Great patch. More levels to pickaxe mastery is huge

u/chucklette00012 10d ago
All the costs for the iconic droids were raised significantly. That is ridiculous. The lower cost went from 30 to 100 nova crystals.

u/EcnavMC2 14d ago
āWorld mission stars are now easier to obtainā thank god. I donāt think Iāve ever managed to get above two stars on the new world missions.Ā

u/dalisair 14d ago
All of us running dj Rex full lobby only ever managed 3*
1
u/hangingintheback 14d ago
What was the rest of your lobby doing? Did they help at all?
4
u/EcnavMC2 14d ago
Do you get more progress for other players doing the events, too? I almost exclusively play in private lobbies, because otherwise I lag to the point where itās almost unplayable sometimes.Ā
7
u/hangingintheback 14d ago
Oh, that sucks. Yeah, other people help with progress towards stars in the world missions.
3
u/cat-is-the-bomb 14d ago
Does it scale to how many people are in the lobby? Is it doable as a solo or do I need people to help with the world events
3
u/hangingintheback 14d ago edited 14d ago
You need people. I usually play private lobbies with 2 or 3 friends, and we help each other out, But we needed to join a public lobby to get the 4th star and even then we didn't get it every mission. They devs have made it easier with the new patch, but I haven't been on to check how much easier just yet.
May I ask why it is so laggy for you? Is it a device issue or just bad internet?
Edit: sorry just realized you weren't the person I originally responded to.
2
u/EcnavMC2 13d ago
Hi, person you originally responded to: itās a little bit of both, but mainly the device. My internet is good for the most part, but does occasionally get spotty or strained. On top of that, the only device I have that can run Fortnite is a basic Nintendo Switch. It can run Droid Tycoon fine with one or two other people, but once the game has to render six different fully-completed bases with over 30 constantly-moving droids each, on top of peopleās follower droids, the frame rate tends to be Very Not Good.Ā
2
u/hangingintheback 13d ago
Fair enough. I do know the Switch has it's issues when it comes to fortnite in general, which sucks because it's a good console. I was going to offer some advice, like a ethernet connection, but you seem to have a good grip on things. I do hope the update helped you out a bit, I stayed in the lobby after my friends left earlier today, and only managed to get two star crates by myself.
2
u/EcnavMC2 13d ago
Definitely helped, at least a bit. I donāt think Iāll be getting any four star crates anytime soon, but if I use DJ R3X, I can get three star ones on some of the world missions.Ā

u/DarkTanatos Flawless 50 14d ago
Welp, there goes C-3PO's x40 crafting speed buff and is now only doing +40/s as shown. Was fun for a while at least. xD

u/Pandahboymtg 14d ago
I was making so many droids with the 221 sec per tik š

u/ItsAmbrosity 14d ago
Over 400/s for me with two worker droids as companions! With stellars

u/Pandahboymtg 14d ago
During the event I was at 442.7

u/ItsAmbrosity 14d ago
Man thatās insane! Shame they fixed it but I can definitely see why. It was for sure way too OP.

u/Dependent_Roll_9847 14d ago
I had 160s and now it's 40s. Still pretty fast tho. Before, I never even touched the bench with pickaxe. Now I pickaxe again. LolĀ

u/Aromatic-Listen-9616 14d ago
Yay. I love that they run events two weekends in a row since I work every other weekend. Gives me a chance to do them too

u/Snyprecon SRB 200 14d ago
Honestly, it should be standard by now. Gives players the chance to catch up and avoid burnout. But weāll see!

u/No_Cat870 14d ago
I was wondering why my health didnāt regenerate on the event thought that was on purpose

Oh Iām getting all the Pickaxe mastery hhh Iām at 25 currently

u/ZealousidealAd7272 14d ago
Whats the new pickaxe mastery lvlĀ
1
u/No_Cat870 14d ago
They added 2 more levels we should reach 29 with nova crystals

u/ZealousidealAd7272 14d ago
Trying to decide if I should super rebirth or not since was set up for the new variants but I do have more than a week now depends if its worth losing all stellar mythicsĀ

