@KeeperBvK When you click "Claim fee now!" it pops up a window which clearly says at the bottom, "All resources will be sold at the port. So you might get higher Fee than expected." That implies the displayed value is, or could be, less than what you would actually get.
The autosave can't be trusted, so I use the manual save. Now my last manual save doesn't even load, losing 12 hours of research progress? In a 5 year old game? Come on.
I think the easy badge is based on acquiring Mysteries. I earned it by using the "Get Mysteries" from the market without exiling. It had a "Use (1 left)" button, so I clicked it not knowing what it would do since tooltips are rather lacking.
@manicalpizzadude: it's hard to dodge when you're in the air ;)
and is the double points thing supposed to just give you 10, or double any badges you get afterward? My point record shows I got the 10, but the two badges I got still gave 15 each.
Get Mysteries do Exile without resetting your current run. So click Exile would be enough.
