@fbueckert 150 candies gets you your first sword.

Ben Brocka

Yeah I still have no chests and haven't earned enough candies for the iron sword

LessPop_MoreFizz

I think I am going to save up for Silver Sword before I attempt the Underwater Cave.

Ullallulloo

@BenBrocka I got one on my first forest. :P

Had both swamp and hut maps.

and farm key

LessPop_MoreFizz

Which is going to take a while at the rate my Goblin runs are going.

Ben Brocka

what do grown lollipops do?

Fluttershy

20:01

@BenBrocka I think lollipops can upgrade your sword.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka You can replant them to get more lollipops.

And I know you can trade them to the sorceress eventually for something

Q: Old platformer game where:

I wish to find a game from my childhood. From what i can recall: You controled an animal, it might have been orange - so a fox or squirrel. The goal of the game was to collect coins/other floating things and to get to the other side. You could climb ladders. Enemies: This part is quite memorabl...

Silver Sword Woop Woop.

Ullallulloo

@BenBrocka To get to the hut you find a map, to get in the hut you pay ten lollipops, and to get the cheapest service in the hut you pay 40,000 lollipops.

Ben Brocka

got the swamp

@Ullallulloo oh, wow

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy I made it past all the Fish and Eels, but got owned by the Octopus at the end. :(

I'mma need to grind and eat a bunch of candy I think.

kalina

20:07

@LessPop_MoreFizz skittles

LessPop_MoreFizz

This strategy of offensive upgrades only is not going to do the job.

@kalina TBQH, I'm more of a chocolate person.

Alternately, Reeses Pieces.

kalina

chocolate isn't candy

fredley

Today hasn't been a good day. Time to curl up in front of MLP

LessPop_MoreFizz

Should I eat 250 Candies?

Ullallulloo

kalina

20:08

@fredley when your girlfriend gets back tomorrow, you'll be all like "hey, do you want to watch MLP with me?"

LessPop_MoreFizz

Or save another 250 to buy 10 more lollipops to plant?

fredley

@kalina Yes

kalina

@Ullallulloo you silly american

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've been eating mine.

fredley

What am I doing with all these candies?

Fluttershy

20:09

Like a crazy person.

fredley

I threw some on the ground, what did that acheive?

Ullallulloo

@fredley Conquering everything.

Q: Is there an optimal order to play through?

In Alpha Protocol, after Operation Desert Spear, there are three main mission hubs: operation Blood Feud (Moscow), operation True Heirs (Taipei), and operation Deus Vult (Rome). To avoid spoilers, I know that certain people can help deal with other enemies, certain vendors can be unlocked earlier...

alpha-protocol

fredley

20:09

I have a lollipop

LessPop_MoreFizz

and I can quest in 9 seconds. Let's see if this works.

That only got me like 5 extra HP. What a rip.

fredley

Holy shit, there's a lot of js files

Ullallulloo

I think you get 1 HP for roughly every 18 candies you eat.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Ullallulloo The RoI on candy eating just isn't worth it.

Fluttershy

"You have eaten 1130 candies!"

fredley

20:10

I have found the candiesPerSecond variable though

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy what's your HP?

Ullallulloo

@fredley Making everyone sad.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz 134

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy Because I'm at 132 hp and 400 candies.

Ben Brocka

ugh died just as I killed the last goblin

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:11

@Fluttershy Yeaaaaaah.... it goes up, but the formula stinks.

fredley

I ate all the candies, what did that achieve?

You have 17 candies!
You have 1 lollipop!

You have eaten 111 candies!
You threw 10 candies on the ground

LessPop_MoreFizz

I am investing in lollipops and weapons.

No more eating candy.

Ullallulloo

@fredley Increasing your HP about 6 points.

Fluttershy

I think I'm gonna do the same.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Gonna grind mount goblin for a while.

fredley

20:12

@Ullallulloo I have HP?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley You will once you buy a sword

for 150 candies

fredley

Is a lollipop a sword?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley No.

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz What's a lollipop?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Lollipops are an alternate currency. Once you get enough of them, you can plant them and they will grow on their own.

Fluttershy

20:13

12 mins ago, by Fluttershy

@fbueckert 150 candies gets you your first sword.

Ullallulloo

@fredley A plant.

LessPop_MoreFizz

But that should not be your priority early on.

fredley

Can I get candies faster?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Focus on getting an iron sword. Once you get a lollipop farm key, get enough lollipops to get a decent crop going.

@fredley With a sword you can.

You get candies from quests

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz Console is a better way to get candies

fbueckert

20:14

I'm up to 6 lollipops an hour!

Ullallulloo

@fredley The sorceress can for 300,000 lollipops.

I found boots!

fredley

I found a key

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley Now you have a lollipop farm.

