Best idle game ever?

I honestly think so.

I just want ++ on this. I think the big 'secret' of why this game is so amazing is precisely because your big picture strategic choices matter. In most idle games, including FAPI, the only real strategy quickly becomes stuff like 'are you willing to go back in every 2 hours and manually prestige to hit the optimal resource gain rate - until the end of time?'

But here you can focus on synth, reactor, or whatever else - and have a very different experience, but still viable, than another player. This is also where sector 75+ falls off because there's really only one path forward, and it ends up becoming like other idle games - where it's just a waiting game, with some slight variation dependent upon interactivity rate. But the recent announcement over a rebalance in this domain seems really promising.

The only thing I can think of that's comparable to this game would be Forager, but it's more like a "normal" game with heavy idle elements, rather than being an idle game per se. Highly recommended in any case.

Any tips for 36? lol..

One of the biggest mistakes I made early in the game (which may or may not apply to your situation) is not focusing on a specific task, this game rewards focus more than the jack of all trades approach. Don't be afraid to spend some time dedicated to improving a specific area such as compute, or synth.

I'll give it a go; thanks!
