cheap Upgrade stages are very cheap.
Otoh if you have the full amount for a module, also worth It (if it boosts something relevant).
My augments are 70-100/each upgrades are 18
Iโve gotten all the modules outside of the new Mu one
Augments are basically the same as a few of the Entropy Boost or Idea Boost Upgrades. Just with pretty models.
idk if this is like a newgen question but should i buy this
It progresses the game so ye
what does it do
Js make sure to buy it while it's glitching out
while itโs what
Glitching
You can eyeball how much it'd cost to buy the Upgrades that have the same effect as what you care about from Mu. Whichever is cheapest (Upgrades or Mu) buy that.
can you elaborate on that
Join us
Hopefully reiniciando will fix it ๐
Current beta looks still unpolished. So at least like 2 more weeks
Plenty of time to finish my 21d run

its interesting to see so many ppl from around the world
Maybe a 2nd 21day run ...
Second breakfast i doubt. dont want to let my PC run 24/7 
Also nothing worth to buy anymore after this one.
You're never gonna catch up to Sepheria with an attitude like that!
(Not that that's your goal)
Impossible anyways. I will always be behind in event badges which means in every department of production
21 days is like 5 events?
I got 50 badges. Other people Like 800 
6 or 7 events
- 2 events a week.
Not many have 800+ though. As a proportion of players.
Relatively i will catch up too. I can always talk it sweet 
Just need to play 10 years.
Then people have like 3000 badges and i 2200.
Relatively not a big difference anymore 
(numbers are pulled out of my ass. Dont quote me)
"Then people have like 3000 badges and i 2200." โSeyz
My target is to get 50% of the badges and finish my numerology..
Think I need ~100 more?
Heh, noone not Beta probably can. Or that didn't use the same exploit I did. RL84 now. All things on the Metabit part of the RE tree bought, or will be in a few minutes.
So only 7 Runs each is the goal
only a few years i guess
Congrats!
Thanks! But most of that is just me being lucky discovering an exploit by total accident, then using it.
E360, actually
Damn crazy, isn't ur entropy atleast e190/s then
You may have accidentally discovered it, but I saw you working hard to keep ahead.
Congrats are in order imo ๐.
Thanks then!! ๐ .. yes, it did take quite a bit of work. And lots of reboots even before that, up to 969 now.
Not sure yet, just finishing up a halfway-done empty sim run
Ig, e360 means u got idea/s + entropy/s at e350/s
the exploit he means is the one we've all been using lul
E183 for Entropy, when I don't have the autoclicker going, at a mid-point empty sim run, mind you
Damn, still crazy numbers
No.. the exploit I used (not currently) isn't one that is known, as far as I know.
Oh nvm then lol
But ofc am using Empty Sim Run as well, which itself is an exploit, yeah, using that too
Pretty sure Sepheria discovered another exploit. Doesn't mean they didn't work hard - and I saw them working hard. At the very least until they found that one (whatever it is).
Oh, and for those that care, the node that comes off Entropy Booster XI is || one that gives 5 research chips || as I kinda expected it would.
So EB XI is the last one of those atm?
Yes, that's right
Ok, going to start another empty sim run now, I imagine I'll cash it out after the next update drops
WHAT
I ranked a Beyond ||Great Attractor|| trait. Only 3 months now till I can buy another one. Whoop.
||75 T-Rexs||
Anyone else remember when you got a time estimate for how long it would take to get to the next primary simulation level?
I miss that
It let me plan ahead
I finally got galactic nucleus
You still can figure it out, though. Assuming you aren't doing an empty sim run, you can look at the amount of XP you get per second, and the amount of XP you have, and the amount you need for the next level.. and with that, do a little very easy math.
.. ofc if you can see the blue circle visibly lengthening as you watch, the math isn't really all that necessary ๐
I am not dead
Are we still at 21 days after the update?
I think so
Allright, thanks. 16 days to find out
im not good at that math ๐ญ
Its in E(insert number here)
It's very basic math. If you can do multiplication or division, you can do it, easy.
Still, Iโd rather not have to solve it myself
I just liked the time estimate because it was helpful
Well.. you do. It's not hard to eyeball it, however.
I have difficulty solving problems like this
Iโd rather see all the zeroes at once
But that doesnโt work here
Which is why the time estimate was helpful for me
1 difference in E values: less than a minute. 2 difference: a couple minutes. 3 difference: 20ish minutes. 4 difference: a few hours. 5 difference: a few days. 6+ difference: you're staying where you are for now.
You donโt have to be rude
I was just saying its helpful
And that I miss it
I'm not being rude, I'm just trying to be helpful, and you did say you had difficulty with the math. Now you don't have to do any math.
The way you phrased it felt rude /gen /nm
You said โEasy.โ at the end
Well, I'm sorry you took it that way.
.
Fixed. Sorry. I meant "Easy" in the sense of being able to read what's there, not in that the math was whatever it was for you
Youโre good
I'm watching figure skating at the Olympics and they're skating to bolero and my head jerked up thinking "cells?"
