I'm so surprised

I'm so surprised

Ok this game has a history of not rounding down. So bless RNG Jesus I just got my Incubation Suite to Ancestral. So that's 30% reduced crafting prices so for recipes like advanced robot, deflector shield, deep space scanner etc, I thought they would remain at 2 needed to craft the item. It's down to 1! That's huge imo. Or I'm pleasantly surprised. I think this fact alone makes the incubation suite hands down the best module for Synth. Anyway I wasn't aware so I thought I would share.

Ark Network Module Not giving correct bonus

Testes this a couple times. 100% not working. Here is easy way to verify, unlock every planet and then not colonize anything. Then look at market bonus. Colonize 25-40 planets and marker bonus exactly the same. I thought they fixed this?

Toque F7

Ok this will be the third generation I believe. I started keeping track of that lately and I didn't when I grew this out first. Anyway you see the swirly tops, that's what I'm calling them. I saw one or two on the other grows but I thought it was fucking mycelium. I've grown mushrooms before and sometimes mycelium will colonize the top of the cap, mushrooms do some weird things sometimes. So the mycelium will get up there even when I don't have fuzzy feet so I thought it was just that. So yesterday I'm chopping them up to dehydrate and lo and behold it's actually an extension of the cap. So I thought that was interesting so I cloned the big swirly cap and I'm going to grow it out again. I included a pic of a cap how they normally look like for comparison sakes. I like toques, I think they look cool or very unique compared to most strains.

Theory Crafting

Ok so I was just thinking about how the modules have a 24 equip cooldown. So I can see some obvious synergies like starting tournament with Beam Highways for example(better raw stats and beams for 4X) and then if you see good market then you would equip Ark Network modules and really ramp up that market bonus etc. Can do samething similar with Incubation Suite, you rock that in the beggining and if you get "good" negative market then you switch it Market Crawler module for example.

I'm curious about two mining modules, first is the Adaptive drill and that ones unique effect is "Freely upgrade the first level of 3 different Planet Colonies."

Then the second mining module I'm looking at is Exploration drill and that ones unique effect is, "Pick an unlocked Telescope research and add 1 mining colony level to all its planets."

Ok so if you use these or combo them, then you would have to use Adaptive Drill first because if you level up the colonies at all, this doesn't work anymore. It has to be the first colony level. So I have this equipped and I use all 3 charges on wahtever planets. Can I equip the Exploration drill and then add the 1 mining colony to a telescop or telescopes depending on what rarity you have? So I would be essentially adding 2 colony levels instead of one on my +3 VPS.

Then the mining module has the sub effect "Mining Probe Bonus" which effects your instant scan value. So if I instant scan while having one module equipped and then I equip the other one, does my scan value change or not anymore because it was already applied to the planet that I scanned? I think it would apply to future scans is my guess but I'm not sure.

Anyway what do you guys think? Any other synergies or combos you guys can think off? I would be doing this for tournaments only.

Market Crawler Module

Say a negative market pops for something good and I equip this. Do is automatically change the market or do I have to wait 4 markets to use it? Is it like a button it lets you press? Just curious how it works and I don't want to equip it because I'm in a tourney.

Mycelium Bridge

I thought this looks kind of cool. So this happens sometimes by accident, when you transfer a new agar wedge onto your new plate and then you flip it upside down. Sometimes the agar wedge falls of the agar and then since you flipped it, now it's sitting on the top or the plastic part. So mycelium can grow together and actually form a bridge to get to the nutrients. Bacteria cannot do this, so if you have ever done trenching to escape contam, this is why it works. The bacteria can't make the jump but mycelium can.

Here are two plates, the first one has a super thick bridge onto the agar. The second one, the bridge is incredibly hard to see, it's very whispy but I see it. Just thought it was kind of cool so that's why Im sharing.

Help with the maths

Ok can someone check this depressing math? Ok so my lounge(credit) room is at lvl 51 and to get to level 52 I need 1,467,386. Now my credit module it at level 70 and its currently 350,000 per level. I think each level of the module is giving me 0.006 per upgrade. So 60% of 1% is how I read it. Anyway which is the more optimal route? To level up the module or to level up the room? So 0.05 / 0.006 = 8.333. That means I need 8.3 levels of the module to get over 5%, if I do one less then its 4.8%. So 8 x 350,000 is 2.8 million credits, so the module is the worst route correct? So I'm reading it as 1,467,386 credits or 2.8 million to get same benefit basically. This math check out?

Help locating genetics

Howdy everybody, I've been seeing some gamma decay grows and I think it looks cool. Can't seem to find a vendor other then one Australian one that won't ship to US. If anyone has a source let me know.

​

I'm also looking for a cool Shakti cross if anyone has any reccomendations that would be cool. Also I love Toque and I've grown Toque F7 which I believe is also called green toque. If anyone knows any cool toque crosses those would be appreciated too. Thanks!
