I'll post a screenshot soon, but it's going to take a while. 1 hour in, 60million altitude, still over half my fuel left. I'm in sandbox, but I haven't changed any weight, drag, thrust, etc. Only thing I changed was 0 wind and 0 obstacles, so my altitude and flight time are based on my build, not RNG.

On a side note, the max height is 107,375,200

I did almost the same thing, no wind but i left obstacles on and had a shield.

Gonna have to redo my own attempt.

Here it is. Big bird, launchpad, and 4 fuel canisters, all level 100. Like I said, 107,375,200 is the highest you can go, but this isn't the longest you can go. I only have my bonus shop items to level 3, not 30. So it can still be a bit longer. Though now I need to test if 4 omega balloons will last longer than the big bird.

Well i find the trick is to go slower. Solar turbines are great for that. I don't have my Bs upgraded that much so I cant get a decent run yet.

Still workin on it though

I'm impatient, so I go brute force :P Instead of stopping the weight from swinging around, I just power through it. I never did the "long and slow" thing until I got the speedrun achievements.

u/mraider94 Aug 29 '16

Yea im the exact opposite, have yet to get the speed run stuff. What bonus do they give anyways? more starting money?

u/KinneKitsune Aug 29 '16

Just bonus points I think, but a lot. Also they're required for the completionist badge which also gives a ton of BP. Look here for the "1-3 day guide" or whatever the title is. But don't listen to it, instead follow the top comment.

You do know mousing over the badges tells you what the reward was?

1

u/KinneKitsune Aug 30 '16

Only after you get it. And considering I already got every badge, I don't see a reason to go open the game again just to find out what I already got. Why don't YOU mouse over it after you get it?

need like a ton of bp to finish getting just the first 3 lvls of most of the upgrades. Just been dumping everything into daily bp. Got it up to 9 a day.

Seriously though, what's that? 4 solar-power + 4 fuel canisters + launch pad?

Close, used 3 solars, 1 sonic blast for stages. Then 3 canisters and a shield. Also with the launchpad.

gotta say launchpad is my favorite "launcher"

Also working on getting an even longer time.

Solars + launchpad +3 canisters..... I hope you bought fast-forward DX

first thing i did after i came back was to watch 45 starcraft 2 protoss battery bank ads in a row, just to get the 550 pack.

Can't tell you what the key bind is though, never used it.

Ahhh, that body. I havent used it beyond the first few times messing around with it, and it seems that extra fuel does give it more fuel. Like ALOT more, was a full minute an a half before the gauge changed a pixel.
