'kotlovina' (picture)

its a soupy grill, to explain it easily. meat and stuff is being grilled in the soup, and then you have to put it on sides of the big grill table like on the picture, to finish it off and give it a grill touch.
chicken breast on the grill is normally always dry. as well as a lot of other meat. with 'kotlovina', it wont be dry and its better then any grill. made in balkan.
apart from that, i prefer smoker grills. or earth grills.

earth grilling/cooking means the following. you dig a hole. you set some fire. a lot of fire. later on you get hot coal. you put that coal in the hole. the meat and all the other stuff as potatoes and co. are being wrapped up in alu-foil and put onto the hot coal. you cover/put back the hole with earth so that the hole is closed entirely. then you let it cook some time. later on you dig it up again, and take out your best dinner ever.

best dinner ever. its like an oven, but natural. the most natural and healthy meat ever.

barchef at your service. i have gotten little fat during the years... a man with a good belly has a good wife cooking at home... that is what we say in Croatia.

oGame has been a 2nd class game for a few years now so don't get your hopes up on anything coming out soon, if at all :p
it would be nice though, and its hardly 'much' effort, seeing that other browser games have easy android support.

i know. it was a surprise trip. our employer organized the vacation for us for free but the destination itself was a surprise. but don't worry, i am back in Vienna around NW. going to visit Bratislava for 5 nights, and i will do a day trip to Vienna, because Vienna... its simply the most epic city of all that i have been to.

pictures are in the attachments...
the one where i am alone, that's in Split in Croatia. i was there with my girlfriend for a couple of days to hang out and relax.
the other two pictures are taken in Vienna, in Austria, with some friends. relaxing and sightseeing.
been travelling a bit lately

not sure if i should be surprised to see a lot of familiar faces still roaming around here. some still green, some dropped the green. i am of the opinion that you are wasting your time here because life is too damn hilarious t waste it here, which i swiftly learned after taking the step back from this game and the community.

one way or anther, to each their own so happy birthday to the community from me

just stopping by to say hello.

my girl and me. a smile tells more then a thousand words. which means i am generally happy with my life.

and that's it. see you in a few months :p

i have done the opposite. i assisted a mate of mine and we ACS'd some dude. i attacked the dude with 30k LCs and we both made a super advanced with it

I clicked it on - saw it was 15mins long and clicked off>_>

i noticed your post - realized how it is clearly spam - but i wont warn you.
:p
give better input next time...

good idea... a bit funny though, considering that you try to give advice whilst you don't have a clue about the game itself either
keep it up and enjoy the game.

metal mine level 40... 8 more to go, sigh xD

your labs are actually pretty low... upping them will benefit you greatly and its more cost efficient at this point then doing another level of IRN. up your labs, and later on do another level of IRN... in that order.

what's the speed of your universe?

but regardless of the speed of the universe, you should build some fleet if it is your desire to grow into a big fleeter one day. you can make a little or medium sized raiding party and generate income from inactive and active but profitable players.

but first go up to 9 planets. your mines can easily support that.

as your mines grow, metal mines will slowly become much larger then crystal mines. i am in a triple speed universe, and my crystal mines are at level 32, whereas my metal mines are being at level 40 (3:2:1 ratio when trading so metal mine gives the best amortization (synthesizers are at level 36)). you need tons of metal... end of. you need metal for ships, you need metal for more mines.

google o-calc and play with it... there is an amortization calculator that will tell you which mine is the next best to build. a super efficient mine ratio is only possible at the late game, when your metal mines become so large that you basically don't need to trade for metal at all. at early stages of the game, and mid-game where you are currently at, mine ratios are not too far apart, and you don't get a good ratio for whatever you do.

but first of all, pop a new planet. you have 7 planets at 30/26/xx? i hope that's a joke. you should have 9 planets easily by now. why are synthesizers marked as xx? don't underestimate the value of synthesizers. in end game, synthesizers also grow larger then crystal mines if you follow the amortization rule. that combined with, for example, a colder planet, will give you a planet that makes more deuterium then crystal. for me, the difference between a slot 8 and a slot 12 planet, is 600k deuterium per day. colder planets magnify the deuterium output greatly, and those few extra satellites are no real issue. anyone claiming the opposite is a noob. 200 fields is enough even for the longest run... go for cold planets if you can... slots 10, 11 and 12. recolonize.

as a miner, all the above described is perfect. but it fits your bill as a fleeter too. fleeters that neglect high level mines and proper mine ratios are bad fleeters. everyone needs a good account structure.

miners and research. always a tricky topic. or not.

as a miner, there is only 2 researches that are of utmost priority. that is plasma technology and astrophysics. the first alters the resource output of your metal and crystal mines, the other gives you ability to colonize more planets. all the other technologies can be more or less ignored for the most part.

now, i am sure you wont play that hardcore and you obviously want your technology page to look decent. as a miner, you want a good level of espionage (14 is a good goal), you can i am for level 15/16 for your WAS technologies, your combustion drive is important for your cargo ships.

my account is 3 years old now, 43million points, and it has:
espionage 14.
WAS all at 16.
combustion 16.
plasma 16.
12 planets.

this is basically all you need looking long term, so whenever you can, work slowly towards something like this. plasma and astrophysics come always first though. i only do other technologies when i have a surplus of resources. i would never choose a technology rather then to build a new level of a mine. but that's up to you.

in speed universes, everything that is related to time is magnified by the speed value of the universe.
travel times, construction as well as production times are altered, and of course the output of your mines and synthesizers. the cost for everything to build remains like usual.

apart from that, there can be other modifiers like the one that IMNVS mentioned, which is 40% for debris fields for Quantum, which is normally 30% as a standard setting.

i see Pluto has a new girlfriend... damn nice girl man!

nope.

if you are getting mass-spam messages, or insults and such alike, you can report the messages though.

all 12 planets have 38/32/35... triple speed. one metal mine 39, another one on the go.