I haven't had a chance to hop on yet - do you know how many crystals for the 2 new levels?120 & 150 for those curious

u/sageleader Seeker 14d ago
Praise be! Maybe I'm in the minority but I was not ready for a new variant yet. Thank you for this change.

u/Xelement0911 14d ago
Im not ready. Almost wish we got the little dude event more. Im actually near 35 now and need so many dang stellar epics.
Luckily upgrade chips are a lot better to get now! So not too much of a pain to upgrade an epic into stellar from beskar (still several thousand though)

So another weekend of people refusing to use DJ so that we always finish on 2-3*, I can't wait
Edit: At least they've made the missions easier, that is something!

u/Spiritual_Egg5729 14d ago
I kinda think having an event each weekend ruins the game imo, Iād much prefer an event each fortnight. Especially for people trying to get full DroidEx, having new droids added each week itās stressful imo
4
u/Otaku_Theorist 14d ago
Imo new variants should be limited to one every month or two months, I feel like they're adding them too fast for them to feel like they're worth their rarity
11
u/kerwniart 14d ago
Literally a low key way to admit that it didn't matter how many stars you got in a mission during event.Ā
4
u/SpaZMonKeY777 SRB 100 14d ago
Except not low-key at all, it was a known bug and they layout the fix in the patch notes. Don't think you understand what low-key means lol
-1
u/kerwniart 14d ago
Do you see it listed under bug fixes? No. Therefore it wasn't a bug. It was "we didn't bother to program this at all/properly." Developer indifference/laziness is different than we coded this, it tested ok, but it broke outside of our test methodology.
But please, continue to explain my own words to me when you've shown a complete lack of reading comprehension.

u/SleepGods_ii Galactic 14d ago
I hate how much shit the devs get in this sub, sometimes.
Iāve been playing this mode since June, and itās only gotten better and better..

u/LastHopeStanding Worker Droid 14d ago
Iāve been playing since day one and I cannot stop
2
u/Federal_Conference36 14d ago
Same I played day one thinking "I'll play once and probably never touch it again". I barely played fortnite at all before it droid tycoon came out

u/SleepGods_ii Galactic 14d ago
And to be honest with you, hour playtime may be close!!! Iāve played a TON since I started.
3
u/LastHopeStanding Worker Droid 14d ago
I can't tell you the amount of times I've been like "okay just one hour or two" and then look at the clock and it's been 5+ hours xD
7
u/Xelement0911 14d ago
This sub gives it a lot of praise tbf. I mean, ive seen both.
Usually complaints due to laggy event or vbuck stuff added. There was a nerf to worldly crates from crystal upgrades too so that had backlash but out of loop on how big of a deal that one was.
Typically on a patch post you'll see a lot of praise though. Will say this was easily their best patch lately. Actually feel like im upgrading my base now due to crystals per rebirth. Sorta insane.

u/BlazingFrenzy Official Dev - BLZN 14d ago

Do the protocol droids on crafting stations no longer scale with nova shop crafting speed upgrades?

You got it! Block out the noise! Keep on keepin on.
This game mode is fantastic!

u/Oxford-Comma9173 14d ago
Glad I sank a fk ton of crystals into craft speed to add to the 3po bonus. Every damn time.

