How to Farm Dark Matter in Idle Planet Miner

[@josephquist9662]

Great ideas! Glad I watched. Just so you know, the tasks screen starts out with 4 task slots that are progressive, then 2 daily tasks on top of that. I expect you've finished all the progressive tasks except for that last one and that's why it still shows up there. Mentioning because you've brought it up in a couple of your videos.

[@GUNDAMTIME]

Yes!! Thank you. That makes sense.

[@liquidgold2735]

@@GUNDAMTIME and the daily quests literally say daily on them ;-)

[@GUNDAMTIME]

@@liquidgold2735 Yes, I talk about that in the video.

I like your videos on this game, which I just started a couple days ago. I've watched vids and read tips and trick where I could find them, and I think upgrading the managers you got for free is a trick of the devs to get you to waste dm. You could just combine those lower managers into higher tiers to eventually use for promoting your best upper level managers, or, if all your 4* and 5* are trash, combine all the lowers into the 1 or 2 best, then use your trash 4 and 5's as food for them instead. Each tier needs 4 to get to the next tier, so to get a 1 star leveled up, you need 3 more, for a total of 200dm to get to a level 2 (let's assume worst case scenario that all the ones you buy are t1). Now you have a t2 manager that needs 3 more 2's to level up at 200 each, or 800 total. Now you need 3 more 3's at 800 each to get to 4, and you've spent 3200dm to get a t4, which is guaranteed by a 500dm purchase. Just x4 to see what each higher level COULD cost if you are unlucky on rolls, and you see it's a way better bet to be patient and get the 500's like your own advice says. Even if you lose some good t1, 2, 3 managers, you're likely to spend less to end up in a better position if you just combine those lower level free managers than taking the bait on upgrading them with "cheaper" recruits. It's possible to spend 12,800dm to get a 5* like this- how many great managers can you get from the brilliant academy with that?

[@TessoMartins]

Follow those tips! Ive been following the tips since march and im pretty good now.

[@michaelsasylum]

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but doing my 3rd tournament and noticing that at the end of the tournament the Ark rewards steeply increase the dark matter output and almost brings my galaxy value almost to a halt. Getting dark matter is OK, but dang, I want those stars. BTW, gold league is garbage unless you can win it.

[@EnergixTM]

Great video ! Also for the offerwall i know i tried a bit and i wouldn't recommend it . Half of the time it doesn't even work , and it takes a lot of effort to level up enough in that given game to recieve the reward which is often quite small

[@GUNDAMTIME]

Good to know! I hope they get the glitches figured out.

[@sebas11tian]

Love the videos on this game. I noticed a quality problem with the audio. I get high pitched clocks and cracks on my right ear from time to time. A bit distracting tbh, maybe you can use a low pass filter during editing. Thanks again! 😅

[@hape7539]

i use the station to unlock and max the credits for galaxy selling things first ( on the way to nr. 2 , just started with tounaments) . and with the extra credits u could upgrade the rover room . but i dont really care about dark matter (have 12 lvl4-5 managers and slots ,what is enough for what im doing.) so i spend it for other things ,mostly the more credits room. best way for me to get energy cells is to do the events (with a pass) there u get 100.

[@justinhord6044]

Offer wall can be nice if you like wasting time on some simple sorting or word games. Yield about 1-2 DM per lvl played. Also some of the others will give you a small bit just for installing g and playing to say lvl 5 or something. I've done a small handful and only play until I'm either not having fun or get asked to spend money. Made maybe 700ish DM from offer wall. Just make sure to open the game from the offer wall link and that you haven't played the offer wall game before. Only once did I have it not work and that was a sorting game (forgot the name)

[@GUNDAMTIME]

This is really great info. Thanks!

[@-SilverCrest-]

First of all, great video! I appreciate the tips, as I've only been playing for about a week now. Your videos have helped me for sure! I do have a random question however... I have done one challenge and one tournament, and I've earned a few stars for doing so. Is there a way to see a list of all my buffed supplies that have a star increase for? I know when you sell the items, there is a star next to them, but what if I'm starting a new galaxy and I forget what metal bars or crafting items I can aim for to get my star bonus?

[@GUNDAMTIME]

As far as I know, there isn't a way to see all stars you've earned and what they apply to. It's really aggravating.

[@Nekomania]

That "daily task" you were complaining about for upgrading rooms isn't a daily task it's just a mission that game wants you to do. The only daily ones are labeled with a daily banner on them

[@GUNDAMTIME]

Yeah, I still hate having it there. 😂🤣

[@sebas11tian]

How do you start getting dailies? I'm about to sell my second galaxy and I just found out that advanced auto selling is only available after the 4th sale, I keep wondering how much I miss because it is not documented or advertised.

[@sauronblue1]

One question, since I saw in this or another of your videos that you like to speed up the ships until you get the "beam" effect. Have you noticed the production slow down when you get to the beam, or is that just me? I am very careful to balance my mining with how fast I get it off planet; I level mining to where I want, then add just enough speed and cargo that it starts to very slightly tick down. I keep my boosts from rooms or the space station even for speed and cargo. I've noticed that when I pass that speed to where it becomes a beam, suddenly the minerals left on planet jump up and the number starts growing. I should've only needed a couple ticks to balance out for mining speed, but suddenly I have to put way more than I expected into speed and cargo to balance things, like a couple dozen ticks each. I've since started only adding to cargo once speed gets to about 75mph, so I stay under the beam speed, and it seems to work better for me. I think I might try to put more passive boosts into cargo and avoid speed altogether, so leveling up planets is the only place I affect speed, and don't have to worry about going over. What's your take on this? Have you noticed this in your game, and if not can you check?

[@GUNDAMTIME]

I don't pay attention to beam anymore - it usually happens automatically now, whether I want it to or not. I'll see if I can notice a difference, but I don't think I can control it anymore.

[@TessoMartins]

Thanks for the video :)

[@GUNDAMTIME]

You're welcome. 😊

[@zaxrikozax]

Offerwall is and isnt scam. Surveys are scam but playing games not. BUT if u want DM from another games u mas rly play those games and this is main source of problem. U must do specific things and achieve hard goals. I farm DM from daylies, rovers, ark rewards, challenges, achievs and tournaments.

[@GUNDAMTIME]

Good to know. Thanks!!

[@MadmonkeyVDB]

The Space Station Projects are not recommmandable unless you are very very far in the game. They do cost a lot compared to the return and a power increase from the other Projects is way more important. Also, buying Managers for less then 500dm is significantly worse. You need to realize that the Primary Stat is a lot less important then the secondary. all the 2-Stars you have dont even have a Secondary stat. It is more then fine to just have 20+ 5-star Managers with good secondarys and dont care about Primary. from there on you can start to upgrade only good combos to 5 Star, and from 30+ to 6-star

[@GUNDAMTIME]

Yup.

[@michaelsasylum]

What are the biggest helps in getting those 10M in 1 1/2 minute starts? Fastest I can do 10 million is 1hour and 25 minutes.

[@GUNDAMTIME]

Just by playing the game a lot. I've been playing since February, and almost always have the game open next to me while working. It takes a while to get speeds up. I've got a few videos on this game that would probably answer better than I can put in a comment, though. But it boils down to playing regularly.

[@hape7539]

i tryed the offerwall, started a game , it would eat your whole time to reach the goal and needs 2 weeks , so u better spend time in this game and get dark matter, and credits for selling the galaxy ,and other stuff for doing daily tasks , and rover missions....

[@GUNDAMTIME]

Wow!! Yeah, that's definitely not worth it.
