Wormhole Strategy Thread

༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ PRAISE GOLD HELM༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノAll Hail the Spice Lordヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ

##The Game lasts to 9AM PST on the 22nd July.##

Let us hold a moment of silence for our fallen comrades, brave rooms 47090 and 48274. They fought with great courage in the face of many trolls before their reset. They will not be forgotten.

“I must not be trolled. Trolls are the mind-killer. Trolls are the little-death that bring nuclear obliteration. I will face the trolls. I will permit them to to pass over the rooms and through the rooms. And when they have left I will enter the wormhole to follow its path. When the trolls are gone there will be nothing. Only Gold Helm, Lord of Spice, will remain.”

Strategy

By now most of you will know the drill. The final reset is soon upon us, and we've got a ♥♥♥♥ ton of wormholes to spam before this is all over. So delete your scripts, fire up the extension on chrome (see below), and wait in the lobby. See you on the other side brothers, it's been an honour. If you've just joined us, read the rest of this guide. Praise Goldhelm.

  • Using the extension, we are all going to join a room at once. Just wait on the lobby page, and the script will do everything else for you. Read on if you want to know the strategy behind this.

  • Our overall strategy is now entirely reliant upon wormholes. You need the chrome extension, developed by wchill and other collaborators, to properly use this strategy.

  • Our objective is to use the maximum possible number of wormholes on the boss levels with multiples of 100, because they give us the biggest jumps (10 levels per wormhole rather than one). If we kill the boss, then that's less time to do wormholes, and we don't get as far. The extension using Like New allows us to reset the cooldown on wormholes, letting us use an effectively unlimited amount. On these bosses, clicking and abilities are disabled by the script, making the bosses take a huge amount of time to die - sometimes over 15 minutes! The longer they take to die, the more time to use wormholes, the bigger the jump. Whatever you do, don't try and 'help' by trying to kill this boss quicker!

  • In a perfect game, the extension would use everybody's wormholes on one of these bosses, only killing the boss once no more were being used. We then jump several million levels at once, doing this until we reach level 100 Million (the max level). Once we've managed this, people move to a new room to help others do the same. This works because badge points are based upon the highest level you have reached. Tens of million level jumps have been proven possible by the record breaking rooms on Day 8, so there is no reason why everyone can't be doing it on Day 9!

  • It is crucially important that you do not intervene manually in any way whatsoever. The extension knows what its doing. If you use any abilities, then we kill the boss too quickly and wormholes go unused - in turn, we don't get as far. Equally, using one of the out of date scripts is just as bad because it uses the old strategy, and will kill the boss just the same as manual intervention. Check below for how to use the extension.

Objectives

  • Thanks to the wormhole strategy, our primary objective is to get everyone participating to the highest badge level possible - the 100M badge. Many players have already achieved this; in the coming days, the objective will be to get as many people as possible this badge with their huge number of accumulated wormholes. If you've already got the badge, please stick around and help the rest of us out!

Badge Points
  • Obviously, as this strategy is based entirely around wormholes, having lots of wormholes is crucial. Equally, some Like New's are essential. So buy those. The correct ratio is 25:1, so for every 1000 WH 40LN CRITICAL: Due to script changes, a ratio of between 10:1 and 5:1 of WH to LN is now optimal. The more badge points you have, the more you should spend on LN. Any leftovers should go on treasure and raining gold. Use the x100, x10 buttons to spend your points more quickly.

  • You used to have to do this manually. The extension now does almost all the buying for you. Praise wchill! Use any leftover points on Treasure and Raining Gold.

Extension / Scripts

  • Firstly, if you are still using any scripts, you need to update to the Chrome extension. Sorry Firefox users but there is not an extension available. If you use Firefox, just install Chrome only for the game, then remove it later if you really don't want it. There are many benefits to the extension - it auto-updates safely, and it runs more reliably. No reason to use scripts any more.

  • Make sure you disable and remove all the old scripts in Tampermonkey before using the extension! If you do not it'll break everything!

  • The extension is available on github here.[github.com]

  • There is a video guide to installing the extension on youtube here, another video guide available here and another guide here for how to install. It's pretty easy, you just unzip the file, enable extension developer mode in chrome, and point it to the extracted folder.

There's already something planned for today I believe. Not sure if it's done yet though. It will be really good.