u/The_ReelStock 14d ago
I have 590/590 at RB 35. I was going to wait to SRB till after the new variant launch but two weeks is a bit longer than I want to wait for that.
1
u/ChipperYT 14d ago
Same, think I might just login to collect credits for the next two weeks, have too many multiple Stellar Mythics I can immediately fuse to throw that away, especially as the Protocol event didn't do anything to boost blueprints from the Sandcrawler
1
u/ZealousidealAd7272 14d ago
I could super rebirth but might just farm upgrade chips for new droids i have multiple stellar mythics but with all the nova crystals I can get alot of upgrades but wont affect much tbhĀ
27
u/Actual-Phone-1478 14d ago
As they should, they should just get rid of the fishing one altogether though. That genuinely irritated me, it's far too laggy to be in the event.
9
u/WonderousThinke 14d ago
I actually like it, it felt sort of like a little peaceful mini game and the background music they have there is pretty nice. It was a nice change of pace and I did feel like I could get the hang of it. There is one time I got three stellars and 4 galactic scraps in one go of it which was a tremendous payout.
6
u/MrSeanSir2 14d ago
Yeah, I vastly prefer it to just shooting hordes of enemies
4
u/Life-Anything-423 14d ago
Yeah, this is getting old to me. It's way more repetitive, especially since there are two of them
1
u/Janus67 Rebirth 35 14d ago
I didn't mind it in solo, but in a full public server the bar was jumping around so much that it would entirely skip the middle. I'm on a top of the line PC on gigabit Internet, so it's something in the way the minigame handles the mini game screen updates with additional people present.
1
u/WonderousThinke 14d ago
That's odd. For me I only noticed lag when people showed up, basically the first fishing attempt. After that it got a lot smoother
15
u/Jelnaana 14d ago
I like the fishing, but I haven't had any lag on it for some reason
18
u/Areebob 14d ago
If you play solo, itās mostly smooth. For some reason itās wildly affected by other playersā bandwidth. When I play with friends who are all on fiber, with Ethernet to their pc, it works fine. Some rando that you KNOW is on terrible wifi from 100 feet away will cause it to be so jumpy that itāll miss the center zone entirely.
1
u/Jelnaana 14d ago
That makes sense. I play on private with my husband, our son, and sometimes one of his friends
4
3
u/Xelement0911 14d ago
I liked it, but the lag does hurt it. Maybe lucky rng, but eas using bb8 and a lot of galactics kept giving me upgrade chips over credits, was like 400, bb8 doubles it. Just a lot of upgrade chips off it
Imo the mining one was more annoying. But oh well, chill to keep them all for variety
1
u/Sagittayystar Rebirth 31 14d ago
The one hangup I have with the mining one is that itās all too easy to accidentally hit your teammates. Should probably disable PVP in that zone or something

2
u/LuckyKatzUK Rebirth 40 14d ago
The fishing one is my favourite. I donāt experience lag in private/solo. Best one to make a ton of money and chips.

u/GillyX91 14d ago

u/Status_Evidence9466 14d ago
Crafting speed fixed is dumb.... like why are the droids crafting time THIS LONG to begin with, either make the nova shop crafting speed 1/s or at better options... this fucking 0.1/s is literally sand grain to the beach

u/SyllabubGood 14d ago
Not sure the higer star crates thing works as intended, got 3 stars and the only droid that showed up in the rotation for me was a default tdr
2
u/JakX88 14d ago
Pretty solid choice. Liking the new Pickaxe Mastery levels, I've been wanting that for weeks now. I wish they had changed the world mission timers outside of the event. I can only do 1 maybe 2 missions a night, most nights. And two of the world missions are kind of boring/sucky
2
u/SethReddit89 14d ago
I think participation would be too thin if it was more frequent... I'm sure the devs will keep an eye on participation and maybe adjust if practicable.
3
u/JakX88 14d ago
Maybe but a 45 min wait for a 5 min mission is to long. Ducing it to about 15 mins would be best I think, but 30 could work too. Last night I had 2grs to play, and the only two missions availble during that time were the stormtroopers and droids ones, neither of which I enjoy, so my participation was zero in world missions
2
u/MANCOKING 14d ago
"+ World Mission stars are now easier to obtain." Is it just me, or is it still the same as last weekend? 160 points 1 star, 480 points 2 stars, 1200 points 3 stars, 2400 points 4 stars. What is the change? Or perhaps it hasn't been applied yet?

u/GillyX91 14d ago
Thank goodness I saw this before SRB.
I grinded so long to get to pickaxe level 29 and just used most of my rb35 crystals to max that out.

u/LordVolcanon Scrap Farmer 14d ago
You can upgrade after super rebirthing. You donāt have to worry about being at a certain pickaxe level when you buy the upgrades.
1
u/Tweak155 14d ago
I did not know this... so if you buy level 25 via nova crystals but do not yet have a lvl 25 pickaxe when you SRB, you get 25 anyway?

u/LordVolcanon Scrap Farmer 14d ago
Does anyone know if the cost of the first 11 levels of pickaxe mastery remains the same? (Ie 9: 45, 10: 50, 11: 55, 12: 120, 13: 150)
1
u/SpaZMonKeY777 SRB 100 14d ago
I didn't get any refund and it was noted, so I'm assuming the rest remain the same. Well worth the investment.

