How do I research a new weapon? The flame icon is greyed out and (unlike the other icons) it doesn't tell me how many of anything I need to make it work. Presumably scientists but I have a few so... not sure how to make it work. Also, it would make the game better if my base weapon stats due to the Upgrade Base Weapon Power/Quality were displayed in that bottom left corner correctly.
Commander, these lazy Scientist are making me crazy ?!?=)$(/§)($ ... a little bit. As you realized you need scientists to research a weapon. Your mind works excellent. If you have some they SHOULD create a new weapon. I guess they created a new one but it was not good enough. Therefor you didn't get a new weapon. If you need more information or probably found a bug you can write a PM. Even though this simulation contains not a single insect. I cleaned it yesterday. I promise. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Corporal, it has been a while since I last wrote you and I am happy to announce that I have been promoted to Sergeant in this period. It is confusing to me why I haven't been a Corporal first but the higher ups have informed me that there can only be one Corporal and that is you, thus I have you to thank for my great promotion. Now onto the simulation, the adding of explorers has greatly improved our army's ability to capture slaves (oops I meant recruit workers) and we have been steadily improving towards our final goal of conquering all of the known universe and make it a reality and not just a simulation. Cannot wait for the unveiling of the Faulpelz Prime and what that will bring us. Just one other thing, maybe in the future there could be an upgrade (possibly costing explorers) that allows a certain percent of the minions power be transferred to manual click power so that it can become useful for later planets.
As always, keep up the good work.
Best regards, Sergeant Sibinek
Sergeant Sibinek. Thanks for the kind words and: Wow!!! It took me three years to fill the application form. But you, in no time you get promoted like hell. I guess you want to become a Commander too. Now I have to salute you. I also understand why you got promoted. Your ideas are marvelous. Worthy of a commander. Maybe you get promoted to a Sergeant Major soon. For the simulation: Indeed there will be something new. But as you realised - there only can be one Corporal, who kicks the lawyers assed to sign better deals. I put it on my list, since the Commanders demand lots of interesting things. I think all of you train me to prioritize. I'm getting better and better. So that one day I become a Commander on my own. At least I can feel as one while I'm testing the simulation. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Commander I'm loving you too ... on a Plantonic level. I mean I love your words ... but for real. For the problem: Other Commander had a similar problem. There are three fixes: A) Don't use Firefox. B) Don't use Firefox in custom History Mode, since this might give problems. C) Wait until our lawyers sign the deal with the Cloud-Save Company "Storus-Klaudus" ... but might be that we also use another company for storing. I heard they talked about playfab. Unfortunately this might take a while since there are other things to do first. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Commander this is the epileptic feature requested by your predecessor Commander Dumm. But you are right this is very anoying and I'll ask our lawyers if we can remove this. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

My best way to farm explorers: just click the 1st planet and prestige every time you reach 1000. My advice for the dev would be to make a higher starting point for prestige, because it should be a mid-late game mechanic, and right now it takes next to no effort to be able to prestige.
Commander your abilities are incredible. You have forseen the dilemma of time warping long before I knew it even existed. I repaired the slipstream compensator and adjusted the Heisenberg Fulxator. Meaning: In the future Explorers will on stronger planets than now. The shift is slowly and depends on the number of prestigings. Therefore my advise is to bring back a bunch of Explorers before you prestige. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Good mornin Commander. Can you explain us how the Explorers gain scale? Because it seems that i´m stuck +145 on reset. I didn´t get any further Explorers to gain for some Planets now. (I´m at lvl 110 right now) and I thought the higher you get the faster you get more Explorers. (well would make sence)
Commander Ayashiii, it must have been a rought fight last night. You called me Commander. It would be nice to become one some time. Explorers are adventures but lazy and little bit greedy. Meaning: As more slaves you earn as more Explorers will join you. Luckily it depends on ALL the people you enslaved since the last prestige. Not your bank account ... err slave account ... is important. Explorers remember how many Slaves you found even if you buy some stuff. Nonetheless I'll check if something is wrong. I don't want that you get stuck Commander. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix

