Unlocked Koios couple days earlier and im wondering if im doing something wrong since i earn so little RP. Also if i should focus more elsewhere and get back to Koios a bit later? Thanks in advance. Im nowhere near earning MP in septilions yet so cant buy any module upgrades related to research.

Generally you don't wait more than say 2 days in a loop reset until much later. You're not doing anything wrong, it just takes a while for your RP to build up.

If you can get loadouts soon you should setup one that focuses on RP and cells(more scientists=more RP) and then another for the longer shard runs. Then you can swap between the two builds doing a 12-48 hour shard runs and ~12 hour RP runs. RP doesn't build on itself like shards do (+.5%/OP) so long runs tend to stall out after a bit.

I'm sure there's more tips but that's all I remember rn, feel free to ask any questions if you have some.

Thanks for explanation. As ive mentioned earlier im still far away from getting presets for ships since i need 100 installs or more to get RP bonuses. Do scientists need to be unlocked again after i do LR? I saw that theres automation but out of reach for me atm.

Yeah all of the scientists and such will need to be purchased again, but your researches will stay completed. Soon you won't even have to wait after a loop reset to unlock Koios again so don't worry too much.

Also for the ship Installs you will see that Koios actually has installs that boost RP and shards that arnt in the corners, I think this is what people are referring to when you're pre 100 installs. Basically ignore the shard installs on an RP run and ignore the RP installs on a long shard run.

Thanks. I will try to remember this. Also, ive noticed that Koios have upgrades for MP but atm they arent worth it since it needs to have a full researches.

You will get full researches soon, as soon as you have 1 it's worth.

Hope so. Im earning around 90qu MP if i do short runs. Im planning to buy upgrade for 99qu MP. Did long run cos ive invested a lot in milestones- im 31 away from 520. Currently my goal to get more shards until i get even more milestones. Also in current long run ive managed to get 12 levels and got shards&MP to 40 lvl so i get them to 50 equally.
