Slow and steady, as it should be with an idle game. With that in mind, here are the little things I have done in Terracore.
I have upgraded my Stash and my Favour to 2000. Although with the cost of Scrap/Flux I maybe should first have gone for Damage or Defense/Engineering.
Since it now takes about 400 Scrap per 1 Flux I don't generate enough to bother on the second planet at 2 Flux when I could do double that amount on the first planet and with my luck at 5% I only have a 1 in 20 chance of getting anything as it is.
So my main focus for the next bit will be to increase Damage only. I am currently fine with my Engineering speed and Defense being able to keep me from getting hit until I am at about 20+ Scrap per cycle.
After Damage then yes I will go back to buffing Defense and hopefully get it to a 35+ Scrap mark before being a prime target and then increase my Engineering level again.
Aside from that if I do get the itch I will dump some Scrap into Flux and roll the dice on Quests or Planets, but as with any gambling, a person must be willing to lose it all.
When the Planets pay off then at least the Uncommon crates tend to give something well worth it. I do have al my slots filled though so I currently don't really care to get anything more in the equipment department.
I think if anything the only Equipment I might care to get with a possible lucky roll would be something high in Luck and Dodge maybe even Crit but mainly the Stash stats are the ones that make it worth burning some Flux on Planets. Rather a quick burn on a Planet than a bad roll on Round 8 during a quest.
