Can't Progress past Lvl 100

[GhostPants]

Hello, I'm having troubling and not sure if it's a bug or I'm just missing something. I can't make it past Lvl 100, I've broken the 3 health crystals but the healing blocks still heal themselves too much to destroy them. I also can't craft any other drill because I don't have the right tetris pieces with just the 3 ores found above 100 (you can't flip the pieces vertically or rotate). Am I missing something?

You need just more damage drill. Having right tetris pieces and get full set always give 4 enchants(you don't need them so much for first 500 lvls) .I'm compelte all lvl without correct enchantments excepts 700-900, especially 900 bcs it's a little hard AF. You can flp pieces but only make them mirrored ( press F button)

You don't need to fill all the grids to create a drill.
Just place 1–2 ores and press the create button.
(Sorry for the misunderstanding; I plan to fix this soon.)

Just picked this up and I was wondering the same thing. So if I understand correctly, I need to create a drill that does enough damage to break through the "blue zone" along level 100?

Yes, for first time it's better to concentrate to get more dmg for drill, later at lvl 400 you can restart underground and grind items.

If you wanna some enchants i'm recomendate for first time get quick start + dig speed up + crit chance and flame torch+crit torch ( it's help you to see where is treasure and next globes.

Later in endgame the best build it's bombardier battery blast.It's will be battery blast + bomber + destiny ( for extra percentages, bcs it's give +10% for trigger stuff) + hungry totem.

Don't make energy high otherwise it's hard to use this build. Get maximum 70-80 energy upgrade ( i'm make it's max(110) and have a problem with this build rn bcs trying to find hungry totem T_T)

Haha, it's good I noticed this trap early. I left my energy at 10 and have bombs every 2nd hit with just 1 battery blast enchant and some destinies/lucky haniwas without wasting totem slot on it. There should be an upgrade to reduce the cap for energy using cogs which you can add or remove when you wish. Otherwise it feels like a really annoying trap that either makes you lose a totem slot or makes you unable to try large energy cap builds.

P.S
But i'm really be gratefull if there will be 4 totems , even if 4 last cost 300 coins and 100 black cogs.

It's a sacrifice of something. You make a mistake and then has to sacrifice a totem and ore tree slots for it. I am so glad I didn't make it, I would have stopped playing early if I did because I wouldn't be able to min-max as efficiently. It's such a nice build, but it's so bad that some early upgrade can easily break it if you are not careful and then you need to sacrifice things to get it working again.

Sacrificing some cogs to revert it seems fine as cogs are technically limitless, but sacrificing of any limited resource like totem or blessing feels bad. Maybe it should just be moved into cogs instead of the coin upgrades.

Unfortunately I did not wait and upgraded energy to full 70, with my current(end game?) build I can trigger battery blast every 2 hits when it could have been every hit. I had to farm quite a bit to get it down to 2 hits though.
My build is here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3390452949 + other screenshots on my profile.

I would recommend improving a third drill. You only have a useful bomber++ out of 4 enchants on it. You have good luck and rich blessings in ore tree but don't use those enchants so they don't give you anything (unless I am the one misunderstanding how blessings work). It could be useful to make a new drill with at least 3 out of these: bomber, another battery blast for higher chance of success, destiny also for a higher chance of all triggers, good luck for higher multiplier for drops. Collector on one haniwa is also pretty useless, I think. You can get as much damage as you want with cogs and you don't need damage in blast builds.

Blast builds don't really work in higher level ruins as it's hard to pass dps checks when you collect all extra purple curses, but for normal 1-999 run and level 1 ruin farming they are great.

For higher level ruins I used base range blast drill, several lantern enchants and a totem that purifies purple vases with drill and carefully cleared through levels collecting all the anti-curse to drop curse on each dps check to 0.

Welp for bombardize build 999 lvl i'm use something like this

I'm still need make some skills ++ ,make ore tree better and etc, but i'm almost destroy all map fully.

For ruins

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3390565871


it's only bomber + twice and many flame torch + crit torch thing ( i'm still need to remake him for better one lol)

I'm think in endgame build when torches places asap i'm don't need to worry about blow up everything lol.

Wow, I am envious of your first drill, it's 4 out of 4. I tried to craft a good drill with 4 useful skills, but always failed so stopped at 3/4. I managed to create a build with infinite storage (so I can clear 1-999 without warping back to the top), 5xGood Lucks and 9 bomb range but it may need more improvements - can increase range by 3 if I get 2 haniwas with bomber++, can get more range if I switch some good lucks to bomber, can get more range/good luck if I had patience to craft 4/4 drills instead of 3/4, can get fused bombs which have double range if I manage to find a blueprint for a blessing that can fit three certain ores perfectly (I am using good luck, smart storage and a trash one to make it perfect, but batteryblast, smart storage and something else, preferrably still good luck, would have been better).

The zone's width is 57 tiles, so 9 range covers only 19/57=1/3 of the zone. There is certainly a lot to improve here.

This first drill use 280 of my hammer + 50 try for usual money T_T,
I'm just use a speed hack from cheat engine to make animations instant and don't wait 5-7 sec of waiting, but yeah it's will be a hard way.

Make a two stats it's always hard as hell, even when i'm input 3-4 bomber ore into blueprint it's still give me wrong enchantments "almost " every time. I'm yesterday see 3 bomber in one blueprint, but it's just rare as hell and useless for me bcs i'm need other stats too.

At least i'm make "top ruins build" for me , and don't worry about blow up cursed pots.Totems the same as prev pic, In ore tree rn only hunger totem ore. But this build a little slow bcs there is more survavibility then destruction :D

P.S Last four enchants need to will be crit torch x2 + battery blast , but i'm give up after 100 hammer(also haniwa with blast it's feels like a curse bcs sometimes ghost blow up) T_T

P.SS ok change last 4 enchant to batter blatst ++ and crit chance x2 ++, make haniwa with crit torch( but i'm thought crit torch ++ there is enough, need adjust build for better things hmm)