Hello, I have a question regarding the 21d start: Why should I not buy anything for 21d instead of just playing the game "normally" (buying nodes and generators) for 21d and then reboot?
beacauser the first time the meqta bits fill p they require less i think,and when you have the 21 day multiplayer you use the low requirments to get A LOT of stuff
i just think it works like this
like 60%
bc the multipliers on the time nodes are (basically) used at the point when you buy a generator. If you do a normal run and let that do it's thing for 21 days, then almost all of the generators you buy will be at a very low multiplier when talking about the Time nodes specifically.. whereas if you don't buy any generators until the 21d3h elapses, all of them will be at the capped multipliers... so, a huge difference in entropy, ideas, metabits, knowledge... literally millions of times better if you have all the Time nodes.
interesting, I thought the metabit/knowledge production was based on your entropy/idea income
It is. I didn't say how many millions ๐
Damn what a way to play a game, I just bought Metabit Time Crystal II and will try out not doing anything for 21d
thx guys
Put it this way: the difference between 0 min and 21d3h where it caps, is the product of all the capped Time node multipliers. For Entropy, that's 2.5E16 times. E21 for ideas.
E6 of that happens at about or on day 21, when the Time Crystals cap
It works best when you haven't got anything hugely useful to buy in the reality engine.
That too. I always do quick sim reboots to get the "easy"/cheap reality engine nodes first, when an update drops.
Ofc, this may change in future updates. Kinda suspect it will, bc 21 day "empty sim run" strategy is so immensely superior.
Now, if they changed that 2.5E16 to, say, 100.. that would make quick sim reboots superior again. If it was 1000 then.. it wouldn't be. Somewhere in-between... well.... "it depends", I guess, and I would guess be what they'd aim for.. though I guess it also depends on how much they want people to do the idle thing in Primary. Or I guess they could also mess with the cap times.. one week could be good. Lots of ways they could finesse the math here, if they don't want to get rid of the time nodes altogether.
never thought i could reach first place on the tea event
I think they want to encourage medium runs atm, based on things they've said. D'know how they feel about empty runs.
You're exactly 1 CL ahead of me.
2 hours ago ๐. You?
i started like 5/6 ago
You're a bit faster than me then. ๐
actually where im at rn is like exactly where i was 1 hour into the event but on the first sim level
Def faster then!
How much xp do u have?
I have 5467 but bc I'm in div 21, I'm only 77
Ok now hold on I know I've talked about this before but now after knowing that they made it exponentially increase there is no way the devs didnt intend for the empty sim strat to exist
They made it increase exponentially which means they intended for the method to be "waiting till the last few days so the time crystal maxes out" AND they made it have such a huge cap
Like maybe they didnt intend for it to be this OP but they sure did intend for the empty sim run strat
They intended to give players who prefer longer runs a valid way of playing.
Don't think they planned the empty part though.
Wdym by longer runs
Hold on how expensive was the first time crystal for metabit
They didn't want players to have to reboot every couple of days if they wanted to play efficiently.
1st one? Maybe 3000?
noice
Or have to reboot every 10 minutes. Or 5 minutes. Certainly they didn't mean a 2.5E16 or 2.5E21 difference, that's insanely huge.. or if they did mean it, they'll show it by NOT nerfing it, next update.
huh..?
all the people who arent on the cheater lb didnt ๐ญ
Idk about any date change bug, but they did NOT fix the 2x time progress for empty sim strat, not in Live at least, I can't speak for beta
Really?
I didn't do the date change thing.
if theres any time abnormality the game penalizes you
... and the leaderboard remains broken, in Live
by putting u on the cheater lb
yeah we will see someday
if it gets improved
I kinda don't care about lb lol
It's oblivious to the 2x time node progress
I mostly care about gamin
were not talking about that were talking about time changing
Almost some games have it
the discussion here had nothing to do about time changing
^^
I think I saw someone say that in beta it ||was fixed in Meso and Beyond on steam, but not events||.
hmm, || events || would be an obvious gap. As you know.
For me, changing the date stops it being a game.
For me it doesn't for some reason
I like difficulty games
Yeah, idk why Crimison brought that up.
But this type just bores me in a sec
Then forget it
they just started a new topic thats what happend
nothing too strange
.. forget what? grin
Just forget it
Talk anything else
๐
Did u pray?
i lowkey think the diamond achievement for mollusks is possible in live game
Yea
It is
Just time consuming
It was the "Let's be real, anyone already did that.." bit that made it seem like an intended continuation. That's why I commented.
Yes, on a 21 day run myself, started it today.
