Juts out of curiosity, I thought I'd work out how many tier 1 gems it would take to get a single tier 16 gem. With a maxed out gem saver upgrade, making the cost only 6 per tier, it takes 470,184,984,576 gems...6^15 shorthand. That's a hell of a lot of gems XD

there should be an option to make all those pics and then fuse them together to make one powerful one. that way we arent spending a life time looking in our inventory on which one is better than the other

Part 2: Nothing to complain about with the upgrade cost one. Adding other options would be nice as well, such as better pickaxe qualities, weaker minerals, etc.. One other suggestion that I think would be very nice, is another tier-level of gems, up to 20. You can't get them from minerals; only from combining. They would allow you to craft very powerful picks, for a high price (1296 tier 16 gems for 1 tier 20). The only problem I've noticed so far is that sometimes the auto-sell button for the pickaxes will throw away pickaxes that are better than the one equipped, for no reason I know of. If the automine is better, it always stays in the inventory. However, if the damage is better, it won't always stay in the inventory. I'm not sure what causes it, but it can get pretty annoying knowing that a few amazing picks have probably been passed up simply because the game didn't think they were better. Perhaps judging them on overall DPS would be better? (Whichever has the highest DPS stays)

Very long comment(s) inbound... Suggestions for rebirthing: Bonus Damage should be more exponential. Start out at around +10%, but make it curve out to a more valuable number the higher the cost to upgrade it goes. Armor penetration is fine (99.98% max, there's nothing you can really do with it anymore). Starting gems/ starting gold is great for rushing to your next rebirth, but fails to make any use of itself outside of that. Perhaps make higher upgrades give higher gems? The starting gold could be exponential as well. The base combo upgrade is a good idea, but because of how useless active farming becomes after a while (IE it takes 1 second of idle farming to make up for 100 seconds of active farming), this upgrade is also useless. I suggest a re-working of the active damage system, allowing your active damage to raise up to an even level to that of your idling capability. This would fix the combo problem, I believe.

I don't get why someones - every good comment. Your game is great ind I think it's a great idle game. (I suspect this comment will get minus rating once, at least)

maybe some hotkeys would make gameplay nicer instead of having to click each different tab.. and things like craft and sell can be awkward if you are doing it often

what happened to my rebirth stuff? I've rebirthed more than 10 times but my rebirths have been deleted... Did a patch do that(I haven't played since the game came out on congregate April 6th)

The manual click buffs need to scale up faster. The autoclick frequency scales up much faster, so very quickly, combo buffs become worthless.

@night757 Since this is dependant on the level of Mastersmith, you might be able to calculate that with enough information gathered. However, with Mastersmith at around 27.5% I had a +8 as a personal best so far.

@stelargk, there is no official explanation to it. However, you'll sometimes experience a "recycled" message in your log. It seems to work automatically when crafting picks, with the chance determining how often. But it happens far less than you would assume from the percentage. And finally no one really knows how "bad pick" is defined. Could be it means that when crafting, say, 100 picks at once, each next will be better than the one before, until 100 are reached. That's what I assume from my experiences.

I know you probably won't see this, but could you add a sell all button on the mining screen so you don't have to do it manually?

TIP: Perhaps it would be a good idea if you could fuse a gem with an already built pick. So, if I had a good pick I could upgrade its quality by fusing it with... let's say 10 gems. With 20 gems I could access a second upgrade, with 30 gems a third upgrade... and so on

Has anyone figured out how to recycle a pickaxe? I have looked everywhere(I think), and have yet to find one. Unless it means the autosell pickaxes thing, but that doesnt give gems, does it?

I request that there be a toggle between "sell all but three highest ores" option and an additional "sell all but the highest ore" option. Upstanding game, regardless.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I've got to the point where I have a pickaxe with a quality of about 6000%. I now have to wait days upon days to get new ores in the hope I get a better pick with which I can unlock the next ones with.

well i really liked the game at first but now it's a grind fest,actually the rebirth is not really worth,because you always get like the same points,would be cool if you could change that,getting 1,5k to spend is like nothing at a later stage,because the costs are too high late game

Export save would be nice. Someone cleared my computer history and all my saved data for all and any idle games i advidly played. Least to say im stop playing them all because im upset.

After quite some rebirths and a total level of 5773, here's my thoughts: As much as I liked the first few days, it becomes obvious that rebirthing contributes nothing to get farther than before. It does contribute to getting to the same levels faster and that is not enough to encourage people once they get to ++, since progress simply is too slow then. I miss a significant general damage upgrade combined with a less tough progressing curve starting at around the end of the + section. It could have been managed in a way by decreasing upgrade costs. But since it is capped at -95%, there's nothing left to help you at that point.

Tip: When going offline go to chests, if you close the game then come back, you'll get a bunch of gems... i came back 2 days later, it said gems: LOTS, i checked it, i have 8904238490238 Teir 16 gems

I don't see a point in crafting handles and heads separately. For the same materials I can just make a much better pick!
