Also on offense: hitting a turret with a shovel forces it to do a 360 degree clockwise shooting animation: you couldve hit the turret and hopped down. As for getting back up, you could just jump on the railing and exit the door instead of passing the turret. Niche knowledge, but it coulda helped ya
I know that you know how hard the Solo Ironman challenge is, but I like math and want to share it. So, here are some numbers. For the relevant profit quotas, the averages are as follows. quota 1: $130 (always, obviously) quota 2: $236.25 quota 3: $361.25 quota 4: $517.50 For reference, here is how overtime is calculated when sold on the final day: overtimeBonus = (amountSold - quota) / 5 - 15. The real challenge of the Ironman challenge is getting enough loot to afford all the paid moons. Otherwise, the challenge is just survival, which is far easier. The cost of the paid moons and the timings of the quotas are as follows. [1st and 2nd quota] Rend: $550 Dine: $600 Titan: $700 [3rd Quota here] Emrbion: $150 Artifice: $1,500 [4th quota here] There are some tricks that we can use to help get some extra money, namely two things: we can sell extra when the quota is due for an overtime bonus, and we can sell in between quotas. Selling in between quotas gives significantly less value for the scrap, so the only optimal time to sell in between is before artifice, where there isn't another time where we'll need money. Otherwise, less scrap gathering is required is we only sell at the quota. With that in mind, by Rend, we need the total cost of the first three paid moons, which is $1,850. Here are some rough estimates as to how much loot one can make on a good day for each of the free moons solo. Experimentation: $250 Assurance: $350 Vow: $300 [1st quota here] Offense: $300 March: $300 Adamance: $250 [2nd quota here] Factoring in overtime bonuses with the average quotas and these estimates, the average amount of money that one might make if they do well on every map is about $1,996.75. This is enough, and if the Solo Ironman challenge didn't include Artifice, one could even sell extra quota before Titan to afford it more easily. It's quite doable. When we throw in Artifice, this becomes a problem. Here are some rough estimates as to how much loot one can make on a good day for each of the paid moons solo. Rend: $400 Dine: $400 Titan: $600 [3rd Quota here] Emrbion: $200 Artifice: $600 [4th quota here] By the end of the third quota, factoring the average money one could have, the cost of the moons, the average quotas, overtime bonuses, and these estimates, the average amount of money one would have if they do well on every map is about $1,739.50. This is enough to afford Embrion and Artifice, and getting enough loot for the fourth quota is easy from here. So the challenge is possible. One could lower the amount of scrap gathered a little, but not by much. We can sell scrap after Embrion, but that won't help much since Embrion is so bad, and the company would be buying at 53%, adding only about $106 to the help of affording Artifice, if one did well on Embrion. Basically, the Solo Ironman challenge without Artifice is doable. With Artifice, it's possible but requires excellent looting on every map, which can be impossible at times by RNG with higher quotas, weather conditions, enemy spawns, map spawns, and loot spawns. EDIT: Oh yeah, and this is assuming that the only money you spend is the starting $60.
So ive seen you do this repeatedly, but if you have loot near an exit, you shouldn't waste time early in the day bringing it outside: your time is better spent looting deeper in the facility, before monsters spawn. Later on, after monsters have spawned, exploring is dangerous, and so it is better to bring the loot outside
@katuli3677 I didn't know about that at the time 😅 I'm pretty sure one of my most recent videos I forget about it too. I'll definitely try and remember for the next flooded moon lol
Your use of the Jetpack Joyride music was superb; your editing in general is superb. I'm seeing less skipping around, too, which is always nice.
SO EARLY, w series frfr tho
Agreed

That's really useful to know, thank you for doing all the math! I really hope future moons stay in the "free" pool for the time being lol.

why did you ignore flooded fire exit at 27:16? You are using jetpack, it's completely doesn't matter for jetpackers if it's flooded or not.
