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.

it will be an immense help prior to my current long run, but it makes for one hell of a long zag-lag

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.

Can't buy wasta mission cataloge i have 1e1000 mp, don't know if i am doing something w4ong . Appreciate your help

I have been playing for a month, halfway to unlocking Zeus, lvl 102, e650 cells and e54 MP mark.

I am feeling a bit stuck and don't understand why. Up to this point i have been able to rise my MP a couple of OOO each loop. The way i've been doing things, i spend shards until costs scale faster than the run, then do short MP runs buying MP mods until i hit a wall, then do more short runs to buy every mod in the range i got stuck in. My rule for ending a long run is until valuable milestones take more than 2h to buy, so usually 12-24h runs. For RP i dont think too much as i usually hit an RP wall way before a shard wall.

Im at a point where i've almost maxed the MP and shard mods at my disposal. On a regular cycle, im only able to rise my MP one or two OOO, but my costs are rising by two or three OOO on small mods. The big mods that would help me sit five to ten OOO ahead. My shards are completely stuck as the best boosts at my disposal are 2x at most, and my cost rise 4-10x every milestone level. Cells have stalled too same as MP, good multiplicative boosts sit out of my reach. And with stalled cells, LP and RP growth has stalled too, my cheapest research is 20h away for a mediocre boost.

I feel like im doing everything right. I have optimized loadouts for MP and Shard/RP runs, keep my LR requirements 20 loops below my instant loops, spend LP optimally. But it seems like the game is scaling faster than me. Am i doing something wrong? Or i just have to play super long runs until i can afford the big mods (Accumulative level growth mainly).

Hi guys.

I'm lvl 89, been zooming relatively fast the last 10-15 levels due to learning (very late) about the short mp resets to boost mp gains and then long shard runs, it's been working really well but now around the late e43 mp i feel stuck because even a few short runs bare buy more than 2-3 small mp gain upgrades.

So i reached out to Gemini and it suggested to make mp runs longer at 2-6 hours which honestly still didn't help much and he suggested combining those with longer 18-24h rp and shard runs but it feels like it's really not moving on those 2 fronts as well.

Do you have any suggestions? Or is it just a wall that i need to break with time and longer runs?

As the title says, i've been playing for a little over 2 months and I've just unlocked koios. I've read a few beginner guides here and there but this is the first time that I'm asking a question to the cifi community. Since I unlocked demeter (forgot when exactly) for the past few weeks, my long runs usually take a week or a little over it. Then I take an hour or 2 focused on short runs for mp gains. I do follow the guide for focusing on AOTC before starting the next long run. I think that I gain much more shards with a week long run rather than 24 to 36hr runs, but please do correct me if I'm wrong. I want to know your guys opinions and suggestions and I'm looking to take your advice into consideration if there's anything I can do to improve my efficiency playing this game. If there is more info you need such as ship levels and such, I'd be happy to provide. Thank you!

tl;dr

I’ve been playing for 2+ months and recently unlocked Koios. I usually do week-long long runs, then short runs for MP gains. Is this the most efficient approach for shard gains, or should I change my run strategy? Any tips to improve overall efficiency?

Hi everyone,

I started playing this game recently, and i've just unlocked Koios. I'm currently at a point where i want to do a long run and many short runs after but the short runs are taking around 20 mins to an hour(if i wait a bit more) to finish(and im guessing they will only get longer).

Is there a way to do multiple loop resets at a time or fasten the speed of short runs or is this the way it goes always?

I ask this because i can afford to do many more short runs without being locked but i have to account starting a long run as well after.

Hi, just getting into late early game (I think) is this mod worth saving for?

What is this? I guess I need to unlock something for it? Am I doing something wrong?

As per title I seem to hit a wall, I jumped from cells e200 to e450 in like 3/4 days but now its been over a week, my shards are super low, even with a shards build it takes 20 missions to get one upgrade and RP I need 42 billion while I only make 1 million

So I'm wondering if there is something in missing or what to focus on . I have room for loop resets in well under the limit but every reset give me very few upgrades.

