Am I missing something? As soon as I get to the incubator, the game becomes so slow to progress that it's essentially a standstill.
I've tried resetting a few times when I get to this point, assuming this is just the way to meta-progress, but it doesn't make any difference. I don't see any meta-progression choices that speed up exploration, and there aren't enough resources to scavenge to improve exploration rates.
Seeing as no one else is talking about this, I have to assume I'm big dumb dumb and missed something obvious, please help.
Oh, I disregarded that because it sounded like it was referencing something I didn't have yet.
But now (given the context of your advice, thanks!) I'm realising I misunderstood and it's saying I have that thing equipped. I assumed I didn't as it hasn't made any reference to equipping things like that yet.
Ooh, last section definitely requires a bit of build crafting, especially if you're doing the purple route (unless you max it out). Some hints would be:
- make sure you're completing tasks (bottom right blinky, those give bonus xp)
- the final skill for each stage in the ascension tree is very powerful, and you'll probably need to have one equipped (depending on which route you want to go) and synergize with it to beat the final boss
- final boss activates their skill at 75%; bursting is definitely an option!
