how do i get resources for the night hunt
Ha! Look, for example, in the "crystals" tab. 1 crystal per hour. Well, 2, if you've been playing the game for a very, very long time. At the same time, upgrades cost 100-300 crystals of the theme 1000-50000. 50k! This is about three years with an income of 2 crystals per hour :) The author clearly hints that this is a LONG game :) And are you surprised now that the income of the resource is irregular during the day? Seriously?! :) Yes, you can look in there once a week, more often there is no point. And in such conditions, the daily frequency does not play any role.
And this is if my observations about periodicity are generally correct. But I can be wrong or understand something wrong :)
Well you're correct about regular features of the game. The night hunt event we're talking about though is a limited time 2 week event. Having resources generate only during the night time, which varies a bunch based on time zone, is much more important than features that are designed for months and years.
It is an idle game. You idly gain resources, but you can't expect the entire game to be idle. There are always aspects of an idle game that you need to yourself. You can't expect an idle game to be 100% idle in every aspect. If it were, there would be no need to actually play it.
Opening the page, starting the game and becoming the most prolific player ever just by playing once every 24 hours for 5 minutes would make little sense.
