is it possible to 100% crush crush w/o autoclicker, time traveling, or purchases?

[molar eclipse]

I really wanna 100% this game without spending any money or moving back & forth in time by messing w/ computer clock. Is it possible? Does anyone have an estimate on how long it'd take? (I'm saving up diamonds rn for my last x64 boost from dailies & relationship leveling, though that's mostly stagnated by now tbh. Wish me luck!!!)

Well purchasing just gets you diamonds, logging in each day and doing the diamond chip int he events also gets you diamonds so ya, it would be possible using the diamonds you get for free to buy the boosts that you would otherwise buy with money.

Yes, it's possible, in the sense of completing the story. Exactly how long it'll take depends on how diligent you are with LTEs, but somewhere between 6-9 months is a good estimate, assuming no purchases.

You can of course speed it up significantly just with DLC girls. Darya gives you all the diamonds you'll need, and more, while Charlotte and Suzu add the best paying jobs in the game. But they're not required at all; back when I did it, none of those were available until after I'd done it.

If you mean "can all the extra girls be unlocked", then no, you do need to buy those that are listed for a cash price (currently Darya, Charlotte, Suzu, Catara, Explora, Mallory, Brie, and Lotus). However, in the case of Mallory and Lotus, you can get them at no extra cost by buying Cabin Fever or Hush Hush, respectively.

Reset bonuses without paying would be painful to collect because you have to spend a lot of time "playing" again and again to get through the early stuff, which means redoing a lot of the shorter time barriers where you need to come back just an hour or three later. There's a point where they really start shaking the tip jar but there's an upper limit to what you can buy; they don't want you to whale, just pay a bit.

That said it is definitely doable. All you need is time and pigheadedness.

Well, If you include the phone flings then in theory I don't think it's possible since you need 200 diamonds each.

If I am not mistaken LTE's are an "infinate" source of diamonds.... albeit a very slow source but, still technically infinite so in theory they should be able to get enough diamonds eventually to unlock the phone fling girls.

Would just take a long time is all with no purchases.

In regards to just "complete the game" as in just getting all of the main girls done and getting all achievements, it took me a bit over 6 months to get everything done just saving up diamonds from dailies/LTEs and only spending them on speed boosts, and even then I was only at x4096 instead of the x8192 max at the time when I actually finished the main game, so with more efficient saving you could maybe bring that down to like 5 months? Idk


But if you're thinking of getting ALL of the girls unlocked, that's a different story mainly because of the Phone Flings. It's hard to tell if they're part of the LTE rotation, Lake was also added as an LTE rather than only being locked behind the 200 diamond purchase but I don't know if any of the other ones have been up since they were added. If they are then cool just uhh, wait forever for those to show up one day like all the other LTEs and you'll be set lol

Otherwise, every new LTE is only gonna net you another 10 diamonds each. Even if you were to save up dailies for like, a year, on top of the give or take 10 LTEs every year you're looking at almost 500 post-game diamonds maximum per year completely F2P, assuming no repeated LTEs
(15 diamonds a fortnight + 10 diamonds from LTE girls every 5 weeks, I think)

So yeah the "full F2P completion" to get all of the girls (ignoring the ones in bundles you *have* to pay for obviously) is only possible if every Phone Fling girl is also part of the LTE rotation, or if the rate of new Phone Fling girls getting added slows down to like, 2 per year so you can save up to buy 1 of the older Phone Flings every 2-ish years lmao

or they decide to have a wild sale on the Phone Fling girls and make them all like 40-50 diamonds or something idk

helpful, ty all! Honestly, I'm a lot more invested in getting all the steam achievements over getting all the in-game achievements (that's a long term goal lol). While I've got your ear, I'd like to ask for a few tips:

- Rn i can get a x50 reset boost within about 20 minutes active play (currently at 1219 x128 boost), is there a particular boost I should grind to achieve or is that kinda fruitless? Currently stuck on Luna, if that helps.

- Instead of saving up for the final x64 boost (costs 180 diamonds, currently have 40) would it be more efficient to spend on gilding jobs/hobbies? Ik that might run me into a big wall later on, but again my main priority is 100% steam completion over actual 100% completion

thx for replies! ^^

At least for me I think the reset boosts stopped being worth waiting around for once I got to around Alpha/Eva maxed, after that it wasn't really worth waiting for Luna to hit max every time until I was pretty much done grinding the reset boosts anyway. Getting an extra x50 per reset is alright if you're fine doing resets more often, but I think I generally started to do consistent resets at the same spot around x80-x90 (I did have a couple LTEs that added a bit extra to that though). But as far as I can tell it's the most "optimal" to just reset as soon as you hit a wall that makes you wait like, a day or two, but you can always just mix it up and wait a bit longer if you cbf going through another reset that soon

I personally didn't use any x64 boosts. I sorta figured the extra diamonds I'd get faster from just using the x8 boosts instead would make up the difference (which it might have, but it's really hard to tell). At the very least using the x8 boosts instead made things a little less boring to wait around for lol

So I used four x8 boosts to get to x4096 (with x2048 reset boost) and I just rode that to the credits and all Steam achievements. I saw that I was going to hit Lv 75 hobbies before I'd hit 40 diamonds for the final x2 boost anyway so I spent them on the Space/Wizard jobs instead while I was waiting, but I didn't actually need em to finish the game once I got Karma/Sutra done anyway. You need to hit 75 for pretty much all hobbies so I don't think it's really worth putting diamonds on those over just using the regular boosts

That is indeed entirely possible, so you're good there. This game doesn't do Steam achievements for anything not included in the base game.

While I've got your ear, I'd like to ask for a few tips:

That's entirely up to you. The reset boost maxes out at 2048, so it sounds like you can get there in a 5-6 urs if you really want to - but you're going to be waiting for those diamonds anyway, so just pick a pace that you're okay with.

- Instead of saving up for the final x64 boost (costs 180 diamonds, currently have 40) would it be more efficient to spend on gilding jobs/hobbies? Ik that might run me into a big wall later on, but again my main priority is 100% steam completion over actual 100% completion

Saving up for the big boost is still considered a better choice since gilding jobs doesn't speed up how quickly they level, only how much you're paid after each cycle. That 64x multiplier on top of everything else (remember, the store boost multiplies on top of your reset boost) really helps a lot with leveling those up.

If you're *really* sure you're not going to play after completing the story... *maybe* you could get away with only saving up for another 8x. But if that turns out to not be enough, then you're waiting that much longer for the last boost, and if you end up continuing, you're probably going to want those diamonds for upgrading Phone Fling girls. So I wouldn't personally do that, but in the end it's your choice.

Without an autoclicker, getting the last Dating achievement is going to give you carpal tunnel :)
