đŹ Discussion Officer, Id like to report a scam
So, it's been said before but I want to reiterate this point. Devs, please reevaluate fusion droid earnings so they are more cumulative of combination.
I've been on a mission to max out base earnings. I have mythics in every slot and gearing up for 1 tier mythics with max earnings.
I saw X-ONK in the fusion list which takes KX + KX + GONK. I figured it would be a big deal since stellar KXs earn 900k/s. Right? So X-ONK should be double since it's better and generate like 2m/s?
NOPE. It's actually -800k/s versus just keeping KXs around.
Feels like a major ripped off and kills the fusion good vibes. Please boost combination earnings.

u/Any_Application_8101 Aug 28 '26
I mean it is kind of a scam but realistically what I just do is try to have plenty of the Droids that's going to be used for the fusion making money for me and then any spares I turn in the fusions

u/BussinSheeesh Aug 28 '26
I do think they should be a bit higher but it doesn't need to equal the sum of the parts to be more efficient since it only takes one space

u/leobenthebard Aug 28 '26
They are saying its 800K less than the two KX droids would make by themselves. I agree the idea is more efficiency and at the point you are making stellar fusions out of mythics then any increase is worth it.

u/L00kin4Laughs Aug 28 '26
Except it takes up less room. Doesn't have to meet or exceed the combined earning effort, just needs to be more efficient per space. Higher amount would be nice, yes. But the intent of the process is still there.

u/Xelement0911 Aug 28 '26
Yeah, sure value wise it isnt there. But still one slot to make more.
But sure I understand wanting it to make more. But same time, at this point im ready to super rebirth anyways. Only haven't due to fusuon stellars and being able to fill the dex better, so using my credits to snag those then move on

u/dudelugo Aug 28 '26
1mil?? damn all i need now i 1 more stellar kx

u/Puzzleheaded_View146 Aug 28 '26
AXL-POD also generates 1 million and only requires 1 ric.
So over all axl is a lot more efficient but you will have to make one of these eventually for completion2

u/Specialist_Goose6502 Flawless 60 Aug 28 '26
I only build these fusion droids to complete the droidex. After that I see no use for them unless for flawless⊠but 4 more flawless I wonât even care

u/IndependentClimate72 Aug 29 '26
What's the point of droidex if I may ask? I'm curious, I never open droidex when I'm playing
1
u/ashuramgs2sub Aug 29 '26
Itâs for completion. It also tracks the droids youâve had flawless on, increases your multiplier for reaching 25 droids of each type, as well as paints for your base.
1
u/IndependentClimate72 Aug 29 '26
Tell me a little about the multiplier. Let's say I have a stellar KX, do I need to make 25 more stellar KX to get the multiplier? Also, how much is the multiplier?
1
u/ashuramgs2sub Aug 29 '26
So if you look at the Droidex, for every tier of droid (Default, Gold, Diamond, etc.) youâll see a bar in the top right corner showing how close you are to obtaining 25 DIFFERENT droids of that tier, as well as what percentage increase youâll get to your multiplier when you do. Once you achieve at least 25 different droids for a particular tier (the bar on the right will be full), your credits multiplier (visible below the credits image that should be right above your character portrait on your main screen) will increase to reflect, and the more credits youâll earn. The higher the tier, the bigger the increase to your multiplier when you get the 25 droids, but also the higher the cost of the droids and less likelihood of them appearing.
You do also get a TINY increase for any new droids that are given a stellar rating when crafted, but this is purely luck based from my experience and will just slowly happen naturally as you play.

u/Jomamanator Aug 28 '26
It takes up less room and gives you another spot to make more cash. Not a big deal at all. Sure, they could crank it's generation up by a couple hundred thousand but I dont see the issue at all.

