Idle Planet Miner - Debris Fields

I finally completed research for the debris field in Idle Planet Miner.  It only took about a full month of what little time I have to fiddle with it daily.

Yes, the debris fields are automatically harvested, just like the asteroids.  I have seen two debris fields appear so far.  One gave me a satellite dish and the other gave 71 basic computers.  So they are pretty much exactly what I was expecting: a source of random items.

Here is one I caught in a screenshot...


I added the white box so you can see it better.  They are gone in about 5 seconds like the asteroids so you might not see them most of the time.  I suddenly have 60 advanced computers, 700 lasers and a ton of other things. 

Now I need 5 more nuclear reactors and 92 scrith alloy for the only other research available: superior asteroid harvester, another x1.3 value bonus.  I guess I can also do Advanced Leader for 8 more motors, 8 telescopes and 111 scrith alloy.

I also made it to planet 43, the $6.2q investment, the first one that mines scrith.  So I have a steady source of that now.  Now using those 6 planet boosts I had been saving up to boost my starting supply.

My galaxy value is just under $13q, which would give me 707 credits.

11/30 update ... ugh, I had almost all the scrith I needed for my last asteroid harvester upgrade

And like a dope I went and crafted a robot to get to my Superior Manager, which took 240 scrith.  MULLIGAN!

11/4 update: I did finally get that harvester.   The $40q planet is just scrith, and there is only one thing left i can craft without higher ores, need 2 more robots for the second manager, so I need 400 more scrith.  Got 48.  So I'm saving up for the $100q world.  I can make teleporters to sell for $2q each but they take 200 navigation modules that take 30 minutes each to craft.  Even with 3 crafters working on it, it's going to take time.

12/9 update ... the $100q planet is the first one to have uru.  Now with 172 uru alloy I can research the Furnace Overdrive 2 or with 215 I can finish the Debris Harvester (×1.3 value to all debris). I did get the 9 robots for the 2nd 5-star manager but darn, I only have one 5- star dude.  I have researched all but the last two telescopes,  mostly using alloys found in debris fields that I would not be able to make normally.   The money system continues with quadrillion (q), quintillions (Q), sextillions (s) and septillions (S).  Not much left to do at this point.

Empires & Puzzles: End of Season 5

Image
I finished Season 5 (Egypt).  The last battle was impressive, with Set starting at about 18K HP with the usual minions, after which he becomes a titan battle with about 60KHP, and as that was winding down with my guys getting very weak, he came back as a regular battle with anoth 13KHP.  I think I did the 75 gems to buy a second chance, but it was a good end-of-season adventure with some surprises. A few nights back, I got an event summons and came up with Heimdall, that really difficult opponent who blows his horn and heals allies above their normal max HP, AND can reincarnate fallen allies.  Now he's on my team 6, and I'm training him up to help with the alliance wars. Last night I got a few event summons again, and bought a few more for $5.99.  Got some new ones: lemur construct, treevil, and a bunch of really odd characters.  I later got 3 summons from coins at the end of the event and got two different gnomes and some kind of magical flamingo.  Heck, 500 coins fo

Peace by Peace: Succulents

Image
We got Peace by Peace: Succulents a few weeks back at the Toy Box in San Clemente, CA on the way back from a weekend trip.  I also got the cactus-themed game "What's the Point" in that same batch, so it was an odd pair.  Two of the types of plants I used to grow back when I had space to grow things. Anyway, Peace by Peace is not really a game, it's a series of 50 puzzles.  There is a set of 45 triangle-shaped tiles with colored leaf patterns in each corner, then a set of 50 cards giving puzzles to be solved.  Each card list which numbered tiles to use and shows a few starting cards by their number, but not what position they're in, followed by some empty spaces and possibly the colors of a few other corners. The challenge is to work out how to complete the pattern using the tiles available.  It's a bit annoying finding those tiles to setup the puzzles, but we settled on stacking them in piles of 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39 and 40-45.  Then we could easily find wh

Qwixx

  Qwixx is a colored dice game from Gamewright, just six dice and a score pad. You can check it out here , even read the full rules.  Basically, there are two white dice and four colored dice, which match up with the four colored rows of numbers on the score cards.  The flow is that on each turn, the next player throws the dice.  All players get a chance to score the two white dice.  Then the player who rolled gets to score a combination of any white die and any one colored die.  So, everyone gets the white 2+4=6, then the active player can try to score an extra box of maybe white 6 plus blue 4 to get the blue 10.  The non-active players don't HAVE to score anything, but the rolling player must score one number on their turn or take a 5-point penalty box.  The genius of the colored scoring rows is that the top two rows go from 2 up to 12, and the bottom two rows go from 12 down to 2.  If they all went from 2 to 12, you would just always be looking for higher dice as the gam
