the easiest way to grind this (at least for me) was to spam my prestige points into modding and research, then put productivity, efficiency and max drones to max (balance it out) and put energy efficiency to its lowest, thus getting a hell lot of power out of my drones while maxing my research potential. The only thing that is annoying is having to wait for the fighting and accumulation of levels and prestige points... there needs to be away to skip certain enemies, contest multiple tiles at once or start at a certain wave... else i am basically sitting here for hours doing nothing, waiting for the levels to increase.
I had the "fighting" bug for the third time now... the only way to fix it is to prestige for basically nothing... thx for making me waste hours of Dark matter
DC: I lost all my progress at about 2-10 mil exotic particles. I didn't hard reset, i simply opened the game and all my progress was gone.
The early to mid game is good fun.. Going on from about 100k EPs though you notice the issues... It seems like the dev didn't really balance the high tier cells as T6 cells are best suited going up to 2-10 mil EPs. Most of the pres. Upgrades aren't helpfull and T7 cell upgs can really screw you over as they double energy + heat. Expanding your reactor is nice, but not polished and not well thought through: If the UI on the left overlaps the grid,you click the overlapping part of the UI, you will interact with the grid, therefore possibly screwing you over.Another problem is with disseminating heat to connected parts. In my understanding, if a vent is placed next to two outlets, the vent will get double the heat, even though the reactor doesn't produce that much heat. Same with the fuel cells.ThereIsMoreButIOnlyHave1kChars
