For Expansion Autobuyer it would be better to depend on the number of Expansion upgrades you can afford after Expansion instead of specific EP amount (EPs needed is always growing up).

I'd highly recommend resizing the game window to fit in the standard Kongregate game frame - I'd suspect that's the main reason your current rating isn't at least 3 stars. In an HTML/JS based game, it should be relatively simple and I think this will help improve player count. Also, the early game pacing is pretty strange. You start off going only slightly too slow at 30sec to a couple minutes, as another user noted. Not quite fast enough to play active, but going idle ends up being unrewarding. Suddenly, the game kicks up to a pace where you're forced to play active by constantly prestiging for the first few EP and going idle effectively gives no progress. It also feels like the rapid pacing spike makes the number of generators a bit excessive, since you just blast through 6-8 without them being any meaningful milestone.
Good job so far, but there's definitely room for improvement

The energy profit seems to be an actual problem as it gets locked after a while. I can leave the game running for a long time and the only way to get past that is to Expand. When it has gotten rid of all my energy, if I am then able to build it up faster, it eventually reaches a higher number and locks there.
I explained in your other comment. You just have really big numbers, so just letting it go up normally won't change it. In your other comment you said that you had e9.490e12, to make that e9.491e12 you would need 1 billion more zeroes, and you're not gonna get that by just idling.
No that's right. "e9.490e12" or e1e13 to simplify it, is 10000...10 trillion zeros...0000. So to make that number go up you have to do more than just idle for a bit :P

might have found a bug, i am not able to buy electron stuff after a certain amount of time (even if i have more than enough electrons), seems like i can "restart" it when i exchange for atoms, but then it blocks up again after 1 or 2 electron upgrades.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I feel the multiply electron gain is too low output compared to the max electrons. I could let it accumulate electrons for a year and I still wouldn't hit my max.

For those of us who are photosensitive, it would be great if holding down the M button would make it so the panels don't light up when they can be clicked; that way, you won't get a constant light blue flicker. I felt nauseous pretty quickly. Maybe add an option to make it so panels don't light up at all?
Also - I can't see my current EP anywhere. Should they be visible?

Alpha Beta and Gamma need to be bulk bought and distributed all at once. That's the biggest slow down in the end game.
I'm not exactly sure, as I have a lot of school work. But hopefully I'll be able to make it soon. I also have to make an update before that tho where I just optimize the game more.

Nice game but, isn't there a bug with great numbers? I'm winning 1e15408 energy per second, but it takes me 4 to 5 sec to go from 1e15407 to 1e15408.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
so i'm at alpha beta gamma (just finished the autobuyer in the beta tree) but i was wondering what the next point is, or more like "when" the next mechanic is, can you put up some general breakpoints or "lvls" or such. just wanna know if i'm an hour out or 2 weeks Thx

Protip : the game runs at normal speed when you don't look at it. Simulation goes ten times faster when I go to a different tab and window.

At 3e30 Omega Points the game is essentially over. No real progress the last few days and I dont see any potential upgrades for further progress. Thought there may be another reset or currency but it looks like there isnt.

Really need some purchase modifiers to buy 10x, 25x, 100x, Max. At least the Max one would be very useful at parts of the game where player has to click hundreds of times to purchase certain upgrades.

Since many people are not sure what kind of mechanics are in the game (or think theres nothing after first prestiege etc):
There are:
- Prestiege
- Expansion generators and upgrades
- Alpha/Beta/Gamma upgrades
- Omega generators and upgrades
- Simulation battles and upgrades
- and finally Electron upgrades
Thats the state of the game as of now (01.03.2021). Be aware that the dev already announced more upgrades and(or mechanics in the future.

I'm rating the game 5* because it deserves way more than its current rating, the slow start is probably locking out a lot of people from the extra contents. Another thing that should really be fixed: I hoarded omegas for hours to unlock omega points multiplier, spend all my omegas to buy it and found out it gave x1.00 bonus. After a copule of days I tried purchasing it again (now I have about a thousand as many omegas as I had the first time) and it still gives x1.00 bonus. At least make it know. On top of that: make it a lot clearer how the omega upgrades tree works
Aww thanks!
There are many people that has had that same issue where they have saved up for it too early D: I'll make sure to add some text on it that says when it starts being useful. I explained how the tree works in the info tab, but maybe not well enough. I could change that up a little. Thanks for the feedback!

