How to gain Helium3.

[Damiqqq]

All I want is to get all the achievements. Last 1 I need is to uppgrade reactor to lvl 5 but gosh it takes so long to get Helium3 im 335 deep in a Moon and Im getting almost nothing I used the buff from buff lab to increase chance of finding izotopes by 100% for 55 minutes and I get 0 Helium3. Any1 know how to get it faster? Right now I have only 318. (didnt sell a single1)

I believe I was at level 407 on the moon when I finally got enough He3 to upgrade the reactor. but I only had 7 moon miners..

I'm also at point, Hoping something speeds up soon. Right now thinking I'll just semi idle it for 4-6 months before Helium 3 picks up. Not sure what else to do.

do having more moon miners help get it faster?

The Main thing is time, I got to the reactor level back in August and still need 800 more He3 to get the last bombardment to level up the reactor to level 5. I'm currently at W2-382.
Anyway, get the Elemental Pike relics and if possible Divine them. I currently have 3 of them, 2 Divine and 1 Standard. Also purchase only the Elemental Pike and Drill Speed buffs from the buff lab. Obviously the Elemental Pike buff increases your chances of finding Isotopes, but the Drill Speed Potion will get you farther down where you also have a higher chance of getting He3.

I bought the elemental pike from buff lab for 605 min and it gave me same amount of he3 like I have no buff on im W2 374 deep with 7 miners. I never sold a single He3 idk how you can have 2 bombardments and need 800 more only when I gor only 400 so far. How many hrs do you have I have 1K

Like all minerals in the game. Helium3 becomes more frequent the further you are in the game. You may still be at a point where Helium3 is not as abundant. Helium3 is always pretty rare, but it will eventually speed up the further you get.

The buff just increases your chances of finding ANY isotope, so it's not a guarantee of getting any He3. However, by keeping the buff running as often as possible, you still double the amount of isotopes you are getting which again over time will also double the amount of He3 you will get. If you just look at a single buff time period, then yes you may not have gotten any He3, or the same amount as usual.
As for how I already have 2 bombardments and am on my way to my 3rd, it appears I'm a bit ahead of you. I have 5,557 hours in the game, pretty much keep it running constantly since I started back in Januaryish. I'm down to W2-383 with 8 miners, so a bit farther than you, but not absurdly more. I also have 3 Elemental Pike relics with 2 of them divine, so that gives me an additional 65% chance of finding isotopes.
As I also mentioned, pretty much all the energy I generate from the reactor goes into keeping the Elemental Pike buff activated, with any extra going into the Drill Speed buff to get farther down quicker.
So with the combination of my relics and buffs, I'm constantly running at a 165% higher chance of finding isotopes.