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz So I do

How long is a day?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley Real time

@fredley It's in real time.

Ullallulloo

Yesssss I finally hit seconds on my lollipop farm.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley If you plant more lollipops, the yield will increase until it's lollipops/ hr/min/second

fredley

20:17

I died

LessPop_MoreFizz

UGH. Mount Goblin run with four of the dagger goblins.

Ullallulloo

I just killed a pony in the woods.

SaintWacko

What the hell are you all on?

And can I have some?

fbueckert

Can you find anything in the forest besides candies?

Ben Brocka

what are the berserk potions for?

Powerlord

20:19

@SaintWacko For 120 candies, sure!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@SaintWacko Pins.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert chests with lots of candies and some loot

Ullallulloo

@fbueckert That's where I found my first chest with maps and my key.

I also found boots seperately.

fbueckert

@Ullallulloo I found the key, but that's it.

Guess I keep running it.

fredley

I found maps, but died

SaintWacko

20:20

I am so confused

@LessPop_MoreFizz random chest. was in the forest for me

Ullallulloo

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka NEVERMIND! I just found it on Mount Goblin just now!

Ben Brocka

I'm farming goblins for the daimond sword

fredley

@Ullallulloo Wow...

I don't know what the potions do yet

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Me too. I'm about 300 away.

Ullallulloo

@BenBrocka Berserk increases your attack and speed.

Ben Brocka

fredley

GOBGOBGOBGOBGOB

Ullallulloo

@BenBrocka Not sure how long.

There's a timer before you can use another potion so I don't know.

I died shortly after using it.

fredley

1LP/MIN!

fbueckert

20:27

I have a chocolate bar

SaintWacko

Do you have to have a certain number of lollipops to plant them?

Coronus

@fredley 60 will get you 2/min, I think

Ben Brocka

no, you need a key

quest and you should get it

I think that's how I got it

fredley

@Coronus I'm at 42

Ullallulloo

@SaintWacko Get 150 candy.

Ben Brocka

20:28

I'm at 3/min at 71

Ullallulloo

I'm at 32/sec at 5800.

fredley

2/min threshold is at 54

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:30

DIAMOND SWORD. WHOOOO.

Coronus

Strangest thing I'll say today: I was gonna buy a diamond sword, but I spent it all on lollipops instead.

Ben Brocka

yesss boots

boots AND diamond sword

SaintWacko

Ooh, a chest

fredley

OMG the frog

Frog is op

SaintWacko

two maps!

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:32

@BenBrocka CANDY ENCRUSTED diamond sword.

Fluttershy

Almost got the diamond sword... I'm so far behind. x_x

Ullallulloo

I can't plant lollipops by the tens as fast as they grow.

SaintWacko

What are lollipops for, anyways?

Ben Brocka

wow I am a speed demon with the boots + candy diamond sword

LessPop_MoreFizz

Still got owned in the underwater cave with the candy encrusted diamond sword.

Ullallulloo

20:33

@SaintWacko Spells is the only thing I've seen so far.

Ben Brocka

still gonna die

yeah

Coronus

@SaintWacko Trading with the witch, I think.

Ben Brocka

after finding 550 candies too

Ullallulloo

100 lp/sec threshold is roughly 20,000.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I am at 3 LP/Min. :/

Need to grind more.

Ben Brocka

20:34

Do you see the escape potion option too?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Yeah, I just bought one.

fredley

Yay potions

LessPop_MoreFizz

Lets you bail out of a quest and start a new one without eating a cooldown.

Ben Brocka

thinking escape potion + underwater might be faster than goblins + winning

LessPop_MoreFizz

Doesn't actually let you keep stuff.

Ullallulloo

20:34

The farm caps at 100 lp/sec. :(

fredley

@Ullallulloo :(

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz oh, lame

fredley

I take it klp is 1000 lollipops

Ullallulloo

@fredley yep

fredley

@Ullallulloo bums

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:36

@BenBrocka Goblin Runs are still most profitable.

Ben Brocka

what's the scroll?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka "Acid Rain" on everything including you.

Ullallulloo

Halfway to a spell.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Gonna try it on the underwater cave, but I'm bringing a health potion too.

Which means one more goblin run first.

Powerlord

Does Quest not pop up until you have a certain sword type?

Ullallulloo

20:38

Am I crazy for liking forest runs?

Chests seem just as common there, but no timer.

Ben Brocka

yess another chest

Ullallulloo

And Chests seem like the only thing that matters.

SaintWacko

Aww, finished with the frog :(

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord you have to have a sword, period

Arperum

What have you done? WHy is this thing so addicting?