PLEASE make it more evident that the first Omega upgrade can be purchased immediately on your first Omega and does not require points. I just spent a week going through the entirety of my second omega without the upgrade because i wanted to buy a generator first and didn't know they dont use the same currency.
I'm not really sure how to respond... On the upgrades it says "Costs: 1 Omega" not "Costs: 1 OP" like on the generators. It also says how much Omega you have above your generators. In the info tab it also tells you that generators generator omega and the upgrades costs omega. It really sucks that you had to waste a week on something that could be done really quickly D: But I don't know how that's my fault.

thx for the response, eyewars! in all seriousness tho, as great as the concept is, this game takes a LOT more patience than a lot of people have (tho i think that their responses have already made that pretty clear). there is a whole section where the fastest route to progress is just pressing the expansion button whenever the number slows down, and ngl it takes a pretty big chunk of the pre-ABG part of the game. the ABG isn't AS bad since you're not just pressing the same button over and over, but the beta upgrades lag pretty far behind the others (i have lvl 7 of the 5th alpha upgrade and Beta is STILL stuck on tier 3 (i almost have gamma's tier 4 if you're curious)). anyway, it's a great concept you have going here, buuuut the balancing REALLY needs work. Come call me when you're v2.0 is ready.

I find it incredibly annoying when it says, for example, +50 gold/sec and I'm only gaining around 10 gold/sec. And it's like that for electricity too. Energy I didn't even check
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I really start feeling like I need to play this with atleast 50x sppedhack or something when trying to get atoms. I am at 1e36 omega points and yet I don't have atoms maxed out, it takes several days just to get a single one and I am also not making any progress when it comes to Simulation
You're not supposed to be able to get all atom upgrades maxed out right now (unless you spend an absurd amount of time grinding them). It'll be easier when the next update comes.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Good concept, but a bit bugged and not balanced. The message says I have 1e11 electricity per second (which would be good). But it looks close to 1e10 (which is way too slow). I get the first 190 expansion points during 2.5 seconds, then 15 during the next 30 seconds, and 3 during the next 30 seconds. So the only way to expand fast is to auto-click every 2.5 seconds.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A suggestion I would make is to have current electricity also visible no matter what screen you're currently on. Tabbing back over to expansion to check my progress towards the next gamma is a tad bit annoying, especially when we can always see Energy, EP, and Omega.

Just as an advice, I at last tested to run my save on both Github and on there (Kongregate), idk why but seems like the ticks go faster there (5-10% faster in my case).
Currently closing the end of the EP grind, this time save is nice ^^
The game isn't very well optimized, so that slows it down somewhat. I will fix this at some point, but right now I'm in the incremental game jam so It'll have to wait a little.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
looking at the atoms upgrades, of the ones costing 2. if you buy the a/b/d one than you dont need the other one of expansion upgrades. it goes so fast its basicly the same.

There's not enough information shown to allow us to understand the impact of our choices, and I feel like there's no really a choice with what to do. We all walk the same path, at the same speed...

Simulation seems to be broken to me. I'm supposed to be getting like 4e8 gold per second, and 2e12 DPS, but I'm not getting anywhere near that level of gold or damage done. I feel like its more like 1/10 of whatever it says i'm supposed to be getting, is what I'm getting. Also I'm playing on the github page. Really could use a link to where to go to post about issues, and a page in the game about changes being made. As is, I'm having to come to Kongregate to communicate issues.
I will make a discord soon!
Also yes, this is a know problem. I think it's because the game is slow, so to fix it I'll have to optimize it. I'll do that at some point.

I'd like to somehow reset my atom upgrades. I focused on reducing the interval, not realizing how fast the cost scales and no finding it the worst choice possible.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I believe I "finished" the game, Bought every Omega upgrades, can nearly instantly resimillate and can really onlyupgrade atoms to get omega points faster to keep up with atom costs :D
I really like the diverse mechanics! Do you plan on adding more over time= (Or did I even miss some?)
Atoms/Electrons is currently the end. I will be making more content tho. I was planing on making the new update next week, but the incremental game jam is next week and I plan on participating in that. So I'll try to make it right after that!

Math doesn't make any sense: I have one "4th generator" with a multiplier of 65, hence I should get 65 "3rd generators" per second, but I get a lot less

A weird exploit:
If you send a keystroke fast enough (depends on your pc, for me its "m-klick-m" every 8ms) the game speeds up. if you find the right sweetspot, you can run the game at triple speed

My big issue is now the Omega upgrade (after the Alpha section). It takes hours to get to Omega, and it isn't worth trying to accrue multiple Omega points. So now it is a grind of each point taking hours. To get the second generator, it would take at least 2 straight days of constant grinding, minimum.