Scientists: We tried to create the strongest pokemon in the world... and we succeeded... *lab blows up and all scientists die*
Commander: Maybe a fire extinguisher will do the job?
*Gains +0.2% of survival*
Commander your idea is marvelous, as always. I fire extinguisher, why have I not thought about that. Maybe because your intellect is unmatched. But do these Scientist really need this? It more fun to see them blow up and die, right. *Thinking* ... *bright idea* ... Ah now I undertand you want that more survive, so that next time you still have some to blow up. Now I get it. I'll talk to our lawyer and talk to them. I think we will implement such thing in the future. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix

Corporal Tutnix, there seems to be an issue with the simulation.
Right after you call your explorers home and start anew to conquer the universe, the simulation runs at a higher speed than it should. Buying the first speed upgrade significantly slows down the the speed back to normal levels.

Commanders, we are experiencing problems with the online version of your simulation. If you prestige it works fine. But currently you can't click skills. They change the effect but the drawing routine seems to be wrong. I'm investigating. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Oh thats me. Here the solution: Stupidity!! By me. Commanders this is not an issue. I tested on a very low planet and this of course has a limited amount of attacks per second. Meaning if you update your weapon it will have no effect, since you cant attack more often than the limit says. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Oh Captain, I'm very very sorry to call you Commander. I immeditaly looked into this issue and fixed it. I promise not to tell you Commander again and will use common words: COMMON WORDS. By the way, if you are so angry about problems, does that mean you like the game ... err ... simulation? Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

I have reduced my rating for this game to one star in protest of the rating bonus. Incentivizing high ratings is harmful to the rating process as a whole and produces ratings that have nothing to do with the actual quality of the product itself. I will restore my previous rating for this game if you remove this bonus.
Commander there is not such an icentive ... now. And I'm sure there has never been. If there would have been, I'm pretty sure this was not caused by me. And if it would have been coused by me, I'm pretty sure the incentive here was something different. Well anyway the lawers team removed this from the contract ... even if it was never there. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Commander you mean: "Your minions don't understand it." I'm always amazed by your caring for them, that they learn and shine. For them I'll explain it, of course. If you update a skill, some calculations will be made. While all skills have an immediate effect, Idle Power is the one that has not. But the Idle Power update takes effect with the next created weapon. Meaning next time if you create a weapon, it will tremendously boost you weapon damage - if you invested in this skill.
I asked our lawyers to change the text to prevent future missunderstanding. We don't want to get sued. You would be a great lawyer youself, but I understand you hunger for power. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Commander, this is our To-Much-Click prevention system to avoid Sehnenscheidenentzüngung. (I hope I'm using the right word here. In my language Scheibenkleister it's called tendonitis.) I should have known that you Commander are free from any illness. Of course mentaly as well as physically. Therefore and only therefore, I asked our lawyers to see if there is a possibility to change our contracts with the click-workers so that they will do more damage in the future. Since all our workers are enslaved ... err ... very motivated, in the future the click will do more damage. But at first we need to deal with some Explorers that are traveling through the galaxy. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Tell me why I am getting a warning about game's domain "starbackplanetdestroyer.artipy.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com" that tells me that this domain has a possibility of hacking me.
Commander, that is because in real this is not a simulation. In real this is a hacking tool. I wanted that you can controll more territories and sometimes you need to use extreme measures. But oh, Commander this was never intended to get detected. Can you tell me in a PM who told you that. Not for punishing this guy but for a friendly chat. Maybe there is a reason why she or he only speaks of a possibility. It better to work with hard facts. But strange it is indeed. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Commander, I never reset your progress. It was the simulation itself. I think our lawyers used the new law-book-feature to cick some scientists asses. But somehow this AI must have gained self-controll and resetted everything. In an extrem counter effort I asked our lawyers to sign a deal with no immediate benefit. Well, even though the function is there. I just hid it so well, that not even you can find it. I'm a little bit proud of myself, but only a little bit. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Corporal, it's too bad we don't have an XP ratio per second, maybe you can add it. Also, please add the "plus-value" for weapon : I don't really remember if I did some upgrades for weapons, so when I sacrifice scientists for nothing, I'm mad :) IE add a +XXX for damage, power and quality, before we do the upgrade. Thanks !
Commander I'm amazed everytime you tell me you want more information. I have problems remember my age. But you ... your demand is unmatched. How do you do that? How do you remember all these things. I'll see if somehow I can fulfill your demand. I can't promise this will happan soon. But please don't be mad at me. Rather be mad at these scientist. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Thanks for the updated simulator corporal, I arrived in planet 100 again but I hit a invisible wall (aka Time for prestige), happy for the new scientist but kinda miss the old ones (better weapons, more deaths), so what we should do next?
Commander, I guess you mean the XP-levels. I hope you do. If not, pleas do not punish me ... again. You are just testing me, right. Of course you know that these give a slight benifit to you weapon damage. See, you don't need to worry I know my simulation well. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Corporal, should I be worried that my minions are way better at killing when I'm not watching them? Are they deliberately acting incompetent in my presence?
Commander, of course not!!. The reason why they don't work as productive if you are here is ... that you are here. They bow down before you, praise you, worship you. All these minions are just weaklings, that can only do one thing at a time. If you are away they have nothing to bow down. Therefore there is more time for them to get punished ... err ... work harder. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

