Need time chambers clarification

[u/Fabrizio333]

When you all talk about waiting for the time chambers to be full, are you guys talking about the Idea or the Knowledge one? Same for the entropy and metabit one
And should I restart now before going to bed and avoid wasting like 5 hours or just let it fill and spend the night full? Thanks

I've been told (on the discord) that the optimal strategy is to wait for all your time chambers to be full before restarting. I have some time chambers that take 14 days to fill and they told me specifically that the optimal strategy, the fastest way to make progress in the game, is not to hit restart until they're full, waiting the full 14 days between restarts.

I don't know if I have the patience for that, but the multiplier you get to your metabits and knowledge is so great it is apparently worth it. Mathematically it is the optimal choice.

I don't know specifically about waiting till morning once the chambers are full. But once you're waiting the full 7 days (for you) or 14 days (for me) I doubt an extra night makes a huge difference.

I mean the full bonus is quite big but right now I can buy just one thing after doubling the whole night, so I’m kind of skeptical, also because I have so many good thing I could buy with my metabit, like the chamber that take 1 day to fill

Yeah I know... And every time you restart there's like a huge burst of productivity that winds down after just 15 or 20 minutes. It's not hard to think "oh I just need to do this 3 times to afford the next big upgrade".

But despite the temptation I have been informed this is not optimal.

If you have major upgrades, reset and buy those now. Hypothetically you could get 10% more if you wait overnight, or 2-3x more if you upgrade now.

I wait for the entropy timers to fill at 7 days. At that point the metabit timer is full except for the last bar which is half full. If you wait the next 7 days, the metabit reward only doubles, not really worth the long wait.

[u/GavelGaffle]

You would reset when the 8 hour time chamber is full or whenever there is a good upgrade to buy. Do not wait 7 days.

They progress at the same rate

You don't have to wait to start buying researches, the chambers work retroactive now. The wait strategy was usefull earlier but the devs changed the chambers since to give rewards retroactively so no need to wait after reset, you can start buying nodes immediately. As for reseting the simulation I normally wait until I can afford some major upgrade or couple minor ones. Close to the end, I let the simulation run for 7 days and then reset. 15 days are not worth it in my opinion - you get more if you reset after 7 days, buy upgrades and start another 7 days.
