forced to reset..... had 200k pp.... but couldnt complete a mission (3k alien turn in) untill i gathered another 250k aliens ugh
For hackers you need to gather enough cash to start recruiting them. You can generate cash by selling aliens. Basically you have to switch around the generators to balance production of resources - you should steer towards generating as many aliens ( that will produce alien tech passively) and hackers (that will reveal documents passively).

rates should have units of time^-1 not time. maybe call it spawn time instead of spawn rate or give the multiplicative inverse of the value
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
As example for runners the spawnrate and spawnamount is 1000/697*50=71.73 71.73 is the basevalue and this gets multiplied by the MP gain. For the Furries its 1000/1050*50= 47.61. Its only like 2/3 worth of the Runners but the MP gain is so exponentially unbalanced there it beats everything. Also with this Basevalue before it gets multiplied by MP Gain you should be able to balance them all good. Thats why the example here just to help you.
Thanks for sharing this example, we'll further work on the balance optimizations and at that time we can also check the example of yours. Thanks for sharing it.

Also Furries is like minimum 98% of all MP income even when we upgrade them uqal with the OCD upgrade so i just nvm everything and go for Furries MP increase and health is only useful to increase on the gamer. It is pretty good with the Invisibility too even that it's just 200ms duration. I had to increase max unit spawns and other stuff and theres no way current for me to get even more skillpoints. Also that we can't reset skills to get these skillpoints all back is a bit sad.
It kinda changes which unit is producing most MP during the game stage you are at, and it also depends which skills you decide to use. More skillpoints will be introduced really soon when we'll introduce new gameplay options, hopefully we manage to release the reset skill option as well ;) Can't wait we release all this, we'll share WIP in the next days.

77,1B Prestige Points and im at Area 97 current. Maybe something special also awaits us at either Area 100|101 or 102?
We are currently fully working on a bigger update that will bring something special/some awesome features to Area Raiders. Feel free to read more on the forum...

Mage Specialization: Spawning Units. Oh so thats why he's capped at spawn amount of 5 while i have up to 40 from others?! THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SPAWNING UNITS SPECIALIZATION!!!

More health for my units means they need longer to die and this gives less MP because there's not even benefits to be at a higher area so why not just ignoring the health from them forever? Increasing their Health is actually selfowned until we get finally benefits from higher area. The MP/second decreased significantly when i upgraded gamer from 9k to 18k health. That's why i noticed it. So the MP gain have to increase by the factor of health increase. Double my health gives double MP for this unit and so on. To prevent SELFOWNED ISSUE! Hello Dev?
Good observation, indeed it would reduce MP gain, which especially with not much benefits from progressing to new areas right now is not ideal.
Right now we're focusing on a major content update, that will also resolve some of these issues. And with it we'll also do an other bigger rebalance. So until then we probably won't push many big balance changes, as it's just double work, and resolving not much long term. Might be able to throw in one more balance update this week, to improve it until the bigger update later this month.

game has recently become unplayable. The game will randomly totally freeze up and even after restarting the page the game will still be frozen.
1) Does it freeze up completely or for a few seconds, i..e during saves?
2) if it doesn't load on refresh, can you please check developer console F12 and send us the error logs? Someone already did so we'll push a fix for that, but just in case yo ugot a diff error it'd be much appreciated!

Clearing area 51 should reward us with 1 skillpoint for free each time. I just look at the 10times skillpoints increase and think what is this garbage?! This suggestion would fix this nonsense!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Can you add the function to show how much MP % each unit gains? Like gamer gets 70% MP and the other 30% are splitted between the rest of the units.

Incredible idea. Unluckily, you've got many thumbdowns from wannabe Area 51 raiders too scared to leave the basement.
Thanks :) Locked in the basement might be part of the reason for that, but the game was also a bit buggy, poorly balanced & repetitive/not much depth at the start, so lower ratings were fair tbh. We fixed many of these issues and are preparing a major content update, so hopefully it will encourage more people to leave the basement and put a 6 star rating on the game!

There is something wierd with atleast health upgrade.. Runner currently has 50 and the light blue below sais if upgrading runners will have 37..
We noticed some bug there yesterday as well - will be looked at asap - and we have a bigger update coming tomorrow as well, so it will be batched with that :)
Can you please open up a Developer console (f12), then click on the Console tab and copy&paste those logs and send it over to us via PM/forum. That would help us a lot! Thanks in advance!

i have 21 PP and this gives +210% MP. It should also give +210% health for all units to fix this issue that healthupgrade is totally pointless right now.

Rightclick on the tab and just select the mute there. I don't understand why many complain about sound like you guys never noticed this obvious feature? sry but thats insane stupid not noticing it for years.
After your report, we did all needed researches and figured out that indeed you were charged 30 kreds on the backend, not 25 (our onitial price for that product was 30 and after we decided to lower it just before the release, and it seems that it stayed 30 on the backend). We fixed the issue with this immediately and reported it to Kongregate stuff , who refunded the difference in kreds to all those users who bought a Skater skin pack.
So, all should be fixed and running properly now.
The arrow down is currently just showing you the option to scroll down, it is not clickable. However, we decided at the end to add a scroller side bar on all the menus where needed. Currently, we are testing it, but this should go live really soon (probably today already)…

Area 51 contains sky blue bricks (boring, nothing special.) also 51+ you walk under them and just save all aliens (expect it is a bug)
Soon, we'll add something bigger on that level, which I assume you'd love to see it changed. But, let it be a surprise for now. Will let you all guys know about the planned update in the next days…
and thanks for reporting the issues you are getting on levels over 51. This was just forwarded to our programmers to check into more details on what is going on on those levels. Expect an update/fix of this one hopefully in the next days.

