Minions Stop Super Compactor 3000 from producing Omega Enchanted Eggs

[FIIIIIIIIIIIIISH]

Currently, if you don't collect from a Chicken Minion with a Super Compactor 3000 and an Enchanted Egg for long enough, it will turn 9 Super Enchanted Eggs into an Omega Enchanted Egg.

This is bad for two main reasons:
1. Currently, Omega Enchanted Eggs have only one use, so they are actually worth far less than Super Enchanted Eggs, thus destroying the profit of Chicken Minions for less active players (or, for Ironman players, destroying the utility of Chicken Minions, since only one Omega Enchanted Egg is ever needed).
2. Omega Enchanted Eggs are non-stackable, unlike Super Enchanted Eggs, so turning 9 Super Enchanted Eggs into an Omega Enchanted Egg actually makes it less compact than if it had kept stacking the Super Enchanted Eggs to 64, thus going against the whole point of the Super Compactor 3000.

There are a few ways this could be fixed:
1. As the title suggests, make Super Compactor 3000s simply stop producing Omega Enchanted Eggs. This would be the simplest and probably best fix. A different way to implement this fix would be to allow players to set what their Super Compactor 3000s do or don't produce, which would fix any similar issues concerning other Minions.
2. Add more uses to Omega Enchanted Eggs. This option would be great in the long run, and I assume that this will eventually happen, but obviously this would take a while, and is unlikely to cause the price of Omega Enchanted Eggs to reach reasonable levels unless tons of pets are added that use Omega Enchanted Eggs.
3. Make Omega Enchanted Eggs decraftable. This would be easy to implement, since they only cost 9 Super Enchanted Eggs, so they could function like vanilla Minecraft mineral blocks. This would have notable short term economic effects on the value of Omega Enchanted Eggs since they would suddenly become as valuable as their ingredients, but in the long term it would probably be fine, but it would be inconsistent with most other compacted materials in Skyblock.
4. Make Omega Enchanted Eggs stackable. This is probably the worst fix, since it would only address the second issue with Omega Enchanted Eggs, and would be useless because currently there is no reason for anyone to even have more than one Omega Enchanted Egg, but I suppose that this is technically an option.

this sounds reasonable

technically false, as you need 1 wisp pet for pet score and one to give to george for taming cap

maybe it could be used when crafting pets like blaze pet to double the chance of getting legendary?

Make Omega Enchanted Eggs stackable

wait I suggested this in my april fools post for melon dicer rng meter lol

currently there is no reason for anyone to even have more than one Omega Enchanted Egg

like I said, 2 wisp pets, one for taming cap and one for pet score

The idea is great and I love how you provided reasoning and solutions but the fact that you emphasized only needing 1 when this is false brings the overall rating to 9/10

That is a good point, I recently returned to Skyblock after not playing for a while, so I wasn't aware of or forgot about needing to give specific pets to George, and the Wisp pet being among those pets. In hindsight, I should have more thoroughly read the Wisp pet's wiki page.

maybe it could be used when crafting pets like blaze pet to double the chance of getting legendary?

I had considered something along these lines while writing my post, but decided against it because I thought it would need to be 9x chance to be worth 9 Super Enchanted Eggs, but I failed to consider that this change would also make the pets cost fewer additional resources, so something like 2x legendary chance could actually be worth it for pets that require particularly expensive materials to craft.

NGL for a while I just assumed that it gave a 100% legendary pet chance until I learned it’s near useless. (Which was like a year ago)


Cool idea though to make it not be dropped by chicken minions. This is an issue I haven’t really encountered but makes sense that it annoys other people.

How much time do a maxed chicken minion need to produce 9 enchanted eggs?

2 and 3 are the best options, a little boost to get a legendary pet using omega eggs, or make them decraftable, or maybe both

I can't give a precise answer because I don't have Beacon V yet (Tomorrow it will finish being forged) and I'm currently using Foul Flesh instead of Hyper Catalysts, but according to my rough math with the things I am currently using, it takes around 24 days for a chicken minion to produce 9 Enchanted Eggs. (Around 21 days with Chicken pet, but as far as I'm aware, that only applies while you are on your island, which I assume wouldn't be the case for someone who hasn't collected from their minions in 20 days)

While I do still think those two options would be good, neither of those solve the problem that Omega Enchanted Eggs are seven times less compact than Super Enchanted Eggs, with the only fixes for that being solution 1 and 4.

some important things to note:

t12 minions
enchanted egg + super compactor
free will + mithril infusions
postcard
beacon t5 with scorched power crystal
hyper catalysts

if afk on island:
farm crystal
leg chicken pet lvl 100
chickens automatically die (eggs are only produced when they spawn)

Currently I have t12 Chicken Minions with Enchanted Egg, Super Compactor Free Will and Mithril Infusions, and I have a Postcard and a lvl 100 Legendary Chicken pet, so the things I am missing are:
Beacon V (I had a Beacon IV, but it's currently being upgraded in the forge, so currently I have no Beacon or Scorched Power Crystal minion buffs)
Hyper Catalysts (I plan to switch to them once my Beacon V is ready, so my current math is done with Foul Flesh instead)
Farm Crystal (I do have one, but despite their poorly worded description, they only affect crop Minions as far as I'm aware, so they can not be used to boost Chicken Minions)
Automatically killing chickens (I've been planning to look into this, but I haven't built anything for it yet because I've been very focused on unlocking my last minion slot)
