For those that are having some trouble, there is a feedback loop that is net positive with Scouts w/ Winged ants and Red w/ shadow ants. Easy victory using this method.
Alright, if you're struggling to figure out how to NOT to recreate Chernobyl, maybe give this a read. https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1027096-reactor-redux/topics/1802156-a-comprehensive-guide-for-a-better-reactor
Alright, so for those who are just playing the game, there are a few things you should know. #1, Intake divides the heat per tick for each intake you have. which means 200 heat going into one intake will then be split (Rarely evenly) across multiple. A quick way to both build heat and keep your cooling system from having a meltdown is to do intake -> Coolant -> outake. This will put heat into the reactor (There is an equilibrium where this heat will not increase, as it is a % of the total heat generated.) This is just one of many hidden ways the game plays that makes it much easier to play.
Regardless of how you build your hero (Stat point wise) your gear will make up for the deficit of points (For me, I put all my points into magic). The stats points eventually will just be there as an enhancer for your character. (I can melee kill the first two levels of the void) However, the perk that makes 60% of your magic count for your axe/spear is extremely useful for a mage build. Experiment and have fun :D
The last puzzle is tricky, but I'll give a hint (Not the answer). Each file (Not sure after solving all 3 partial files or not unlocks it) has some data with it that can be accessed by typing in 0. A lot of the words are needlessly capitalized, I wonder why?
Pro-tip, Oksana can do 2-3 attacks a turn with items. Making clearing areas with large amounts of enemies extremely easy (Using this strat, I beat the level where you are suppose to run from, but nothing happened sadly)
Want infinite energy? Tired of slow item gains? Want that miracle that makes energy generation absolutely broken? Here is your simple guide! Simply get a rocket, go to Venus, and you'll notice 2 things. Methane is a generator (A in it requires nothing to get, unlike charcoal) AND the methane generator produces more power than it requires to buy the Suction extractor. Just start your infinite rotation of buying suction extractor and methane power station. have fun with 999999/s resources because of this.
You still have to build the machines with resources, and the energy gain isn't that great compared to the resource cost when you start building a lot of them
Well, already I have become evil, with naming my human apprentices HUM-AP-1 and going down for each. then again I am just abducting people and forcing them to do a job, so I don't feel that bad.
For people who say the game is BS broken. This is a Incremental game, your not suppose to be one shoting everything. Its meant to take time and effort in order to progress. Sometimes you just gotta leave the game idling in order to build mana or other resources up. See these tags? [Idle] [Upgrades] [Dungeon] [Manager] [RPG]. There is a Idle, a Upgrades, and a Manager tag. So before you say its broken or unbalanced, its meant to be ridiculously challenging. Pro tip: Archer is how you will be dealing damage.
2. Walking, Ever get stuck in a block? Moving back and forth or even side to side EXTREMELY fast? This is due to collisions, and also due to the fact that the squares make holes at sides Here is an accurate example of what most people the hit boxes are vs what they are [][] vs ()() As you can see, holes exist because of this. How to avoid, either jump a lot or walk diagonally. Funny enough, 4 blocks pushing you actually won't cause this to happen, because it ends up pushing you upwards instead of one direction and doesn't go up or down. (this has happened to me twice, so I recalled from memory, it is repeatable.)
So, who here wants to know about why the game has VERY annoying glitches? You all do? Great! Let me tell you WHY these glitches occur.
1.First off, You start in a square world, with a gun, some blocks, a shovel, and a semi-useless pistol. You jump up stairs, only to glitch into it and get shoved back. Why? This is due to the square not having completely square hit-boxes. the edges are rounded, and this causes collision issues, which means you get pushed out of the block. Its a anti-stuck feature most games have, but this pushes you Backwards. Very annoying to have this happen. Also, this glitch affects you ANYWHERE. (Can be recreated as many times as you want, just jump onto the edge of a block)
