However, the less boost you receive to your cps, the less you'll be able to progress because the amount of CPS we gain from crystals are minor. Case in point: my 2 alt accounts have much less boost than my main one, and both are behind my main. One is way behind too.
Thanks again. A HUGE update with rebalance is almost out. I've almost fixed this "injustice" of RNG in DNA. It's going to balance all of your accounts out

There's a lack of balance between DNA/RNA and the generators. The cps boost the generators receive is so much bigger than the crystal boost that eventually the amount of crystals you receive will not be able to budge your cps. Case in point: If I double my crystals my cps will increse by e143. I have e276 right now

This game is utterly stupid. As I have said before, just wait for the next update, and everything is 100 times faster. There is no point of playing between updates. The dev of this game has no clue how to balance things.

4 of my next 8 genes are 1.024 or close to that, 1.048, is this by design? What is your plan behind these upgrades that improve gains negligibly?

There's still a massive progress wall after about e80 crystals. The new upgrades do NOT help. I've very slowly clawed my way to e85 crystals and progress is slow as molasses.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I'm sorry, but the last updates help little with the wall. I don't know if it is because of my unlucky DNA-upgrades or because tier 11 upgrades are five to ten times weaker than they should be, but I'm still stuck at 60/64. Doubling my crystals takes the better part of a day, and getting to the next DNA upgrade would take days. I'll once again recommend a complete revamp of how DNA upgrades work (away with all RNG, to begin with), EVEN RETROACTIVELY.
DNA was rebalanced in a past update. I won't get rid of RNG, but I've corrected it so everybody's winning (works only for newly generated RNAs though, an option to rewrite DNA will be available soon (or not so soon)).

I've been playing this for a while and I have to say the balance in this game is abysmal. I generally like the gameplay and the ideas behind the main mechanics and especially the not so subtle references. However, the fact that you can get close a point in the game that used to take days to get to in minutes and the progression is rng based meaning you can be completely stagnated and have to wait for an update to give u free progression boosts making the early game even more trivial is absurd. I have high hopes that this game can become really good with changes in progression.

From my discussion with other players, we seem to have different bonuses on the same # strand, leading me to believe they are random.

@Talvion: if that's true, then a major revamp is in order. On does not simply introduce that kind of RNG in an idle game.

seemingly the dna strands that u get are random; on my latest evolution ive been cursed with a bunch of crystal % boosts n a row making it nigh impossible to reach something that would even moderately improve my production

The new update and tier 11 is great, but since tier 11 of the box only gives about 2x as much CPS as tier 10 of the star, there still is a nasty wall at around 100 SxV crystals.

To get dna number 64 it's going to take days or weeks. To get there from 63. It's taken all day to get half way to affording 63. But 63 only doubles gains. So I need twice the price of 63 to break even on gains. That's like 2 days for 63. Then 21 times that long to get to 64. Hoping some more Generator levels are on the way.
The issue is that you are seeing DNA as the only way to progress. This thing is dedicated to help you progress so you can buy upgrades that are too expensive otherwise. There is going to be 13 levels of generators (7 + 6 extras)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ok, just calculated the time i need for the next DNA upgrade: 10 Days, not accounting for diminishing returns on crystals and that you should have around twice as much crystals for DNA upgrades to not get set back a ton, since crystal boost upgrades are very weak

My Photosynthesis Achievement got deleted and now I have to evovle during the day again, too bad I hit the ceiling at 5 spv crystals. No progress for 24 hrs, but still a far shot from the 80spv i need for the next DNA. Gonna wait for the update and hope we get more boosts to income

The game needs a inbuilt autoclicker. Without clicking it would take me ages to progress, but I can’t leave autoclicker on everytime everyday.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
wall in not bad thing-anyway this is idle game, not keep-every-second-clicking game.
maybe some wall is better than possible upgrade every 10 minute. keep moving!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think you've done it. I can tell this is still a work in progress, nevertheless, out of the hundreds of idle games I've played, you have created one of the few rare ones where I feel some motivation to keep playing more than just 1 or 2 nights. Total play time so far: 22 days. Thank you for making this.

I take it back. I hit a wall a 42/48 DNA. But that's fine. 2 achievements left and I don't know how to get them. I'll go on to the next idle game though.

1 - 42 RNA takes about two hours of play, 43 onwards is at least a 12h to a day offline. Active play has zero benefit during this time

Funny how you can just prestige as much as you want in succession. Went from my legit 42 prestiges to 1,000 with an auto clicker in a minute.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I didn't realize I could click the DNA strands in the DNA screen. So for a few minutes I was like why did I have 0 crystal gain?

Star seems to be broken, as if an upgrade was missing. It contributes ca. 1.5% to CPS after upgrading it to the last tier, which doesn't make sense given all the previous patterns and hampers further progress.

Overall I've really been enjoying this game, and i know this has been said many times, but the lag really hurts the experience for me.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Having almost all achievements (except of only Bankai), having bought all the upgrades possible, it seems almost impossible to do the fourth to last dna (after second evolution) upgrade. even third will take enormous amounts of time
