Celestial Foam? help

[rabitwarior2]

just reached celestial foam and HOO BOY am i confused, seems like every time I harvest some it's ANNIHILATING my Hell Gem stockpile, and making an obscene amount of Beta-Pylene? I don't keep any Celestial foam, and none of the new buildings seem to be any kind of containment chamber like for Chromalit. Anybody want to explain what I'm supposed to do?

The only thing I could figure was the top item in your buildings. I'm currently fighting the issue where the crazy beta has totally slowed down and I need like another 1.8 million of it...good luck!

got stuck at the same point. thought if I destroy the excavating channel and rebuild it. I could better prepare myself. but nope. all the hell gems get converted so can't rebuild the tier 2 excavating channel -_-

[Mr Wolf]

Build a 2nd source of hell gems if you need them. I've got a small 3 cube build just off to the side, that i use to get hell gems/beta elements, they don't seem to get converted, only in the area with the foam. The beta elements are so slow atm. I'm up to nearly 700k. Still a long way to go. Wouldn't be so bad if the cost of buildings wasn't so expensive at this point.

Im stuck here as well. Just now at ~19k depth the radioactive stuff stopped spawning as well. I dont have anywhere near 2M of either the black or the red stuff, maybe 500k each. I was thinking about rebuilding my mine off to the side, but any gems i get back from destroying old building just get annihilated :/

Looks like when you hit 64 green gems they are lost. There is an audible sound when this happens. Thought it was based on a time factor, but its actually when you hit the 64 amount.

Can someone please explain this mechanic to me? It itches me that I don't understand it and I can't read it anywhere -.-*

So restarting is the only option because I reached 840k foam in basically no time at all :-D It would takes days to counter this.

I got the upgraded rock in the north but then stuck at the general decay reactor (it seems this is the next progression). I'm at like half the required resources but Elmerine and Qanetite generation is just too slow and I'm unsure what to do at this point. Depth ~21k.

Btw the rock is generating some new cubes around itself periodically which are non-interactive at least for now.

I'm at 30k depth, and about 700k reds away from the upgraded rock. Looks like once you get the upgrade you are safe to get up to 512 hell gems before they are eaten, correct?

Yes it annihilates at 512 hell gems instead so you'll be able to build anything that requires <512 hell gems.

That's good. Does the foam at least start to calm down on the cubes? Or is that what the Celestial irradiators are for?

After a while the foam becomes your new souce of chromalit and red cubes. Then the rest of the resources you obtain from chromalit decay or normal conversion machines.

[Mr Wolf]

Ah ok, cheers for that!

Switch to the beta branch guys. The dev rebalanced the cost of the rock research site, you can likely afford it now and continue playing

[Arcanestomper]

Wow that is a lot cheaper.
