    A speed up that just speeds up the game until your towers start shooting would be better than a full-game speed up I feel.

    Since the score is the sum of all beaten waves numbers, you could use that to know how much houses could earn, with 1035 being the end score for wave 45.

    Hey, thanks for playing my mods! You and Reto were the ones who got me to buy the game in the first place lol.
    I've just released an update to fix the buttons being placed a bit weirdly depending on UI scaling (they're meant to be much closer together and near the top) and some other minor issues.
    Let me know if there's a mod you'd like to see, or any improvements to the current ones!

      The mods are available on Thunderstore: rogue-tower.thunderstore.io/
      r2modman (pinned on the thunderstore page) is recommended since it installs BepInEx for you, lets you do mod profiles, launch un-modded easier, and download mods with all the dependencies easily.

    I feel you on being such a light sleeper. I laugh at movies where the parents open a bedroom door and check on their kids sleeping, because that's *such* an immersion breaker for me. There's absolutely no way I'd have slept through that.

      Dang I’ve slept through a gunfight between cops and my neighbors before with my parents crawling on the sofa that I was sleeping on. I have a hard time falling asleep but when I do I might as well be dead because you aren’t waking me up till my body is ready

    Because it keeps being mentioned in the videos; Houses do grant a lot of income. I get them surrounded asap and at the end of the game they make up 21% of my total income. Thats without any other perks (bonus gold on kill). Its not just a one gold increment, you can see how much each house will give you next wave, and it very quickly ramps up to more then the cost of a ballista.

    • @sinfthedruid5153
      @sinfthedruid5153 Před 2 lety

      Of that 21%, about 8% goes to repaying for the investment. It's still decent income but it's at the cost of tower positioning. Doing it at the start makes your early run very dangerous. Do a few of the double house placements and come back for the rest on like wave 10 or later. They aren't worth the investment til late game anyway so missing out on like 1k is nothing compared to the 30k or so you'll still make over the run. It's an early game trap and a potential run killer on double and triple lane runs to invest in them early. Make sure to use near death so you don't die to spawners like wander :)

  • @kingzero3098

    I do enjoy the Increlution thumbnails yes. That respec mod sounds like it needs to become part of the base game lol it makes for a much more interesting replay meta.
    That warp speed mod too. That's just fun.

  • @Fearabbit
    @Fearabbit Před 2 lety

    It's quite easy to calculate the cost efficiency of placing ballistas near houses using the Gauss sum for the numbers 1 to n, which is simply n*(n+1)/2.
    For n = 45, the maximum a ballista placed next to a house will earn you is 1035 gold. This would be your earnings for each ballista placed before wave 1. Now if you want to know how much you get if you build them later, you simply have to subtract the Gauss sum from 1 to n where n is the wave before building the ballista. So if the first time you get money from a ballista is wave 15 (the first big Oogie), then you sum 1+2+...+14 = 14*(14+1)/2 = 105, i.e. a ballista placed right before wave 15 still gives you 930 gold. Barely a difference to the 1035 gold, and waiting allows you to place ballistas where you really need them.
    So in conclusion, it makes sense to relax and wait in the beginning and only place ballistas that are useful. However, by wave 20 or so, most ballista slots should be filled, because they ARE quite efficient over time. I feel that the houses are much more efficient than the haunted houses, but I have not done the calculations for this.

  • @TypeZeta2
    @TypeZeta2 Před 2 lety +3

    I actually got this game because of you wander. It’s safe to say I’m hopelessly addicted and finally beat wave 45 on single lane with ballistas, radar, and poison throwers and still working on Dual lane defense.

  • @princevirgil1190
    @princevirgil1190 Před 2 lety

    Wanderbots, getting the early houses is worth it. A single tower on a house will earn 1035 gold over 45 rounds, and the tower costs between 200-300, earning over 700 gold in profit, though it drops off the later you out down the towers

  • @gotyouchip1179
    @gotyouchip1179 Před 2 lety +4

    The houses should start paying themselves off just after round 18 as that brings it to 145 in total per ballista (if I did my math right, I didn't check with a calculator) and after that it will only get faster so I'd say it's pretty worth it if you are planning to place down ballistas anyways. It's of course up to each player though and it might be miniscule in effect anyways. I'm probably also completely wrong and there's probably something I'm missing.

    • @saskatcree1
      @saskatcree1 Před 2 lety

      Did you factor in that some ballistas can guard two houses at the same time as well? I always think they pay for them selves very fast. Been re rolling a lot for these achievements and I really notice the lack of towers everytime w/o the early houses

    • @Fearabbit
      @Fearabbit Před 2 lety

      @@saskatcree1 There's a maximum of three ballistas that can guard two houses at the same time, if I'm not mistaken - all three around the main tower. Those are definitely worth it, but it's a really special case.

    • @saskatcree1
      @saskatcree1 Před 2 lety +1

      @@Fearabbit Looking at a picture there is 7 spots where Ballistas can double up on max house spawns. So out of 15 Ballistas that you can place down 7 of them are double dipping.
      Edit: Just did the math and the initial 15 pay for them selves at round 12. Since 7 of them are double dipping. You're getting 22 ballista worth every round.

    It was very funny to me when you started talking about people falling asleep to your videos, because I was literally watching your video to help fall asleep, unfortunately the hilarity of that coincidence made it a bit hard for me to fall asleep at the time, but the enjoyment of the coincidence more than made up for the slight loss of sleep.

  • @matthewwhitt9929
    @matthewwhitt9929 Před 2 lety +1

    I heard you talk about how towers on houses weren't really worth it after all, so I ran the math and I still feel they are worth it. Basically from round 1 to the end a single tower on a house will produce 1035 gold (and multiple towers are just multiples of that number). Of course, if you miss the first few rounds you'll miss a few gold but not to much before round 10. The math is real but the opinion is mine. I enjoy your commentary and play style. Thanks for the content.

    i haven't been keeping up to date but a thought came to mind hearing the opening conversations and I thought id ask, would the Mana Banks count towards the money return of Houses? you are going to put them down anyways and they aren't effected by distances or heights so they don't hurt to be thrown on any tile.
    I think you said before that they only benefit from defensive towers, but I thought i'd ask if it would hurt to see if that would change things. If it does, nice, slightly offsets the damage to your economy you were already paying out, if not, now we know lol
    also, super hoping to get HZD myself, so freaking excited lol

    Hey I really think houses are worth it. Even though they do not pay themselves back really. The sub prime spots of the houses most of the time isn’t that bad. In reality what it means that you will own X amount of balistae upon houses which are at altitude 0 instead of altitude 3 or 2 which is only equal to 2 or so levels of base dmg but instead of those extra base levels you get a bunch of money (about 1k per balistae per game).
