Slow progress tips?

[Titanius Anglesmith]

Hey, I've been playing this game for a while, and I'm at W2-355 . My next level is 271 hours away, and all of my upgrades are orders of magnitude in money than what I'm generally getting. I'm getting maybe 1 Quadrillion per day, and everything costs hundreds of Quadrillions. Also for the last stage of the reactor upgrades, I need the He3 which I'm getting a handful a day, and i'll need thousands to get the upgrade.

My question is, is the game designed to just take weeks per km, or am I doing something wrong?

[:D]

it's designed this way

I am at W2-380 KM

hire some super miner with drilling speed
helps a lot

[Titanius Anglesmith]

thanks folks, im on 8/10 moon miners, so can't upgrade them yet, and im saving up 110q for a 400% drill speed upgrade which im hoping will help a little. I'll keep plugging away at the chests and the caves for now, cheers

Yeah the helium-3 grind is one of the first real bottleneck in the game. Had to reshape my relics loadout at that point to have several divine elemental pikes whilst getting the Elemental buff from the reactor constantly up. Also whenever you're about to open a lot of chests make sure you have both gold nugget and miner drill speed buff active.
I went for a 100% timelapse bonus from books of time to compensate the fact that the drill takes a while on its own.

There are several levels where He3 production dramatically increases, W2-401 being the first. Once you hit that level, your supply increases a lot faster.

nah i m at 1609 km....he3 still takes a while to collect and don´t get me stated on the update costs lv 30 drill engine 11 quintillion and i m at 28 quintillion it takes months to collect enough money .....

[ღHoloღ]

and the last material on moon is at 1635 ..so this still takes a long long long time to reach and lv 31 engine costs me 200 quintillion.......and lv 30 engine 54 quintillion......it´s a real grind....

[ღHoloღ]

so if you think it´s hard to get 1 quadrillion per day......wait till you need quintillions :X ..good luck

Lv 30 engine parts are no biggie. Get 3 sdivine parkly distraction relic and try to get Toth the Wise as super miner. Level him a little and you'll be able to cut the price by a substancial amount thanks to his buff. You could even stack more sparklies to cut the price even more, dunno if you can make it free though i think the hard cap of 80% can't be bypassed.
By that point Helium-3 should only be stockpiled in prevision for doing einsteinum bombardment 3. I'm at 1620km and have like 18k in stock.

After a few tests, 2 divine Sparkly Distractions and a level 10 Thoth are enough to reach the reduce cost cap of 80%.
If I had a better idea of your upgrades all across the baord i could have a better guess as to why you struggle to have a good income.
Like Chest compressor level / Compression speed. Relic loadout. Super Miner at your disposition. Level of your earth/moon trade station.
Do you maintain buffs consttanly up ?Do you have a good reactor setup and jave a constant energy production ?
Aroind that stage of the game you should be able to do several Quints a day.

Changing the time and date on your pc may be unethical, but so is the game

W-2 627, 525 hrs.
Prioritize drill speed above everything. The game is not an idle game, it's a clicker game. Stockpile your highest value resources up to your storage limit and make sure you have a double midas buff and sell them to ensure the double profit (big cheese if you can get it too). Relics should be max timelapse with pay-cuts, sparkly distraction isotope picks and golden shovels, all have to be divine to make satisfactory progress. lvl 10 Thoth is pretty much mandatory and the game has a tendency to give him to you even though he is legendary so just keep at those void chests.
You also need 24-7 isotope, mining and drill boosts which is easier to manage than it sounds after getting the last buff lab expansion. It may not be obvious but mining boosts effect your rewards from chests, traders, monsters, everything.
For extras I'd recommend Zaouli, Gramps, Master Mined, Dino-Rider (one of each area is a good boost to bring it above the game's baseline value and fill the rest with super miners that boost drill speed, the more the better.
No matter what though this game requires long sessions. It's not an idle game, it's a clicker game (and a good clicker game at that)

Edit: If you are having problems getting enough He3, just go deeper into the mine, it accumulates faster at greater depths.
