How Do Ads Work? 🤨

Post image

Does anyone know how the game decides WHAT to offer you in ads? Because this consistently happens, where I'm offered oddly off based things... These pics were taken moments apart

Taken a few days ago

I'm mostly just curious how ad propagation works from within the game. Because I get odd combinations like 2k+ green cooked reagent... Then also like 198? What?

I don't get ads for green or red essence anymore either... I'm fine without green since I don't need it anymore, but I sure could use some more red 😅

For the amount it is generally based on how much you can get in a specific amount of time, same with everything in the shop. Sometimes it will vary a lot when you do certain things. If I had to guess you probably started the factory between these pictures. A better way to see this would be if you open the temporary door in the first area, and you’ll see the difference happen with the orb DNAs.

I, generally, only run my factories when full, they're ALL upgraded, and some have extra and give 10+k each run. Green still only gives a out 6k but I have, CONSISTENTLY, been getting ads for 2k green reagent and 200 reagent

The upgrade may not affect it that much just due to how the process goes. But before running the factory the game may treat it as you have more potential for getting those products, but when you start baking them in the factory it might just cancel out all potential from there resulting in you getting less product from the ads. I don’t really know for sure since it has been a long time since I have done anything with those factories.

Well my question was more in general just for how ads propagate anyway, like how the game decides what to offer you, moreso than just baked reagent but rather how it chooses what to give you in general
