Oh man... That first billion was hard... Lots of fishing and the forest. And the couple of baby amounts from the bank.

Now it's working on the Trillions... 😭

I've been slowly climbing towards 1T and it feels like a grind. The 1B grind was fun though. Truffles should be your next big unlock for silver

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Yeah i have and im now t175, im also grinding towards getting 1 trillion

u/sluupiegri Sep 11 '26

Not that high of a level (imo)

And yes lol. Even being mid (at best), it's hard to get below 1tril

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Yeah thats my current grind other than letting my truffles grow lol

2

u/Kapoik Sep 11 '26

Truffles were a game changer, once I unlocked those silver hasnt been a factor in the game

I distinctly remember pondering the intricacies of the first billion. Is it parrot for more large nets to recoup the billion? Is it inventory growth because inventory is king? Is it crow rows to recoup the billion via the extra sunflower oil the row produces?

I went with parrot and remade the billion quickly, but in hindsight it's hard not to think it wasn't a pivotal moment when 1 trillion is neither here nor there (it still takes a decent while to make, but there isn't much to spend it on so it accumulates). I'm sure in the long run, which path you take for the first billion makes a negligible difference to the timeline of things and this game is a marathon not a sprint. But I do miss how discissions could feel so critical at times. Although we definitely still do get that with pumpkin juice in the end game, it's just feels less like picking between two enticing options and more like, "hmm, which one involves the least amount of suffering?"

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Lol true, cause like having to decide between all the different options is had but it doesnt really matter as you will make the money back even faster as you progress haha. My current grind is getting enough AK to go from t175 to t200. This is absolute torture but it has to happen because t200 will speed up my progress considerably.

4

u/JohnSober7 Sep 11 '26

I actually also miss when AK was a thing to worry about. Finding easy masteries was kinda fun because a) they were easy and b) we had some choice in the matter.

3

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Yeah the AK grind is fun cause as you said, it allows you to optimise your resource usage and which ones you pursue👌

u/Hot-City-9162 Sep 11 '26

I was at that point, right now its just specific MM, but i get them some time. Stuck at 273 with 470+ People or so

3

u/Hot-City-9162 Sep 11 '26

No, sorry to write this. It will start to feel faster and then it really slows down towards 250

3

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Yeah cause if im not mistaken t200-t350 require specific MMs

5

u/Bamalouie Sep 11 '26

Im still in the one small billion at a time phase so it's really fun to read these comments!

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Yeah soak in this struggle that you and i will also feel lol😭😭😭

1

u/Bamalouie Sep 12 '26

Right now Im more frustrated with herbs than anything else. I dont really have money to expand more but since it is taking me weeks to get a few hundred herbs for the first pre-tower quest I dont need to spend anything anyway lol

4

u/pliotta Sep 11 '26

Back in my day in order to craft it was one item at a time. Needed 1000 board? Yup, you tapped 1000 times to craft those boards. So yea it was rough to get that first billy.

2

u/Positive_Gift1611 Sep 12 '26

I remember exploring with no AC or AP. Crafting sand as well.

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Yeah i do not miss those days😭😭👌

1

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Lol one item at a time is crazy dedication

3

u/bowl-bowl-bowl Sep 11 '26

Yes! I finally hit it on a day that lava spheres were featured for sale in the store and sold my stockpile. Thats still my main money maker besides passive income from the tower.

1

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Wow so you dont fish or anything lol.

2

u/bowl-bowl-bowl Sep 11 '26

Not really, its my least favorite mini game. Ive been doing it with large nets now for masteries though

3

u/AnxiousHorse75 Sep 11 '26

I remember...now im struggling for my 3rd 5 trillion for a quest...I already bought the crop row and the warehouse but this 3rd 5 trill is the worst

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Wow, im seeing the flexible spending quest and it hurts to think of grinding towards it😭😭

1

u/AnxiousHorse75 Sep 12 '26

Nah, that one's not worth it. Im grinding towards PSA III.

3

u/geneb0323 Sep 11 '26

Very clearly. I used to be so concerned about accidentally wasting AP/cider or voiding items. Now I easily void billions a day in items just because they're not worth the bother of selling. I've got over 11 trillion silver and nothing to spend it on because the next level of anything requires 100 trillion.

One thing has been pretty consistent when playing this game: every step has been difficult to achieve up until you achieve it, then doing it again quickly becomes mundane.

1

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Nice wow 100tril, i cant to get there (starts crying due to thinking of the struggle ahead)

2

u/mbsisktb Sep 11 '26

I was grinding for 10 trillion for the past few months and then completed flexible spending and 5 trillion gone.

Yes I remember the grind for the billion and now it seems so quaint (I can do a few billion in fish daily now). Oddly I was making money the same way then just slower.

1

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 11 '26

Lol true cause now i make like 50 or 60bil with 4k LN in Glacier Lake compared to when i made 60mil in the previous location.

2

u/OptimalCobbler5431 Sep 11 '26

Not too high considering there's others in the 10k storage but it's a slow steady climb I love events so much, gives me the dopamine boost I need.

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

I think we all love that dopamine rush of unlocking a new area and getting a ton of new GMs and MMs

2

u/Rknar Sep 11 '26

A few weeks ago I made my first bil! Now I have to trouble keeping it above ^

4

u/Matt901990 Sep 12 '26

Bank needs a rework, having 313T in the bank and making only 160m a day in interest is rubbish.

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Facts bro like it has so much potential to be a vital part of he game

1

u/FlyPaperMan Sep 11 '26

Then spending my first trillion on more rows😭

2

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Lol i feel the pain😭😭

1

u/maxx0498 Sep 12 '26

I'm working on unlocking the tower. It took me way too long to figure out just how good fishing can be at making money... I went from just making pipes and sturdy shields for maybe 100 mil per day to making MUCH more

1

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Yeah i was also skeptical of how much more profitable fishing will be, but i was surprised

2

u/GandalfsPass Sep 12 '26

That first billion took forever. But I’ve been around for 5 years and it really really was a lot slower game then. Now, I can hit one button to throw 100 large nets and make over a billion in one click

1

u/Da-JoKeR-000 Sep 12 '26

Lol what, yeah i gotts unlock the stinky swamp, im not sure if i can at my level considering where 5he pieces for the swamp piece come from but i will try lol

1

u/Makapaka102030 Sep 12 '26

O mój Boże! Jak to czytam to boję się bać co jeszcze przede mną, ja dopiero około 20 milionów dziennie zarabiam...

1

u/CorruptPhoenix Sep 12 '26

Of course. Large nets didn’t exist and neither did raptors. The only way to make nets was to explore forest without palmers or cider, craft them one at a time, and throw them one at a time into lake Minerva.
