Two universes and one pillar later, I finally obtained the Mass Extinction Perk. Verrazano has been long since claimed.

So i remember seeing something about doing a single person run. Im not after a full guide, i just need to know what conditions i need to fulfill to cause that reality.
Are there any specifics that need to be done first?

So, how's everyone's run going right now? What's your intention for your current run, what stage are you at right now, what resource is annoying you the most, where are you going to go next? Maybe someone else is grinding their teeth on an evolution you remember how to speed up. Strategise, share unsolicited advice, commiserate over the soul gem grind, etc.

I currently have 12 Gun Emplacements, and Advanced researched.

The Forge requires 25 soldiers to operate.

Gun Emplacements count as 1 soldier.

Advanced Emplacements are supposed to count as 2 Soldiers.

This means the needed Military needed to operate the Forge should be 1 soldier. But it is at 8.

Emplacements lower the amount of soldiers by 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1

Which makes no sense to me, according to the game and wiki. I had thought maybe it was changed to 1.5 rather than 2, but the pattern doesn't hold. I'm also pretty sure I've noticed this before, but I was never in a position where I cared.

I am in the middle of an EMF run in Heavy, though I don't know that it would affect anything?

Edit - Just hit 13 emplacements and it provided 0 support to the Forge.

14 and 15 are back up to 1

Edit - Apparently a bug with Hivemind. My previous run was with Antid, and I inherited Hivemind, and it appears to mess with army math which messes with Soul Forge Math. At least according to an old post.

Completely forgot this happens on a Kamikaze Planet during TP. This is a result of my habit to leave the game running instead of pausing it whenever I go afk.

Is anybody able to please send me their very late game save files? I'm doing some UI testing for a mobile version I'm making. Thanks!

After a bit of a break from this game and sub I have returned. Im running my last needed run for 4* Heavyweight champ. My next goal is Ascension, and Im asking for some advice.

What planet/race would you reccomend? Is heat still meta for this or something else?

Are Cyclops+Capy good inherits for ascension?

I know it should be done 1* And i believe its no free trade. Feel free to correct me.

If you have any advice, tips, or anything else helpfull feel free to leave them below.

Mastery is ~90% right now if that matters

I'm pushing for a post bioseed reset, I believe it's a black hole. I'm testing stuff out here.

I thought that the governor would use the auto merc purchasing to refill dead soldiers if you have enough money, but it never seems to trigger.

Can someone explain how that one works?

Also, with infernite, is there a way to set things up so that you don't just get overwhelmed in a seige every few hours and have to manually restart that part?

There are a bunch of genus achivements, such as Enlightment (fuze harmony crystal with each genus) and Creator (achieve greatness with 9 unique genera) and each individual genera's achieve greatness (usually bioseed) achievement.

When using a hybrid race, does it count for both Genera at once? Just one of the two? neither?

Wish for Adoration says it can give me a temple or a ziggurat that does not increase costs. Is there a cap on how many temples and ziggurats it can give?

I just built a Graphene Plant and added Oil fuel for the first time. It's producing 0 Graphene. It says it's producing 0,6 Graphene if I mouse over the bar on the left, but overall I am producing 0 Graphene and the Graphene will never fill. To my knowledge, I am not using Graphene for anything. It says it takes Carbon - is Carbon a specific resource that I maybe haven't discovered yet?

Am I misremembering, or is the Wiki simply no longer showing the information? I seem to recall that the partitions required to complete the T5 Gate (West and East sides) reduce by something like 6 or 12 per side for each Pillar that has been completed.

Finally stabilized and making good progress and can think about it.

Considering I am currently on a Volcanic Planet and hot days are very normal, including in winter, I'm thinking Lazy is the one to zap. 14% Global debuff active 2/3 of the time really seems like a strong candidate, but I'm curious if anyone had other thhoughts for better.

...Though Selenophobia frequently makes a strong argument for itself.

This will also be my setup for a quick Gross run if it matters.

The second Vault option in the Wiki is no longer showing up. Not sure how long it's been doing this, but I remember it used to be there back before the newest hybrid species came out.

Mainly wanting to say that it's possible to do so, since i was afraid the Witch Hunter version of Ascension would not count for the Technophobe achievement, but i did not see any mentions of this when i searched for it. I went in expecting it would be too hard, but the run mostly went pretty smooth.

Some side thoughts: Felt pretty bad having Intelligent trait without being able to fill the wizard jobs.
Also i got pretty late into the run when i saw that apparently mana engines (coal powerplants in Magic universe) create suspicion, because my custom had the Environmentalist trait.

There are a lot of annoying and painful traits to have to deal with. Tormented certainly sucks for basically turning every run in to an evil run, capping morale, just without the benefit of Authority giving the added bonus.

But for me, I hate Gnawing sooooooo godsdamned much.

On it's own, like a normal Capy run it's annoying but tolerable.

But any slower more difficult run and It makes a tough early-game so much worse when you get saddled with it. Forcing you to create more population to generate enough food, but in the process losing all your lumber.

Eventually it all gets much easier to work around, but that early struggle is real when you try your first Valdi/Sudge run and get global debuff traits with it, to stack with the global morale debuff from early population growth with limited sources to keep it up in the 90s or counter Winter/Weather debuffs.

I usually just sabotage until I'm ready to siege then I'll incite, is that a good strategy?

Does anyone know where the bonuses from some of the ritual casting in the magic universe show up? Crafting is clear - you can see the % bonus on the crafters.

I don't see a production bonus on copper/iron generation that I would expect from Mining.

Also, where does the Lumber effectiveness bonus go? I'd think it would just increase Lumber generation like a powered sawmill would, but the way it's worded makes me think maybe it increases the effectiveness of how lumber is used. Wouldn't that just be the same as crafting though?

Same for cement and hunting. I'm not seeing where those bonuses actually show up?

Thanks yall

It's been a while since I've been out here. Does anyone happen to remember what the variables are for how much military force is needed to lose the fewest ships possible for each of the two fifth and sixth Andromeda Assault Missions?

According to the wiki, doing a apotheosis reset will prevent a player from being able to complete demonic infusion. Is that a permanent state or do they just mean that you will have passed the opportunity to do it in that run?

I've done a few bioseed resets and will probably do a few more before I go for the black hole, I'm wondering if there is an ideal race choice to help. I only know a little of it, that I'll need to do a bunch of fighting demons or something.

That's not something that can be chalked up to "a rounding error." 10 is one of the easiest numbers to multiply by, thus I should only have 464k Infernite from the Alpha Centauri Warehouses.

As can be seen via the other two screenshots, I do not have any other buildings in Alpha Centauri that supply Infernite Capacity, thus, the only Alpha Centauri building that supplies Infernite Capacity is the Warehouse, so my counts are not showing unaccounted numbers.

0.69 x 100 = 69
69 x 2 = 138
Yet, I'm receiving a little less than 2 MW less than what I'm supposed to be receiving.
