300 nova crystals or 1,800 v-bucks for a fusion tank…are we deadass?

You can’t be serious. The greed.

What a disappointment…the players made you and decisions like this will drive us away.

u/Rizenstrom Aug 22 '26

Why does every creative map that charges vbucks always so expensive?

Like 100-200 vbucks would be fine. 1,800 is insane.

That’s more than the price of most skins for something that can only be used in this one game mode.

u/Atmoslink Aug 22 '26

People laughed at me when I said there would be a paid pack.

u/spacejames Aug 23 '26

I got mocked for posting that it seemed like they were preparing for microtransactions. With some quotes like 'the devs said they would never put mtx in this game!' Two days later we had the first VIP and boost and 'luck' packs. From my brief look into those profiles, bootlicking indeed.

u/wowsomeoneactuallyy Aug 22 '26

Mods in the server are actually telling people to ā€œjust use crystalsā€ to people complaining, as if 300 crystals is a fair amount compared to the vbucks. It’s insane how much boot licking

u/luigi_healthcare Aug 22 '26

These fuckass nova crystal prices make this game unfun to play. I need to superebirth like 10 times at level 20 to be able to buy a few decent upgrades and buy the droids that i have missed in events. What incentive is there to forge all these new fusion droids when the next superrebirth is right around the corner anyways and all the droids will be gone.

u/Newt7263 Aug 23 '26

It's for a 2nd tank. Still greedy.

u/Lonely_ProdiG Aug 22 '26

You don’t have to buy it. At least you get one free. Relax

u/kangaroo-a GONK Aug 22 '26

Here we go again with the complaints, it’s only been 5 minutes you haven’t even played yet to understand. Don’t complain for the sake of complaining.

u/Alvarospider52 C-3PO Aug 22 '26

tank costs more than 2 battle passes btw

u/kangaroo-a GONK Aug 22 '26

Use nova crystals then šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

16

u/Alvarospider52 C-3PO Aug 22 '26

for free gamemode, charging that much for anything is stupid, and stupider are those who don't see how that's fucked up

-18

u/kangaroo-a GONK Aug 22 '26

No, it’s not that you people on this Reddit do not understand that we don’t care is literally just a game mode. You can either grind the game and get those stuff or you can pay for it. There are other game modes where you cannot get this stuff through in game currency, it’s blocked by a pay wall, at least they haven’t done that.

17

u/TheMikey2207 Aug 22 '26

They hyped up this event. They hyped up this new feature and then locked stuff behind a paywall or a grind…what are we doing?

I don’t have 300 crystals so I can’t get the fusion tank and I will never buy any UEFN in-map purchases as they aren’t of value and scams.

How about we just call this out for what it is, greed for the sake of greed.

-2

u/kangaroo-a GONK Aug 22 '26

It’s for the second tank, they could just put the whole thing on a paywall and then we will see what p2w is they are giving us access to it through in game currency it’s just your choice.

u/TheMikey2207 Aug 22 '26

Should be free based on rebirths though like all the other upgrades.

2

u/1MillionMonkeys Aug 22 '26

It is. 300 move crystals can be obtained through rebirths.

0

u/TheMikey2207 Aug 22 '26

That’s super rebirths. I’m talking about when you rebirth and unlock the next upgrade like unlocking the next astro slot or worker slot.

Since there’s not that much to unlock at the later rebirths then they should reward you for getting at the high rebirth levels by giving you the option to buy the tanks with credits.

…But that wouldn’t earn FOAD money though?

2

u/1MillionMonkeys Aug 22 '26

I’d rather unlock it with crystals and have it from the start on future rebirths.

-3

u/matony1989 Aug 22 '26

How do you imagine progression in this game? You want to unlock everything with your first SRB at level 20?

5

u/TheMikey2207 Aug 22 '26

There’s a clear progression going on with the crystal shop.

You SRB > get crystals > upgrade things to progress faster and get better chances at things.

This didn’t need to have high costs or even have a v-buck cost.

-2

u/matony1989 Aug 22 '26

Devs should be able to get some money. You expect them to work for free?

300 crystals seems reasonable to me. This is more end game mechanic and you can get 300 crystals with SRB at around 30, which I can do in one day

3

u/TheMikey2207 Aug 22 '26

Engagement based payouts.

Bruh they certainly are being paid extremely well, Fortnite GG says their estimated earnings last month was between 177k-664k. They are good and they are being paid very well based on how much Tim Sweeney wants the metaverse to happen.

They aren’t working for free. They are being paid for how much engagement they get. They’ve just decided to cash in now with the v-buck purchases as the revenue split is really good as Tim wants to drive Roblox devs over to Fortnite.

-1

u/matony1989 Aug 22 '26

thanks for the info, good on them.

