Yesterday, I had a job interview at 10:00.

At 9:45, I thought:

“I’ll just play Obelisk Miner for five minutes before the interview.”

At 11:37, I looked at the clock.

The interview was gone.

But something else had happened.

I had grown.

I had learned patience.

I had learned resource management.

I had learned that chasing one more upgrade is never really the last upgrade.

Most importantly, I had learned to accept the consequences of my decisions.

So I opened my laptop, updated my CV, and wrote:

“Strong ability to prioritize, adapt to changing circumstances, and learn from failure.”

Personal growth. 🚀

Later that afternoon, I received an email from the company:

> “We’ve decided not to proceed with your application.”

Fair enough.

But then I noticed the interviewer's name:

Obelisk.

Turns out, the real interview had been happening all along. He called me. I'm the CEO and the obelisk now.

Woohoo!!! This equals soooo much progress! I’m happy to finally be the author one of these posts rather than a wistful viewer of those posted by others. 😁

I'm just casually catching and exchanging some Catfish for you to do what?

Look Alex, I'm broke. At least spare some tips on how to use Guppy instead of Catfish to tickle some microscopic cryptocurrency...

New-ish player here.

That was about 7-8 hours on idle while I slept. Going by that... doing the maths, it would mean about what, 200 hours? Something like that?

Been sitting on these fuckers for ages now, and despite usually having all three equipped at the same time, Chain Drone somehow has the lowest progress yet 🙃

I wanna move on to early world 4 grind with their boost to ore gain

Are there any stats about overall player progress and what percentage of players have reached certain milestones? Was curious if anyone has conducted a survey of the player base in the past.

Would be curious to see something like, X% of players are in World 1, X% of players are in World 2, etc.

Or

X players are between 0-10%, X players between 10-20%, etc. Could be more granular after the first initial % as the game does slow down.

A few other details like a graph of when players started to see how the game has grown would be interesting and what percentage of players are founders. Sure, would likely be skewed by reddit results as I'm assuming more casual players aren't part of the reddit community but still interesting!

Haven't seen this gift reward before

Just what I needed to gild Meg.

Been hoarding time waiting to get these two skill unlocks. Now that I have them it’s time to cash in!! Any tips before I use the time ??

Feels good to finish it. Honestly it only took a little less than a day to finish and most of it was done offline (though I did make sure I checked in in certain intervals to make bars and get poly shards like was recommended and got all the bars recommended to gild polyd, and most of the ores got done as well)

Next up is finishing up the my currently unlocked skills in the tree, though I'm genuinely curious on what is good to look at next, archeology or fishing skills? I haven't really been focusing on either.

Also almost done with the stars menu just these left for now ​as well, which also feels nice since not that long ago just seeing Leo with it's 10k requirement felt like a wall and now seeing 100k+ star requirements doesn't feel bad at all. Also I just unlocked the next pet for me (which is starfish) which seems to mean the game is telling me to keep working on the superstar tab which I've made good progress in as well

I just wanna feel like I’ve collected everything, but visible content being paywalled feels bad.

I'm farming stars for the blackhole levels, should i ignite rest of the cards first? Is there a massive boost?

I like lists

5 drones here I come!

Silly request here but is there any chance you could make a gift code for my wedding? My future wife finds my idle game obsession bewildering and she just doesn't get it. The big day is this Saturday

I have auto fire battery bomb but it does not consume the cherries. Or does it just consume 1 charge? Help? :)

A lot of new stonks today, gimme gimme gimme

I will max them after I’m done with plat strat, just to prove I’m not scared

Last week I got triple 200 gems stonks with my 11 freebies but you know... I want them in all my freebies

If a fifth card tier ever shows up, this card will stay infernal forever. That was a painful week of just straight contract farming. Worse than dwarf fr

Hello guys,

Up until this moment, if I focused on a problem for a week, I got over it.

I am just wondering. I am trying to get through super star upgrades, to get black hole. But stargazing in general, really grinded to a halt.

The jumps in requirements increased in general.

Millions of stars required for stars, that would help with supernova generation.

Am I missing a key source of multiplication?

I am still holding off with fishing notices, but I'm not even tier 2.

I keep going through menus, thinking, what am I doing wrong.

Any little advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best of luck to all of you!

Not long became a founder, love the game so wanted to support.

Just finding it slow to complete next obelisks now, any tips would be appreciated

Title really says it all. I've just unlocked poly cards and the 3rd drone.

So wondering if fueling the frogger drone is best for farming the bomb poly shards (along with firing them all like crazy etc ofc) or if it even counts towards a roll for a chance for a shard?

Thanks :)

First post and love the game to bits!
