Need more gold!

[Soldier_N7]

So I bought all the artifacts and for now I have 68 Smurts. I sold all my tradeable items. I need to buy Ultra Bazooka upgrade and 6 cakes (how many of them there are?) for obtaining more HP. So I need a few thousands. THOUSANDS! Should I go to work in a factory? Should I distribute newspapers? Another ways?

um yea... so since you cant sell the qulaity hooks anymore, there is... approximatley 0 ways to make decent money. you can fish, with poor hooks, thats worth liek 11 smurt every 15 minutes. totally worth the effort, right.

[Soldier_N7]

And what about cakes? How many of them did you find?

[blox9000]

You can fish for blougnuts, the not rotten kind, then give them to the cops for around 50 smurt.

The only plausible way now is to use a tool like Cheatengine :(

How did you even cheatengine wuppo?!

[Marisa Reset]

Just put on a podcast or something to listen to, then go to the factory and talk to the boss every 11 jumps for 20 smurt each time. Unless that was nerfed in the update, I haven't checked.

When using CE, don't try to use exact values. All the numbers show up as huge integers that are dissimilar to their in-game counterparts, so your best bet is to do increased/decreased/same value searches and just grab handfuls of addresses. Then just add a zero or two to the ones you think are the money value. (I've only cheated health so far for that friggen Bankkrent, but I'm getting EXTREMELY tempted to cheat my gold now)

I removed the hook exploit because... It wasn't fun at all? Didn't know this apparently was the main source of income, so sorry? :( I have some plans to make smurt easier to acquire in an update. I think I'll open the beta channel soon so I can update a bit more. -Lars

Thanks for your consideration, it's cool to see so much effort being put into the game post-release. Cheers.

Thanks! We've spent years on this, so there's no reason to not give it a little more love if things can be improved/balanced out a bit better, right? :D

Also, if anyone has cool ideas for places to earn smurt (without adding entirely new content of course), please share your ideas! I've already heard "smurt reward for beating Bram", "more smurt for filmstrips", which I think are good ideas, and I'll be adding them too.

I found a decent place to earn smurt, if you go to bliekopolis an fight fnakkers, whiule using the entrance to Redav Kned's house, they pay out abotu 10 smurt each, it adds up very fast .

i like how those ideas were the ones i told Acex yesterday, haha., did he tell you those? xD

lowering prices is the best soultion, filmstrips earnign mroe could help, but to those that have them all already, this wouldn't help.

If bran paid smurt that would be nice, but his fight is so easy, it would seem liek he would pay very litttle? I don't know, just my feeling on that one.

Also- can we sell upgrades to gumgumgun back to any NPC? that would help alot. I don't need all of them in my inventroy haha

I think bram is quite difficult for that moment in the game :P But not if you're pro and you go back with all your upgrades etc. Didn't realise I locked the gumcores. I'll fix that too.

I want to avoid making the items cheaper, as making smurt really is part of the gameplay in popocity. I think the main focus should be on end-game money making. Some other ideas I have: Make the kneft drop a lot more smurt in Breevis' cave (after defeating Breevis), and make the central store pay more smurt for some of the items that you can buy from the wumgarden/roof and the other way around.

[Tiabat]

I made a ton of smurt by going to the island with the wum blowing bubbles and getting a blusser blower from them. Then you use the warp mask to teleport, allowing you to keep the blower. It sells for 159 smurt each at the central shop and the blusser island shop (ideal since it's on the way to the island with the wum anyway). Rinse and repeat. The wum has an infinite number of blowers it seems. I guess you would need to do this about 10-20 times to get enough for everything? Still, it's *probably* (?) currently better than most options.

[Soldier_N7]

When can I get warp mask? Should I get it after finishing the game or earlier?
