    I can't take my eyes off of the "You have unspent talent points" message. You gotta hit 'apply.' I mean, you just gotta.

    - the mountaineers can also be told to chill out

  • @matirion

    If you're insane enough, not getting runners or upgrading anything, you can get a LOT of free progress towards compression.
    The total amount for max prestige is practically impossible though, the requirement effectively doubles, and the currently optimal build at max compression would take literal years to reach max prestige. You need to get trillions of rocks per second, which equates to impractical amounts of gnorps. Due to this, there are a whole bunch of builds you can aim for that are perfectly viable, and no ultimate build that has everything exists (outside of theory).
    Theoretically, getting all 35 talent points is not the end of prestige though, just the point where you lose effective advantages from it. Hope to see more of this game in the future.

      On the other hand some perks are exclusive or absolutely useless as you can't build everything in the game. 20 points absolutely within the realm of possibility without having to run the game for more than a day and it's also the aproximate peak of usefullness.

    Btw, the grey part of the prestige bar marks your previous progress, so unless you do better than last time you will not get any points. Therefore it's not worth prestiging early for more as that is not the case in this game.

    If Wanderbots is streaming when he's doing this, i can see why he's missing a lot of things that are obvious. He lacks the processing power to handle the chaos of chat, the Prominent "Apply" on his screen, and commentary. Poor guy's robo-brain must be boiling in that helmet of his.

    • @GameBoy-ep7de
      @GameBoy-ep7de 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      The part that makes incremental games fun is the incrementing. Seeing the numbers go up or making progress through the game is fun, but having to give your finger a cramp to do so isn't fun. If this was a clicker game then an autoclicker takes away from the core gameplay, but this isn't. The point of the game isn't to click, and clicking only really matters at the start like you said. Using the autoclicker avoids pain, and speeds up progression through the start of the game, which is usually the slowest. I don't have an autoclicker, so whenever I play an incremental game and I need to click through the early portions and it doesn't have anything that makes me immediately love it, I just stop. I don't really play many incremental games despite finding some of them fun because I need to make it further into the game to find if I love it, and most of the time it takes too long and has too much clicking. I have a short attention span for anything uninteresting, and so I give up on playing the game quickly.
