Am I missing something with the harpy tower? I completed all construction, I have more blood/brains/bones/energy than I can spend, but the + button on the harpy tower will not increase the rate up from zero.
And... starting all over from scratch, twice in the past ten minutes I got maybe 10 retries in on level 3 and suddenly I had a blank field, just the road and bridge and scenery with no turrets, no waves, no response to mouse & keyboard... why is it crashing frequently now after playing without a problem all day?
Sure, I can try clearing my cache and restarting but I shouldn't have to. One more crash and I'm done with this game :-(
I made sure to hit the save icon frequently, and in the course of ~6 hours there were a few times I had to restart due to a lost network connection but it was OK because it picked up where I left off. Just now I was around level 180, the game locked up (no response to any click or keypress) so I restarted my browser... and all my progress is gone. I really hate that.
Firefox 60.5.1 esr on Debian Linux, if that makes a difference.
Black screen. Made sure scratch.mit.edu is whitelisted, still nothing shows up. On the plus side this is about as idle as you can possibly make a game. Just rename it to "Black screen idle" :-)
Oh my gosh, this game SO needs an undo feature, or two-way conversions. I spent *all day* farming resources, and before cashing them in to buy upgrades I stopped in at the lab to see how my last research was going. Got up to do something else, and when I came back I clicked on the "max" button, forgetting that I was not in the workshop. I don't need nearly 5K green research cubes! I want my yellow factory cubes! But there's nothing I can do about it now except smack my head repeatedly onto my keyboard...
I'm feeling really stupid right now. Everything costs $0, all my stats are blank (e.g., "Distance to spend: {blank space}", "Money to spend: {blank space}", etc. I clicked on everything there is to click on and nothing is happening. I confirmed that all the script requests are allowed. What am I missing here? I know the answer is going to be embarrassingly obvious once you explain it, but I could use a walk-through (pun intended, heh).
Finished it! The positive:
- Fun storyline
- The upgrades kept pace with the increased costs
- Lots of different upgrade options to play with
The negative:
- Never could get the save to text to work (Firefox on Linux, as of 2018-11-19)
- A _lot_ of clicking required to finish in less than a year realtime, so it doesn't really qualify as idle. Perhaps add an option to auto-accept the professor's suggestions and/or play roulette as opportunities arise?
Still, the positives outweigh the negatives. 4/5, sent a small token of appreciation via Paypal.
I'm feeling especially stupid today, as I can't figure out how to play this game. The instructions say that everything I need to know is in the game itself, but so far all I can do is distribute APs when they accumulate. How do I ascend? How do I earn RPs? How do I "mix and match and try different builds"?
thank you for suggestions