If the alien upgrades end up ramping up to the tens of thousands after just a few uses, we should be able to "Prestige" whenever we want, even if we dont gain any more PP. Because its literally impossible to get there before next year ends.
Meanwhile, we've done a bigger balance update, which should solve the issues you mentioned on the aliens. Also, there will probably be more options to get more aliens with the October updates.
Glad that you like the game! ..what exactly do you mean you can't turn off the sounds? Do you have some specific sounds that are still popping up even though they are turned off in Settings or you can't see the option to shut them off (even though you scroll down the menu in Settings)?
The whole process of spending PP's works on a 'sacrifice' model. In that case you sacrificed (spendable) MP boosters for a permanent 20% boost. However, as it may not seems the best idea ever, you start upgrading skills which intention is to boost your progress in the long- term. Yesterday, we also added a new way to get Free skills -> now you can exchange Aliens for them. So, you can now decide to stock the PP's (if you want) and exchange the aliens for better boosts. All depends on your wishes/type of playing. Expect more improvements in different fields of the game with the next updates we plan to release!

OMG!
I finally got 10 pp and bought an upgrade.
I wont comment that I lost the bonus on mp, the next upgrade needs 100 pp?
That will take a month!
Please fix the balance!
Edit 8th Nov: With the new update, where now there is a also an Arctic base with the same, but separate price scaling, which will help a lot with getting enough skill points. Adding sacrificing aliens on top of that should give plenty of skill points. We'll further increase that once we add more skills :)

Boring, repetitive, and laggy/choppy. Not that bad of a try, but 1/5 sorry, seems so unfinished and unpolished. Typical of kongregate nowadays.
Thanks for taking time to write this down! No hard feelings here, we are aware that not everyone would be a fan of the game and its features. However, we are determined to update the game further, to improve all 'bad' parts of the game and we still have tons of ideas now on further improvements and other content additions that will hopefully come out very soon. And all that updates should surely change your view on the game! :)
It may happen that at the time you get on Chrome the counter MP/s used 10 stronger units that were spawned on the field (than it took on FF) in the last x seconds. That may cause potential difference in your example. However, we'll still look further in more details on this specific example. Thanks for taking time and reporting it!

Hope this game gets better mechanics. Theres nothing really to do around 32 but leave for few hours and come back to click 1 or 2 upgrades.
This is still a basic version of raiding, but we'll be updating it quite regularly, so you can expect a lot more to be going on after those levels. We are about to focus on the progression improvements, prestige/ skill additions, special unit abilities,…we'll surely do our best to further improve the quality of Area Raiders!

Also, instead of the wall having a specific amount of HP, include a damage reduction. Example: in Area 5, the wall has 20 HP and damage reduction of 5 which means you need to increase the damage of the mobs to infiltrate the wall. You can finish each area without upgrading the damage or HP and rely on mob spawn rate, mana gain and mob amount.
Anyways. It's a really fun game. I am enjoying it right now.

When you change the browser view size, you know, the 100%, etc., The box in game changes as well. What happen is the text box reaches the edge of the allotted space and it goes down. The issue is that since the text box is larger than the label, the label stays behind.
This is how it looks on the upgrade when I shrink the browser size:
Health | Damage | Speed | Mana Gain
123 123 123
123
The mana gain text box goes down leaving the label behind. It'd be nice if the whole table shrinks instead including the text size instead of changes in the format.

brent113 - Cheat engine much?
People like this need the top score to nurse their insecurities, bless them.
Anyways, I enjoyed playing this so far and I look forward to the updates!
Yeah, indeed - that numbers can't be reached in such a short amount of time! AW, thanks for playing the game, glad you like it and feel free to test&play the new updates that are just about to come out in a few hours!
These updates are one of the most important/urgent on our to-do's list. We already pushed first progression updates on Friday, more will follow in the next days. Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot to us, as we are really trying to improve the game further!

So I can not get any further. I am in area 31, my income is forfeited as units start to get stuck over time. From 2k / s to 1k / s etc. I've learned that by restarting the game you can reset your income, but sometimes you lose any money you've spent on investing, or lose all of the money you earned in the past minutes / hours. Say saving every 30 seconds works only every 2nd to 3rd time. You have to move on to the next area to get a safe savegame.
you surely need to come back more often! :) In the whole month, you'll be missing a lot of great updates! :) but, yeah 3PT already give you first boosts in case you decide to Prestige on that point. We were a bit careful about the speed and the progression at start, so that we can now further improve/optimize it without the need to revert sth.

I'm at area 34 in my first run (No pp) and it's quite a large wall. I've been keeping up with units and attribute upgrades, but it still feels like I'll need a several days of play before I can reach my first prestige. Feels a little too slow.
It might happen, but the game itself wasn't build in full based on 1 event, as we can now freely add lots of additions/ other new/fresh content. That's the beauty of Area Raiders! :)
