Tips for Playing Breeders of the Nephelym (Late Game Stuf...

So far, I've posted about the basics of the now reworked system: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10037397/
Then I wrote about how to get all the areas unlocked the hard way: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10038277
Now, the question is, once you get all the cockblock gates open, is there really much else to do? Well, yes, though opening every cock block gate is essentially how you "beat" this game. That doesn't mean there isn't anything else left to do. In fact, there are a few things you can do in this game after you cleared the main objective of the game.
Learning the Positions: You'll note that in the walkthrough portion of this guide, I made passing reference to Pawsmaati. Pawsmaati does unlock a few additional features in the game, but in terms of beating this game, Pawsmaati isn't even really necessary. Now that you've beaten the game, though, Pawsmaati is a great way to start unlocking the smaller features of the game.
For those that don't know, Pawsmaati teaches the sex positions in the game. Up to now, all you knew is doggystyle. The sex lessons, however, don't come free (yeah, I know, another pun). The thing is, you can't actually buy these positions through Orgasium. Instead, you buy them with the more minor in-game currency, favors. Favors are what you earn when you ascend your Nephelym through The Emissary. If you've played the old version, it might seem like you can get those favors quickly with high-priced legendary Nephelym with their boosted stats. Unfortunately, the favors seem to work on the old system, so whether a stat is bronze, silver, or gold, it all counts the same.
The thing is, while that sounds like a setback, it is actually an opportunity to start switching out your Nephelym from common to unique and legendary if you've already got that world to level 5 anyway. Just keep getting more Nephelym, swap out as necessary, and ascend the Nephelym you no longer need. As mentioned in the other parts of this guide, you are far better off wit legendary Nephelym than common Nephelym simply because their attributes get boosted faster through the new attribute ranks.
When you got enough favors, you can use the Pussy Portal and warp to the Sultry Plateau and start learning the positions one by one until you clean out Pawsmaati's sex position list. This may take some time, but you'll be able to get everything you could want on this part of the game.
Maxing Out the World Level's: While trying to unlock the cockblock gates, you'll probably notice that you haven't been leveling up very many of these worlds. In fact, you probably have only maxed out the levels of a mere 4 or maybe worlds. Now is your opportunity to start capturing and levelling up the remaining worlds. If you've followed this guide, you'll probably have completely skipped over the Risu, Formurian completely and only made passing note of Neko, Demon, and Harpy worlds. Well, now can be a great time to start leveling up these worlds to the max. An easy way to keep track of how you are doing is going through your barns. These will not only tell you your harvesting supply, but Nephelym world levels as well. It might take a while, but you might see some interesting things catching legendary Nephelym of the different species.
Maxing Out Harvesting: A relatively easy task is also to start harvesting all the milk and semen of the different Nephelym. As long as you got started collecting on the Nephelym in the respective world, harvesting will help you have more options for leveling up the different worlds as you go along. No more not enough fluid messages! Do note that milk and semen yields vary between Nephelym. For instance, maxing out Titan is a very trivial task. axing out Harpy and Thriae? That's a bit of a taller order and might take time. At any rate, this can be helpful as you clean out the rest of the game.
Grinding Up Breeder Levels: One more way you can get more out of the game is to simply grind up the Breeder's level. It can be a bit pointless (unless you want to win the surprise sex challenges from world level 5 legendary Nephelym, but it is one more way you can squeeze a bit more interesting stuff out of the game.
Getting Every Hybrid: In addition to the assortment of Nephelym, there are also a number of hybrids as well. These hybrids can only be obtained via breeding different species at the homestead. Sometimes, you might not even be successful with a correct pairing. Still, collecting every one in the game can be an achievement of sorts. Definitely reference the official guide for information on the different hybrid combinations. There's just too many to list here.
Fulfilling Optional Requests: You won't get anything of value out of it this late in the game, but you can try breeding and obtaining the Nephelym requested randomly on the request boards. You only get orgasium out of the deal, but this can present an interesting challenge - especially considering the board gets refreshed with new requests every once in a while.
Playing With the Other Gender: If you beat this game and want some variety, try playing as the other gender. If you played as a male, try female. If you played as a female, try playing as a male. The objectives are slightly different and the game offers some different challenges as a result, so it can be worth a spin.
Trying A Different Order of Unlocking the Cockblock Gates: If you are comparing my guide to the official walkthrough, you might have noticed I played the sequence in a slightly different order. It's mostly because I found this to be a bit easier, but trying a different order could result in different strategies popping up. I don't know if there is a way to softlock the game by wasting keystones on doors that don't yield new quests, but it might be something to keep in mind while trying another order.
Outside of that, this is all I can think of to help you through this game. I hope you got something out of this at the very least. Idea's and suggestions obviously welcome!

Game development is a very time consuming process anyway. It's not the end of the world if it isn't yet complex enough to need a guide. I mean, hey, piece by piece, step by step, you'll get there. As long as you set reasonable expectations, but also make those goals, you get there eventually!