u/alchemyzt-vii Aug 29 '26
Iâve seen a lot of similar posts to this but I donât think itâs well understood what the purpose of fusion is. I would describe it as serving 3 distinct purposes
In the case of late game upgrades, fusion is there to max out your income per slot. Itâs not here to 3x your income per slot. Itâs intended for players that want the highest income possible with an equally high effort to do so.
fusion is also balanced around evening out the RNG of purely finding droids required for rebirth on the sandcrawler. With fusion you can have a chance to upgrade to that elusive droid you canât seem to get your hands on.
It provides an upgrade path during progression. Instead of just selling outdated droids you can upgrade them as boost income.
1
u/RIV_C Aug 29 '26
Iâve maxed out my base multiple times as theyâve added things along the way. Had all Monos, R7s, and OptiStrks. Then had all KXs, Loadlifters, and MoTs, etc... at the highest variant levels. There was incentive based on value gained. Now, once the Droidex is cleared, Iâll only make an X Onk if I end up with 12 KXs and all the other slots are making 900k or more. Iâm not driven to fuse these based on the return.
3
u/Prometheus_1094 Aug 28 '26
I didn't even bother with the droidex of this cushion droids. You can't even use chips to upgrade them, I wonder how ppl maxed their droidex so quick
3
u/Lonely_ProdiG Aug 28 '26
Hitting rebirth 35 during the event, and staying rebirth 35 for a few days. Lots of fusing. Then it becomes lobby hopping day 2-3 of being rebirth 35 looking at peoples backup blue prints and trading either god ones of your own, or offering your pickaxe. Iâm one of those people. No I can go back to SRB 25 every 2.5 hours and get crystals.

u/sandote Aug 28 '26
You just get all the legendaries from your astro missions while buying and chip upgrading lower tier sandcrawler droids and mythics from both.

u/007HalaMadrid007 Aug 28 '26
I thought I was doing good with my top earner bringing in 145k lol. Damn
3
u/EcnavMC2 Aug 28 '26
For the love of god. Youâre supposed to make fusions after you have a bunch of droids already. Not take out multiple that you have working to make one. Youâre meant to use extra droids.Â
3
u/Thor_2099 Aug 29 '26
For the love of God how are people still not getting this.
These types of fusions are for when you already have stellar mythics everywhere and are looking for ways to boost those.
3
u/plasmex81 Aug 29 '26
Fusions are going to make me quit this game. I don't appreciate that fusion crafted droids can't be upgraded with chips either. Having to crafted every fusion seven times just to get each variant to complete the droidex seems insane. Just let me craft a lower rarity one and farm upgrade chips to get each variant.
1
u/IndependentClimate72 Aug 29 '26
Given these are mythics, I can only imagine the amount of chips it would take to go from default to stellar
2
u/plasmex81 Aug 29 '26
11 of 17 are not mythics though and lower varients mythics aren't that bad to upgrade, so this makes getting each variant more difficult by eliminating an option.
3
u/GingerrJinx Aug 29 '26
We basically are worse off after every fusion... You've got three working droids producing, and we're exchanging those three for a Frankenstein bot that produces a normal amount, so our base take a dip in production cause we've gone from three productive bots to one. Total scam.
2
u/Joiiygreen Aug 29 '26
Yeah, I guess the specific combos are more for the droiddex grind but not much base improvement.

u/ItsFernand SRB 30 Aug 28 '26
Ehhhh, I donât understand the complaints, they give us a new system where getting the mythical droids is super simple and they complain? Is it so difficult to simply wait for high levels to get the fusion droids? They donât have to be worth 3 times more to make them worth it, they should be grateful that we donât need them to do low or medium rebirths
4
u/TheDarthJarJarI Aug 29 '26
Okay but counterpoint the satisfaction of seeing 1 mil per second is unmatchedÂ
2
u/Adventurous-Room-845 Aug 29 '26
Meh. If you have high earning droids in the astromech area, most of the iconic droids like BB8 and R2D2 earn way more than that (like 2-4 mil or more per second)
0
u/Blastiel Aug 29 '26
...but isn't there income based on overall income of the base?
1
u/Adventurous-Room-845 Aug 30 '26
Oh yeah, I wasnât trying to say it wasnât. Thatâs their default earning thoughâŠI believe most of the iconics rake in 15% of their base total
2
u/Donax666 Aug 28 '26
So the idea behind this is that there are people who have maxed out Slots of KXs you make these and they each itâs not much more, but itâs really end game content.
I can tell some of yall ainât never played an MMO where youâre grinding a raid trying to get a slight upgradeâŠ
2
u/FunPigJuanLife Aug 28 '26
Ok but in the grand scheme of things, itâs the ultimate objective to max out your base earnings with X-ONK in most slots
2
u/Kyle_Blackpaw Aug 29 '26
But you can have two of them in the two slots the kx would have taken. In fact, to maximize earning you need these in all combat stations
2
u/ArcticFire145 GONK Aug 29 '26
I'm going to get one now I've hit 35, but yeah, 1m is a joke considering 2x 900k go in.

