I spent yesterday happily watching my Thermal baby bot getting ready to hatch. One question in my mind was that it would be good to see which three gizmos I had won in the battle arena.
This morning (probably 'cos it's raining and I have to go out to do Meals on Wheels) I threw patience to the wind, and deployed 'Thor' the Thermal bot.
Which three gizmos had I won?
Perhaps it's an indication of the many many days and weeks I had spent trying, as I find I had won not three - but all four of his gizmos!
So he's well equipped for the arena, but also has his 'going out' wardrobe stuffed full.
Hang in there all you still trying for the Thermal. I did wonder if I had been over-optimistic in building his home before breeding successfully, but I notice Dortif is even MORE enthusiastic as he has TWO Thermal zones standing ready for occupants. That REALLY deserves a good result.

Thanks for the speed ups, the 48 was....a 2nd Steam, so going to continue to mix the magic in hopes the Bot Lords see fit to send a Thermal to visit my station.

Cecelia, each bot comes with one gizmo standard. So you had won the remaining three. Know what I mean?
Another 48 hours brewing if anyone is kind enough to speed me up
On a suck-ier note, I have the stuck goals for gifting a friend and deploy a breeder bot It's been stuck for days now. I'll send off an email, but I doubt they'll see it on the weekend.
Sped you up but I think I was just too late for your 48h breeding.
Have a stuck goal for levelling a bot for weeks (noticed game popped up an internal error message, restarted and since that point, this goal was stuck) but left this as all my bots are at level 15 except for 1 level 4 Cupid (which I wanted to keep as such!), have too much robux and food and I can't possibly do the 'build another builder zone' goal as I'm really short on zones at the moment. Please BFS, give us a bot warehouse to store my epics!
No worries, it was a 14 hour timer next anyway which is always good for a speed up
Yeah, I don't mind the builder bot goal so much, it is costing me a lot of robux, but I don't really have much to do with that anyway.
But the crystal goal stinks, as I normally net about 5-7 crystals a day between gifting friends and winning battles
Oh well, hopefully they get back to me soon. I'll have to be a bit more stingy with my use of crystals in the mean time!
I agree 100% about the food. Food is WAY too easy to get in Gizmonauts (and you have nothing to do with it), while it is nearly impossible to get the food you need in Dragonvale to get dragons to level 20.

Food was crazy easy to get in DV as well before they introduced levels above 10. Higher bot levels are only a pseudo shrine away.
Any tricks to make money it and xp are the hardest things for me but now doing battle arena xp not to bad but money for food and everything else is a killer any ideas would be great

Abuse the goals. Sell off your builder bots, and you will repeatedly get the deploy a builder bot goal (provided you have one of every bot).
At the top level, this can net you $1.5-$2m robux every 2 hours.
The other easy one to abuse is the 'Build a large builder zone'. Provided you have 2 of every other zone (I make sure I have three, then I can build my zone in advance), you can repeatedly rebuild your builder zone. Make sure you only have one builder zone in your park.
Repeating these two goals every 2 hours can net you an insane amount of robux and exp. I got to level 50 very quickly, and once at level 50, it nets you about $30m robux daily.
The battle arena only nets you $500K per battle, and that's assuming you win. Nowhere near as good as the goals.
PS. I wouldn't actually buy any food, you really don't have to. The amount you get from the goals as rewards is plenty enough.

Having lots of friends whom you visit daily also helps.

My stuck goals have been resolved - I can finally start collecting crystals again. Cost me about 30 odd crystals unfortunately :/
Also, I have decided to collect data for at least 500 (maybe 1000) breeding attempts at thermal. I suspect that it might have a higher %age than Astro, as I've noticed so many thermals all over the place, but not many astros, despite that it should be an equal probability for both.
Considering they earn more, I would think Astros would be like rainbows, whereas Steam and Thermal would be more like Sun/Moon.
I might do about 500 tries with Grinder + Solar after as well, if I don't already have too many epics by then!
No Astro in about 500 breeding attempts now

This seems a reasonable analogy. Can't wait to see the results.
I've seen so many outposts with 2 thermals incubating at the same time, some with 3 and amazingly, I've even seen one with 4.
It is very rare to even see a single outpost with 2 astros incubating at the same time.
So it does seem that thermals are much more likely than astros.
What throws me though, is that when I was going for Steam, I got FIVE astros before I got my first steam (although I did promptly get 3 consecutive steams after that). Still, even if it is 3% steam and 1% astro, this is still not THAT unlikely to happen. (It is also worth mentioning that I haven't gotten a single Astro ever since!!)
Anecdotally, from looking at other people's outposts, I'm definitely leaning towards 3% for steam and thermal and 1% for astro.
Once I'm up to 500 (or 1000) breeding attempst for thermal + astro, if it is fairly conclusive by then, I'll stop.
If not, I'll go the thermal + steam + astro combo, but not so keen on this as there are so many long fails

I was out visiting my friends this morning and saw several with 48 hr breed times. Congrats to all you who just got their master bots and to those who are going to! I have been in a slump these days and haven't been breeding well. I am hoping my bots will cheer up and get me some 48 hr breeds. I would like another astro or thermal. I like them better than steam.

Is anyone online right now, in the UK, who might be willing to help me with something completely unrelated to the game? PM me or email me at lordelohim@aol.com.

Could hardly believe my eyes this morning, when I sold off all the overnight bots from the baby bot station and put in my first rotating pair for the day - grinder/microscope. WOW! A 48 hr!
I wish I could remember which pair gave me my first Thermal, but anyway, I'm hoping for a second Thermal.
If anyone is awake I'd be really grateful for a speed up, and I won't begin to build the new zone until I see what it is.
Now I'm popping over to dortif's outpost to see if he has had any of this current good fortune.

You are down to 13 hrs now. This is like Christmas morning waiting for you to open your gift. Hope you get what you want!

I dropped by and dropped your time as well, but I don't know by how much. It said you were now down to 13 hours, but Pixie got that first, so my guess is I really dropped you down to about 10 hours. I am eager to hear what you end up with.
