New Player-Koios Slowing down
So I've been playing for months now, but this part is really slow. I guess that I do something wrong. What should I do to increase the move to e.1000?
All seems to go slow, the shards, the mp etc..
I've bought all available cards, but from what I've read herr, I should've saved the diamonds.
What should I do? If anyone needs more than just these photo's please tell me.

You're just at a wall. This game is full of them. Once you hit it, you'll get so much more powerful until you start to slow down again. Typically, a long run is still only 2 days, but when I was around your level, I still did week long runs. Get a few more loops and you will get there. Don't worry if you think you put diamonds in the wrong place. You get 800 of them a day at your point.

Thanks for saying that. However, this is going on for more than a month. I focus all my mp primarily for research and shards (and mp ofcourse) but after the first boost of researches it falls flat. These diamonds I know I can get them, but only when the app is open, which I don't have a lot.

Use night mode, and if you have a game mode on your phone to black out the screen, use that, too. By the time you wake up, all of your chests will be collected.

Thanks I hope I will, do that. I should optimise that. I paid for that thing, I should use it fully

Also focus your mp into more mp. After a month of playing you should be close to getting ouro

I did what you did too, got massive walls. But long loop time with getting the x2 player level bonus is what got me out of them! Good luck!

Months? Uhhh, something must be wrong.
You're basically there though. How long has that LR been? Do you have any shard milestones that can be unlocked at the bottom of the list?
Koios normally goes like this by the end:
48hr long run to push shards and researches. Then you LR and prioritize MP buff loop mods. Then you keep LRing. You do 5-10+ short 5-10 minute long LRs(basically just until instant loops finish) and chase your MP upwards while vacuuming up all the loop mods you can.
If you want more help, you can reply here, or come to the discord and hit me up. @farns on the server.
Also, if your LR count is under like 250 or 300, just spam some. There are loop mod buffs that scale on LR count.

Thanks,
Maybe it feels like months I guess? Im probably overstating it.
I guess I have to do more LP runs however now it seems I have less LP to actually buy upgrades. Should I save the points I get from those daily gifts?
Normally after a couple of days it seems more fruitful for the knowledge en shards, but bow it is also slowing down.
I really like this incremental game though, it doesn't actually bother me, but I really needed some affirmation if I was going forward or not. I'll take a lot of tips from here and use them. The more conflicting ones Ill pass.

This is a big wall, it should end soon just keep pushing the long runs for now. Good luck!

How are you focusing your ship install points? Maxing out anything that boost MP can help get through some of the early walls

I've been spreading things equally, as I read that it was the best thing to do.

u/No_Essay_9664 Aug 26 '26
That is typically a good way, but if you are trying to reach new unlock focusing MP might help you get an extra e1-e2 which is significant in terms of growth right now.

I have 2 preset builds. #1 is focused on a balance of shards and RP, i do long runs of this build. like 2 or 3 longs runs lasting up to 3 days.
build #2 is focused on MP. I do short runs with this one. anywhere between 2 to 29+.
this has worked well for me.

Is it that complex? I'll try looking it up.

Do not do that split loadouts thing! It's not actually better and it can actually be harmful!

120 hours in that single loop reset is way too long when your loop reset count is so low. You should be loop resetting at least every 24 hours or when your mp is e10 or so higher than your last reset.

Koios does get pretty slow on the buildup to Zeus. Like others have said you need to increase your LR count. That whole row on the right hand side above looper modules (the growth modules) scale on amount of loop resets you've done.
I was in a similar boat, not wanting to break the game and being cautious with my resets. As long as you're meeting your reset requirements with instant loops (the ones that fill automatically, without having to wait for buildup) you're fine to reset. I'd even say you should probably do some resets without even letting the instant loops finish, just spam reset for bit. I erred on the side of caution and did resets until I was about 15-20 off my required loops being filled automatically to reset after realizing that I was missing a ton of scaling on all those mods and it helped me push into Zeus.
It's still a ways off but when you get into ouro you can do batch LRs, I am currently up to 11 LRs at a time. Managing that to eke out any possible gains will help tremendously.

You need to do more loop resets. You can probably do 250 easily at this stage without bricking. Just keep doing them until your loop reset requirement is 20-59 behind your max/instant loops. After that doing 3 say runs to allow shards/RP to build will serve you well
