Good afternoon, it turns out that with the last update they have placed something that made me lose food (110 essence power to be precise), the thing is that it turns out that I had a rank 7 bottled hope with 4 gems inside active (power and command, lighting core and hunger these gems at rank 3 and a rank 2 howler call) the problem began when I extracted the gem power from the bottled hope and when I wanted to activate it again it asked for more food than it gave me, so what I did was remove the gem power from the ones I had inside it, believing that this way I was going to recover that power to re-enable it… after doing this the power effectively returned and the hope was activated again, but the bug is that the 4 gems that I had inside it have become inactive and without essence power, since I had to use that power to re-activate my bottled hope…
I would like you to reverse this situation and return the gems as they were previously since it cost me a lot of money and time to upload it to how I had it, I left you a screenshot so you can see what situation my gems were in… thank you very much in advance and I hope for a prompt solution to this game error!!! since one is investing money in this and it should not happen that the food disappears like that…
Did you perhaps do a progressive Upgrade of the Bottled Hope, after the Update dropped?
As of now, when doing progressive Upgrades, you lent the Gem Power of the Gems inside the Gem you upgrade. So you effectively save on spare Gem Power you have to have at hand. The downside of this is, if you unsocket those Gems, they become dormant.
I‘ve not tried it myself until now, but I would guess, that when you unsocket the Primary Gem, this would also make the others dormant at that moment. And if that happens, I‘m also not sure, if you can put the dormant Gems back after socketing the primary Gem again to go back to square one.
I basically think, that after using the new method to upgrade a Gem, you are stuck with it in that Slot, until you have enough Gem Power again, which you would have needed in the first place. So it‘s a double edged sword in my opinion, to use this temporary gain of power, because it has some disadvantages.
Of course I could be totally wrong in my thinking, but lacking the needed spares and Gem Power and being too cautious with my used Gems, I couldn’t test it for myself yet.
You are correct, it works like this. I had to throw away 50 crests to recover food and be able to leave it as it was. Once I did that, it let me do another progressive level up while keeping the gems as they were before. It is a double-edged sword. You have to be careful because you can lose resonance and your gems can become inactive. Although in the long run, when you recover that missing power, the resonance is fine. Thanks for your help. A hug.
I just upgraded my 4 start rank 4 chip of flesh to 80% of the way to rank 5 since now we can do progression upgrades at rank 4 instead of at 5. Any way after upgrading to 80%of the way to rank to rank 5 it is now show up as dormant someone help
