I'm having a problem progressing because brain power gain still isn't high enough. I have 26.5 unvigintillion brain power and I still only get 1.18 septendecillion brain power from resetting.
Hey ShaneY5. Thank you for letting us know and for being such a passionate player. We checked the issue, and you are so advanced that you’ve hit a hard cap. We will work to fix that quickly over the weekend and update the game early next week. We’ll announce it in the news section when it’s ready.

Okay, I've got ads back for the Volcano. But now, all quests for crystals are chance only, set amount plus chance for extra. gold quests and brain power quests are paying out lower %'s. And you absolutely, completely nerfed earned brainpower.
Hi albinomare, i'll check your savegame for any brain gathering issue. We've tried a new formula, and it can be possible to be a hardcap at some point.
That's why we've introduced the mission system, to balance any possible hardcaps.
I'll get back to you once I figure out what the issue is :)
LE: you're right, there's a hardcap at your level with the current brain formula. Will come with a fix asap!

I hate ads, but the game doesn't give nearly enough free crystals to justify crystals for x2 gold on return and x2 gold for 4 hours, either fix ads or give more free crystals. game just grinded to a halt for me because of losing x4 gold daily. I can barely get 0.5% brainpower from a 2 day run.
Hey cortesej, thank you for the feedback. We reintroduced ads for Aurora Marmialis (volcano).
To clarify, we had initially removed the ads because we had multiple reports that ads are not working/are unavailable and the players are getting frustrated. So we got the impression that people are not using them so much and would be better if we just remove them altogether. We realized from all the comments + votes that our understanding was wrong, so we brought back the ads Aurora Marmialis. We are happy to hear any additional feedback you may have and improve the game based on it - comment, private message or forum.

So No ads to double Idle, no ad based 2x from the volcano, ambassador missions getting suckier, and stuck in the grind because I can't progress(2401 Mine). Am I missing anything?
Hi albinomare, thanks for the inputs. We reverted the ads for volcano based on players' feedback. To clarify, we had removed the ads everywhere because we had multiple reports that ads are not working/are unavailable and are frustrating players. So we got the wrong impression that people are not using them so much and would improve the experience to remove them altogether. We realized from all the comments + votes that our understanding was wrong, so we brought back the ads Aurora Marmialis.
We did not make any significant changes to the ambassadors missions, so I am not clear what is the issue there. Would love to understand and see how we can improve. Would be great if you could send me more details here or via private message.
Hi, leucetios26 thanks for the feedback. We had removed the ads everywhere because we received multiple reports that ads are not working/are unavailable and are frustrating players. So we got the impression that people are not using them so much and would improve the experience to remove them altogether. We realized from all the comments + votes that our understanding was wrong, so we brought back the ads for Aurora Marmialis. If you have additional feedback, we are happy to hear and consider - via comment, private message or forum.

I recommend making the "Finish now for x crystals" button a different color so that people don't click the finish button thinking it's completed. Almost fell for that one myself a moment ago!
Hi sonicfreek, thank you for the feedback. We added a confirmation panel for all the "Finish now for x crystals" buttons. Even if you press the button by mistake you will not spend the crystals unless you confirm that’s what you want to do.

It would be nice to always have a strong spread of timers for missions available. I rarely get on more than once a day anymore, so 6-18 hour timers are preferred, but rarely available. It also makes sense in relation to general game play.
Hey NormaTheNorman, thank you for the feedback. We implemented new rules for missions to make sure you have all types of missions length to choose pending on your play style. Coming in this week’s update. Also, I confirm the rewards values are balanced vs. the mission's length (bigger rewards for longer missions).

Let me rephrase the comment I made a long while back referring to a "Buy to the next upgrade" button.
What I meant was make a button that could upgrade my level 238 greenhouse directly to 300 (where the next 2x bonus is) with only one button push.
I personally no longer care for getting this as a feature, I only bring it back up because I scrolled past a few newer players asking for it.

Something you may wanna fix is the name of the number after Quattuordecillion. What You have after that right now is "Quinquadecillion" when it's supposed to just be Quindecillion. Also, After that you left out the x in Sexdecillion.
Hey sonicfreek, thank you for raising this. We checked the source you shared vs. what we used. This is the article that we used:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers
. We implemented US, Canada, and modern British terminology. The status of this article is “needs citations for verification.” The status of the article you shared is ”this article has many issues” and “this article does not have any sources.” So, for now, the current implementation seems to be the most accurate.
However, it is clear that there are many versions of terminology for large numbers. Pending on what the players find on the internet the interpretation for the same word will differ, and this might be confusing. We are considering switching to an alphabetical system for clarity and simplicity purposes. What do you think about this? Would it help? Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this either here or via pm.
Hey ProspectorSam, currently the only place to use the rocket is unlocking the Embassy feature. To do this, you need to buy 10 fuel in the Rocket view. (The rocket efficiency does not matter at this point, only the fuel.) Then go to the planets view and press on the Embassy to unlock it. Rocket efficiency influences the duration of your missions - the higher your rocket efficiency is, the shorter time your Ambassadors will spend in a Mission.
If you feel this was not clear in the game’s onboarding and have ideas on where we can improve/could be more clear, please let me know - here or via private message.

