i need more hollow stone

[薯条]

I've finished the game and restarted for a speed run.
but i was stuck by the annihilator which need 32 hollow stone. there is nothing i can do cus i got enough resources except hollow stone.
maybe i need 100 hollow stone before the first hollow fruit.
it's about 4-6 hours meaningless waiting, a really annoying design.
so is there anyway to speed up this progress? i'm glad to buy some hollow stone if i can.

AFAIK, the only way to speed up hollow stone production is through the hollow rock upgrades. Didn't find any way to get around the hollow rock stall between when you get your first one and when you can build your first hollow fruit. There are a couple of these stall periods in the game where no amount of optimization will help things move faster.

it was so boring in that stage, hope producer can change it

Yeah I've just hit this stage. There's... Nothing to be done but wait? Puzzle Design structures is one thing, but ONLY wait? Nah.

Spend the waiting time experimenting and coming up with more optimized machine layouts. You'll be needing them.

as i said, it's my second run.
maybe my layout isn't the best, it's enough to the next stage.
i think when the first hollow stone appears, the game is limited by it. there is nothing but wait(if you know how to build).

i have to wait too now ... have millions of each ressource ...

当然是改代码解决！

我把工厂停工了， 然后挂机等hollow stone。
I stopped everything and just wait for hollow stone spawn.

Hitting this now, absolute pain, can't even afk cause I need to pay attention to the Celestial Iradiators so my setup doesn't freeze.

I'm stuck with afk'ing the game now. I stopped all production so no resources are being spent. But i need soooo many hollow stones I fear this might be in the hundreds of hours of just afk with no production.

Wait till you need the last resource. The only way to speedup hollow stone gathering is building a few Hollow Fruits (they only progress if a hollow stone spawns so they are limited to the hollow stone spawnrate.. 100 will not be quicker as 8). You gonna need them later to get Reality (i currently have 20 because they give "Reality" kinda quick anyway. At this point the game is a 99% idle game tho... not really much you can do.

If you see a surge for hollow stone, get a Stabilizer II next to it asap - it dramatically increases the spawn rate while the surge is active.
