IS mars fast?

[pizzascience]

So LOT'S of people said they completed mars in one day, but it has been a few and the moon is twice as far(I started at the same time). So why is this?

There are some crazy bonuses which trigger quite fast. The terrorformers have some x333 bonus which can be triggered around every 100 terrorformers. Given that heck has some x66 bonuses around every 100 makes that you have some crazy spurts at times and are able to double in minutes.

That makes tons of sence thanks but I still didn't complete mars in one day though.

Mars has only a few large unlocks such as Terraformers and Life pods, but on the moon (IT´S NOT A PLANET BY THE WAY, IT´S A SATELLITE) mostly everything is expensive and takes much longer to unlock.

Moon stalls drasticly once you reach 450 lasers, i have spent more time at 450 lasers than all other points in the game combined since after the update. Mars is average speed until you reach octodecillion and get the 33x everything upgrade, from that point on it goes into hyperdrive, i've gone from octodecillion to quinquagintillion in 1 day.

and the Moon is not a satelite! it's a moon you dumbass! geez

When you load planets you get the moon as an option so i guess thats incorrect.

it's all of them because it is a planet in this game,it's the moon and a scientific name for moons are satelites.

The scientific name for the moon is "Moon" and this is the agreed upon international astronomical name as stated by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) that states and i quote: The IAU formally recommends that the initial letters of the names of individual astronomical objects should be printed as capitals; e.g., Earth, Sun, Moon, etc. "The Earth's equator" and "Earth is a planet in the Solar System" are examples of correct spelling according to these rules. quote end.

Hey! Im at 1,3 billion angels on Mars. When does the speed pick up insanely fast? I cant believe how people finished it in days?? I have played it now for more than a week. Sure, i have been idling for the most of the time, but i cant sit on my ass and play games the whole day..

I don't see how it is physically possible to do these in a day unless you pay for bonuses...

The Heck Portals x666 are pointless, same goes for Terraformer, there is a VERY SMALL margin where they are good, but beyond that they go back to the scrap heap.

Meanwhile, Men and Buggies have x99 profits left and right in the cash upgrades. (Beyond the first one very early on, there are no heck portal cash upgrades, which leads to them being awfully inefficient)

It's about aggressively keeping the x2 bonus up and aggressively resetting. Both of which people that are just playing mostly idle won't do. No gold required either way.

mobile get a bonus to the angel % and 2x if they see an add resulting in a 7x bonus to all income, usually this and/or gilding stuff on mars make it doable in a day.

Moon can be called moon or satellite, it does not matter. It's like Mike can be called human or man. Human is more common term, while man is more specific. The same here - satellite is something orbiting another object, moon is specific type of satellites that orbits planets, Moon is the name of the moon that orbits Earth. So saying that Moon is not a satellite but a moon is stupid, it's like "Mike is not a human, he is a man". Also your quote is about the moon, not moons, so it's unrelated.

If you want a source, here it is: http://www.moonconnection.com/moon-glossary.phtml
Moon — The natural satellite in orbit around the planet Earth. Also the classification for any natural satellite found in orbit around any other planet.
Satellite — Any object that orbits another celestial body.

Also the very first mention in this topic of the Moon by the other guy is weird, I don't know why he wanted to say that it's a satellite, and not a planet if no one called it a planet anyway. So while technically he was correct, it's not a planet but a satellite, it was a useless phrase that started an off-topic discussion.

Did you have any time when you did not use martians - if yes, this slowed you down x2.
Did you have any resets with more than 2x angels that took a long time - if yes, this slowed you down a lot.

If you had a single reset at 10x angels, it requires 10^2-1=99x of initial cash, while resetting at 2x angels requires 2^2-1=3x of initital cash, this means that you've spend 96/99=97% of your time with half of possible income compared to if you would have resetted once right at 2x amount of angels.
To double cash again if you don't gain any new multipliers you need x2 amount of cash, so you can double your cash several times during this time: 3 for x2, 6 for x4, 12 for x8, 24 for x16, 48 for x32. 3+6+12+24+48=93. So if you would have resetted 5 times at x2 multiplier instead of once at x10 times you would have had x32 amount of angels instead of x10. And this is without using extra upgrades that you can get with extra income during 5 resets with x2 multiplier.

So try to look at all cases where you lost some income - did not use martians or resetted too rarely and you can approximately understand how other people can do it faster. I did it in 2 and a half days, only using 2 megaticket boosts on Men and Portals (those are not actually very useful, except some short period during progression). But I was mostly playing during the morning and the evening, so I was slower than some people who could have resetted more optimally, but at least I was using Martians while I was active, so I was faster than people who did not use them.
My friend did not use martians most of the time, but he was controlling resets during the day, so he finished Mars one day earlier than me.
