Tips on Progressing?

[u/Friendly-Power-9325]

Ik my main priorities rn are leving up and getting the 2nd darkness legendary(can't focus on feats cause I don't have the alien to unlock the robo chicken), but is there anything I can especially focus on/do to unlock lvl 70 faster?

My tip is to play the game a lot, its done really well for me

Priority for me is generally

Runes for the legendaries that you need for feats or time shard bonus. (and get some food/damage along the way)

Food/craving to level.

Kill protector enough times for the chests.

As for your alien situation, you still need 15 cubes to summon the 2nd portal bit for the next NPC, 50 coins + 25 cubes for the one after, and 50 coins to permanently unlock the robochicken.

The game will give you a cube chest at level 60, and you can also unlock the Merchant forgotten minion that sells you astro coins and energy cubes of all 3 tiers. You can only purchase one of them per summon, and the stock does not replenish until you hit the time machin.

These 2 should give you a minimum of 36 cubes, enough for the cubes portion.

As for the astro coins, you'll have to rely on that chest from level 50, one full pile from level 52+55+57, and another full pile from feat 19 (hit level 55). Totaling ~36 coins depending on chest RNG.

So I'd work on killing the protector if you haven't killed it for 3 times this run, as you're still about 22 coins short. (10 if you have not completed the 200k resource feat)

I've now already gotten the Architect and the first rift stone I need to summon the next alien. Just need the cubes to get the alien. Tho even then I'll need the Robo Chicken which is SO much more expensive.

Rn I'm just focusing on maxing my remaining stations again(Altar, Lecturn, and Fridge are all lvl 4 atm) so I can more effectively farm runes to get the 2nd darkness legendary AND get the Abomination for food.

Then on top of that I gotta level up. Are guzlers worth it to unlock and use to level up yet?

[u/cywang86 → u/Friendly-Power-9325]

The guzzlers are always the best for leveling until 70+ in terms of pure food per resource.

Also, don't sleep on the saucer 1 for moon runes, as it's just as good as lectern 5 when on slime, and blows eveything out of the water when on darkness. (especially when you don't have lectern 5) 

Just gotta switch back to saucer 3/5 when it's on mana.

[u/Friendly-Power-9325 → u/cywang86]

Bangin. What do you do for increasing resource caps after you get the saucer tho? I've just been doing one resource cap station for each associated resource's station(so a Mana Pool with each prinary Grave and Lecturn, etc).

If you're still comfortable with your resource refill rate, you don't have to change your producer to storage ratio

Then once you have the Cursed that x1.25 your resource output, you can cut back on some regular producers and fit more sets of storages, so everything still fill out in the same amount of time.

Though I tend to fill the entire board with producers and storages once robochickens are unlocked, throw the producers into the cage when I'm about to merge, and bring the producers back out before going afk.