Great stuff mate! > added to my "Steam Monster minigame unofficial FAQ!" @ http://pastebin.com/D7MtMKdH

You need to kill boss at this "several million level" for Steam to check that you reach it.
And if you jump from 100 to 10kk level - all of you'll be dead instantly.
Deses 17 Jun, 2015 @ 7:23am 
Everyone should read this and follow the strategy to the letter.
sharrken 17 Jun, 2015 @ 7:26am 
@Howru: The significant amounts of gold generated by the jump (50k per level) would mitigate any issues with this. Yes, large health upgrades would have to be bought once we get there, but there will be more than enough to do it. In any likelihood the perfect game will not occur, and the huge jumps will be in the 1K + level region, when we already have significant upgrades/gold reserves.

If the point of this strat is to exhaust all our WHs on -100 boss levels, why would you use an autobuy script that focuses on DPS/DPC ? Did I miss something ?
sharrken 17 Jun, 2015 @ 7:39am 
The Auto-Upgrade script linked is a fork by Pawsed optimized for this strat with no autodps upgrades and no elemental upgrades. The DPC upgrades are still useful to actually get us to warp boss levels, and obviously health upgrades are useful to keep us alive long enough to use the wormholes. I'm going to update to explain that a 'perfect game' is unlikely to happen and large jumps will likely occur past level 1K due to increased boss health.
Uncle Taco 17 Jun, 2015 @ 8:36am 
I am not seeing the autobuy script for the powerups x1 and x100 buttons

Should there be any error messages and you have done exactly as shown in the video/tutorial the error is most likely due to the rush on steams servers. We cannot provide technical support for your joining while we are looking for the rooms, so whispers will be ignored at that time!
ErsatzDeath: !script
Nightbot: wchills: https://github.com/wchill/steamSummerMinigame autobuy: https://github.com/Pawsed/SteamMonsterAutoUpgradeManager/
Minz_Live: Both of the above scripts work together, whcills script alone will not autobuy. Pawseds however will add that funtionality
Trouvist: http://steamga.me/
Trouvist: if you are out of WH reenable your auto clicker, if you are using the newest versions of wchill, keep autoclicker on
Minz_Live: Errors may appear even if you actually join the room but you don't know it. Refreshing the page may be advised to see if you're in.
Minz_Live: Unless it gets nerfed, we will be using the wormhole strategy
Minz_Live: In the case of a nerf we'll update you on which strategy to use
Minz_Live: we will likn an explanation to the wormhole strategy soon as well
Minz_Live: Using the SteamDB script for our strategy is not recommended anymore since its abilities are not coordinated with the wchill script
Trouvist: if you have tampermonkey installed, and want the auto upgrader to work, go to https://github.com/Pawsed/SteamMonsterAutoUpgradeManager/ click on the .js file, click "raw" and lcick "install" or "update"
Trouvist: however, the goal of today is to get every room to 300k
Trouvist: thats the primary goal
Trouvist: after that, we can focus on getting even higher
Trouvist: but if everyone starts the main runs from 300k, we have plkenty of WH to work with, and no one will be butthurt about missing out on their 300k badge
Trouvist: so dont be dickheads
Trouvist: yesterday, i personally was in a game which reached 300k 8 times
ErsatzDeath: We're going to be trying our best to get the community as a whole to 300k.
Trouvist: instead of spending those hours going for 5M, like i mathematically could have, i and the rest of the mods here went for getting everyone up to 300k
Trouvist: so please, relax and realize the first rooms are not the last rooms
Trouvist: 24 hours ago the record was 45k
Trouvist: 6 hours later it was 100k
Trouvist: now its more than 2M
Minz_Live: WORMHOLE STRATEGY : http://pastebin.com/gQrT3D71 (unless changed after reset)
Trouvist: also, here's my tirade please read the motivational speech
Trouvist: whcih explains everything
Trouvist: iafter reading minz, if you want entertainment, i need more fanbois and fangurls http://pastebin.com/sK8A33wZ
Note by me: Here is said raw link for autoupgrade (or does it break with direct link to raw for others)? You can import this through the options tab in TamperMonkey:

The powerups x1 and x100 buttons come from the wchill script, if it is not up to date then you will not see them.
Zunnoab #931 17 Jun, 2015 @ 8:44am 
What came in the middle of chat about how much a certain person knows about this is endlessly amusing and will not be added to my quote.

