As (some of other players also did) I have already bougth most electron upgrades, I think before the next update It would be wise to buy as many atoms upgrades as possible. Anyway, are they limited any way? Cause byuing 3rd atom upgrade after 6th purchase would not have a sense, unless there is a change in the amount gain.
Each atom upgrade has 3 upgrades. The first 2 are QOL upgrades then the 3rd is a real upgrade. You can buy 5 of those each. Getting as many as possible of those now is the best thing to do while waiting for the update.

I think this was insipired by Antimatter dimensions which i have comepletely beaten up to the newest update. This puts a different spin (a good one) on the mechanic of one generator makes the one before it. Large numbers are fun to play around with. I'd honestly love to see a lot of content come out for this game to become as large as AD. I am aware that AD takes much much longer to progress significantly in some cases but you still are seeing numbers move and you still make small decisions and make small upgrades that influence how fast you get to the breaking down the wall you are at...

From reading some responses there i know there is a new mechanic that will make the game a lot less boring but im stuck at 1e52 ep and even after sleeping with the tab open i still wasnt able to break a reset for 1e53. I think that the last Gamma upgrade will help with the massive multi to all generators but its almost impossible to get to the upgrade. im at 1e201 electricity and i need 1e205 to get the upgrade but because my EP is stuck and takes days to make any progress I cant make nearly enough electricity to get the upgrade. Its also kind of hard to keep motivation when i don't know what unlocks the next mechanic, I'm not sure if im super close or really really far away and the fear that the next week will consist of me staring at the same numbers makes it hard to want to continue the game. Overall though i think the game has really good ideas, like unlocking perm upgrades when hitting electricity milestones, i think thats what keeps early to mid EP game interesting.
Remember to farm expansions! Expansion Upgrade 13 gives a mult to EP gain, and AU3 makes that effect stronger. Other than that you have to build up AU2. The next mechanic unlocks at e75 EP.

The Balancing in this game is really weird. Its a slow early game but i find that completely fine, i got through it by having a youtube tab open and checking in every 5 or so mins. But then progress explodes. Suddenly you go from having a few 6th generators to having the first generators at max prestige and a few away from starting EP. EP is actually pretty balanced compared to most idle games. you are actually idling and you come back to making a decent amount of progress... its kinda grindy until you get the prestige autobuyers and then you have to reset for EP hundreds of times to get some of the upgrades which is just 10 mins of clicking the same button. but then it hits a massive wall with the gamma beta and alpha upgrades. the first few are kinda just given to you as you already have the required amount of resources to buy them but then as you get to the first autobuyer in alpha upgrades it takes a long long time to make any progression.

It's a good test, and I'll check out the github. I'm mostly glad that I went to Kong out of nostalgia, and there was still something new that showed promise. Thank you for that

After reaching the point of getting 6 omega it feels to stand still. im not sure how i can get it further. And restarting it 17 times over for the second generator feels like its not the right thing to work to.

Ah right, something that must be mentioned, you have some sort of memory leak or something, usually the speed at which I got the resources was between 1/4th and 1/10th of what was announced, but most of the time the numbers just jump so fast it doesn't impact so much, just quite annoying when you need something fast and not depending on a higher gear

I think I finished the game, that is unless there is something after Omega and Electrons, since it seems I have bought all Omega upgrades, and all useful atom upgrades. To be honest, some automation come waaaay too late, such as the Expansion Autobuyer which is unlocked only once it finished being useful. Changing omega builds in some sections to move forward was fun, but there is some stretchs that are quite annoying since most omega automations come late. The simulation also has a soft cap, it is pretty slow then just explodes forth, being nearly required to go pass e15 omega. All in all, it is quite nice, just some automations are unlocked quite late, making some sections more annoying, needing an autoclicker. I'll keep playing until I reach e50 omega just in case, but otherwise a message saying we reached the end would be nice too

Sorry but this is not good. It's the most barebones effort put into an incremental "idle" upgrader. Click button to upgrade, click button to prestige. That's it. Nothing fancy or entertaining to keep you occupied while playing, nothing worth really aiming for. just because it's idle doesn't mean no effort should put into it. I'm not saying to reskin other idle games but if this is all you have to put forward vs every other idle game, what makes this one stand out? wish you luck.

Something's wrong with the time calculation, Game says I get 1e163 electricity per second but it appears to take 10 seconds for that. Same with energy and my energy/s always higher than my energy.

