I dropped my race in the Village, which had been going on for a year and a half and the Horde, which lasted nine months. To view the new game modes. Are you outraged by the loss of three weeks? Did the loss of equipment capacity increase cards sadden you, for example? That's me - very much, I'm three orders of magnitude lower in strength. 

An update is an update. New balance, new mechanics, a lot of changes. The loss of three weeks of progress in just one parameter is sad, of course, but not as sad as the loss of a save by people (as they wrote below) or clicking the "buy everything" button in the Gas Giant, spending all the prestige currency accumulated over six months without any warnings. Because of one random click :)

This game is not for weaklings! It is for harsh people who are not afraid of difficulties :)

They could be used to get the "Challenging Evil" achievements I guess, for defeating enemies at a high enough corruption level. But yeah other than that I'm also a bit like "What's the point?" other than just completing the collection.

You gradually gain Magic resource. Every now and then its consumed to generate some special event-only resource. To find the resource, you'll need to mouse-over the icon. In terms of where it shows up it can be seemingly in  nearly any other place. a normal-icon will swap to event icon. For example Copper in mining, or a Gem in gems. Just go through your various tabs until finding it.  It can even spawn on prestige sub-section apparently.

Icons it can be are something like "maple leaf", "grass", "skull", "clover", or a potion bottle thing.

 Once you have some, you can attempt a ritual. These gives you points for event shop, can unlock potions and unlock a new resource for the event which so far I've only seen as able to combine multiple resources into potion, and higher chance to succeed.

And in my opinion, shapes are the worst element in the game. It's not bad in itself, but it's too different from the rest of the game. See for yourself: now we have nine different games (if the shapes are considered a separate game), and after a year of playing, all these games require 1-2 minutes of attention from me per day. Well, maybe 5-6, considering that the new games have just started and require more player attention. And the shapes at the same time are an active game. And it takes 10-15 minutes to spend all the accumulated motivation. And what happens in the end? Does one game take ten times more time than all the other five combined? A strange decision.

Why didn't you export it to an external backup?

Gas Giant Mining. The second mining mode.

Same, I'm on quest #19 and I haven't gained a single resource in a day.  

To fix the weird displays for Summer Festival, turn off "Relative Upgrade Stats" in the settings. It's broken with this event unfortunately.

When you build a building on a tile, it will stop generating its resource. If you want that resource, don't build anything there and have a "Collector" nearby.

The developer is currently working on a huge update which is planning to address a lot of the problems that are in the game. Most things that require tedious grinding (embers, mastery, cash) are going to be fixed to be more fun and interesting.

For the monster part timer, it's a bit complicated to make a timer that works. If it only worked if you could kill the enemies, then it would tell you if you could kill those enemies or not which is not the intended purpose. But I do agree that maybe adding an experimental setting for different modes for that timer could be nice.

For the farm if you're in the tutorial (aka haven't gotten a garden gnome yet) then don't worry the game is going to become a lot less active for farm in the near future. If you're past this, then try and think when the next time you're going to check the game is, and plant a crop that takes this long or a bit shorter to grow. You can also use the "giant" gene and the overgrow system to reduce the number of check-ins needed, that's the whole point of them being in the game.

The event relic being nerfed was a one-time thing which was handled awkwardly but shouldn't happen again. It was just a weirdly powerful relic which is only available one month of the year, and would've split the playerbase's progression in Hordes into those who had the relic and those who did not. This is not what the developer wanted, so they changed it. But those not in the discord didn't have any warning, which is very unfair to them and is why I feel it was handled awkwardly. The "permanent items" are actually rather weak in general and don't affect much, so you really don't need to worry about missing them. This was the only good one, and it was nerfed.

If you want to make any suggestions, feel free to go to the discord and add your thoughts. Hearing a new perspective on balancing and QOL is always a good thing.

This is a glitch with the tutorial. It'll go away with a few more days of progress (once you get the garden gnome).

I see where you're coming from, as the timers for a lot of the crops can be intimidating. But I recommend only growing those more than 8 hours crops overnight for now, with many smaller harvests of carrot, blueberry, ect. during the day.

Also buying the upgrade to turn off "first crops" was DEFINITELY the right move, as the short timers are also only giving 1/12 as much as they should have been.  That tutorial is a nerf that's there to give a feel for the idea without the waits.

TLDR: planet long grow time crops overnight, use shorter times during the day. 

 And don't worry, new things are unlocked as you progress to make these times much more flexible

Tbh progress is a crawl with it too bc you can only get around 20 minutes per exam pass at a B+, and you only get those every 10 levels/every 24 hours. 💀

You'll soon unlock a few more "school" minigames, and the only stat that matters is your highest grade in any one game - so there's no reason to even try to be good at all of them. Just pick one you like. (And if you don't like any of them, one is a memory game that you can quickly "cheat" with a pencil and paper, or even just a screenshot!)

In addition, these games don't speed up progress meaningfully at all - it's really just a quality of life boost. (It lets you fast-forward a single mechanic for a few minutes at a time, which is nice to make a prestige less tedious, or to buy an upgrade you can *almost* afford just before bed.)

I don't know what you mean by "100% the game," as there appear to be an infinite number of levels for each mini-game, so you can never "100%" any of them no matter how many times you do them. There is an achievement tied your highest grade achieved, but you only have to do that once in the game of your choice. (And I believe it's a hidden achievement, so it's not even part of the game's "real" progress and doesn't give you any completion bonus.)

"Red Luck" is amazing due to a lot of different things, mainly the "Build Red Reservoir" idea and the fact that it can be kept. 

"Orange Luck" in small amounts can be good for speed, as well as a very small amount of the next two. 

But I can agree that later lucks (like "Blue Luck") are nigh useless in the current game state. Make such to get high amounts of "Red Luck," but you can definitely skip out of the others if you'd like.

nvm

Nostalgia increases your chance of receiving an heirloom from a miniboss by 0.1%.

Nostalgia bonus is affected by heirloom chance multipliers, such as Advanced Luck.

Each time you gain an heirloom while you have a Nostalgia, you lose 1 Nostalgia.

You regain all Nostalgia when you prestige.