It seems I'm not allowed to edit the other message anymore:
Trouvist: everyone note, when we hit 300k yesterday, it was 7 hours into the day where we restarted and did it in 1:02 minutes, so please, realx, you'll get your top badge today, there is no badge after it, and you'll have plenty of time
wchill: Hell you'll get your 300k in less than an hour
wchill: we got 300k in WH4 in 30 minutes
wchill: even with the relative lack of coordination
Trouvist: use autobuyer and wchill script together
Minz_Live: I'm a little confused on the strategy. At no point we're investing in damage? >> No we are not investing much into damage, If all scripts are properly updated and there is no nerf to wormholes, we will progress almost on wormholes alone
Trouvist: they are compatible
Minz_Live: If that's the case, what do we do with our gold? >> I headr Yoga classes could get pretty expensive
Pawsed: THIS MEANS DISABLE 'MY' MOD
Trouvist: everyone messaging me about what the autobuyer does, i know precisely what it does, i worked with the guy who wrote it, so damnit trust us that it does the right thing
Trouvist: if you know what you're doing, you dont need the autobuyer, if you dont know what you're doing use the autobuyer and dont touch the mouse for free levels!
Pawsed: no autoupgrades. if youve got my mod on, turn it the F off
Pawsed: Screw it, ill rush an update that only does HP
Minz_Live: when we the server resets, do we have to "join" rooms or do we come back into the one we are already in? >> You will get a new room ID. The first rooms will fill rather quickly but with the wormhole strategy we should easily be able to boost any room to 300k
Trouvist: autoclicker should be on if you're using wchill
Trouvist: autobuyer just buys your health and luck for you
Minz_Live: Are there really enough wormholes to get this done though? Relying on limited ammo won't let us fall behind? What if steam releases newer tiers for damage? >> 30 000 Wormholes in one game are sufficient to catapult a game above 300k IF used correctly
Trouvist: everyone please stop telling me what the scripts do, i helped write them
Trouvist: here's a link to the script for the autobuyer
Trouvist: https://github.com/Pawsed/SteamMonsterAutoUpgradeManager/
Trouvist: install this autobuyer alongside wchill script
ErsatzDeath: Okay guys, it's waiting time. It usually takes about 10-20 minutes for steam to reset the game.
ErsatzDeath: Additionally, after that we scan for a room that doesn't fill very fast so we can get as many of you in as possible.
Minz_Live: for those of us already well over 300k, what's the goal for today? >> In a First stage helping other rooms get above 300k as well, after that you are free to either boost other rooms or come up with strategies and higscores
Trouvist: https://github.com/Pawsed/SteamMonsterAutoUpgradeManager/ auto buyer link
Trouvist: to use that, click on the .js, click "raw", and click "update or insteall" if you have tampermonkey, if you dont have tampermonkey, install it
Trouvist: use this autobuyer with wchills
Trouvist: steamdb already has one, but steamdb isnt as efficient as wchills for WH strat
Trouvist: latest script for wchill is 4.6.3
Minz_Live: We will be waiting for a few minutes now for the random player rush to die off, please remain patient

Okay things got confusing, but looks like Pawsed is pushing an update to resolve the upgrade confusion.

Certainly was... However, increasing click damage would never have done any harm, would just have been a waste of gold that would be better spent on health. But Pawsed's upgrade should sort everything like you say.
Zunnoab #931 17 Jun, 2015 @ 9:04am 
I think they were saying they may change it again at some point after the "mass to 300k for tons of people" push, but not sure.

Edit: The chat has been mostly just "please wait, looking for rooms, might take time," and the repeat of some important information so I've stopped mass editing in the chat log in the quote.

I'm only trying to help by copying this... it may change at any time, so others should probably put important info here if it comes up I'd think.

Edit:
Minz_Live: The script is not yet buying the new tiers, an update for that will be released after the jumps

Edit: I started at like 12:30ish CDT not 2AM, but it was still impressive.

Ok, so...

Use wchill + pawsed scripts.
Have autoclicker on.
Pawsed's script might waste some money on useless upgrades until the new fix comes out.

Otherwise, all good.

Right?

The autoupgrade script is wasting huge amounts of gold right now. All it seems to do is upgrade armor based on the price of the upgrade, not taking into account efficiency at all. I've turned it off for now.