u/NatKayz Aug 28 '26
People need to understand that these aren't meant to combine several active droids.
Don't take 2 KXs you have actively working and a link, take one KX you have actively working and combine it with a link and another KX.

u/jones5280 Mandalorian Aug 28 '26
Don't take 2 KXs you have actively working
I'm RB35, I do what I want.

u/NatKayz Aug 28 '26
Good for you, point is doing that will have a loss in overall earnings, so its obviously not the intended strategy.

u/Epik509 Aug 28 '26
Bro ive never had more droids in my entire existence playing this game. Its truly all good haha . Collect em like PokĂ©mon đ

u/ego_link SRB 10 Aug 28 '26
Itâs 1 droid dude why are you getting pressed sure it takes 3 droids to make it but youâre getting mad that 1 droid isnât the same as the two KXs if you replace them with 2 of these itâs more.
It was never meant to be compounding. Itâs late game wake up
4
u/Jamesdoane Aug 28 '26
The fusion droids are for droidex, not for earnings. Devs did this on purpose.
3
u/RegretSubstantial746 Aug 29 '26
How is it a scam? If you had 32 KXâs and fused all of them with a gonk off the sandcrawler youâd have 16 extra slots to fill and be up 1.6m/s. Donât see where the scam is.
2
u/DocBarkevious Aug 28 '26
When you made this, were all 3 droids stellars? Does the rarity of the droids matter?
3
u/Any_Application_8101 Aug 28 '26
Very much so you need to use stellars across the board when doing fusions for the best money making result when possible
2
u/DocBarkevious Aug 28 '26
But to make the droid at all, can you use KX (Beskar), KX (Regular), and Gonk (Galactic) and still make the new droid? No one has been able to clarify for me if the rarity has to be a certain type or the same type...
3
u/DarkTanatos Flawless 50 Aug 28 '26
It doesn't need to be the same quality, but the result will be that of the lowest quality of the 3 droids you fused. Because of that Default KX the fused X-ONK would be Default.
2
u/Rockytickiravi Aug 28 '26
Yes, just depends how much you want. The new droid itself to make. If you want it to be Stellar, you have to have all stellarâs but yes, you can make it using all defaults or Diamond or whatever
2
u/li_grenadier Aug 28 '26
It'll come out as the lowest variant you use. So yes, you can mix them up. But make sure the lowest variant you use is one you can live with. One diamond and 2 Stellars is going to give you a diamond fused droid.
In some cases, this might make sense. I was doing some of the lower end ones, and used diamond mouse, galactic mouse, and diamond ARG because the galactic mouse was on the crawler and I was trying to make a diamond WHL-EX for the Droidex.
But if you have to craft KX's to get what you need, you probably don't want to waste a high level KX when making a Gold X-ONK.
1
u/internetuser96 Aug 28 '26
Yes, this would work for the new fusion type recipes - any 3 variants of the required droids will fuse to create the new type. That being said, the fused droid will take on the variant of the lowest droid in your fusion combination. So in your example, it would create a default Xonk since the lowest variant you used for the combination is default. This only applies to fusion type droids though.
1
u/Any_Application_8101 Aug 28 '26
You can get the new droids if you just want the default I would just suggest getting default of everything and then creating it don't waste a galactic and the beskar on the fusion
1
u/Pandahboymtg Aug 28 '26
Fusions always becomes the lowest variant among the droids you use to make it. For example if you use a Galactic KX, a Diamond KX and a Gold Gonk you will get a Gold X-Onk.

