+4000% to Matt is "4000 times as much" a true engineer

[@ineszaibi1863]

Its 20x lol its EZ

[@Aedi]

​@@ineszaibi1863+4000% means 4100% total, which is 41 times as much

[@alphathefinalbalance7611]

40 times

[@lubekdotnet]

:)

[@TheRiverwolford]

To be fair, he said 4000 times as much as he was getting before he upgraded which I think was still higher than one, but still. Edit: went back and looked, it was actually 0.00% chance to start, so he was actually quite accurate in saying 4000 times increase.

[@shadowproductions969]

I think it's been said in some other posts but biggest tips. 1. You get seeds from what you mine. It seems you are figuring that out, higher chances can make a big difference in the number of seeds you get 2. Use the challenges on the planet. Its best to do one at a time at the highest prestige level you can. You have to break the core to get the bonus. 3. Disable shiny blocks until the planet is easy (though I beat the game without using them) 4. i focused my farm on coal, iron, diamonds and such to make gunpowder, glass, steel, etc. Once you upgrade everything in a element, it's about useless later in the game. 5. Farm cores by prestiging every planet you can. They make you much stronger when you have the buff and farming can be much faster. Enjoying the playthrough

This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite video series

[@mbelmin]

You should add episode numbers to the title. Always a struggle to know if I missed something and even worse when watching old content like the MC playthrough. Always a gamble opening videos.

[@AshleyTMDW]

Unfortunately, and keeping in mind this is just from what I'm aware of and I could very easily be wrong, episode numbers generally end up killing performance of videos, as people end up being turned off by feeling the obligation of watching all the earlier parts even if they're not interested in those parts.

[@minimatt2356]

​@AshleyTMDW yes this is true if KZbin thinks its a series it will get less attention from you tube thus decrease performance of his video

It amazes me how watching RCE play a game that I wouldn't ever be interested in can be so fascinating

[@jimmyh2137]

Shiny blocks unfortunately are trash. They are super hard to destroy for no reason and they just give a little more resources (15x a normal block if maxed out iirc), but they slow down the planet destruction soooooooooo much and block your laser/ship/stuff. You are much better off prestieging a couple of times rather than bothering with shiny blocks. Just turn them off and forget it.

[@harmonic5107]

In the late game they are awesome. I think they just unlock too early is all. They have a much greater chance to contain seeds. Which is great when you need resources for quantum computers

[@Calekoflight]

@@harmonic5107Yea...early shiny blocks just stopped you in your tracks. Later with 20 drones and stuff, they are just bonus.

[@AliceErishech]

@@harmonic5107 After unlocking them and realizing how much they got in the way, I turned them off and never went back. Had no issues at all completing the rest of the game nor gathering seeds.

Hi Matt. A little tip for the crafting menu - White number is how many you produce per tick - Yellow number is how many you have produced and can use. - Grey number is how many are in "backlog" to be produced (number in commas is the number you can produce given the resources you have available) A big tip. not sure if its useful or not... (Took me ages to get it) Some things gan do more than just prestige :) Damage booster in equipment is the best option. Makes you prestige a lot faster and the more you prestige the more you can get When you get stuck on prestiges... you can go for the "callenges" eg. stuck on perstige 30? go to perstige 20 or 15 do the challenges they give you a lot of boosters for that planet. Shiny blocks are super hard to break in your current stage. best to deactivate them when you do challenges. Hope this helps.

[@Zakk6571]

[@Xubruitonutelbit]

Nice to watch you trying to finish the game. Quick tip, shinny blocks are way harder to break, so disabling it might help prestige planets faster.

[@kokojungo1669]

some tips : - farm organic matter first (farm will halp you a lot but you need mor seed chance) -disable shiny rock(in planet menu), they have to much life and a you stade you mant more core/prestige, so it's block you sorry for my english, is not my native language.

You should do the challenges on the top left. They also add multipliers. It's best to do them one at a time on prestige 1.

[@themeow-sician1664]

​@@samuelpenney5925which one ?

[@Jason820]

@@samuelpenney5925 You just need to break the core while the challenge is active. That will give you a permanent bonus to the planet, with the size of the multiplier based on which prestige level you completed the challenge

[@samuelpenney5925]

​@Jason820 i broke the entire planet and its core. it did not give me the bonus.. 🤔 ill try it again today, i wonder if it was just a bug.

