comments for The Gold Factory: Regilded
sort: go back
The iron mine doesn't seem to be working. I've got 100 machines saying I should gain 18 iron per minute, but nothing happens.
developer response: Thank you for reporting this - it seems that the countdown resets whenever you buy an iron mining machine, which is definitely not how it should work. This will be fixed in the next update.
haven't played this game much yet, but it feels quite similar to candy box. seems interesting, will play more
Kudos for revamping an old game!
I hadn't played the original so after finishing this one, I thought I'd give it a try. Wow, those are some really nice QoLs you added! Plenty of places you could work on if you wanted to make this more engaging, I had a few thoughts while playing.
Smaller ideas:
Some kind of separator in the bars/pizzas numbers, even a space would be better than nothing.
Invisibility potions - Need some use beyond the single fight you do once. Perhaps something like a 50% chance for the enemy to miss for a few seconds?
Either rename "poison potion" to "fire potion" or change the effect to a DoT, I wasn't sure they were working until I checked the potion page.
Nerf the gambler's potion. When you have like 1,000 max health it's so much better to use that when you're low instead of a health potion (couple with the invulnerability skill in case you roll badly, then you'll have time to use another potion). Maybe change it to a randomised health potion (e.g. between 1-100 health) or have a chance to gain or lose health (e.g. +200/-50)?
Some more skills? e.g. Berserk - double attack speed for X seconds, Vampirism/Absorption - Heal when attacking/Absorb damage for X seconds...
Is there a ? I never found one if so. Also slightly confused by the point of but it is funny.
Much more involved ideas:
Improve on the Nether section by adding a fortress and the ability to buy a netherite sword/netherite armour (or make it). Could also be a place for different potion ingredients for more types of potions.
A use for the castle after you beat . Maybe you could spend gold and iron bars to renovate various rooms in the castle, which would give you certain bonuses?
Maybe stick with the Minecraft theme a bit more and add The End after the Nether. After The End, you go to and finish with the current ending?
developer response: Thank you for the feedback! I'll take what you said into consideration.
There is indeed a disc, but the way you get it is very strange and near impossible to figure out without looking into the code. It doesn't give you anything useful, though, it's just an easter egg and one of the weird things from the original game.
Don't worry, the price is the same no matter how many machines you buy!
The shopkeeper is lying to me!
developer response: It's meant to say that buying in bulk is the same as buying singles. I should change the wording to be clearer, though.
Potion making is very very bad
developer response: Indeed it is. It's pretty much the final thing from the original game that I haven't touched yet, although improving it is very high on my priority list.
I'm stuck on code 8.
What does pizza do?
@Mullins0713 I think it increases your max health
Armor shop listed price and actual price are mismatch. For example, pants listed cost is (pants)2000+1000 but the actual cost is price=(pantspants)*1000+1000;
developer response: Thank you for reporting this. It should be fixed now. You might need to refresh (or hard refresh) the page before it takes effect, though.
Diamond chestplate's cost is like 3 times its listed price. The helmet's listed price is 7k and I pay 10k. Boots seem to be the correct price, at least.
developer response: This should have been fixed already. Have you tried to hard refresh (ctrl+f5) to get the newest version? Galaxy.click takes a while to update games otherwise, it seems.
cool
need a way to generate iron/gold offline or when not in focus
developer response: It's supposed to generate resources when not in focus, but the interval throttling in new versions of Chrome is making that way more difficult than it should be. I'll try to figure something out.
nice little trip down memory lane.
are the glasses bugged, I picked them up and still cant see things that im not supposed to see?
developer response: The glasses are meant to let you search through the sand. If you can't do this despite having them, let me know.
FYI, if you buy the factory, you cannot decipher anymore afaik. So if you want these rewards, you might as well do them beforehand (or you could just cheat it in later if you missed it).
Code 1: MASTER BRANCH Hint: Num->Letter Reward: 100 gold
Code 2: There is a treasure hidden somewhere, it is located at a secret place in the Pacific Ocean Hint: Caesar Cipher Reward: 250 gold
Code 3: REGILDED Hint: Morse Code Reward: 5 Health Potions
Code 4: In a world full of blocks Hint: Shift every character left one position on the US keyboard Reward: 500 gold
Code 5: the other kind of dots Hint: Braille Reward: 50 iron
Code 6: The plant is famous because of the ability to cure some diseases Hint: Base64 Reward: 750 gold
Code 7: sinnesloschen Hint: Polybius Square Reward: 3 Poison Potions
Code 8: the gold factory was built long time ago, and it is the most famous gold factory in the world Hint: Rail Fence Cipher (I wasn't able to get it to work) Reward: 1000 gold
Code 9: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Hint 1: Base64 Hint 2: Morse Code Hint 3: Caesar Cipher Reward: Instant Cooldown Potion

Much thanks to the original dev for providing a list of these. I don't think I'd ever get code 8 without it.
developer response: Awesome guide! I really appreciate it. I have now changed it so that you can continue to decipher codes even after buying the factory, because having permanently missable content like that didn't feel right to me. I also made the hint for code 8 a bit clearer - you have to do it multiple times.
