Clicking the statistics should open a full panel with more detailed stats, complete with percentages and, as someone else already said, credit/citizen split.

@Arkatar_K - is that what it's doing? Reducing the lowest producer to minimal representation? No wonder I was confused when I bought Government District upgrades, since that's almost always my lowest. I was expecting regular normalization, where 0 remains as 0 and everything is just scaled to fit from 0 to 1, without any offset.

I would very much like a setting for the statistics histogram, where instead of having the weakest system always be 1-line high, all systems are proportional to each other, e.g. a system that's exactly half as strong as the best will appear with exactly half a bar.

Is there any way to see the current boost chance or intensity of any sector? I don't necessarily have a use for seeing it offhand, except that I would like enjoy knowing it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I have noticed with the Government District (it may happen with other sectors, but I haven't seen it), when it's the lowest producing sector and I upgrade it, sometimes every other sector in the statistics bar graph except the highest sector is reduced in height despite no other production numbers changing, regardless of what the highest producing sector is. My understanding is that the graph is normalized, so the only time any bar should shrink without loss in production is when the highest value is increased. So what's going on to make the bars shrink when I don't see the highest value increase or any other value decrease?

Despite my Government District and Floating City being my only Sectors with a processing speed slower than 1 second, ever since the latest update, I have not seen any breakthroughs except for Processing Speed and Time Dilation on any of my Sectors.

@Rainedraiden:
Boosts are random, hands-off events where (I think) one cycle of a sector gets a bonus to the credits and citizens earned. The sector glows for a second, and if you have sound on there's a soft "boom" noise. There are upgrades that can extend the effect to more than one cycle.
Breakthroughs are when the screen goes dark and one of the sectors shows a glowing light bulb. You're supposed to click on that sector as fast as possible; that sector gets a bonus based on how many clicks you got before time ran out. There are a few different bonuses, which you can see in the bottom center star system in the Specialist Map.
I *think* optimization is the segmented colored ring around the middle of each sector. When it fills up I think that sector's speed doubles.

Pretty great game so far, but it's so memory intensive that it took 2 minutes to type out this comment. I'm not complaining since I know that my laptop isn't that powerful, but it's able to run other games easily. Anyway, I hope that this game does well, it looks like it has a lot of potential :)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If I'm not mistaken, breakthroughs increase speed by 400%, not 500%. An increase of 500% means the time should be divided by 6 but I see it divided by 5. Maybe what you mean is "increase to" instead of "increase by"?

Don't know when my Floating City Sector went to a 6:04 operation timer (early in my run, so lots of quick upgrading going on), but it's displaying about 60% complete with 8 minutes left.

OK. So he calculates 0.1% of 2.5% (Output per Specalist). I have an additional 2.2% and I am ROUNDED at 2.6 HAHAHAHA. Thats so great :D I love that kind of humor

Whilst the cosmos is a very nice looking background and all, I kinda wish we could toggle it off or adjust opacity. Some of the progress bars can be a bit hard to see.

Please have more explanations and tooltips. A player is given no information regarding boost chance, boost intensity, optimization and system update.

You get edifacts from completed orbits, you claim them by traveling to a new galaxy. You unlock new galaxies from gophers using the exploration option. You can unlock more than 4 galaxies, however when a new one is found, you have to delete one of the existing 4. From my experience, the first time you go to a new galaxy it's a wash, so pick whatever looks half way decent. Then with the unlocked edifacts you can use the arktechs to train deep space exploration fleet, giving you multiple bonus' per new explored galaxy. Keep in mind when you travel to a new galaxy your specialists and gophers get wiped, so make sure it's worth it to change galaxies, I did it around 200 edifacts for my first, to give appropriate buffs. After that it gets a lot easier to continue to progress.
Would be nice if there was a discord for the game.

I would love to have a compendium of sorts to explain what each term was. That way, in case I forget, I can look up what everything means and what the basics of the game are.

I think it could be useful if there was a toggle somewhere that will visualize money and pops production on top of the bars in the statistics. It would help to more easily find what is actually producing most money/pops at the time.

Also, can anybody explain the Anomaly Detection Device Augment to me? Increasing yield for same mission lenght? Does that count for multiple Gophers, I don't get it xD
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I finally unlocked gophers after 2-3 days of play. Reset more often than recommended, I reset first at 15 specialists, then every time their number doubled.

>And in regards to optimizations, with your example, the progress bar will not halve, but if you notice the time remaining that indeed does halve.
No, that's the problem. At least sometimes it does not halve. I know that because the text when you hover says the round is a lot smaller than the remaining time in the bottom of the circle. In one case I even had the circling dot disappear for a long time.

FYI the game crashes from time to time when I leave it on overnight. Goes to a completely black screen and I have to refresh the browser to get it to load.

The Specialists tooltip says how many resources you need until next specialist. After a while this is useless as it only displays "jumping" numbers. It would be better to switch to "Specialists per second" after a certain threshold.

For the Arktech "Cube of Multidimensions", when it says "Increases the effect per phase of infinite specialist nodes by 1% level", that refers to the planets orbiting the Interdisciplinary Projects star? My cube says current effect 10%, but the boost per phase is 9%.
If it's not that, I don't know. It could really be clearer.

On the specialist map Antimatter Production and Geothermal Plant say they divide costs by 0.01 but dividing by a number between 0 and 1 makes it higher not lower. What does it actually do?

One of my current galaxy bonuses is, "Upon unlocking GOPHERs in this galaxy, an additional 4 GOPHERs will be activated." A more accurate description of what happened when I unlocked GOPHERs was "Nothing".

This game really needs some kind of a help screen or glossary. Tutorials are short, don't give time to understand what is going on and later there is no way to check it again. Thus highly upvoted questions like "what are the boosts" (I have no idea either, I just now that sometimes system ping)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
thats the get your pending edifacts, the other question is some specialist upgrades have an orbit cap and everything thing else, can be upgraded infinitely (no cap)

@werkam, you have to travel to a new universe after discovering one through gopher missions, then everything is reset EXCEPT your cosmium, shop purchases, edifacts, edifact upgrades and achievement bonuses

It would be nice to have a preview on the bar chart as to how the upgrades affect your production rates
Would def help for eye candy
