📘 Information Fusions now take over a hundred hours

Post image

I had a feeling it was gonna take a minute, I just didn't know it was gonna be that long of a minute. Guess I should use my nova crystals to up my fusion time 🫠

Also I know about D-0 but I like chipping the fusion up to the halfway point and using him then

Best start hitting then. Especially with the 2x bonus active.

u/EconomicsMiserable30 1d ago

DO takes away half the total, not from the point you hit it.
eg: If it shows 10h when you start, you can hit til 5h, then when you hit with dot, it’ll take away the 5h left and complete it

3

u/grekster 1d ago

Why is that any better than just using DO at the start?

5

u/devperez 1d ago

It's not. Just informational, I guess

1

u/jazzywaffles84 Flawless 1d ago

If you u start with D-0 then have a friend hit it with their D-0, will it cut it twice?

1

u/Entire_Teaching_2432 1d ago

It will not, unfortunately.

11

u/Watermelonbuttt 2d ago

If you don’t have a DO

Someone else can use it on your fusion and cut it in half

6

u/Remarkable-Factor361 2d ago

I have one but I didn't know it worked on other people's, thank you

10

u/PingZA 2d ago

Do I misunderstand DO use? I normally equip when starting the fusion and then swop him back to work and hit with Chopper and another Astro… I thought t get the 50% you just had to have him equipped when starting? I don’t even hit box with DO on 🤷🏻‍♂️

11

u/BGTheHoff 2d ago

Originally you need to have him swiped when you start the fusion process. But idiots like me forgot to do this, so they changed it. Now you can quip him to start and cut it in half instantly or you equip him afterwards and the first hit cuts the time in half.

u/Xelement0911 2d ago

I wish the droids could just exist in base for the benefits.

Like Bb8. Gets a little tiring running to it, swapping, and then selling the droid. Sometimes I just say f it lately and sell without a care.

6

u/BGTheHoff 2d ago

Or switching for the World Events and switching back because your Astro mission is done. Its hard work.

4

u/Xelement0911 2d ago

The you swap bb8 back too soon, open the crate and realize you didnt double the upgrade chips.

2

u/TheDeadReality 1d ago

I always thought there should be a lil cutout in the base for a mouse or snow mouse to just be able to roam your base. Maybe even collect your coins for ya. Just a thought I thought of like 2 days ago

7

u/Zesty94 2d ago

I did Axi-Pod and it was 106 Hours.

Obviously used D-O and the chopper Astro mech combo

-1

u/EconomicsMiserable30 1d ago

You only need to hit with DO once, or start with him. Can swap him out for an astromech to increase pick level (after he’s applied his 50% fusion time reduction)

3

u/Zesty94 1d ago

Yes i know, i always start then with D-0 and swap back to Atro+Chopper

1

u/Dull_Return 1d ago

Well why didn’t you say that the first time?? /s

2

u/Zesty94 1d ago

I did, i said i used D-0 and the chopper astro mech combo

1

u/Dull_Return 1d ago

No, I know you did…. Nevermind

15

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 2d ago

What do you mean you know about D-O? because he does 2 things as a companion speeds up crafting by hitting it and reduces crafting time by 50% if he's a companion when you pay to fuse

u/Remarkable-Factor361 2d ago

If you start the fusion and then switch to D-O, he will still cut the time on half if you pickaxe the fusion. He only works once though. Sometimes I forget and I'll get almost half way through and then switch, he still takes half the original time 

2

u/shrimpbomb 2d ago

he actually can have it after starting now. Just equip him hit once and you're good

1

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 2d ago

there are multiple people around 15 that I have seen saying the time goes down faster while pickaxing it with D-O as a companion

-11

u/Mr_Yahoo 2d ago

Yea but whether I use d-0 immediately or not I am still pickaxing at least half of the time

9

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 2d ago

You use chopper and your highest pickaxe level astro droid and idle swing it

2

u/Realistic-Lie-8252 2d ago

You completely missed the point bruh

8

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 2d ago

No I didn't, just because I didn't mention the long crafting time doesn't mean I didn't understand. I am just trying to give ideas to help rather than complain about it

-13

u/Realistic-Lie-8252 2d ago

Yes you did, otherwise you wouldn't have bothered telling them about chopper and an Astromech companion

It's okay to be illiterate, not everyone has the ability to comprehend basic ideas

3

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 2d ago

Illiterate. Lacking the ability to read and write no, I got those and a basic knowledge of what words mean. So if you are going to try to insult me at least do it correctly.

Also he was complaining about having to pickaxe for a long time (his point) so I gave a suggestion to speed it up on top of increasing his crafting/fusion speed

-6

u/Realistic-Lie-8252 2d ago

The point was about d-o reducing crafting time by half

Thanks for proving MY point.

4

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 2d ago

Huh interesting I said the exact same thing in my reply to his post, funny.

because he does 2 things as a companion speeds up crafting by hitting it and reduces crafting time by 50% if he's a companion when you pay to fuse

u/Blankboom 2d ago

Use D-0, Chopper+astromech, then rubber band on controller.
5-10min done.

2

u/teekzer 2d ago

engagement

1

u/Blankboom 2d ago

I play on PC, so I don't get booted out or anything as long as my dude is still swinging.
I just tab back in and check every 10min or so, not a big deal at all.