with the new deterministic set up, I'm not seeing any benefit at all of upgrading the quality % enhancer. It changes nothing. Only the base power seems to matter for the moment...
Commander, I guess you are demanding the deep mathematical knowledge here. I know you understand everything and will be disappointed if I give you a simple formular here. But since not only you, but also your minions need to learn, it indeed has an effect as you can see here: BaseDmg = Power * (Base Quality + ScientistQuality). In fact, this new calculated damage need to be bigger than the current damage. Only then you created a new weapon. I'm sure you know that and I hope your minions will understand that, too. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

So if you Upgradet once with 6k Scientist (low Planet was running all night) it got me like a +100% Quality and now it seems i can´t get any new Weapon. I´m at planet 67 and won´t get any Progress anymore. Tryed getting a new Weapon with 100,300 and 1k Scientist no chance. Seems like i need above 6k Scientists now for every upgrade
Commander, Congratulations!! You reached the point we call prestiging-turning point. Now it makes sense to prestige. But I have to say sorry three times: Sorry, sorry, sorry!!! Our lawers team is a bit slow. Faulpelz-Prime (aka Prestiging-System) is not ready to sign the deal. So you need to wait a little longer. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Commander, you praise me?! Of course I earned this. No disucussion here. I guess you agree. Nonetheless I'm very happy that you teached me a new word. You know my native language is Scheibenkleister and I needed to check it. At first I thought you were angree about me, since it was neighter in my active nor in my inactive vocabulary. But I used our tool http://translate.faulpelz.universe and realised that 'Good' is a positive word. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

