Egg, Inc – PoV – Free EoT

Early this morning I got TE#3 and prestiged.

So now I can start back on the Path of Virtue with 3 TE and zero shifts!

I’m going to loosely follow this process on Reddit except I will camp longer and have some patience to collect as many as I can for the next time I prestige.

Right now I am back on Curiosity doing research, but trying to get as much as I can.  I need to get my egg laying rate up, unlock trucks, and get my hab capacity up.  I’m hoping for a research discount later today (Friday).

Egg, Inc. – PoV Curiosity TE#3 update

Today’s even was 4x drone rewards and is really helped (along with autoclicker). I was able to get a ton of common research done related to egg laying rate, shipping rate, and hab space. I have all the hab space and egg laying rate stuff done up through tier 7. I also did enough research to get my shipping rate higher than my egg laying rate.

The next place I could get some egg laying rate is in tier 8, but I need 115 more researches and that does not seem doable or something I want to do. It would probably mean grinding a lot more research and maybe shave a couple hours. Right now my egg laying rate is 16.87M per hour and my shipping capacity is 18.09M per hour. Virtue Companion is projecting I will get TE#3 just after midnight on Friday morning (about 41 hours from now). The Reddit post says #2 and #3 should take about 3.5 days (if you smash drones and keep your silo filled) and that is what I am seeing too.

So now it’s time to wait and keep checking in to keep my 3 hour silo filled. I set up a series of tasks on my calendar that pop off every 3 hours to remind me to check in. I’ll keep my phone on at night while I’m sleeping. I have the game set up in low quality with sparkles turned off and my phone stays cool.

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.