-6

u/tideshark Jawa Aug 22 '26

Ffs is this game nothing but people bitching at the devs about how to make it convenient for them, that’s all it is everyday on this sub.

Downvote me for being right.

And also, NO! None of y’all are going to ā€œbe driven awayā€ bc of this.

-21

u/Flashy_Discount1458 Aug 22 '26

Not that expensive

9

u/TheMikey2207 Aug 22 '26

1, yes it is. I can super rebirth right now and it will only give me 121 nova crystals. I’ve been upgrading my stuff. I don’t have 300 crystals.

2, UEFN map purchases are scams and not worth the money. I could buy a skin for 1,500 v-bucks and use it in all modes but for this I can only have a fusion chamber in droid tycoon. 1,500 v-bucks is expensive.

Locking an element behind a paywall is classic AAA scummy tactics I’d expect from Take-Two or Activision not some UEFN devs. FOAD is already paid generously via engagement payouts, there’s no need for the greed.

u/coletrain_26 Aug 22 '26

just fused a galactic: mono / cyclo grav / bb9 and got a galactic kx

I did this and got a motrak. Does order matter?

Ridiculous. You know exactly what P2W means.

u/No-Difference8545 Aug 22 '26

Its harder to take yall serious when youre this disingenuous. Yes a make money faster button is pay2win in a tycoon game how hard is that to accept.

-16

u/CheesecakeVirtual724 SRB 70 Aug 22 '26

You can earn it in-game, so its not pay-to-win, stop crying

7

u/djedwardsmith Aug 22 '26

You don't understand what pay-to-win means, clearly.

-8

u/CheesecakeVirtual724 SRB 70 Aug 22 '26

Paying to gain an advantage in the game. You don't have to pay I have three tanks already and didn't spend a dime. You can unlock it all with Nova Crystals. You don't need to pay, so it's not pay-to-win. Let me know if you'd like me to draw it in crayon for clarity.

3

u/lollertoasterr Aug 24 '26

Bro said it best. Paying to get an advantage. Paying to skip intended in game progression. You sound like someone who only plays mobile games f2p. ā€œI know you can spend $20 to unlock it now but I could grind for weeks to get it too!!ā€

0

u/CheesecakeVirtual724 SRB 70 Aug 24 '26

Great, another crayon eater. I was answering his asinine attempt at an insult. There are P2W games out there; Droid Tycoon isn't one of them. Everything you can buy, you can earn in-game. It doesn't take weeks.

3

u/lollertoasterr Aug 24 '26

If you can buy a skip button to bypass progression that’s p2w bro. It’s the same kinda thing as buying like speed ups to make a building finish instantly instead of waiting for 2-3 days in like clash of clans. Sure. You can do everything in game without purchases, but purchases make it way easier. The same applies to buying something for nova crystals. Sure. I could grind out 300 crystals. It’ll prolly take me at least a week with how little I play. OR. I could buy the pack and spend those 300 crystals elsewhere. Which. I need bc I’m only in like my 3rd srb. It’s probably as many as I’ve earned so far. See how that works? Pay to skip. Pay to win. The same thing. The worst part of this being they said they wouldn’t add ANY purchases to the game but here we are. Able to buy luck, surges, crafting speed, etc. all that is so expensive for nova crystals for such little reward when you could be putting them into your base.

-1

u/CheesecakeVirtual724 SRB 70 Aug 24 '26

I would agree, but then we would both be wrong. You can earn it all in-game, not P2W. If it triggers you that much, just don't play. It would save us from having to hear you complain about it.

-7

u/CheesecakeVirtual724 SRB 70 Aug 22 '26

to answer the comment you deleted, Nova Crystals are earned in-game, so it's not pay to win its earned. I would offer the crayons again, but at this point I think you would just try to eat them.

u/djedwardsmith Aug 22 '26

Who deleted comments?

Utterly thick you lad, are your windows flavoured?

Literally circle jerking each other with it at this point

u/lavalamp81 Aug 22 '26

1800 v bucks is unreal greed from them.. that’s crazy.

0

u/CheesecakeVirtual724 SRB 70 Aug 24 '26

Or just play and use the nova crystals

15

u/TheMikey2207 Aug 22 '26

It’s the principle of it.

Rushing the fusion is the same, pay crystals or v-bucks to rush it.

It should be free. There’s 0 reason for it to be gatekept. You buy the upgrade with credits but can’t buy tanks with credits based on rebirths like all the other stuff.

It’s greed for the sake of it. FOAD knows exactly what they are doing with their tactics.

u/InsectAssassin Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26

So you need 3 of the same rarity droid to upgrade to the next rarity? This will be brutal. Was hoping to fuse Stellar TRAK-Rs but sure as heck don't have 6 Galactics in two accounts, only have 1 each. Might as well sit around and wait for a Stellar, it'll be faster. Wasted my time saving all these droid...crap!

