I think I got the double time warp way too early. It doesn't do me any good in battles until I have Auto upgrade Army Camps. I'm thinking of my next insane being resource cache boost, what do you think?

Insane Resource Cache Boost is 320% which sounds great, but in practice only helps you if you are getting Techs, and it depends on how you clear the level, if you use AQ or AAQ to clear the level and you also use 1+ of TW/IM/QS/TS then you probably don't have enough slots to use HB, Cache boost, AcacheB all equipped at once and still have a spot left for RCB

But if you're capturing manually, you can swap it in/out, but more often than not I find myself with lots of X,Y,Z (might be copper, iron, nickel, might be ore, might be bars, might be nails or screws, etc) but I need A,B,C (some other stuff) for Techs. There are times when it came in handy by chance for Techs

I see you have only Rare Cache Boost tho, I'd recommend to pump that up to Insane, get more benefit for what imho matter more which is AcacheB & MCB (notably on post-EH levels, Regio to Hex)

Actually I see you only have Leg Merc Discount & HB ... MD is super useful, 32%->64% is huge, like having double the money (well not exactly presuming you have Merc Disc Adv maxed to 50% but still significant)

I'd say do MD next, maybe not HB for a while since it only goes to 14%

But no IM or QS at all, no Insane TS - each of these will help for Regio to Hex

Agree that it's too soon for you to get the benefit from 2x TW, esp if you're not doing the super active strat (TW, IM, QS, maybe TS, maybe SAC) but it's done now so you're prepared for the future

Would resource cache actually make the slightest difference in your run speed? I mean at this point, as other guy said, the game is pretty simplified for you.

I'm always looking for the next thing to speed me up a little bit. The resource cache boost would help me get going especially on early levels.
I still do everything but craft.

2nd super... took forever but wanted to finish all newer levels with techs

@Ragnar, did you level up the Adv's for smelting/crafting speed & tech discount? And some of the ore Adv's as well? And got all the level bonuses for the ore production? Hope so, else you likely spent a few months longer than required, b/c when you have to smelting 35,000 bars and craft 5,000 items, it gets suuuuuuper tedious even with those Adv's, it's just plain ridiculous without them

86th super +1250%ap, 28 slots, 1 dig speed, 900 start ap

krinid, yeah, I pretty much maxed everything out, used the speedy smelter&crafter and used a TON of supercharge mines/ time warps

87th super +1250%ap, 28 slots, 2 dig speed, 900 start ap

Second Super Ascend!

New bonus: +25% AP
Kept: Legendary AV, TW, and SAC.
Bonuses: +1 slot, +25% AP

Woah, that's just two months. What strategy did you apply? I saw you got the first one around the time I got mine, but I'm still super far off the next super ascension in my current game (with legendary SAC, AV and Army Cache Boost instead of Time Warp - so really quite similar), using market + mercs. There's just not enough mercs yet ...

Just the "normal" Market Strat really. https://pkmx.github.io/wzi-levels/ is extremely helpful if you're not aware of it already. Once you get into Phase 4 advancements the bottleneck starts to shift to you rather than waiting for stuff (HRome, HScandi, HOT and HFL can all be completed without crafting or waiting for hospitals to upgrade - 20-30 minutes each without powers/actives needed), you can probably go from late Phase 3 to SA in maybe a week if you go hard.

One thing I note is that you're not in a clan though, clan requests help a lot with getting levels started, especially early in a SA.

Good point Mr FP makes, being in an active idle clan means you get lots of clan requests

you can get them in just about any clan, but you get them _quickly_ in active idle clans, in non-active idle clans, you sometimes need to wait 6-18 hrs for someone to fill your req, and sometimes you've already gone past the point where you need that request anymore

as for active idle clans ... TLA & Prime are 2 of the best

Hey, FDC exists!

Fair enough, I amend my statement to:

as for active idle clans ... TLA & Prime are 2 of the best, and FDC exists

20.44 hrs, with less sleep got my first time under 1 day.

@Ivan, what's your target for Idle now? You've essentially finished the game (maybe ~89 times over?)

You already have everything you need, so hereafter it's just a matter of getting everything you want

Some possible options are ... get all Leg artis (need more dig speed buffs), get highest # of SAsc's (you need about 450 to beat Xeno), or some of the other ridic things like 134k start AP or 1 year of Idle time, etc

For the record, I'm somewhere around 250 but have all insanes; I stopped playing b/c:
(A) there's nothing material left to do
(B) it's been boring/repetitive for the last 200 SAsc's, lol
(C) it's tedious having to keep selecting all the artifacts I want to bring forward, weeding out the P/C/UC's from the R/E/L/I's, knowing that if I make a mistake, I just left (another) Insane behind (suspect I've down this about 4-5 times so far, no idea how many L/E/R's I've accidentally chucked; just too many artis to keep scrolling through and clicking, and once I misclicked the "Super Ascend" button when I was trying to click an arti at the bottom of the list; fortunately I had most of my Insanes selected already, but suspect I lose 2 on that one; even worse is if you only click any 2 artis and then accidentally click Super Ascend, you lose ALL other artis but those 2, regardless of how many carryover slots you have)

No real target just go till something else grabs my obsession.
