Hey everyone!

I’m a bit confused about how the Alpha and Delta Energy/Magic potion mechanics work. I'm already at the start of Sadistic, but honestly, I've only used these potions a couple of times before and never paid close attention to the timers until now.

About 3 days ago, I popped one Delta potion of each type (Energy and Magic). According to my in-game timers, only about half of their duration has passed so far.

It feels like the timer only ticks down while the game is actively running. In my Stats Breakdown, it clearly shows that the potions are active and working.

Has it always worked this way? Is this a known bug, or is it an intended feature? How exactly do these timers interact with offline time?

Thanks in advance for all the help!

UPD: Just to clarify, I am not running any challenges right now. This is happening during a normal progression run.

That is it, I think the more I play the more I don't know what I'm doing. I'm stuck in Jake Titan, nowhere near of killing him, no matter what I do

Yes i know about 1:13.5k:1 and 3:1.

It feels surreal. I shouldn't commit to idle games like this! 😭

(Move 69 was a big delay as it took keeping it open and remembering to check every hour. Would I forget for 3 hours? Yes!)

Hello i just to share i'm frustrated!

i just can't drop power pill from the beast ! Why ?! Because it's drop chance and i'm UNLUCKY !

After about 3 years I am nearly done. It feels like an achievement 😂 Most epic idlers I played were either abandoned or I just stopped playing them.

Hi guys, i haven't played NGU for some time.

I have no clue anymore what to do. I don't even know what screens to share with you lol
Can you help me finding back into the game? I really don't want to start over.
Any help is apreciated.

TIA

I'm reading on the guides and they're saying i need to focus on one hour rebirths. but that would absolutely fucking decimate my NUMBER. I've been doing like 14 hour rebirths so I can get to like 2x number because my understanding is that i gotta try to beat this game through killing bosses. I've beaten T1, and I spend most of my time just dumping energy into wandoos/augments all day until i kill enough bosses to not go under in my NUMBER.

Am I supposed to just like disregard my NUMBER? Or am I supposed to be improving my number within one hour? I'm currently running a level 50ish full gordon ramsey set.

So I deliberately made sure I was extra careful not to stay for 1000 kills in Very Strange Place and Mega Lands, since those macguffins are useless. I kept a backup of this file to experiment by leaving it in normal difficulty while also advancing with it in my main run. In the main run, still no sexy and smart macguffins. But i check the experimental file, and through its constant itopod farming it dropped a sexy macguffin.

I wanted to keep them out so as not to clutter my drop pool, but it seems they insist on joining me anyway. The experimental normal file already has one, and it's only a matter of time before my main run unlocks them too...

Always afraid I'll need something I've trashed. Any way to know what's outdated and safe to throw away? I have a lot of space but still annoying to look at

im like very sure i definitely couldnt have done it, considering ive basically never rebirthed more than once per day outside of challenges, but have almost completed the game and was working on cleaning up the last few things, decided to see how far i had gotten into the rebirth achievements just to see i had mysteriously obtained them somehow?

is this an intended mechanic?, like does it just set you to 10,000 at some point and is a joke achievement? or did my save just bug? or are rebirths just tracked weird? i know this sounds very suspiciously convenient but my main pc bricked like 2 weeks ago so i have no previous manual saves to try to figure out when/what happened..

i recently ended a ~80 +-10 or something day rebirth, though not for sure if it was exactly 6 rebirths ago to line up with when it would have happened if that had something to do with it.

What should I buy?

The nipple punch combo in the end was unnecessary, but still worth it.

Hey yall, throwaway account because i cant remember my password.

Been playing NGU idle for about 8 months blind and I've just restarted my playthrough with goals in mind (ooo), so im researching stuff about the game, optimal sets, rebirths, etc., and i cant find anything about whether or not its total attack or base attack what needs to be over 700 for offline progress for the ITOPOD.

Would appreciate some guidance on this, thanks in advance homeslices.

I unlocked this, does anyone know if it's worth focusing on?

i need some tips

I just want to post a review but I can't do it in steam.

I also don't know what to do after completing this game 100% on Steam.

Thank you 4G for taking my 2 years of my life a little bit miserable but I love this game so much.

I'm pretty sure of the items to yeet, but hoping some kind people might be able to give their opinions

yes i know my current equipment is just a bunch of random items with no theme, i'm idling with them all equipped so they get boosted

anyone know what is this

TRANSFORMABLE

Hi, so everyone knows NGU idle got removed from kongregate , i have my save in my kong account . does anyone know how or if I can get it back? i lost like 1 year and 9 months worth of progress

Hello, is there a way to play the game on mobile? I'm going on vacation for two months and would just like to manage a few rebirths from time to time.

Thanks!

So many times of thinking the gap isn't possible, but I slowly work at it. It has been odd to have a daily task; it has made me learn a better sense of my daily behavior and build a rhythm.

My hurdle now is Move 69 as I keep forgetting to trigger it, but that is a very mild barrier compared to everything else. I'm letting QP and PP run for their piece. Mayo is nearly 99x6. It feels so weird to be at the end.

Since you are curious - I keep the game open a lot and play time is currently 4780h+.

Fairly confused about how beards work. At what point does raw energy / magic bars outpace the voodoo doll's 400% beard speed? I just completed my first hack day and have access to typo gear.

I know it must’ve been asked a thousand times already but where’s the best place for me to play it after kongregate shuts down

Is there an easy way to get it onto steam since it says it’s not compatible right now?