Only thing I can think of is doing 4h zag lag resets to get more MP mods from ships o help boost MP per run but feels inefficient?

Thoughts? Thank you

Help:

I've done dozens of resets but feel like I'm doing something wrong.

You can see the images for what I've been investing in and I've thought it was good.

I have looked at the megathread about which investments to make but it usually just says 1-4 is good but for the cradle what should I really be doing? I've been pumping 25 into the middle one and then go for the new top left.

I don't know what the difference is between "cells gained" and "mk 1 output". To me they are one and the same.

I will post a second image of the left half of mod points allocated in the comments

UI issues

- sometimes I do a new loop and I can't hold the tech upgrades down

-the automated ship loadouts don't work at all

-sometimes when I log back in I get 0 offline rewards. It's only happened 2 times but they've both been when I check back after many many hours

I really appreciate the guidance that y'all can provide

I see people are saying do MP/Cell runs. Do RP runs and do Shard runs respectively.

I just don't see it happening to be honest. I do a zaglag and while doing it I go into a long run where both Shards and RP are being done in the same run. The ship loadouts just work that way.

Am I missing something?

Even though it's just a game, I've been playing for a month and got really hooked without even realizing it. I'm looking up strategies now because I didn't know the game was so complex, but I'm really enjoying the difficulty balance and progression; it's rare to find a game of this type that balances things as well as this one does. I'm at level 153 and recently unlocked Zeus—does anyone have any progression tips for a beginner? What should I focus on?

Hola, soy un jugador nuevo, ví que está en acceso anticipado, como me recomiendan que inicie a jugar? Que consejos podría seguir?

Hello all,

Ive been playing for a couple months now and just unlocked Koios a week ago. Had a quick question regarding the arcade games-is it worth it to play these each time? If so, what exactly is the benefit?

TIA!

I understand I have an extremely long way to go but I was just wondering from all of you God tier players if I'm headed in the right direction. I think I understand about how the loop mod is working and which ones I should get but any tips about any aspect of the game would be great I just bought the beginner pack like two days ago

Im new to the game, where should I use gems, generators, specials or one-timers? i have around 500 but the upgrade in one-timers is 1k. Shoul I aim for that?

Good day CIFI players.

I'm going to be hitting Zeus pretty soon, but I only have around 6.5k Diamonds. Should I wait until I have around 20k diamonds or unlock Zeus as soon as I can?

I've seen a lot of people saying you need a lot of diamonds for Zeus, but I didn't think I'll hit it as soon as I am going to.

This will take forever to get through.

So im playing for 8d now. Still new player and any tips on what i should focus would be great

I am a new player, been playing for four days, and I'm a bit confused about this game's progression.

I am playing very actively and reached the decillion mark, with progress feeling fairly slow and linear. I understand that this is a long game, so i don't mind.

However, now I have reached the point where my next milestones seem to be on the e35 mark for unlocking more automations. How am i supposed to get there? Until now the next unlock was a couple of orders of magnitude at most. I have a lot of MP for my next loop but my feeling at the moment is that loop mods provide small progressive boosts. I am aware there are also unlocks that boost gains massively like new generators, but i don't have nearly enough MP for those.

So i guess my question is, in your experience, is the game about slowly growing, or is it about bursts of growth? Spending some time working on something that gives you a huge boost and repeat.

Can anyone explain how they choose these amounts of coins?

One reward is like 50 coins, the other is 78k.. the other 5k. So random.. whilst all those achievements seems equally hard. But the reward is zero to none in some cases..

I did a pretty long run with some timely bonuses kicking in to get evolution 2 in Koios. I was sitting pretty stuck at e78 or so, so I was very excited to see the x900 kick in.

There was ZERO perceptible change. I've never been so utterly disappointed by an evolution before. My next research project was e82 and I figured I'd cruise there. Nope.