4

Fluttershy

20:39

@Powerlord It should pop up as soon as you buy the wooden sword.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Owned by Whale at the end of the underwater cave.

Ullallulloo

Plus sometimes you get to kill a pony for an added bonus.

Powerlord

@Fluttershy Derp, I missed that it was a menu item

Ullallulloo

Finally got a diamond sword.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz was thinking of using a berzerk potion on him

did the acid work on everything else?

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:41

@BenBrocka I used the acid right at the start and I mowed through everything pretty fast.

fredley

1lp/s!!!

LessPop_MoreFizz

it's like a free hit on every mob on the map.

Ullallulloo

I bought a spell!

Doubles my natural candy production.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz without acid I mowed through everything fast but took tons of damage

Ullallulloo

My chocolate bar! :(

Ben Brocka

20:42

died like 4 monsters away from the whale

LessPop_MoreFizz

> Use 30 lollipops to make lollipop powder to polish your candy sword and make it awesome (and more powerful)!

Powerlord

Also, what does eating candies do for you?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Well that's a new option.

@Powerlord Increases max HP, but the ROI is really bad.

Coronus

@Powerlord More health

Ben Brocka

Chocolate sword?!

SaintWacko

20:43

Heh, finished goblin mountain with 2hp left

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz do it. Especially if you have a chocolate bar

Ullallulloo

12 damage per hit?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Ullallulloo Forest runs are definitely not optimal.

I average like ~10 candies from a no chest forest run, which takes 20 seconds.

Ben Brocka

@Ullallulloo yes

LessPop_MoreFizz

A goblin run, including the cooldown, takes ~100 seconds, and yields on average ~100 candies.

fredley

20:45

2lp/s!

LessPop_MoreFizz

Twice as efficient.

Ullallulloo

@LessPop_MoreFizz Unless you hit a chest, which is 500 for each, right?

Coronus

@Ullallulloo I see more chests in goblin than forest.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Ullallulloo But the chest rate is the same either way

If anything, goblin chest rate is slightly higher.

Ullallulloo

@LessPop_MoreFizz Forest you get a chance at one every 20 seconds.

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:46

Forest is a good way to burn time if you're waiting on a lollipop or candy yield from the timer to get you over a purchase hump or something, but it's not an optimal way to grind.

fredley

I FOUND A HAT

Ullallulloo

@fredley jelly

Powerlord

@fredley TEAM FORTRESS TIME!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Ullallulloo Rate in forest feels really low. I've been doing runs for a few minutes now to test your claim that it's the same, and I don't think it is.

fredley

@Ullallulloo I also multiplied lolly output by 8

Powerlord

20:47

I got a Kringle Collection in TF2 yesterday from a person using a pile of gifts.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz do you have the chocolate sword?

SaintWacko

Is it just me or does candy accumulation slow down the more you have?

fredley

Sword of Life

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka I do now!

Ben Brocka

at what point did everyone stop eating candies? I ate 1300

Q: How many turns left to construct?

In Civilization IV (G&K), I order my workers to build a road, then cancel so that they only put in one turn's worth of construction. I order them this way then move on to the next tile before actually completing the road. I do this all along the intended path until each intended tile only has one...

civilization-5

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:49

Just got the Whale down to like 10HP, but that cave run had like 5 Eels which burned a lot of my health. I bet I can get it if I roll a better cave.

Ullallulloo

@BenBrocka I stopped pretty low, but started after getting diamond.

2000 now.

LessPop_MoreFizz

But I don't have a health potion this time, so maybe I'll grind some more. :/

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz did you acid rain?

lollipop farm's picking up

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Not that time, no.

Fluttershy

I seem to be stuck on The Frog's 4th question...

fredley

20:50

20lp/s, this is going now

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy has killed everyone's productivity

Powerlord

OK, eating candies gives you health, but what does throwing them on the ground do?

Fluttershy

Happy to help!

LessPop_MoreFizz

Rapidly approaching LP/S levels.

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy Ben and I got all of them if you want help.

Coronus

20:50

@Powerlord Makes the game sad

Ullallulloo

@Powerlord No idea. It seems to just make a sad face. :(

Ben Brocka

awww man, if I had a health pot I could have killed the whale

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy A few of them took a while, but it's definitely not that hard. Just gotta think from an angle because they are dumb riddles.

Ben Brocka

the last one is stupid though

fredley

@BenBrocka I had to use a health pot

LessPop_MoreFizz

20:52

AUGH 59LP/M

Ben Brocka

throwing candies does nothing useful right?

SaintWacko

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think the most time I had to try was twice

And that was just on one question

fredley

Alert: Bridge consumed by upping their lollipop farming rates

Ben Brocka

at 467 you'll get 2 LP/s

If this game tells me to go to Candy Mountain... I'm out
