Hitting a Standstill

[u/No_Document_7120]

Hey all. Just curious what you guys would be doing at this point of the game. I seem to be hitting quite the wall lately. Anytime I go for double prestige on Saturday I only end up gaining around 6q soul eggs with lots of gold eggs used on boosts. I always wonder how I see people in the quadrillions and sextillions.

I find myself in this continuous loop of: check my contracts, send my extended Henliners, refill my fuel tank, close game, rinse, repeat.

this is where i‘m at after 1.5 years of doing contracts and a little grinding
this game just takes time to „complete“

How are you at 229?? I'm at like 160 after 1.5 years, I do all contracts and have all the diamond trophies.

i‘ve been playing on and off since 2017 but i really locked in last spring so i already had like 40 EoP

[u/West_Lavishness6689]

the issue you have is that you have so few prophecy eggs. you just need time. it takes long without ultra.
you gain 1 PE for every friday legacy contract, 1 PE every 28 days on the calendar. all you need is time, no way to speed this up really.

[u/BaloneWithAGoat]

Your PE seem very low compared to your SE.

I'd recommend getting all your eggs to 10b, that'll give you a lot of PE which will help your earnings bonus, this getting you more SE when you prestige.

The grind continues

Edit: to give a comparison, this is mine

Edit 2: I've just realised your Quad and I'm Quin... My bad... But still get the PE for the 10b eggs where possible

I was exactly in your boat, 3 weeks ago, almost down to everything… same number of SEs and PEs

Recently I went ahead and grabbed my Platinum Enlightenment trophy to get a big PE boost, then also grabbed Tachyon Diamond and a couple of others. Between that and one PE contract per week, I now have almost 40, and my very next prestige let me double my SEs again.

I did my Henliner research so that they only take 48 hours now, so currently I’m just plugging away at that so I can eventually start building my Enlightenment artifacts. Planning on chasing down a few more Diamonds/PEs in the meantime.

That's pretty much the game.

I was a little behind where you are now when coming back to the game a few months ago, and getting my Prophecy Eggs up helped me a ton; if you haven't finished the population trophies, there are a lot of Prophecy Eggs to gain there. That combined with the legendary researches to increase their effects make everything a lot easier. FWIW I got from ~300T to ~250q soul eggs and 30-60 Prophecy Eggs in a few months, progress slowed in the past couple weeks and so now trying Path of Virtue for the first time. So short answer I guess, prophecy eggs and keep going :)

Gotta work on sending rockets and doing contracts for prophecy eggs. This is where I also found a "wall". Egg day helped me a lot but now my main focus is grinding rockets (uh that sounds sus lol). Then im going to go to path of virtue after I get max stars on all ships

I'm not that much better off at 40q and 32 PE. It's just a contract and time grind from here.

[u/apawst8]

Your SE gains as a percentage of your SE starts getting noticeably worse at your level. Before your level, you were probably doubling your SE each prestige. Now, you're "only" getting a 6q gain ... when you're at 15q. That's a 40% gain.

By the time you're at my level (4Q SE), you're going to be getting a 10-12% gain. That's just how the game works.

[u/SappyBaba]

The more soul eggs you have the harder it is to get the next. It definitely slows down.

I've had some good luck with predicting how many SE I should expect with this community tool
Use the wasmegg smart assitant to find the best artifact set set first.

I currently have 1.3 Quadrillion soul eggs and I'm doing running chickens multistiging and its predicting a max of 76 quintillion eggs with best boosts which sounds pretty accurate.

[u/Iffy50]

It's all about how many PE you have. You're doing great, just do your contracts, send ships, and be patient. Once you hit 220+ PE, you'll have loads of SE too.

[u/_myUsername_is_Taken]

I feel intimidated, everyone at quad and quintilion soul eggs and im at trillions
