Lol Kech. I hope you didn't defeat that bot too badly.  Actually, she slaughtered me pretty handily  . It took me 4 tries to finally defeat her...she was a tough one. She didn't go down without a fight, that's for sure . Well I guess that explains why she reminded you of someone.  |

The Hanging Poisonous Posy is now available in the store. Not that anyone in his/her right mind would buy one. At around level 20, it shows up as vegetation to be cleared at a cost of 1 million! It takes 24 hours to clear the thing.
I'm going to start saving my Crystals to give out when there is a goal. It annoys me to have a goal I can't act on. I've often been up at midnight, and was giving my Crystals right away.
An apparent glitch--A goal comes up for me to build a Large Builder Zone. I build it, speed it for 1 Crystal and then sell it, getting the goal bonuses before I sell. The next time I come back to play, the same goal is there, so I do it again. Not complaining, but I don't think they planned it this way.
Regarding Gizmo attachments--I think the ones that matter in battle are the ones that indicate a battle advantage. Beware of Carrier as an opponent. You can't see what gizmo he has. The Rocket Launcher comes up and zaps you. Since I got my Grinder, I haven't lost a battle with him up front.

I realized last night that I clearly can't use the same strategy for this game that I did for DV. I keep running out of robux which I never had a problem with in DV. Food is also an issue, but that's because I've been leveling up my bots as fast as possible hoping for better odds in the arena. Last night I started losing battles in the arena, so I really need to figure out what I'm doing there especially since the price to fight is creeping higher now.

Leilani, I remember having trouble with the bot with the Stop sign and with the Grinder. If they are your opponents, avoid fighting until you get to a new level. Losing is no fun. Go back in this thread to Kech's advice, and focus on one or two bots for your fighters. Then you don't have to rush to level up the others. I don't see any advantage to using different fighters except to add to their earning power. I didn't bother with that until I had Grinder. Then, I systematically used each bot as backup until it was at 100% and then on to the next. |

Ok, so I read this entire thread. Looking for information on the attachments. What is worth having and not worth having. Can someone give me the basics? Or I can google it if you tell me to I am asking because I just started decorating and was given 2 accessories. I attached them to the right bots, but not sure if I should have a strategy here. Attachments:

Thanks Judy, I just went back and looked at that again.
Snibull, I haven't figured out the attachment thing yet. It seems that the only ones I've found increase earning and don't do anything in the arena. Since you can switch back and forth between attachments I haven't really been worried about it; although, I think I just came up with a good reason to have more than one of a specific type of bot. I'm thinking it would be cool to have a different attachment on each one. Then again it's early, I didn't sleep last night and haven't tried it so we'll have to see if I still think it's cool if I decide to try it.

Level 13 is a grind . The progress bar hasn't been moving as quickly as it did in previous levels. It will take some time to get to level 16 for the Science bots. Still missing Floodlight, Flower and Astro. It now costs 20k to enter into battles. Having Grinder as the lead bot isn't always a guaranteed victory but it gives me a fighting chance over any other bots. I'm almost hesitant to fight the battles now given that a defeat gets me nothing and a wasted 20k. I have a goal that requires me to plant an umbrel tree for 250k. That's half the amount of what I have currently saved up! That's one expensive tree. |

Any one good at math? I am trying to find out what the cheapest food to grow is, ie cost per food, but I can't find that info. All I find is the chart that is posted when you select a food. All of bots are at Level 9 now, goal is to get to that level 15 max which means always growing food but not breaking the cash flow issue. I played with it and think that the 30 min food is cheapest but again, math isn't my strong point at my age.

Judy, if you're looking for the "unit price" so to speak; then, you get a better value using the short growing times for food. However, if you can't or don't want to be on top of your device to keep harvesting and replanting; then, the choosing the longer times may be better.
5 snax 50 robux = 10 robux per snack
20 snax 250 robux = 12.5 robux per snack
75 snax 1,000 robux = 13.3 robux per snack
300 snax 5,000 robux = 16.6 robux per snack
800 snax 15,000 robux = 18.75 robux per snack
3,000 snax 75,000 robux = 25 robux per snack

Thanks so much for that, I was trying to figure the time into all that too, which got really confusing for me. Yes I did remember to change all the time into minutes so not all of my schooling was lost. This is so much easier Also Snibull, just stopped in for a visit. Loving your asteroid decorations. |

Thanks for the math Leilani! I'm just going by how much time will pass before I can check my game. I still have to upgrade I think to get all the snax.
And thanks Judy! My friends list is really so small I've been able to check out everyone's towns (is that what these are?) and get some ideas on decorating and what to expect for expansions and all.

Kech, is your Grinder equipped with the Disc? I'm not losing any battles with mine.
Snibull, I agree with the other Judy that your decorations are nice. It's hard with what they give us, but you have found a way to make things more attractive.

Judy, I'm using the saw for the Grinder. I was hoping to find a disc by clearing land but it's been eluding me so far. I haven't found or won any gizmos of importance yet. Did u buy the disc or did u find it? I have enough saved up to purchase the disc but will hold off if it's possible to find it instead. I haven't spent money on this game yet and was trying to save another 25 crystals for the last baby bot station. I faced the Grinder who was equipped with the disc yesterday and it was not even a fair fight. His first attack got my lead bot down to 5% health and his buddy finished me off. His 2nd attack killed my 2nd bot with one shot lol. It was a joke! After that lopsided battle, I realized how powerful the Grinder with a disc is . |

 I cannot visit anybody! Every time I try, I get thrown out of the game. So frustrating! But thank you everybody for visiting me and speeding things us. With this power-outage I cannot be on line so often so my progress is very slow.

Yaneya- hope they get it fixed soon  Am I supposed to do anything with the bots when they battle? I have completed 2 battles and just let them go at it. I've won both, but I'm wondering if I should be tapping or something. And if this requires tapping... Sni |

Very much like the difference in MT2 job times versus income. |

Yaneya, are they giving you any estimate of when they'll have you back up and running?
Snibull, all I've been doing is letting them go at it. The only thing I've done is speed it to the end when it's moving really slow or when it becomes obvious my bots are going to get their butts kicked. Now that it's $20k a battle, I'm trying to only fight when it looks like I have a certain win; although, I'm not very good at figuring that part out yet.

Hi Kech,
I bought the disc for Grinder. Probably my best investment, now that I see the trouble you are having.

Thank you all for sending me crystals, I really appreciate them and also the speed ups!
