clews seem so OP, i cant seem to make looms more profitable than just clews
hunger just doesnt seem to affect my animals which is good...
production is larger than consumption, yet storage always stays zero and animals always hungry. nice job so far, hoping for more
shop is empty. mining >10 sfc/sec. no idea what good locating does, never been able to use target for anything. where is the story? where is the mission? where are the pay/hack endings?
Still a lovely concept.
engines, carts stats all need rebalancing
cargo weighs nothing (!)
mission rewards are worthless
reward for unused tokens(starting gold) is worthless.
-currently, it is best not to use most carts at all
-players need more info+feedback from the game
to experiment and optimize.
Thats what idle games are about.
-> need to show gold/min stat
-> need to show xp/min stat
-> need to be able to sell/buy carts during run
-> need info on carts abilities (what benefit at what upgrade levels)
-> need info on next token reward stage (cash on hand/miles traveled during run)
-> need *rebuild* info/option right away
Sorry for the messy posts. comments didn't let me format.
yes, real life is a b.... thank you for the time i spent away from it thx to your game. So far, this game is still more a *proof of concept". Needs a lot of work, but would be worth it. Let's hope.
*******************************
Summary
*******************************
It is not profitable to run more than
1 or 2 carts, depending on engine power.
they slow you down too much, biting into your
earings/min.
bricks and wood are the most profitable-
many upgrade levels, low weight
and the cargo magically turns weightless once loaded.
best strat atm:
buy best engine+tender combo,
max them, let them run for several hours
add 1 or 2 carts (brix/wood),
depending on your engine
when you reach your reset goal (save cash)
buy the rest of your wagons and reset.
increase max token, repeat process.

up to cap 65. progression through the game seems a bit odd. it seems there's no way i can earn more than 13 tokens per run. 3 for miles, 3 for cash and 7 for number of trains. fastest way to progress seems to be running the best combo of engine and tender without carts (max 1 ore after all upgrades are in) to get the distance max. continue to earn with 1 or max two wagons to get the gold - more wagons earns slower. once there is enough cash and money/distace is maxed (3) buy the remaining 5-6 carts, reset with 13. buy the next best combo, repeat until you're ready for the next cap upgrade, start over from top, perhaps with a better starting combo. Thing is, I'm not really using any of the carts, playing with the passenger thingy or making use of missions. just running naked train+tender 90% of the time.
Yeah, the thing is, I´m way behind my time plan. By now the game was supposed to have way more content. The bloody save game issue took a lot of time. Beside more /better locomotives+ tenders and wagons there should already be several new systems that are planned but yet not programmed. Like a shop for global upgrades that brings more gold + XP and accelerates progression. And also a "socket system" that allows putting 3 tuning orbs in wagons. Same goes for wagons that allows playing mini-games and so on.
Yet the game is still not saving for some and now I have way less time to work on it since RL is more time consuming now. And that will last for several months.
wowed by the fast response. I like the concept a lot, as do many. looking forward to updates, content an some balancing. somehow, my unused tokens keep disappearing (are they really all lost for a few dozen starting gold ?!?). progress at the 50 token cap is becoming near impossible. ty. and again, great idea.
I'm several upgrades in, bought some med carts, but never saw them make any money. not in the station summary and not in real terms on the cash display. furthermore, dancers seem to have stopped producing money as well, though they clearly did earlier and the earnngs used to show up on the station summary.
That´s odd. I´ll check this. And thanks for telling
Edit: Did you have any other wagons on the train that did work?
If they do earn money it certainly should display it.
Edit : Found it. It will be fixed in the next build. It will be online tomorow.
Thanks for the report.
if thats the only other idle you know, yeah, i guess it's exactly like that. just more promising and better humor :) looking forward to game progressing !
game still doesn't save reliably, independent of browser.
it does seem to work if i close all other tabs. looks like some unity memory issue. PLS add max button to upgrade system!!! I would like to play this game.
