(part 2) Never purchased second lift engine, drummer, gun powder or caravan, or bungee jumper, saw no benefit. Definitely buy and raise Galileo to 150 and telescope to 40. From there, recommend raising only scope as the benefit for upgrade is much greater than raising Galileo. The icon for the clock shows up but is 50B science, so I don't have it yet. I raised telescope to 40 and my science went from millions to billions within a day. play maybe 45 minutes a day for last week in 20 minute intervals throughout the day. Not much point in playing unless you have quick time minutes. once out of time, leave and come back 4-5 or more hours later and continue.

I'm almost done with floor 17. I have 97.0e36 coins, 2.14B Science and have purchased all of the artifacts, as they are purchased with science, not coins. I have 605 gold bricks and restarted 4 or 5 times, since beginning. Highest level of restart was just after starting floor 11. Since then, I just keep going and I spend 90% of money on helicopter (level 216), Elephant (380), miners (440), Brick Producer (250). Those are primary. The other areas I upgraded as needed as I start each floor and need to speed things up. (lift engine 130, water pump 550, trees 260, grass water pipe underground 182 and mowers for elephant 176 etc....) .

Any idea how the caravan works? I have it auto selling everything but don't seem to be getting money or losing resources

I can get all artifacts(1 artifact only)on crazygames version but can't get any artifact on Kongregate version.I think kongregate has no ads.I can't get second science generator,too.

Level 20 ! Upgrade your quarry, your helicopter and your elephant. Don't buy gunpowder and don't buy any artifact. Restart after each new level. No need for bungee jumper and telescope.

i dont understand why you "abbreviate" starting in the 1000s but still go out to 2 decimal places. '1.19k' golden bricks is more characters than just using the full number. its also less accurate because according to the achievement tracker i have 1187

To reach the point where you start generating extra science is to take advantage of the extra science gathering bonus, reset however many times needed, level up Galileo to about 7K (over level 100), leave the game, then come back for it after being away for about a day, repeat a couple times, get the time boost to rack up some serious science funds (depending on Galileo level & from daily bonus if possible), then you'll soon purchase the telescope to easily afford the boosts in no time.

seems you keep the amount of science you have plus the science upgrades when you reset. but you don't keep the science generation level

You can infinitely reset numerous times until you reach 2,000 golden bricks, though you lose extra money every time, and yet you can still inch in extra boosts after every reset.

After reaching a certain amount of golden bricks when u restart right away you get 1 extra gold brick. I was at over 2 floors when I noticed. So if you keep restarting u can get over 2k prety fast, then completing all badges is a piece of cake.

Just finished level 20. Total time: 50 days (did not play anywhere near every day). Total golden bricks: 3.31k. Artifacts: 0. I never got any machine past the bungee jumper, but restarted every time I got to a new level (albeit after waiting a bit to see if I could figure out how the new level worked).

Answering my own question, I was doing something wrong. It turns out that the amount of stone generated by the helicopter depends not only on the helicopter level, but also the quarry level. If you upgrade them both in tandem, you'll get to higher values faster.

For people looking for the level 10 and 11 upgrades: they cost 250 sextillion (10^21) and 100 septillion (10^24) (per the wiki). I have gotten to floor 12 or 13 and I have never gotten above quintillions of coins, so either I am doing something wrong or I am doing something right.

I've got a level 10 tower, and nowhere even close to enough money to build the caravansery. What's the best way to farm money production? I've been leveling up the helicopter, but that's pretty slow going. Every other resource seems to be orders of magnitude behind that in terms of money production, though.

I think I found a bug to get infinite golden bricks. After you have enough golden bricks to have the second floor completed on reset, it's seems like that you can immediately gain 1 more golden brick on reset. So you can just spam the reset and get 2k bricks fast.

Could somebody please elaborate how the mini tower from the moon stairs is supposed to work? I have it about 5 floors behind the main tower's progress (thanks to the occasional "free floor" daily bonus; shout-out to the dev), but it just seems to grow and nothing else. Is it designed to activate once it is above the highest floor or am I missing something? Also curious what the threshold (science or coins) is for the Gem Room under the pipe. Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Final comment for those who can't find science after reaching level 11: you need a bunch of money to unlock it, and the button to unlock it doesn't appear until you get closer to the number, so just stop upgrading for a bit and let your cash build up and eventually you'll see the science button

The balance is a little bit off once you unlock the helicopter, pretty much nothing makes you more income than stone, so you only upgrade the other things if you need to keep pace for production. So that means that buy the time you unlock science, the artifacts are completely useless except for stone and market prices, and I guess build speed.

It's a fun little game. I like the mechanics. I'd recommend playing for a little bit, then coming back each day and playing for 30 minutes at a time, that way you can play sped up and then just quit playing again and popping in for 30 minutes each day.

@idlkjw2skd i dont agree i'm not sure maybe the login rewards were different when you said that but i tried that/your method went forward a couple of days and all the daily login rewards i got were/are literally trivial and useless at least what i got up to the point of me stopping im playing the game normal now instead im like 4 to 5 days in also warning skipping the clock forward keeps those days on the login so i had to literally wait irl however many days i skipped to start getting logins again, my daily login today was 600 planks....thats literally nothing you need thousands and millions and billions past the first couple floors just for 1 brick section or 1 plank section let alone the whole floor lol i cant imagine getting to floor 10 let alone floor 20 with just logins

I am unsure if there is anybody on this thread who knows the specifics, but if someone could update the wiki with more relevant information for building bonuses past Galileo (Stairs, UFO, etc.), especially with respect to the amount of science you have to amass to unlock them, that would be awesome.

@hulkster1182: You get golden bricks by prestiging or occasionally from the daily bonus. To prestige, go to Boosts in the upper left, then Restart near the bottom.

I advaned a couple of weeks using idikjw method and when reset my time date to auto and reloaded the game, everything remained.
It worked for me, try it before you advance to far and test it yourself

The fastest way to beat the game and get all the badges is probably to advance ur PC clock by 24 hours, collect the daily bonus and repeat until you reach floor 20. Use reset once so that kong registers that u have 2k+ golden bricks. Do not reload the game or else ur progress will reset.
Seriously though - the new owners of kong seem to be desperate in order to give badges to everything that is just dull grind. Back in the old days the badge system was there to promote games of quality, which was why I liked it. Today when a game is being badged it means that this is a game that I'd better avoid playing. It used to be badges for games with wit or a nice story line, or with innovative gameplay - today such games are being rejected by kong, and everything is being done to shove this dull grind idiocies down our throats. I don't care one bit about the new badges, kong; at all.
