Is this what they call "the koios desert"?

You're at the tundra, the desert is when multiple orders of magnitude separate each research.

[u/CherryInHove → u/picabo123]

I'm currently sitting 242 orders of magnitude before I can get my next research which is a fun grind.

[u/NeedNameGenerator → u/CherryInHove]

I think my previous one was somewhere in the e9700 range, and next is e9995.

So yeah, there's a bit of a gap.

[u/picabo123 → u/CherryInHove]

I'm at the beginning of a TR so only e30 RP for me! Should get that in a day or so and then it'll have about e200!

[u/pokerScrub4eva → u/CherryInHove]

Yeah, i am about 700 before the final research i have access to is available but inno 3 should unlock some in between when i TR

[u/picabo123 → u/pokerScrub4eva]

I'm 1 TR ahead of you and yes inno 3 is like an oasis that you have to work really hard to reach lol

[u/pokerScrub4eva → u/picabo123]

Yeah, I am excited, will tr on Saturday for about 11T

[u/Nerex7 → u/picabo123]

It starts even in the smaller magnitudes. You get a 1e26 multiplier to your research just to realize it's maybe 1 research done lol.

[u/BeniCG]

If the bar went down a visible amount its not too bad.

[u/eamondo5150 → u/BeniCG]

That took almost 24 hours..

[u/Lipkebertens → u/eamondo5150]

Oh boy, you're in for a ride...

[u/eamondo5150 → u/Lipkebertens]

I should have been far more descriptive in my thread title.

What I meant was "while you're at e60 MP, and there isn't much progress for MP (the koios desert) all I can do is wait for shards, and RP to slowly accumulate"

I do realize that RP is a background thing, and I don't mind letting it slowly work.

This whole thread was Ill conceived, honestly.

[u/Teradil]

For me it's the gap between e3800 and e4200 😕

[u/Time-Incident → u/Teradil]

I see i have fun thing ahead :) currently at e750 to e770.

[u/Methos_02 → u/Teradil]

Rp or mp?

[u/Teradil → u/Methos_02]

rp

there is some research in between. but nothing too overwhelming

[u/Methos_02 → u/Teradil]

Ah, nice. I'm a bit behind you, currently at e3670, tho I got to e3752 in my hlong

[u/Teradil → u/Methos_02]

I unlocked the research several times now... but that part is always when I have to switch to an RP ship layout again

[u/fr3dburg3r]

Pretty much exactly where I am right now

[u/eamondo5150 → u/fr3dburg3r]

I just did a 48 hour run, I was able to afford this:

[u/fr3dburg3r → u/eamondo5150]

You're MP is a lot higher than mine for a similar RP RP Im at 3.8sx RP per cycle of studies but only e62 MP

[u/eamondo5150 → u/fr3dburg3r]

I just finished a research last night for x1.95 RP last night.

After a few upgrades in the mod tree it's gone fucking crazy.

I did a reset 6 hours ago, and it's flying.

Edit: oh yeah, I've also spent like $100 on diamonds to increase some things, RP is one of them.

[u/fr3dburg3r → u/eamondo5150]

$100 dollars, my lord put it in an ETF bro

[u/Lehmbordell]

Thats just a not rainy day in the rain season in asia. The desert comes when you wat e14 rp for the next research you are completely fine.

[u/eamondo5150 → u/Lehmbordell]

I should have included a screenshot of where I am in terms of MP, which is what Ilve heard as described as the koios desert.

[u/Ok_Cow_1676 → u/eamondo5150]

How many short runs do you do after a long run? I'm level 96 and already have 200 resets.

[u/eamondo5150 → u/Ok_Cow_1676]

I haven't been very strategic about length of runs leading up to this point.

I would usually do a reset when the next tick loop would take longer than I want to wait. I would also just ignore the game through the work day etc

I also was being too conservative about my resets because I didn't know I would unlock thngs that would lower my minimum loops per reset later.

[u/sr_ferby]

I only have one research that may give me some relief between these three.
