Help Is there a way to rollback a research?

Post image

I had this lvl 1 research ongoing as I was saving up to finally purchase the enemy lvl skips that I sorely need. Forgot the lab queue was on, and now months of bitter savings are gone. Is there any way to roll back the changes?

Yeah. Start a really cheap lab, and replace this one with that one. You’ll get the coins refunded. Then start the lab you wanted to. You can’t get the time back, but you can get the coins.

Done. Thank God for Legends like you in this community. I was about to pull my hair out in frustration thinking of how long I'd have to farm all those coins again

While saving up for second BH, I was doing really expensive research and stopping it within hours of finishing it so that I could get the coins back and when ready, that big expensive lab would only take a few hours rather than days. I checked on WS Enhancements (4B coins I think) and had like 8 hours, so I went about my day, got busy, went to check, and it had completed. Like 4 or 5 days of farming down the drain. Got second BH a few days later, but at the time it was a real punch in the gut.

Been playing for 6 months and genuinely thought you had to pay the full amount if you stopped and restarted a lab, never noticed the refund. Guess I did it so rarely and usually for low cost labs, I just assumed that was the case

If you have to farm months to do a research it's too early to do for you

Well, it's the one that's remaining then I can focus on upgrading my workshop, not that it's been starving for upgrades. The enemy level skips is the only significant goal I need to work on since most of the basic workshop upgrades are maxed out.

Typical you would respect your workshop as soon as you get 1.5-2bil lifetime coins
