Interesting take on the idle game, but there is an insurmountable late-game constraint: money. It is easy tog et money early game and seemingly have too much, but past population 10B there is never enough for buying anything even with the reduced construction cost "mutation". At 50B demand for tools/meds is 10x what I can produce and population growth via conquer is exponentially above what can be built/researched. Even money 95% from conquests isn't enough.
Collision detection and control affinity are terrible. I clearly am not anywhere near touching the rings but the hitboxes evidently are too large, just being close = dead. This is even worse when I have no control of how much or how fast the bird jumps on each click.
In reference to the farm method, please give us the option to lock items against selling and add "sell all" option for modules; it now freezes for a moment when I save and its mind-numbingly boring to keep clicking sell on all those modules. Also please add filters to sell by rarity.
Another farm method: set defeating pirate officer award and # of systems to maximum, set pirate respawn to true, upgrade weapons ( 2 ~ *200 will do) and idle the officer in the oasis, easy 500K money every few seconds.
Game breaker #2: Its actually a detriment to upgrade engine speed on engine mods because the only acceleration/braking upgrades are much too weak. Not fun circling groups of enemy fighters with 180+ speed Artifact Astro Burner lvl 352 and not being able to hit them because autopilot insists on staying max speed. Also, long periods of no fuel usage with random intervals of 15+ fuel consumed inexplicably, usually when accelerating from a stop up to ~20 speed (out of 180+ max), then no more fuel consumption until the next random time.
Game-breaking feature: just upgrade a weapon as high as you can, preferably artifact battle laser fire speed. Destroy a pirate hideout, immediately save, quit to main screen and reload. New hideout to camp, if fast enough no officer spawns. Easiest multimillions in the game. Higher levels, shield/regen/range can help for faster farming.
The saving is totally bugged and not working, sometimes the game saves and sometimes when I quit to main screen or reload, the savegame totally disappears. This is on version 2.1.5.0
Ok scratch my last comment, I think it was an issue of my loading the game up in the middle of the game month, investment income does seem to be where it should be.
I've spotted a bug with investments: no matter how much investment income you have above $10k/min, investment income is actually capped at $10k/min. 1 month ~ 10 minutes, so I should be making 140k before tax/upkeep but its capped. This means that it will never be worth it to buy and equip the gladiator arena because of this bug. Also, highscores for cash in hand are bugged both in kong and in-game above 2 billion, as I'm at over 30 billion now and it frequently shows me at negative 1.7 billion.