I don't see a buy to next button anywhere. I have the same options: buy 1, 10, 100, or max. There's no other button above that one.
Hi. The buy next upgrade button we currently have implemented in the main screen refers to the upgrades that you can purchase in the Upgrades menu. Based on your feedback and that of sonicfreek we understand an option of “buy to next upgrade” would be welcomed in the Build Menu. We will implement this option in today's update. The option will be called "Next" and will be added to the existing options (1, 10, 100, max).

Feromon cosmetics brain power upgrade appears -- and stays -- on the right side of the brain upgrades window, even when every other upgrade is bought.

So, in the current game, there's a hard cap once you hit QuinquaVigintillion, around 1700 of each business. Once you get 10 QQV, you're out of upgrades until NovemVigintillion, which is four tiers up, and it's just a 3x boost. And while you do get some gains from 1700 > 2000 buildings (a total of 64x), after that it slows down immensely since it goes from every 100 to every 250 levels. The only real way to progress was to farm Brain Power, which I believe has been drastically reduced (like 90% less gained) in the most recent update. So until there's more content, players will get stuck around this point.

On firefox, I have a freezing problem after trying to click on a spider. Its happened twice so far, both times after clicking on a spider. Otherwise, the game has performed well.
Hi Lycanclaw, glad to hear the game is working well aside from this issue. And thank you for reporting the spider problem. We will check how we can improve that.
Hi sonicfreek, thanks for inquiring. “Buy next upgrade” button can be found in the main screen (the one with all the businesses) on the right lower corner, right above the “Build mode” button. The “Buy next upgrade” button becomes green whenever a player has the needed coins to buy the next upgrade, and it displays the upgrade the player would be buying if pressed. This button is meant to save players the trouble of going through the “Upgrades menu” to buy the next upgrade available.

Nice work :) I've been playing and I have a little suggestion: keyboard shortcuts for menus so we don't need to click them every time.
Hi Antitesis, thank you for the feedback and suggestion :)! Based on it, we decided to add shortcuts for the main menus: upgrades, brainpower, rocket view, galaxy view, build menu. It will be covered within the coming two weeks and will be announced in the updates section of the game.

I'm also wondering about the rocket. I've got it to 100% fuel, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do with it.
Hey again :)! The rocket’s fuel function is meant to help unlock new content in the Universe. At the time when you asked the question, there was no new content to travel to (we were working on it). In the meanwhile, we added the Embassy last Thursday. Hope you will enjoy it. Any other thoughts or feedback you may have we are happy to talk.

Your 2x volcano thing keeps breaking, Id watch the video for the 24 hrs and it keeps resetting. Im not going to spend my time watching videos to get it back all the time. Progress is insanely slow and I have no idea what the point of the rocket thing is as theres no explanations. Been playing it for over a week.
Hi swyph, thank you for reporting. I checked this on my account on a 24-hour span and the timer seems to be functioning accurately. Can you please help us understand better the issue by sharing more details and ideally screenshots to idlespacetycoon@gmail.com. Something like: "at 9.45 PM I had the timer at x and then at 12.45 PM the timer was at Y. " would help.

Now it seems that the earnings rate is slowing down day by day. It seems to be taking longer and longer to get 10k brain power. It definitely isn't speeding up appreciably, which I'd like it to, in order to avoid tedium.
Hey ProspectorSam, thank you for the helpful input. We will update the brain power formula to ensure the game is fun for more playstyles than before and add new mechanics for brain power income. This should fix the problem you are currently facing. The update will happen this week, and we will announce it in the updates section.

Ahhh, I see that my 2X boost is lasting longer now. 15 seconds for the one I just got. That explains why it wasn't going back down after 5 seconds. :)

The display no longer shows my earning rate returning to normal after 5 seconds of the spider-thing boost. I don't know if the actual rate returns to normal.
Hey ProspectorSam. Thank you for the recommendation. Could you please go a bit into details on this? What kind of mouseover tips do you believe are needed and where? A few examples/priorities would help us better understand your suggestion. Either comment here or send me a private message - as you prefer. Thank you :).
Hi TheOddPenguinOut. Thanks, we will consider your feedback. At the moment we find collecting useful for people to see how much each of the businesses produced while they were away and get an idea on which businesses are more profitable. If you want to develop on how you would see an auto-collect feature working, please feel free to write to me here or via private message.