Definintely run into a solid brick wall once you get into the lower tiers of Beta upgrades. Expect 24hrs of sitting there with zero progress, waiting to get a single point (and needing 3 points to get one upgrade, then five points for the next!).

The Expansion Autobuyer really needs to be a percentage / multiplier amount of the previous expansion. So like if its a 10x multiplyer, and you expanded at 1000, then the next expansion would be 10000 and then 100,000, and so on. as fixed number, I have to be constantly adjusting it so i'm not expanding too quickly or too far out which gets to be a huge pain later in the game.

The omega upgrades definitly have to be explained better. I often find myself having no idea which upgrade is buyable and why. First, I thought they were all buyable, then I found out you had to start top left. Then I found you can go right and down from there. I went down and wanted to go left from there then, didn't work. so I thought, you have to get the top row from left to right and can then go down. So I tried to go right and then one down, didn't work again. It really has to be made more understandable.
In the info tab it says "You need to buy every previous upgrade to be able to purchase the next." It starts in the top left corner and ends in the bottom right. So the "previous upgrades" is the one above and to the left. If there is no above, then it's only the upgrade to the left. If there is no left, then it's only the upgrade above.

The fact that writing "e" in the expansion autobuyer AUTOMATICALLY EXPANDS, needs to be fixed. Change that auto-buy hotkey to something else!

I'm still a bit confused on the gold / fighting mode. Can you try to explain what I can use gold on and why do I need to fight?
When unlocking a new mechanic make sure to check the info tab if you're confused.
Simulation has two different modes. Gold mode, and fighting mode. In fighting mode you will fight enemies, and in gold mode you will gain gold. Gold is spent on upgrading your heroes. Your heroes makes you stronger and increases your gold gain.

Addendum to my previous post concerning perfprmance issues:
The Problem was consistent, even on github -> BUT: Only for Firefox. Since we can now export the save, I tried Chrome and it seems to run just fine so far.

Hotkey "E" for expand gets triggerd if you are trying to set up expansion autobuyer and using numbers like 3e57 since it has "e" in it. might want to change the hotkey or disabling it when that textbox is in use.

Would be nice if Expansion ~Upgrades~Milestones displayed how much energy you need to unlock them. Would be easier than calculating it in head every time.

Can you make game field larger, cause i still see everithing. If you make it 10 times larger i definetly cant see everything in my monitor!

If you're stuck around e60 EP, set the auto expansion to 1 and let it run for a while. You gain a bonus to EP based on how many expansions you have done.

Ok, so I played it for a bit. It was definitely inspired by antimatter dimensions. The balancing is a bit off, but the gameplay is still quite fun.
I'd also love to see some more visual clues as to what happened (i.e. The Expansion Upgrades should be green instead of blue, since you don't buy but earn them.)
It's 1/5 of the seconds spent in expansion to the power of how many of of the upgrade you have. so 300 seconds or 5 min with A2 at lvl 5 is: (300/5)^5 = 7.776e8

at first, its a bit slow, but when it starts to ramp up, it REALLY ramps up. i used to have to at least wait 10 seconds for each upgrade and now i can only keep up by holding m!

really nice and simple, BUT: offline progress is needed badly, considering the very poor performance this game has when the numbers get bigger.. Testet my old game with x^30000 energy or so, and my pc instantly felt like a rig from the 80s. tested without cookies/chached files etc and the "fresh" game ran like it should. I hope you don´t "actuelly" let our machines calculate those numbers? xD
It does save. It saves every 10 seconds. I'm not sure why your save got deleted. Did you delete anything? Or do you have some weird settings maybe? Try to open the game again and buy something, wait a little while then refresh and see if it saves for you.

Really need to make it so you never lose your autobuyers without locking that behind the last gold upgrade, grinding omega takes way too much clicking

If you do go down the path of offline gains, they wouldn't have to be linear. Exponential offline gain calculation could be appropriate for some metrics
I will add offline gian, but probably not for everything. I'll definitly add it for A2 and a few other things, but probably not normal generators and such. Maybe I'll add a speedup thing like some other games has but idk. Maybe.

I'm bopping along at e61 Expansions, thinking that it would be nice to set the Expansion Autobuyer at "every x hours", or even better, "x times current cost of Multiply EP gain upgrade"