Btw. you got the seeds right - whatever material you're digging, those kind of seeds you got. There's an upgrade about the chance. A tip about this core proximity multiplier if you need it but you die once you touch the core. Well, you die if you want to drill it, right? So, once the inner layer is destroyed, you can point the mouse out of the core (totally opposite direction - say, top middle of the screen) and don't touch the keyboard. Leave the drill fall down and to touch the core with it's "bottom" and then you can leave. (After your previous video I loved the game and spend almost 20 hrs in a row :D )

I can’t explain why I find this series like a vitamin my body craves. I cannot avoid watching it, not a minute to wait! I think it’s a game that’s well suited to RCE… that’s my guess to why I find this combination so beautifully tantalising

[@BigLug01]

To understand what grass is, one must start with its anatomy. Grass is a member of the Poaceae family, a botanical group characterized by its unique structure. Each grass plant typically consists of the following components: a. Roots: Grasses have fibrous root systems that anchor them into the soil. These roots also play a crucial role in nutrient absorption. b. Stems (Culms): The stems of grasses, known as culms, are typically hollow and cylindrical. They provide support for the plant and are essential for vertical growth. c. Leaves: Grass leaves are long and slender, featuring parallel veins. They are adapted for efficient photosynthesis and vary in size and shape among different grass species. d. Inflorescence: Grasses reproduce through inflorescences, which are clusters of tiny flowers arranged in characteristic spikelets. The arrangement of these flowers varies widely among different species. Ecological Significance of Grass: Grass ecosystems, including grasslands, meadows, and prairies, have a profound impact on our planet's ecology. Grasses provide a myriad of ecological functions: a. Soil Stabilization: Grass roots help prevent soil erosion, stabilizing landscapes and reducing the loss of fertile topsoil. b. Carbon Storage: Grasslands store significant amounts of carbon, playing a role in mitigating climate change. c. Biodiversity Support: Grasslands support diverse wildlife, from herbivores that graze on grasses to predators that hunt in these habitats. d. Fire Adaptation: Some grasses are adapted to thrive in fire-prone environments, playing a vital role in fire ecology. Diversity of Grass Species: Grass is an incredibly diverse plant family, with over 12,000 recognized species. These species range from towering bamboo to tiny, inconspicuous grasses. Notable grass species include: a. Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis): Common in lawns, golf courses, and sports fields due to its fine texture and attractive appearance. b. Bamboo (Bambusoideae): Known for its rapid growth, bamboo is a versatile plant used in construction, textiles, and culinary arts. c. Wheat (Triticum spp.): A staple crop globally, wheat is a grass species critical for human food production. d. Elephant Grass (Pennisetum purpureum): Used for forage and as a biofuel crop due to its rapid growth and high biomass yield.

Hey RCE, Breaking the core unlocks higher Prestige levels for the planet, blocks have higher health but gives you more resources. Challenges on the other hand unlock after you break the first core on the planet(Top Left of the screen when you select a planet) and you can do the same challenges once on every Prestige level and they give you permanent bonuses for that planet and they stack and are active even if you turn the Challenges OFF.... so even with just Prestige 2-3 with the Challenge bonuses for each of those levels you will be raking in ridiculous amounts of resources compared to if you are just grinding the Prestige 1-2 rank on the planet AND you will be doing like 2-3x more damage which just makes it so much faster to drill. Probably not an exaggeration to say that I could have saved myself hours of grinding if I had figured out how these worked from the start.

[@kornfed81]

Because you made this damn game look so interesting I've become addicted to playing when not at work. Thanks! Oh and if you don't have it yet wait until you get the infinity box in equipment. Can't wait to see you change the sun into a supernova and blackhole. Have fun!

To clear up what the Q stands for, it's short for Quadrillion. With many incremental games like these generally it goes: K = Thousand M = Million B = Billion T = Trillion Q = Quadrillion (sometimes Qa) Qi = Quintillion Sx = Sextillion Sp = Septillion O = Octillion N = Nonillion D = Decillion UD = Undecillion DD = Duodecillion TD = Tridecillion etc. Cookie Clicker has taught me the names of some big numbers, I got 1.76 Trevigintillion cookies (1 with 72 zeros after it)

@@XtreeM_FaiL I know that and have done that. Shiny blocks are still a complete and utter waste of time. In the time it takes to break apart a few shiny blocks you could easily prestige a planet like a dozen times.

just beat this game bc of your videos, its fun how op you get towards the end. if i was you id try getting to the blackhole level as fast as you can to get the infinity box, its so op. EDIT: also, farm the earth planet to get your seed chance up. to get organic matter you gotta kill the guys that attack you, and the more the timer goes up the more of those guys will come attack you, giving you more organic matter. if you farm that you get to the point where youre getting like 20k seeds a run. also, once you start getting the upgrades that give you more stuff depending on the amount of cores you have youll have to be more mindful of spending too much prestige in your farming tab.

The best way to gain money (and cores) in this game is to prestiege the Home planet as much as you can. Also equip the siphon expander for maximum moolah. Also, funny how he bought the gem materializer at the start of the video and then completely forgot about it. P.S. You can right-click multiple times to stack orbital lasers. I'm not sure wether or not this is actually more efficient than using one at a time. Shiny blocks are also kinda bad, as they're really tough and completely stop orbital lasers.