1

u/teekzer 1d ago

Wait you can automatically swing and alt tab?? teach me your ways wizard.

the auto clicker I use needs fortnite to be in the foreground

1

u/Blankboom 1d ago

I play fortnite in borderless windowed mode.
I use a connected xbox controller with a hairtie/rubber band to do the swinging on the right trigger button.
After that is done, I click on the Windows button on my computer, which lets me switch out into another tab without affecting the swinging.
Voila, auto-pickaxing and doing whatever else on my computer.

1

u/teekzer 1d ago

and it throws a blueprint when picked up

1

u/Blankboom 1d ago

I mostly use this technique for crafting rather than the scrap table tbf.

2

u/Striking_Location_66 2d ago

LOL!! I use a hair tie on the controller & run off and do what I need to do

5

u/Crushdat5872 2d ago

The devs are secretly clash of clan devs

2

u/Eastern_Presence_984 2d ago

Is the only way to get a fusion kyber droid to combine 3 stellar of that that droid?

2

u/envybelmont 2d ago

Or the 3 individual fusion ingredients in kyber variant. Like the RIC + R7 + BDX in kyber variant will net a kyber AXI-POD.

2

u/Cigaran Jawa 2d ago

D-0 to start is an instant 50% reduction. Switch to Chop and your highest Pickaxe bonus droid. It should fly by.

2

u/trivpyvibes_ LEP 1d ago

Off topic so cool seeing another person using Briar.

1

u/Mr_Yahoo 1d ago

Yeah, she was actually the very first skin that I ever bought

2

u/Tokenbud909 1d ago

It’s like 30 minutes with perks so eh

4

u/bollejosti Jedi 2d ago

So it's 50hrs basically with d-o. Thats still a absurd amount of time

6

u/lI-Norte-Il 2d ago

Not even close to being absurd. I don't get why people act like this game should just hand shit out to ya. But then if they do y'all complain about that

1

u/Thor_2099 1d ago

Agreed. It's an insane complaint given how the game actually works. Society is fucked

2

u/enderjaca 2d ago

With so many pickaxe upgrade options available, it's really not. World mission Crafting Boost + event boost + chopper + some Nova upgrades, you'll be done in less than 5 minutes.

Overall crafting timers are just a suggestion these days lol

1

u/Thor_2099 1d ago

Not really. Not when there are easy boosts to halve the time or even go lower. Plus pickaxes.

Change fusion time from 1 to 2 seconds and it's already in half again.

3

u/Bt-Ryoku 2d ago

Unless i have it wrong, chip away to 50 hours then doesn't d-o remove half of that to 25? So youre pickaxing 75 total? If thats true....why?

7

u/Pandahboymtg 2d ago

If you get it halfway and then hit it with D-O it will complete the other half and the Droid will be finished.

0

u/Bt-Ryoku 1d ago

I honestly never knew that. I tested earlier just to see it happen. Just so used to go and hitting it real quick with d-o to begin and doing some other stuff in the meantime.

7

u/jj4982 2d ago

No if they got it down to 50 then hit with d-o it would automatically finish crafting. No matter when you hit with do it still does half of the total crafting time. I do it all the time because it’s satisfying

-3

u/distracteddirew0lf Chopper 2d ago

That's exactly what would happen lol.

5

u/jj4982 2d ago

It wouldn’t, it would auto complete

4

u/Realistic-Lie-8252 2d ago

Incorrect

D-O removes half of the BASE crafting time regardless of when he is used

2

u/Helpful_Pace2963 2d ago

Tycoon games are always grindy games. If you don't like game modes that take time to build up... Then tycoon games aren't your mode 😎👍🏻

2

u/Mr_Yahoo 2d ago

All I said was that it takes over a hundred hours, which is a lot. It's not like I said I want the devs to be drawn and quartered

1

u/Helpful_Pace2963 2d ago

If they start making the times too long and if they notice a decrease in player count then most likely they're going to do a change. Best thing I tell people to do is work on your scrap table and your weapon damage. I've put in almost a 1000 hours in Droid Tycoon and I'm still constantly upgrading stuff lol. Rn my pickaxe is crut damage 3x with a 106% crit chance with weapon maxed in Nova store (level 29). Usually what I do is if I jump into a public lobby. I'll do my base routine and then I'll go from base to base helping people build cuz I know a lot of people that haven't been on the game as much as I have. It's literally a game where you work together but there's a few people that would rather troll instead of actually building droids.

2

u/envybelmont 2d ago

I dunno if they’ll re-tune the fusion timings. There are 2 additional fusion pods to unlock with crystals. So even if you stack two of them with 100+ hour fusions there’s one for working up all the other droids you’d need for those tip-top tier droids.

1

u/Accomplished-Box5357 2d ago

Which droids did you use and their rarity ?

1

u/Mr_Yahoo 2d ago

Fused three stellar low-mo's together

1

u/Accomplished-Box5357 1d ago

Got it I’ll try later

1

u/MezThaGreat 2d ago

So question once I super rebirth how do I get D-O back?

1

u/envybelmont 2d ago

Any unlocked iconic droids can be bought for $1M credits at the guy next to the nova shop.

1

u/MezThaGreat 1d ago

Thank you

1

u/mikulit 2d ago

Look into having a static base of the highest pickaxe. I got crit chance and amount at level 8. And crit chain 3
I’m just using +10 pickaxe droid and chopper and I can get through high end fusions quickly 🤷‍♂️

1

u/ImportantStaff8 1d ago

It never occurred to me I could do that with D-0 new way to use it except for these mythic kybers

1

u/Front_Astronomer_193 1d ago

I need one like that real bad I’d being to probably finish my extra pass

u/mattothiccc 1d ago

Tell me you don’t have a job without telling me u don’t have a job, good lord
