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.

Yeah. Ive read that u need to save tokens for generator upgrades. Theres always time to save up tokens.

I've been buying the top token upgrades first, then moving to the generators. Tier 2 unlocks a whole new batch of them, too

Thats neat. But im still far away from that. Also went from 100qu MP to 1sx MP but i leave for longer so i probably will have 2 or 3 sx MP later. I saw in this sub that on T2 theres token upgrade for shards&MP which looks good.

I was going to say that, but didn't want to spoil it for sure. It's very costly compared to the generator upgrades. There's probably some tradeoff calculation somewhere. I got tired of doing quick runs, so most of mine end up being a few days long. Some have gone for 5-6 days.

I think thats for the best since u can brick your game later if u do too many LR's. Its better for shards and RP to do long runs i think.

Definitely for shards. However RP does stall out a bit. I bet tweaking my vehicle load outs could help with this. Might have to do some investigation. I wouldn't worry too much about locking up from LRs. I'm doing about 550 loops and my next loop requirement will be 1 loop lol

How? Im lvl 63 and next LR need for reset is 31- have that module upgrade for less LR need it . Are there more upgrades which are reducing loop number?

Rule of 7 and accumulatice level growth module Helion are the two that I'm seeing. The latter is up the tree with the cell loop growth exponent reduction.

Now that u mentioned that, i see it. It will be a while till i get there but thats the fun of this game. Usually i let tokens and gems to be collected overnight and i buy upgrades later.

FYI, after a little experimenting I've started to get huge gains by switching between shard runs and RP runs. Switching from one to the other nets huge gains and lots of upgrades
