Coupons take way too long now

[antrax737]

before U5 I had everything from the awesome shop, now i need another 50 coupons, one coupon is 1.6mil points, i'm doing 20k per minute and I'm sinking everything, I'm playing at tier 5/6. Right now I have 3 bigger factories coming up, of stuff that are produced really slow so i won't have any use from that anytime soon... So if CSS is checking topics here, I would like to point this out as a problem, because right now you need to be tier 7/8 to do really nice builds.

20k a minute doesn’t seem like you are sinking enough. I am tier 3/4 in my update 5 game and just sinking my smart plate production at 16 per minute, produced from 360 iron ore per minute. That one sink is getting me just over 8000 points per minute. I haven’t even touched my copper, limestone, quartz, caterium, or steel production lines for sinking.

Here, this should help if you don't already use it. Scroll down and see how many points 1 item is worth. 1 stack of computers is 863,000 points.

@stealthXG I checked that, my best atm is motor at 1520 points, followed by versatile framework. I'm making heavy modular frame factory right now, pretty much all it needs right now is electricity, then i'm off to computers, this alone is going to give me 27k per minute. But still, I checked my storage containers and In one I found 18 coupons so right now i'm ~30ish coupons from what i need, i need 107... it's gonna be a long wait...

@Aven I don't need 16 smart plates/minute for anything so yea... i keep everything as low as possible, but in this case I wish i'd be making 16 smart plates per minute.

There was no change in the point system I think. Before the update, we nees 132 tickets. +50 it is 182 tickets.
For 132 tickets you need 41M points.
For 182 - ~109M points.
The increase is less than 3x. If you get the original set of recipes in N hours, earning tickets for the new one should take less 3N.

The difference It is like 5900 heavy modular frames (tier 4). 119 stacks.
You can also sink even more worth computers.

It is a problem, because we bought everything earlier. Playing a new game we would choose what is needed earlier, the experience would be smother... and for experience of a new playthrought thinks should be balanced.

Bigger problem hit people who bought pionier rewards and statues:)

One can always magically conjure "missing" tickets using a satisfactory map webpage:)

If you purchased everything in the awesome shop before you even reach tier 7 what would you do with your awesome points in tier 7?

idk im only at 200 hours and about to get the golden nut, already have everything else. if u sink t7/ hover packs u get tickets easy

soooo I just made a whatever factory and a couple trains, was all it took, to unlock all the research. The first thing I made after that was a factory that produces an entire belt of circuit boards. It is enormous. It sinks like 500k a minute.

so I think you're in too early on trying to run coupons

[antrax737]

@John Hadley you start building what u want earlier instead of rebuilding everything later.

@MORTY You start building things in tier 1, so you cant be too early to coupons. I mostly started using Sink because my lines were full and i hated to see that, I automate everything, the only thing overflowing is ore between miners and smelters/foundries. With coupons I bought pretty much everything i need to build stuff, but now the new everything costs a lot...

[nfgman]

Close to 400 million points per coupon now. Trying to keep up to 1 coupon per hour.

[Vegas Doc]

Well... if you want all the goodies really fast, just cheat. Go to SCIM, edit a container, put 500 FICSIT coupons in there (under special), or just fill the whole darn thing up with them, plenty of coupons to buy the whole store! Nobody is really watching, they won't know that you edited your save file, and now you have all of the goodies, and brag about it! Happy Pioneering! I guess.

Finished the heavy Frame factory today, got about 20 more coupons... getting there.

Tbh I think the coupon rate is just fine. Having a surplus of computers/heavy frames to put into sinks is pretty effective, and keeps you prepared for the next levels.

Just 2 computer manufacturers go a long way.

Actually, i think you are right, just tried something like that yesterday, worked like a charm.