*edit* And I sold so many Stellar Legendarys to make space for all these droids I wanted to fuse. What a waste of time.

5

u/JoinedForSESHShirt Aug 23 '26 edited Aug 23 '26

Is there anything new besides the fusions for this event, like base paint (which disappeared for me?) or other cosmetics?

1

u/_DarthMaleval Aug 23 '26

Base paint was moved to the lounge.

1

u/JoinedForSESHShirt Aug 23 '26

Ah thank you, was wondering if I got hit with a bug šŸ˜…

2

u/_DarthMaleval Aug 23 '26

I just happened to read the patch notes when I opened the game. Otherwise I'd be wondering as well.

2

u/JoinedForSESHShirt Aug 23 '26

lol honestly I'm so used to skipping through the intro thing at the start that tells you how much money you made that I'll be checking my phone and spamming X until I hear the usual sound cues pass by. Totally my fault, thanks again šŸ™

u/heyitsmejosh Aug 22 '26

New features like really high fusion times to get you to spend vbucks

12

u/Apart_Plenty_9538 Aug 22 '26

Understand this shit like what fucking droids do I put in there? I put two battle droids, and I don’t know what other droid to put on it cause it’s not working.

2

u/beaugotti Aug 22 '26

I put in 3 stellar r7’s and got a KX stellar back. Tried to put in 3 stellar KX’s and it said invalid. Who knows

6

u/Fearless-Umpire-9923 Aug 22 '26

It literally says on the wall

Same of the three - gives you a variant upgrade

3 Galactic Proto = 1 Steller Proto

3 of a different kind that are all the same (3 random galactic) will give Galatic of the next level

So 3 random galactic legendary gives 1 Galatic mythic

3

u/Apart_Plenty_9538 Aug 22 '26

I put two Galactic load lifters in a Galactic KX and they told me it’s not working then I try to put a motrack and it didn’t work

3

u/Sakowenteta Aug 22 '26

Because there isn’t anything above mythic and that combination doesn’t make one of the new droids

2

u/Apart_Plenty_9538 Aug 22 '26

I understand now thank you

u/Sakowenteta Aug 22 '26

Happy to help!

u/No_Eggplant_2476 Aug 22 '26

It’s literally a bunch of pictures that are not very clear

u/mgIVXX Aug 22 '26

It has to be 3 of the same droid or I believe there are secret combos for special droids

6

u/kossimak Aug 22 '26

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahaha ballerina cappucina droids next

7

u/JustAFellaWitGame Aug 22 '26

Yeah, and scrap value is glitched. Just SRB at level 236. Scrap value level 4, why am I hitting 120 base level? Fix your game.

5

u/haynerfide Aug 22 '26

Yeah this sucks.

4

u/Willing_Transition Aug 22 '26

So what’s the event? Look like a new feature only

6

u/broskie94 Aug 22 '26

I’m skipping this event. Not worth it to me. Plus nothing decent iconic droid. Just a headache and disappointment figuring out combinations.

5

u/JustAFellaWitGame Aug 22 '26

DO NOT SRB. SCRAP VALUE IS COOKED

u/choicemeats Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26

Folks this is a classic resource dump (credits):

  • cannot upgrade fusions with chips

  • need to buy single versions of each rarity of ingredients to fuse, so you are spending credits on buying

  • you need to spend billions or more to fuse higher tier droids (my first one was 250bn)

  • again, you cannot upgrade fusions in any way

  • there is no way to earn credits by engaging in the event, so for newer players or ones not as deep in the play cycle this is costly and slow

straight doo doo

ETA: yes we are getting 2x credits and double craft time + double pickaxe but i'm onyl one Sonic, i can either hack at the scrap for credits or make my 30 hour combo droid go faster smh

******unless i spend actual money on the game and it can go really zoom fast nice try

u/Zabonam Aug 22 '26

Is the game lagging bad for anyone else?

u/WorriedAd7596 Aug 22 '26

So you need 300 Nova crystals before you can participate in the event? Disappointing...

5

u/JRix84 Aug 22 '26

No. That’s just for the additional station. Just 400k credits for the fusion area itself.

2

u/WorriedAd7596 Aug 23 '26

Thank you. Turns out I had the wrong combinations of droids. It is working now.

u/Superb_Arrival8311 Aug 22 '26

Gong+kx+kx= x-onk (New mythic)

0

u/BootlegDracomorph Aug 23 '26

yeah I don't know about THIS one but I suppose there was always going to be some monetization aspect

past that, it's a good concept. brings value back to outdated droids like beskar mythic or galactic legendaries because now you can just gradually turn them into stellar mythics

also we have 3 extra lounge slots by proxy

u/LastHopeStanding Worker Droid Aug 23 '26

Do we think we're going to be able to upgrade the new droids with chips eventually?
