Egg, Inc. PoV – Curiosity

TE count – 1
Monday night Nov 9 (3.5 days later), I reached 50M Integrity eggs and got my first TE. I think this took longer because i let my Silos run out a lot. I prestiged which does not cost a shift but lets me keep the TE. I started out on Curiosity (research) last night with no helpful events. I currently have my hab maxed out with 552 chickens. I am concentrating on research related to egg value, hab capacity, shipping efficiency and I am currently in a good spot.

Virtue Companion is invaluable for this. It lets you see your egg laying rate and shipping capacity. From there, you can nerd out and project how long it will take to ship 1 billion eggs and get TE#2 and TE#3.

Right now I’m projecting to get #3 in 6-ish days if I keep my phone on all night. Reddit thinks I can knock that down to 3.5 days.

I have an autoclicker set up to smack down drones and open boxes from trucks and that helps a lot.

That is what the Autoclicker I use looks like on Android. Each of the little bubbles is a target location for a tap. Every 40 milliseconds it moves to the next one. I put a bunch around the habitat so the taps are concentrated there to knock drones down. It seems to get most of the drones but misses some here and there.

The other 2 targets open the gift boxes and says ok to collect the prize. I have Egg Inc Ultra Pro for this so I don’t get ads and only collect gifts. I also get a permanent 2x earning boost. Yay!

This is the auto clicker app I use on Android. It’s scary because you have to give it some serious access to you device. When I stop using it for a while, I remove all it’s permissions.

At 12:30 today I got TE#2 curiosity 50M. I think Friday I’ll have TE#3

Egg, Inc. – Path of Virtue – Step 1

I play the game Egg Inc (an idle egg farming mobile game). One of the late game things to do is Path of Virtue. I’m writing this down to document what I did. If you don’t play this game, none of this will make any sense (and even if you do it prolly wont).

WHen Path of Virtue came out, I gathered up 23 Eggs of Truth (TE) in a horribly inefficient manner. I decided to restart it and be more efficient so I cna continue later. I want to target >50 TE on the first big push.

I decided to use a strategy to net a bunch of TE using 7 shifts (strategy is laid out on this Reddit post). Additionally there is a method to squeak out 3 eggs at the beginning to start the process off (https://www.reddit.com/r/EggsInc/comments/1nq1orm/alternate_start_for_eggs_of_virtue_to_get_3_eot/).

I’m back dating this post so people can follow along.

Friday morning – Nov 6

There was a 80% off habitat event so I decided to start before the event changed. I reset everything and started out on the Integrity egg (habitat space). Because of the event, I was able to easily build up enough habitat space to max out my shipping. Target was 3-ish days to get 50M eggs delivered and get TE#1.

Routing For Recessed Floating Tremolo

I need to route out the body to accept the Floyd Rose style tremolo.  I’m trying to save money so I’m making my own routing templates.

I want to make this a recessed tremolo so I can lower the pitch and also raise the pitch (pull up on the bar).  This is more complicated and requires extra modificationz.

Lucky for me, the website Project Guitar has a great set of plans for making a set of templates for this.  I redrew their plans using Sketchup and printed them out full size on paper.

I’m making my templates out of some MDF material I had.  After spray gluing the paper templates on to pieces of MDF, I can use my tools to cut them out to the lines.

Two of the easy templates
Lots of dusty fun later

Now it’s time to start making wood chips on that beautiful guitar body!

I covered the body in Frisket film to protect it while I rub wood and power tools all over it.  I laid out the centerline of the guitar and the intonation line and clamped one of the template holders in place.

Now time for some sawdust on the top!

Locating the post holes and routing for the tremolo block
Then comes the rest of the top routing!

Then on to the back side!

This is most of the back routing.

The tele bridge pickup cavity is pretty deep.  I might have to fix that ☹️

It fits!

Next up is routing for the pickups.
