So I played this game manually for quite a while early on today, reaching around Level 4, and noticed that the repetitiveness of it starts to give you hand cramps very quickly.

But anyways I was curious to see if it's possible, and technically it is but not advisable.

  • To reach Level 9 and get Level 3 Badge you need 450,000 points
  • Max points are around 2360 on Threat Level 3
  • You need around 2-3 clicks/keypresses a second for 2 minutes to get the 2k+ points
  • We will say you spread this around 14 days of the sale
  • Additional time, 10 seconds or so between rounds
  • 450000 / 2360 = 191 games
  • 191 games * 120 seconds = 22920 seconds / 60 = 382 minutes / 60 = 6.37 hours
  • 22920 seconds * 2.5 clicks = 57300 total
  • Around 32 minutes extra between rounds in total
  • At the very least 7 hours 9 minutes of time to reach Level 3 manually, but this assuming near perfection
  • 22920 / 14 = 1637.14 seconds of clicking each day * 2.5 = 4092 clicks in 27.3 minutes per each day for 14 days straight

It seems a bit insane and possibly dangerous? I think Valve should consider that some kids might actually play this game manually and it seems a bit dangerous to click this much. They need to add autofire at the very least.

Correct me if my math is wrong.

I cross-posted this on reddit as well.

EDIT: combatbeard has asked for people to choose S.Gifts as their default group.

"If people don't choose a group to represent it will default to Steam Universe group which is why they are leading on most tiles. We had the lead on one tile earlier but we don't have the numbers atm."

Once you get to level 7 which doesn't take long, the game requires much less clicking.

yep. after 7 i barely need to click, just the buttons are enough to get maximum score.

I don't really know how to use these scripts, so I am just playing mannually.

Hard squares require some mouse clicking, but medium and easy you can breeze through by just pressing '1', which is noticeably less straining.

Issue is that easy/medium only gives a max of 600 & 1200 xp in a perfect game, you can get 1100+ xp on hard by idling and not firing once.

I always avoided to use any scripts and stayed away from Java . But this time I decided to give it a try and earn my badge the easy way .
https://tampermonkey.net/ install add on for your browsers , go here https://github.com/meepen/salien-bot/raw/master/index.user.js it will install the script . head to the steam game https://steamcommunity.com/saliengame/play/ and it will do the trick .

I read that 3 years ago during Summer Monster Event, Valve actually tested new servers and some new features , and it suppose to be run with scrips . Same says these who got the 100.000.000 monster badge

True but that will take double the time. So just to reach level 9 to get even level 3 badge with idling will take you 14+ hours and you will need alt tab every 2 minutes to reset game.

I'm level 7 and I'm done with that game. All the high threat tiles were claimed anyway. Fuck this shitty Steam sale and fuck this game.

Up to Rank 6, so 6 badges.

To get to Level 11 is 2.4 million xp and it goes even higher because 10 doesn't even give a new badge.

Badge Rank 3 is at Level 9, Level 10 gives nothing, Level 11 no one has reached but will take 2.4 million xp total so 1000 games or 33.3 hours of playing total getting 2400 xp (perfect score) each time not even considering the delay.

Format:

Level = XP

1 = 0
2 = 1.2k
3 = 2.4k
4 = 4.8k
5 = 12k
6 = 30k
7 = 72k
8 = 180k
9 = 450k
10 = 1.2 million
11 = 2.4 million
12 = ?
13 = ?

Yeah saw that earlier, thanks.

Currently it's 50 hours of perfect scores to get to Level 12.

Assuming Level 15 is final, and they kept it at 1.2 million extra for each level after 12, then it would be a total of 100 hours.

I'm guessing however once the boss planet appears you might be able to get significantly more XP and level up much faster to Bade Level 6?

I gave up on it after the very first mission. My time and hand comfort are worth more to me than whatever I could possibly get from playing their terrible game.

Reach lv7, aim, holding 1st skill, use 3rd and 4th to stop a large group of enemies, perfect hard wave without taking any damage with no mouse clicks.

Let's glitch this !@#$%. No scripts needed, no clicking... not even use of powers needed. Just switch tabs after the timer starts and tab back right before the timer runs out. The monsters don't seem to move if you're tabbed out and your score goes up normally. I'm getting 1900-2300 points on high each time depending on how soon I tab back to it. If the timer runs out when you're tabbed out you won't get any points though as the game will error out and won't count the "4380" points you accumulated XD

Game is easy on High Level Threats after you reach Level 7. I don't really have to do much clicking - I just manage my Salien Abilities well and kill all of the enemies with little effort. Kinda relaxing.

I was playing without issue until some time ago it stopped working for me in the browser. It still works if I use Steam client but in browser I got my Salien ported from the ship and then nothing. No enemies show up, the time doesn't start. I tried relogging but it didn't help... Any ideas?

I would try deleting the browser cookies and cache instead of just relogging.

It worked! Strangely enough I now 'lose' a lot, it was much easier to keep the waves at bay. But it's still better than having 0 play :)

Glad to hear it works again for you. Unfortunately it gets very boring after a few rounds. That 2400 points/round at maximum also kinda makes it unplayable without a script at a certain level.

I'm using the orange beast body and the first power is spammable enough to replace the mouse click, with a little AoE.

Honestly I couldn't even get the level 1 badge for Salien at first (that's how bad I'm at clickers) and then just nope'd out of even trying for more because it wasn't worth it to me. I just open it long enough for the cards to drop and then leave.

Todays new lot of cards are about to become available. It's just the large increase of people arriving at the store that is slowing it down. Should be back to normal in a bit.

It only took me maby 2 hours at most to reach level three. Its a lot easier when using the first special ability (that you can hold down btw), which means you dont have to click as much.

Exactly how "far" does the Salien Badge level go? Badge level 4 seems to be achieved at the in-game level of 11. Are we sure that Badge level 6 is the limit?
