worth doing galaxies?

[failsafe]

Just wondering... is it worth doing galaxies? Cost is high, gain... hard to say. These figures seem too high for me ;-P

[Myresa]

Yes they're very worth it:
Firstly because the boost is a lot stronger than you'd expect (it takes just a bit to ramp up)
Secondly because waiting longer doesn't improve the boost you're getting, it's like a dimension Boost: they reset everything before (a galaxy will reset dimension boosts), so it's better to get them a s a p

[failsafe]

well... I understand that asap makes sense, since they reset the game... but getting 140 or whatever 8th dimensions doesnt happen asap ;-P

Worth the wait tho
Expect your production to start exploding at galaxy 2, dimboost 4

If you're still in your first few Infinities you will eventually start to ignore getting the second galaxy in your infinities, especially once you got the upgrade that makes galaxies double as effective. But once you broke infinity you basically always want to get as many galaxies as possible, since they are super strong.

slowly getting to second galaxy...
infinity... well... this I dont know ;-P

Oh, your very first run, then yeah, you probably really want the second galaxy.

Yeah I can understand it because I had the same thought when I started playing this game like 4 years ago. By the way if you played this game till now then you probably already have a few IP. And you will understand that there are a lot of things in this game that will reset your progress completely in exchange for some good stuff + you will need to think much more about some decisions you are doing the futher you get. And that's the reason I completely love this game.

Recently I'm very much into relaxing games... just have too much stress in real life. I even avoid some of my fav games that require more calculating power ;-P. I must admit that I consider AD as a purely relaxing idle game. I used to play it on mobile years ago, then I tried to be more "scientific" with my approach, I still remember some small things, but mostly not ;-P. Some day I will try to understand how this game works again. I admit that there is some fun in it.

my base is 1.125 per tickspeed upgrade
1st galaxy for me is instead 1.145 per upgrade.

say your base is 1.
10 tickspeed upgrades @ 1.125 = 3.24732 multiplier.
10 tickspeed upgrades @ 1.145 = 3.87306 multiplier.

And then remember that number is compounding from AD8 up to 1, as its all ADs are producing faster.

It becomes easy to confirm fairly early on where you can just time an infinity run with and without getting galaxies. I really don't think there's any situation where skipping a galaxy is faster than taking it, even considering some of the challenges.

Before breaking infinity it clearly can be faster to skip the second galaxy, simply to reach infinite AM quicker, since taking a second galaxy does take time.

yes, agree 100%. but that first one is always objectively better than not having it (again I'm fairly early on in the game)

Yes, the FIRST one. Not the SECOND one.

The galaxy number isn't given in this. In certain situations, the second galaxy isn't worth it.
