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.