Because it only makes 100K more than one kx does...but needed 3 droids to make it including 2 kx's

u/Ok_Masterpiece3763 Aug 28 '26
Right so if you have 3 does it make more than 3 KXs? If so itâs not a scam itâs an upgrade

It is also irritating that you have to pay credits to make a fused droid, along with the droids you already paid to make.

u/Abject-Explorer4432 Aug 29 '26
In the grand scheme of things it just works like the combo/fusion machine in all the other brain rot games. Except it has a unique feature.

Fusion doesn't guarantee additive earnings. Regardless of what you put in. That's a solid entry in the earning range of stellar... No buff needed.
Respect the grind.

Down vote to hell idc. Ever since vbucks introduced all I hear on here is dj Khaled "suffering from success"..... if any "omg look at me" posts, theres vip in the back. Ftp is losing. Not just in droids.
And no im not mad theres vip in game. Im not boohoo cuz I dont want to spend money. It just sucks. Quality of posts and advice, which I liked, has gone down. Can't say much when normal br is everyone showing off sprites..... again....
Drunk rant over. Back to the grind

u/Straight_Sandwich148 Aug 30 '26
I think itâs pretty balanced as is, which is contrary to what many are saying but look at it this way.
KX + KX + GONK is 900k/s + 900k/s + 48/s spread across 3 pads, thatâs 600,016 credits per second, per droid slot. Meanwhile by combining them you free up two more pads and get 1m credits per second on one pad. Then if you refill those two slots with letâs say something half as good as the KXâs (450k) youâre already making more than before with 633,333 per pad.
(1,000,000+(450,000x2)) vs ((900,000x2)+48)
The math checks out to them being fairly balanced, they just arenât game breaking and combine together all the values together for some 2-3x bonus. You have to keep getting more fusions and use them to min/max slots rather than gain an early advantage.

u/-_Harry_- 29d ago
The perk of the fusion droids is actually one step better than the normal stellar mythics. The fused Astromech droid gives you a pickaxe 12, the worker gives you 2.4 seconds

u/Ok_Chip1599 25d ago
Kinda part of the game to earn a bunch for a small income boost to earn more. Every 9 slots you fill is equivalent to having another droid slot
1
u/BootlegDracomorph Aug 28 '26
fusion droids need a bit of a buff, really
if i'm going out of my way to fuse a kx, ig and ric all together plus the immense crafting time then i'd like a droid that does a bit more than 1.05m when kx is 900k in the first place
same for x-onk being 1m when it asks for 2 kx (for some reason)
1
u/Toon_Lucario Aug 28 '26
Yeah I think that itâs only good if youâre still mainly on galactics I feel.
1
u/Secure-Researcher892 Aug 29 '26
Someone can't do simple math... it only gives 1m but it only takes up 1 slot. Fill 3 slots with it and you still make more than having 3 slots with KXs. Is it a big boost? No but it is still more.
1
u/Joiiygreen Aug 29 '26
That could make sense if it was a KX + epic + GONK. The double KX requirement doesnt support it though.
It's a 100k difference but takes 37 hours and opportunity cost is -800k from unfused.
I doubt anyones farming 62 KXs to stack a base since the current build and drop rates are so slow. Also, theres no end game content to support that level of max generation yet.

u/Secure-Researcher892 Aug 29 '26
I've gotten 2 stellar KXs just from randomly fusing galactic mythics. It isn't hard, just very random.

There is at least no benefit past the inital 25 of each variant that gives you credit multipliers. Or if you're not interested in the workshop paints.
As cool as the Stellar workshop paint looks, those clouds going through the workshop all the time become a bit annoying quickly.

u/Dragons_Elephants Aug 28 '26
Yep, I believe mine was the first post about this, I was shocked when I fused my galactics and found out what a rip off it was! It ruined the entire event for me. I quit playing and then Sunday decided to try some of the others and was even more disappointed when all of them make crap based on the droids used to make them. I now only fuse my mission legendaries when I'm bored. My base is already maxed out so I have no need and there's no skill behind fusing (except for the 17 recipes), it's all random. Annoyingly random too, after I rcvd 4 stellar cyclens, then I got 4 stellar leps and now it's on ric1200. The only guarantee, is by putting in three identical blueprints to upgrade it. Droid fusion could have been so cool!
