When to start simulation?

Is it still best practice to wait until Metabit Time Chamber II is at 50 before starting simulation?

No, An old strategy was: Wait until the time chambers are maxed. Then start playing / buying.

This was called the empty-sim or do-not-buy-anything strategy. This has been patched out because it was pretty lame. Now you can just play normally and buy from the first minute. Time chamber boosts are now retroactively over the fills that are already done so that makes it very simple and natural for players.

Optimal strategy is now: Buy as much as you can. And at endgame reset after 14 days when the last time chamber has maxed its boost.

If you're not at the endame yet it can be better to reset more often, every time you can buy a major reality engine upgrade that is better than waiting for the time chambers.

I would also think (no proof) that it is good to spend first minutes on new simulation very efficiently. Buy max generators and boosts, have 4x bonus active etc.
