The codes don't do anything, without a patreon copy of the game the files and images for the paywalled content straight up aren't in the local build.
In fact I wasn't being entirely serious. It was my shorthand for a reiteration of my previous message from a month or two ago effectively asking if the game was now worth playing, because the last time I looked, at an early stage, it wasn't. It sounds as though that's still the case. But thank you!

I swear the developer doesn't understand basic maths.

1 worker requires 8 food and 35 gold per week.

Mining costs 10 energy/crystals and produces 25 energy crystals for a net gain of 15

Farming produces 30 food and cost 20 energy/crystals

So how does this economy work? It doesn't

15 workers require 120 food

120 food requires 80 energy and 4 workers

11 miners creates 275 energy but requires 110 energy for the 11 jobs.

Our energy surplus is 85 (275-110 = 165 - 80 to cover your farmers)

Yet these 85 crystals have to sell on the market to cover the wages of the 15 workers which comes to 525.

You cant sell 85 crystals for that much. Which means there isn't a way to make this economy work. And this is just basic maths i am not factoring in any events. This becomes more and more unworkable the larger your population.

Have to say when you can't be assed to sit down and run the numbers for your mechanics you are displaying really piss poor quality in your work. If you can't get the economy to work with nothing but miners and farmers how the fuck do you expect an economy to support scientists and soldiers?

pathetic work quality here. There is no excuse for not understanding the numbers you imputed into your code.
The only thing pathethic here, is you. The game has barely 4 months and each release I packed a lot of stuff and effort and dedication. From the fight engine, to the videos, to all the mechanics, to the sex scenes. You are complaining about one of the many features that is new and was made on a montlhy release basis. The economy works this way to force you to take missions and not just sit on the base. Thats why gold is the predominant reward on missions. If you factor that in and all the feedback I had received prior, everyone told me they had SURPLUS resources and the game becomes too easy. But here you are complaining of the inverse.
Lazy? Did you read the changelog? Do you know the amount of work it was done to do all this in one month?

It's funny. I always think, lets take each release feedback and improve to the next one. I always try to do this. However the kind of feedback I keep getting here is being insulted, game is trash etc, 1/2 star reviews calling it lazy when there is obviously a lot of work done each month.
Not all of us are coding geniuses or great graphic designers. Simple things sometimes require herculean effort and study and things get better with practice. I'm here trying every month to bring a better version of the game.

This is often what happens when you put your game on a site without all its content.

I tried this game, I saw the paywall, I tested a little then it quickly got to me, the paywall being so limited your progress which ends up being restricted.

AI art, I'm not a fan, it looks like lifeless models passed through photoshop.

But hey, this game is only just beginning, who knows.

Ignore the haters. If they want something else they are free to put in the effort to make it.

My suggestion is that breeding the alien queen 'adapting alien DNA to promote human interests' is a good goal that furthers the mission here. ;) But whatever you decide to do is cool.

Ignore the morons, they will scream about this and that, but they themselves have no idea what it takes. Learning coding is pain, I tried and I failed so thumbs up to you for pushing through. I played enough early access/alpha/beta games to know that new features are not always recieved positively and are pain to balance. Lets see what you cook up next.

"a lot of work" meaning writing ai prompts and waiting for them to generate? you're a fucking parody of an "artist", your work amounts to nothing and the only people that lap it up are hardcore porn addicts, you target this demographic specifically because these brainless fucking apes will throw money at everything their penis twitches to, go rethink your life decisions.

So the dev is still a whiny bitch delivering shit

I understand the need to hold things off for Patreon supporters, but at some point once more content is added, will you be letting the general population see it? Like if you add like 2 new characters or what have you, can you add 2 current characters locked behind the paywall added to the story, so it becomes more of a stable progression of Story to amount of characters?

I mean on a side note, I will say I do enjoy the actual art in this game and the combat is generally fun like a game of chess almost. Just wish there was sex scenes for them at advanced/each stage or pregnancy but I do know how difficult AI art can be considering I have generated a bunch of images myself, and it wouldn't have to be edited, just the first and last stage of pregnancy I think.


The story itself isn't bad, I am wondering if at some point or character along the way you can have a character, that becomes a broodmother, who has ridiculous features, such as extremely large belly, and lactating breasts or something along those lines.

Another interesting solider would be one that hits like a freight train but can't attack for 2 turns. Almost glass cannon but more balanced. Meaning yes they deal extremely high damage but have a normal defense and have to wait 2 turns to charge up or something. (like snipper class)


Some criticism (which I think you are addressing by adding workers that can increase the output of resources): One thing that doesn't exactly feel as balanced is that the Power room only has 1 individual in it, that isn't patreon locked. Terraforming has 2, and so does Science lab. Maybe I am just over analyzing it but it would be nice if we could get two ladies in the power room. (you may already have it in the works for the next update, so my apologies if this is your intention)

What I am also looking forward to is the upgrade ability once implemented for your units. It would be a game changer to have unit's have better stats which in turn I think would increase the ability to have longevity.


Another question I have. Will there be multiple planets? I see that you may be running out of room, possibly being able to add two more locations than what is already on the planet.

I think you should take some of your own advice. AI and images are not the only thing in making a game. If you are going to ignore the other parts of effort, that they are also obviously talking about, then you sound just like a whiny critic who is upset AI is doing art now. If you think you can do better by all means do so, but the coding and other work that is put into it should not be over looked to flame someone. Use your brain before you type.

Is my game broke, or is this just a sleep and lose all your resources sim? I have no options for anything but sleep...

Yep it couldn't be you that is at fault. I am just a pathetic individual for showing how crap your system is with maths. You know that thing that is only objective and not subjective? The economy doesn't work at scale. Are you seriously that clueless? With each birth of just 4 people you can't even feed them with one farmer and you can just afford the power. There isn't a single aspect of the economy that makes sense with the maths. But sure people telling you it is too easy without the actual maths to prove their position makes me the pathetic one. Couldn't be you...

I just used the evil maths your teacher told you were vital for success in life. Imagine i actually took the care to work out how your mechanics worked mathematically, so I know that with multiple breeders over multiple weeks means the economy collapses. But hey those pathetic maths users are such a pain. You just went, "I worked hard! stop showing me my failings and just stroke my metaphorical cock and give me the hand job of affirmation! I worked hard! sing my praises!"

Yep i am sooooooooo pathetic.