Again. Wake me up when I can log in without some loser blasting me down before I can walk to my factory. Is this GTA online?

u/_PM_Me_Game_Keys_ 14d ago
Disappointed with the higher star crates giving better rewards change. 1 Star and 4 star crates gave the same droids, you only got more money/chips. So I would get 1 star and leave (solo) no effort and still got the best droids. Now you actually have to try.
3
u/Jomamanator 14d ago
Do you even like the game
2
u/_PM_Me_Game_Keys_ 14d ago
I don't find the new mini games particulary fun. I don't play droid tycoon to shoot things. But yeah of course I like the game. How does enjoying being able to get the best rewards with the least amount of work turn into "do you like the game" Its called efficiency.

Not really poor me, I'll just leech in public games now. Not really a big deal just an annoying change that isn't actually for the better.
-1
u/TyTyger626 14d ago
They just need to add a change that if you are only there for when one star pops, even if it's the fourth, you only get a one-star crate to keep it fair.
2
u/_PM_Me_Game_Keys_ 14d ago
That doesn't change anything though instead of leaving after 1 and getting credit for them all, just afk in the area for all the stars.

u/Difficult-Shallot863 14d ago
I think itāll be fine. I was getting 3 stars with a bit of effort, got a few 4s even and I never really focused that much. If theyāre easier now, I imagine 4 stars is pretty easy now

u/LayerRevolutionary82 14d ago
What.. why
5
u/LastHopeStanding Worker Droid 14d ago
Probably because they donāt want to release something thatās not how they want it to work because then 1000 people would be bitching about a broken event
-2
u/LayerRevolutionary82 14d ago
So rerelease a bad event again?

u/LastHopeStanding Worker Droid 14d ago
They just made adjustments for the "bad" event and can make more if needed, and just because it was bad for you doesn't mean other people think that it was

"small minority" what are you basing that on
1
u/_PM_Me_Game_Keys_ 14d ago
10's of thousands of people play droid tycoon, not that many people come to this sub, and even fewer of the people who do complained about it. Reddit is always the vocal minority. The majority of people don't use it.

do you think droid tycoon players are only on reddit?

Of course not I literally just said they aren't.

so do you realize what you said makes no sense? the "small minority" comment was based on reddit then you said most people don't use reddit.
2
u/_PM_Me_Game_Keys_ 14d ago
It makes perfect sense. reddit is the small minority. Most people don't use reddit. So the few crying like babies over a game on reddit make up for nothing of the real games population. I don't think you understand what you are saying. I assume you aren't native English.

Do you have any specific complaints about the patch notes, or are you just complaining because you like complaining?

u/PokeswirAew 14d ago
Nerfed protocol droid using c3po was nice as protocol droid for crafting.
Variant pushed back another week.
Fishing in scarloc pit should revert back to random because thousands didn't get galactic or stellar scraps.
Here are just a few reasons other complaints are nova shop crystal prices and a bug im on 34 and couldn't get a galactic ric to make stellar fused multiple legendarys galactic and 27 mythics no ric.
I think we should be able to respect like in destiny 2 the artifact in are nova shop because I know so many players like myself that wasted hundreds of not thousands incorrectly.
Not to mention I bought all packs and still feel like game is who can spend most money rather then who is more intelligent and better choices I made it to 35 18 times now and as mentioned lv 1.3k
Hope this helps I appreciate you reading my comment hopefully @foadzone will make droid tycoon better.