So click damage dies out pretty quickly. I'm level 36 with 38 click upgrades on planet 27 and do 0 kills per click, on the other hand my autoclick which is also level 38 is doing 13T kills/second. In the beginning of the game click had some power but i have to go down at least 15 planets for manual clicks to do anything again
Commander, please check if you got your Engineers (hover over the Faulpelz-Prime button.) If you tested the simulation and now have 60 Engineers - everything works as intended. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Great start. I like the game. Please add a feature where the game checks in periodically to see if there is an update and then displays a notification somewhere in game that a new versions exists so we can refresh and get it! Especially if a reset happens as a result!
Commander, I should have known it. But as always, I underestimated your possibility to spot the slightest visual information. My ... err ... your engineers told me due to the current technology we are using, this might get problematic. Did I mentioned it's YOUR enginieers not mine. I told them to try - I begged them. But they used their engineering slang and told something about caching and static data and not dynamic adaption and currently better to make a system robust first. I told them it was you who demanded it but they just said: If we do it we do it right and right now we do it not. They were very rude. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Something's strange about the way scientists addition to quality is calculated. I came back after about 10 hours offline and had 12,000 or so scientists. Their listed value for increasing quality was less than 2000. After I killed them all, at 1899 scientists, their listed value for quality is above 35,000. Do the numbers somehow go negative at a point?
Commander, it's not the way that is strange it these scienitst. I think since they used the showers on Planet No. 111, they behaved very wierd. Maybe there was something in the water. After some discussion with your lawyers they happily aggreed to go back to work sober. Since I asked them friendly to work more careful they don't do experiments any longer. Either this was helping or the fact that some Special Forces threatened to ... talk to their families. As a result in the latest version (0.2.43) of your simulation the successrate is calculated much more predictable. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

I still don't get what the offline bonus does. In other games you get a % of what you get when the game is open, in that cases the max bonus is 100%. English is not my first language, so maybe i just dont understand something.
Commander, English is not my navtive language as well. This is Scheibenkleister. Maybe our writers did a bad job and did not explain the offline bonus well. I'm very proud that you ask a Corporal. Here is my answer: Yes, you do earn more by beeing offline than by beeing online. The bonus as added on top of the usual income. In fact it does make sense to come back after a while. This is due to our mathematical discrete optimization team. It was optimizing the hell out of our simulation. The result is: When you are away, your team will earn more than when you are being online. This by the way has nothing to do with your leadership skill, realy. This is just to train your decision making, since you need to calculate when is the best time to come back and update vs. stay offline. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Regarding the scientist negotiation problem Corporal, perhaps you can motivate the new team to sign the contracts by kidnapping their families and threatening to throw them into the cold void of space. Should help matters tremendously. Anyway good work so far with everything.
Commander, your creative problem solving is unmatched. Of course I tried this one already with the curent team and it seems to work quite fine. In the next contract our scientist will do their work differently. On the other hand I have to admit, that these solutions only work for short term. Since the current science team will only stay for a limited time, that works quite fine for now. And it is even fun. For the new team I have to say, I want to go another way and treat them a little better. Sounds strange I know, but I read in a book that being friendly might help to increase motivation. But at first I need to read the book "How to be a nice dictator". Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.
Commander, I heared from Commander tibor89 that he had a similar problem. He was working for a very secret organization called Order 66. So he wanted to leave no traces in the history. We were looking into that issue and figured out that Firefox was giving problems in the History settings. If that is the case for you as well, there are three possible solution our developer team figured out: a) Use “Remember History” in the settings b) use another browser c) wait for the cloud save. Only the last solution is fixable by our team. Unfortunately our lawers are busy kicking some science asses and preparing the negotation deal with Faulpelz prime (aka premium feature). So our resources are limited and my advice is to use a) or b). Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

Haven't even started playing yet, but I had to say that I LOVE the way you set up the Patch Notes and the 'coming-soon' text on features not yet in game. It's very cool :3
Commander you intellect is inmatched in the known universe. I guess this was not a question. You where teaching your minions, right? I also expect you are teaching your minions what a bonus is. So that they learn the difference between 101% bonus and 101% base. I'm always surprised by your didactic ingenuity. Your minions will be the best. Sincerely Corporal Tutnix.

I'm not sure but it would appear weapons aren't updating unless quality % increases, whereas my power has substantially increased, and even a poor roll on quality should yield a better weapon. Maybe I'm just consistently unlucky.
Commander, like Commander ReverendDel suggested we threatened some of the scientist to work harder. I can tell you this was helping tremendously. Even this is just a short solution and the deal with our scientist will end soon. It will help the last days to make a little easier. Our lawers are working to update the deal wihtin the next days.
