Instead of swiping the sand you can watch an ad. And in the meantime the sand is blown away...( ]:'-( sad antichrist)

Everybody who plays idle knows about draft and yet, nobody seems to know the exact formula of draft, determining the number of army to give

From the letters of "Idle" you can form the German word "Leid".

Ironically, Efficient Smelter/Crafter is the least efficient artifact in terms of boosting smelters/crafters

@letsfight, yeah anagram, so?

as in how is it fun?
@vv and which would be better?


standards of submissions seriously need to improve a bit... and as said before, relevant posts only please!

Free Cache is the only power that doesn't have an artifact or advancement doing the same (AC, MC and RC exist, but they only give one of the 3 instead of all)
To answer Pi: SS/SC or SD/CD are both better then ES/EC, assuming you have enough ore/alloys/items to keep everything running

As long as it is fun it is relevant, no? Or is it required to be helpful?

yeah, idle anagrams are more relevant to "fun facts about idle" than complaining about anagrams is

and even that us more relevant than complaining how complaining about anagrams is irrelevant.

Idle also anagrams to the english word "Lied", honestly.

Also deli, and it turns out diel and deil, though those last two are barely words.

Hey. Fun Fact: Lied is a Gernan word too. The Lied of Leid ^^

Fun Fact about Idle:
You are faster, if you are not idle.

Heee! You edited your post. Yes, anagrams are fun and witty!

wow. that's actually ironic

Fun Fact about Swiping Sand. Using the Time Warp Artifact doesnt speed up the sand removal of digged artifacts

What about time warp powers?

Nope. Using the Time Warp Artifact doesnt speed up Time Warp powers either.

Who swipes sand? Auto dig will fail on simultaneous levels if the level you were last on didn’t meet the prerequisites for auto dig. Switching to a different level that does will start it but not with time on the clock which is what usually happens with time warp artifact use (8 hour) -good- but generally not with super time warp power use (10 hour) - bad

Not only do you not get it faster when you wipe away the sand, you don't even need to wipe away the sand nor click on 'Claim', once the artifact window pops up, you have it, so if you refresh the window or go Back/Resume level and check your inventory, the artifact will be there

Similarly for the coin wheel, the instant you start the spin, the coins & Idle powers you win are already applied; for the power tho, whatever device you next refresh on will receive it, so you want to make sure you do it on a device that once you Sync will actually save your latest game position data (as opposed to getting overwritten by newer game save data)

For example if you are playing on browser, then open mobile to Idle and Sync (becomes latest save point) and then spin the wheel, but instead of refreshing on mobile, you refresh on browser, what will happen is that the idle power will pop up, but then the latest save data that was applied when you Synced on mobile will be applied to the browser which will make your new power vanish

So if you play from browser and want to do the wheel spin, either close the browser & be sure to Sync on mobile before going back to browser, or just spin from the Settings menu and not from inside Idle so your save data is always only on the browser

Facts about TW

TW used to reduce its own cooldown time - these were epic days

Now it does not - these are sad days

Combine Auto-Dig + Insane TW + many 20% dig speed buffs = you can quickly drain all the digs on any level including Hex Earth (263 dig sites), right? Wrong - TW (and Idle time also for that matter, or SP TW) works so that it takes a rough summary of the elapsed time, so in the case of insane 8h, and breaks it into (I think) 30 segments it will analyze, so you have at most 30 points in time where Auto-Dig would be considered for invocation, so max of 30 artifacts you would ever get from this

Idle time works the the same way, so if you had lots of idle time, the result would be the same

So for example if you had Insane TW = 8h or Idle Time of 8h or even SP TW of 10h, and had sufficient 20% dig speed buffs (or 50% Adv dig speed buff or CW rewards, etc) so that you on average finish a dig in 1 min, you would expect to finish up to 8*60=480 (Insane TW or 8h Idle time) or 10*60=600 (SP TW) artifacts which exceeds even Hex (263 artifacts) so you naturally expect to have auto-dug them all ... but you'd only get 30 of them. And the result would be the same if you used 2h of idle time (but you might expect 2*60=120 artifacts) or even 1 lone TW power (expectation of 60 artifacts) but would only get 30 in each case

Similar function would apply to other Idle auto-functions - any of them would only be able to be invoked at the start of one of the time slices

Facts about SAC

Everyone knows about the wonders of SAC+FC

But did you know that you can use 1 SAC artifact to supercharge up to 3 army camps at the same time?

Technique:
- requires you to have low Idle Time and ample time to pull this off, this isn't a fast technique, just a SAC & FC power saving technique that allows you to do this all with SAC arti
- requires you to have at least Legendary
- activate SAC on 1 camp, Sync, then go Idle asap for 16h until SAC cooldown finishes
- 16h real time has passed so SAC is ready to be used again, but only 2h game time (Idle time) has passed so you still have 2h of supercharge left on the army camp if you have Leg SAC, or 6h if you have Insane SAC
- activate SAC on a 2nd army camp
- if you are using Insane SAC, you can do this again: Sync, then go Idle asap for 16h until SAC cooldown finishes, activate SAC on a 3rd army camp (but you can't do 4, b/c you'd already be into approx 6h+at least a few seconds game time proceeded, and thus if you wait 2h the 1st army camp would finish it's supercharging)
- now pop FC or SP FC and you get the benefit of 2x (Leg) or 3x (Insane) the number of army camps involved in the FC
- don't forget to pop a Clan Request at this time too
- you can also augment this with actual SAC powers to further amplify the effect

I have actually done the double SAC arti for a big request once, helped me beat the map powerless early after SAsc
