7 D?!?!? 7-DIMENSIONAL!?!?!?!?

I have a hard enough time just rotating a SINGLE FACE of the 4-dimensional version back into position. (I can solve a physical 3-d cube just fine, though).

personally, I make all my homes underground. it takes more torches, but it makes for a safer time.

...

*headbang*

If you're trying to get iron quickly, you'll want to find a reasonably deep cave system. you just have to avoid getting lost.

If you want the rare stuff (diamonds etc), then dig a simple 45 degree staircase ALL the way to the bottom, and set up a strip mining system from there. ...

I just need to find 12 blocks of lava...i have 1 so far. :(.

my underground base is very, very simple: a 45 degree starway all the way to the bottom. there is a main chamber where I grow a tree. I then build pinwheel mining shafts off of it. oh, and I grow weat (and a few sugarcane) in the north main tunnel, have a chicken coop + lotsa storage in the sout...

sit in the bed for 10 seconds...LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

@cody40994 it would have to be more like coal+coal+coal+furnace+piston+(seed diamond?)+lava bucket+lava bucket+ lava bucket...

ah, didn't see a drone right next to the dirt.

instead of building a blaster, i collect exactly ONE of the bunkers...then build 3 nullifiers to make sure the portals get taken out. then i pause, pre-dig everything i'll want to dig, collect more bunkers, and drill up on the left.

your digging is horribly wastefull of space.

er...why didn't you collect the gem early on?

interesting...

...ok, why didn't you upgrade your natural gas plant at the first possible opportunity? you'd have reduced smog AND boosted energy output.

I found that it's best to build the metal mines first. Also, if you build nuclear power, and only nuclear power, you can wind up with no smog by the end of day 1, though you get dinged on the nuclear waste in temrs of points.

@devarkk the irony is....math is actually abstract, rather than concrete.

I guess the distinction between "absolute" and "concrete" escaped the kid....not that I can blame him. English is a rather haphazard language, after all.

that may have been a tiny bit hasty.

still....what's your understanding of things like limit(x to 0) {sinx/x}?

@miatthas

yes. it is called tune-ing. :S

never trust the casual creeper world player when they say it's a hard map.

casual player may think "the bowl" is hard. *starts coughing*

at 022...clever. i'd have simply stuck a pair of relays in.

...this level gives "expert round" a run for it's money.

@20Xav

a klingon dish called "gagh" would happen :S

...

funny!

...but i'll pass; habanero's are hot enough, thank-you-very-much!

,..you don't need THAT many drones targeting the center...

did it in 10:11. i didn't use drones.

I builT off of the corners of the city, and built my blasters a little sooner than you did. also, once i get to the point where i was actually starting to expand the field, i built extra blasters around to make sure the creeper didn't spill onto my collectors.

bounce a single beam around using mirrors to form a box for the price of 1 dark beam.

you suicided a blaster at 0:40 or so.

and this isn't a level that really needs a walkethrough, per se.

@SuperMrTheguy

i did that. it completely messed the plot up, since i didn't even grab the tech before charging the totems...wound up moving odin city onto the blackhole for lols.

@ontheworld1

blasters actually work very well on deep creeper...IF they have line-of-sight on the deep creeper, as they do here.

@dreske3

for some reason, people are getting this confused with minecraft.

I had the pylons charge up in parrallel, rather than in series, so they all finished charging within a wave of eachother.

you didn't set the waves to armored for a very cheap boost to score?

IT"S ALIVE!!!

...but it has a "minor" (ok, major) infinite mana bug that is easy to recreate. I've sent gameinabottle a message through kongregate whispers, but if anyone can send him a message some other way...

@RecorderAlex

...I get 1 bill by wave 20 on the final level, every time. it's the trillion+ scores that take weeks of play to get.

p.s. i've actually had to set gemcraft down myself.

your skill level in this video is about what i had on my first 1-2 attempts at all 228 waves.

though, I usually get 1 bill score by wave 20, and 100 bill score.

make an inventory of gems, use the bulk combining2-3 times, then fill back up with grade 6, bulk-combine 1-2, then fill with grade 6,...
