Why is everyone so obsessed with getting to level 7? Yes, it opens up the port upgrades, but otherwise it's just an X3 multiplier. Just relax and take those manager upgrades slow but sure.
No offense but if you think adding a 'buy max' button would make it too easy you're doing it wrong. Idle games aren't about the number of times you get(?) to click, they're about (a) the challenge of making optimal decisions on what to pursue next, and (b) the satisfaction of resetting and seeing that a milestone that once took days to pass now takes just a few minutes. If being able to buy 3000 of something with one click instead of a hundred 'ruins the challenge' of this game, I...I'm just not sure we can be friends.
Really happy with the game so far. Please don't nerf the struggle to finish level 6. Yes, it's very slow. So what? It's an idle game. If the whole game had the same pace it would be _really_ boring. I mean, if you're making the exact same kind of progress at decillion as you are at vigintillion, then all that's changing is the names of the numbers - meaningless.
Please keep this section hard, so I can savor finally passing it.
A few /more/ notes about selling resources:
4) Try to only sell resources when you're on your X3 multiplier. In most cases it's better to hang onto your unsold resources for three hours offline to be able to sell them for 300% of what you would have sold them for without the multiplier. Again, it only matters what your MPS is at the time you actually sell the resources, not at any other time.
5) Yes, there are several points in the game where you just can't get enough warehouse space to be able to afford any more city facilities. There's a cliff like this at 283 warehouses, for example. If you know you won't be able to buy any more facilities, don't keep buying warehouses! They cost a *ton* of materials, and you could sell the materials instead. Get just enough warehouses to buy the facilities that are in reach, and then just sell the rest of your materials until you reset.
A few notes about using the warehouse / port system effectively. The money you get from selling resources goes UP when your total MPS goes up, and it goes DOWN when your /sec goes up. Also, the selling rate is calculated when you sell the resources, not before. So to sell your resources at the highest possible rate:
1) Don't 'Sell All'. Sell one of your resources, then use the money to improve your MPS rate. Your improved MPS will allow you to sell the next resource for more money.
2) Sell a resource before buying into that resource; e.g. if you're going to buy farms, sell all your food first. Once you buy the x40 farm output, your food will only be worth 2.5% of what it was worth before the upgrade.
3) Sell everything before resetting! That means 'Getting' the resources to the port and selling your warehouse stock, too! On a reset, you get to keep 10% of any cash you made, but you don't get to keep *any* resources that haven't been cashed in.
I love the port system. It's a much more creative and elegant solution than simply rebalancing the warehouse cost or capacity. There are some points, though, where your material stock can only afford one or two warehouses, even at full capacity. So the process to increase your warehouses is a little tedious (unless I'm doing this wrong):
1) Click to buy one or two warehouses,
2) Click the port,
3) Click 'Send' materials,
4) Click 'Town',
5) Repeat 1-4 until material stock is all gone (or you can no longer afford even one warehouse)
It would be nice to have some kind of button on the town page to consolidate steps 1-4 above into a single click, perhaps around the warehouse buttons.
We are impressed of the analysis :)
