At R12 to 13...so slooow

Diamond Forge, Brutal Diamond Smithing Machine dont seem to work anymore.

I tried lightning forge but it wasnt faster in any way. I was used to reincarnate at least 1 time a day and now i have to wait 3-4 days for its maybe possible or am in using a wrong build?

Or maybe using an old one that doesnt work as supposed to anymore?

Do you have Know Your Enemy, Part I? You obtain it by doing a run with one upgrade from each Faction as Mercs (like with for Harlequin), and then Excavating. There's a 10% chance to obtain it, and it gives you a huge production boost as Mercs.

Yupe, you really want the Know Your Enemy Part 1 artifact. And getting the two Sun Force artifacts, Dusk and Dawnstone also can help you

And then, usually Lightning Forge should be a lot stronger. Sure, it's slower since you have to wait until LS hits the blacksmiths, but then it should give you about x10-x100 of what a DF run would give you. And don't forget to use about 100-200 excavations per run since they also boost your production, at least later when you need more production. And ofc after you got the Know Your Enemy Part 1 artifact.

Uh well...Excavations are so expensive i cant even buy 1 for now^^ But i guess i try Lightning Forge again. Next reincarnation i will try know your enemy cause Excavations are hard to get and with a random buy each faction thing i doubt i will get enough money to buy even one.

This build will give you a chance to excavate KYE when excavations are too expensive. You should get a few excavations. A 10% chance per excavation for Know Your Enemy.

Stuck in the same place. R12-R13... :(

So, there is no mentioning about KEY artifact in game itself, and now, when I've already out of ideas I have to somehow get those excavations?

This gamedesign decision is garbage. Thanks alot, it really makes game unplayable now.

You can still reach R13, it just takes a little bit longer. KYE isn't absolutely necessary at R12.

Yes, it is quie annoying that the KEY requirement or even just the fact that it exist is never mentioned in the game. Actually you really somewhen have to look into the wiki or ask other ppl to be able to properly play the game. But it's not like it is an that aweful thing.

And actually a long time ago there was no KYE and the ppl already were able to reach R20. Because their build they'd invented, the IGOT, was and still is completly insane. Sure, it needs quite a long time, but back when there was no Research there was no reason to not use it to go further.
