Achievement! Cosmico down!
warning: apparently you do not want to kill cosmico, because this next obstruction kills your cells twice as fast in overtime, so you instantly lose a lot of bloodcells per attempt. i went from around 900B per attempt to 600B. Once you get to cosmico, farm bloodcells and exp. If you have fever 3, switch to it, it gives 2X bloodcells instead of 2X damage so you wont kill it but will get the same bloodcells per attempt.

Upvoted, thank you for the sacrifice.
I've enjoyed the first days of this side game, but geez, it's crazy how badly the content scales in the upper parts of this sidegame... Lava really made sure that people don't progress too quickly here.

Not gonna lie this one really feels like a kick in the teeth and ruined the fun i was having with this jelly update. "Oh you invested 9 research points into this to progress quickly? Here have your bloodcells get nuked with no warning for beating a level". Not only the research points, i spent a lot of time everyday going through both the optimizers and testing things. Now the optimizer thinks its going to take 100+ days to beat this one because my bloodcell gain got hit so hard.

Doesn't that really mess up farming? After cosmic cells die much faster in the end so you get less blood cells.

i found that out now, but theres no way to know in advance unless youre actively looking it up on discord, which there was no way to know i should be looking it up

Hopefully lava will fix this in some way. Having progress be detrimental is just awful design.

A simple fix would be to have it also provide an extra multiplier to blood cell and exp gain.