@Descrasnezul: Actually, being HTML5 coded, it does NOT affect your computer. If you're having issues, you may want to try clearing your browsing history, temp files, and cookies. These are things which should be cleared out regularly anyway to improve browsing performance. If you do all that and STILL have issues, try disconnecting your router for about 25 seconds, then reconnecting. That should also improve browsing speeds.
Hi Decrasnezul. Thank you for the feedback. We will try a few more things to improve that in the following couple of weeks (after we implement the new content we are currently working on).

Hi tbarnado. New planets are not yet available, but it is one option we created for adding content in the future. Regarding new content, we are currently working to add a few new locations in the game to expand the game universe. This will be the first new content to be added and will be announced in the updates section.

Love the game but I purchased one of the "permanent" boosts and it went away in the shop so I knew I had purchased it. When I did the "brain" thing it looks as if the boosts I had purchased were back in the shop. How can I be sure my original Boosts are still active. I would assume "permanent" would transcend brain resets.
Hi tbarnado, thank for your kind words about the game!
The effect of a permanent boost is indeed meant to be active from purchase onwards regardless of the number of resets.
1. We double checked and I confirm this is working.
2. We will look for a way to show in the game the active permanent boosts to avoid any confusions. Will announce it in the updates section when done.
3. Currently, we do not intend to have the permanent boosts be purchased more than once, so that part is a bug. Thank you for reporting, we will fix and update by the end of the week.

Hi SataiDelenn, I am in touch with the ad network to find a way to fix this. I shared the info you gave me and asked for a specific check on your case to see what might be the issue. Hopefully, I can come back with an answer in a couple of days. If this happens again in the meanwhile, please share with us a screenshot and the URL of the ad so we can send it over further.

OK, I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but since resetting the game for the second time, suddenly it lags/freezes up every few seconds, and really slows the game down. I'm running the game in Firefox on Windows 7 Professional. Also, per your request, I sent you the information you wanted in regard to the lack of advertisement availability in my area, and as I said in the PM, this is the first game I've ever had an issue with in that regard. Thanks!
Thank you for reporting SataiDelenn. We will work on reproducing the bug and finding a solution. When this is fixed we will announce it in the updates section. Also, thank you for sharing the info regarding the ads. We are already working with the network to fix it as replied in your other comment from the 2nd of June.
Hi Stashiv, good news! We've reduced the build size from 51mb to 35mb (which should help with loading times). Also game tab should now use lower memory (down to 850mb from 1350mb). This fixed the freezes people were experiencing. Let us know if game is loading faster for you. Thank you for playing! :D
Sorry for the issues, just_rach. I've just updated the game and it should now load a bit faster. Let me know if you still have issues playing the game. Cheers!
Hi Dedwynde, thank you for the input. Couldn’t identify the error you are talking about. I suspect it may have something to do with the size of the game which is causing freezes for other players too atm. We are currently working on reducing that. Will announce it in the Updates section when this is done. In case you believe this is something else it would be great if you could send me via private message/comment more additional details on your error (screenshot, describe when it happens, console log) so that we can investigate and fix.

Okay basically this game is super broken right now and the balance has to be fixed. 1-2 days to first reset and then after that, I can reset at will and max everything available?

Hi LeenaKickA, thank you! It's been extremely frustrating the past few days, because of this issue, and so I have barely been playing as I've not really seen the point since the ability to get the double profits has currently been taken away. So having that choice of using the crystals or watching the video would be AWESOME! Thank you for continuing to listen to us! Much appreciated.
Hi SataiDelenn, we just updated the game. You have now two options: watch an ad or spend 5 crystals (the amount was changed for balancing purposes). I would still like to investigate why you can’t see any ads as for the team here they seem to be working now. I just tried 6 times in a row, and I had no unavailability. If you can write to me in a private message the country/timezone, I can ask the add network what could be the issue/try to fix it.

Hey, just an FYI your games footprint is really large. I have not even clicked any thing and you are using 1.3 Million Kilobytes of memory...
Hey Doymecca, thank you for the input. We agree, and we are currently working on reducing the size of the game. Will announce it in the Updates section of the game when this is done.
Hi HyperShadow. We want to develop the game further by expanding into new planets but this is as far as we got with creating content. We realized this is not well enough explained in the game - apologies for that! We added an explanation pop-up offering 50 crystals on the first new planet and disabled the buy fuel buttons for the other planets. Hopefully, this will eliminate any further confusion on this topic.