Some times I forgot discord exists
fair
im gonna like wait till i get 2 oc mettabits and then do a 21 day run
I never do
.. and Cells is deterministic, no luck involved, so no need to "pray" in that sense either ๐
except for getting into the right divission in explorations and getting the right yellow thingies
its always been cat event that had me getting into a divission with so many tryhards ๐ญ
idk why its always cats
On my spare device, with a file I copied over today (8 days into a run) my file has ~400 Molluscs. I haven't bought VNN yet.
my main got at around 400 aswell and i still got atleast 3 traits for molusks to get and only 2 days into my current run
Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. Got the 500 achieves for Mollusks and Amphib, but not 1000. So that's going to be out of reach for now. Wish I'd thought to pay attention to how close I got, when I cashed in my half-done empty sim run though.
ive been grinding the tea event all day
im at #11
but I havent drank any tea yet, which means I haven't put to practise what I learned
.. I thought it was Coffee you're supposed to grind, not Tea? On account of it being a bean that you gri...... nevermind, I'll show myself out. grins
I avoid caffeine so I'm limited as to what teas I can drink
Indeed. Most tea has caffeine. I hope you can still have Chocolate? I avoid caffeine too.
maybe drinking tea irl boosts ur progress who knows
Im not a sweet tooth but chocolate is fine
bro is at 5k science points
what place are u?
it does not.. I've been drinking chocolate, not tea, during my progress!
i drank too much tea
Hmm. Now I fancy some hot chocolate.
I was already hungry, staph...
i just send a screenie of my place, im first rn
if only the chocolate event was on...
I think your internet is lagging
ah yes my fav c2s event: explore chocolate
they got an event for everything
i send it like 10 mins ago
we need a pirate themed event ๐ with sharks ๐
maybe on the next talk like a pirate day ๐๏ธ
yar har har
sadly, there is no Chocolate event... unless I'm totally spacing on it rn
how are u at 185% u said u had 130% boost
nvrmind
i think if they add an event, we gonna get something chemistry related cuz we quite litterally got litterally nothing related to chemistry ingame rn except for references in traits but never really going into it in depth
I think chemistry could be fun though, but prob don't get your hopes up.
My prediction is that they'll do Chemistry in the form of a "Periodic Table" branch of the game, as a new thing once Beyond is complete. The devs expressed considerable interest and mentioned when they were last here that... well, they didn't say anything quotable, but... yeah. So, it's a possibility!
Yeah, they were talking in beta chat the other day and said their focus is on ||primary (and Beyond)||.
yeah and maybe go into quarks, neutrons, protons, electrons and stuff first to build ur first hydrogen atom (like up and down quark, then proton, then hydrogen as generater, then neutron, and then deutrium
or like make the periodic system one generator so the event is unique cuz it only got 1 generator
who knows
crime event ๐ญ
Omg Iโd love that
It could go downwards from the currently existing amino acids
Into different types of molecules
Then atoms
Then protons, electrons, neutrons, etc
Then quarks and neutrinos
Then down to quantum level and the planck length
Or maybe we could have another permanent simulation
Like โSize Simulatorโ or something
It could go up to the observable universe and down to the planck length
Hello
Greetings
can you post the last part after discord/gg - i can still join
Hello
Hi
Hey
Greetings
Howโs it going?
Good
Guys
What?
they sent another message but its now deleted
im 1vg away from getting to ep 18 beyond
7 billions dollars to CL
I did chat lol
Wait why do I have 10 million mutagen all of a sudden? I had 300k until a few days ago
How do I get my Google play save onto my steam if possible
Or is that something for when you reach max prestige?
whatโs the best way to get metabits
do I just get one vigintillion primordial power
If there were to be a Plants extension to the main sim, would you guys want some sort of extra currency, upgrade feature, or reality engine branch?
Nvm
Branch from the eukarytoe and like use entropy or sum
Uh
Maybe 30 of the new level up things
The blue one
Idk what it's called its all new to me
All 3
what to expect in division 666 at events
happymod kids
scripters
bug abusers
time travelers (people whose change time)
unfortunate users who were innocent
branch from chloroplasts
from my past progress on a other device where i got to episode 26 (its broken now) celestial bodies are series one
if i can recall i think series 2 objects are called interstellar objects
it helps you get back where you left off from the last episode pretty much
not quite
s2 objects are both interstellar and galaxy
like s1 isn't just the main solar system, you have kuiper belt + sedna/planet x
i know
i forgot the object before the oort cloud what was it again
hills cloud
ah right
Y did Interstellar Medium get its own episode?
Nah
wait everything is so disconnected
if vulture did get released, then where's eagle?
I assume coming in a future update
Somewhere ๐๏ธ ๐ฅ
hey what episode do you get oort cloud zoom
i have barely any memory of anything past ep 15
oh uhh
yeah hold on
ep 15 : oort cloud x hills cloud
ep 16 : interstellar medium
ep 17 : alpha centauri solar system
then phase 2
i havent done phase 2 yet
you want some spoilers?
-# not recommended
yeah so we render exoplanets now
i think stardust goes up to the tgs
even more than atom count in the universe
thats all i remember
oh and theres more constellations for you to finish โ๏ธ
sorry cant i could if i was in my space nerd era at 10
insane
What do I list?
everything in phase 2
Liszt? I dont think theres any liszt in the soundtrack
sorry twin ๐
?
Shoot
There r no threads
oh cant make threads here whattt
