How to earn ascension points?

[peef]

How specifically do you earn ascension points? Is it a particular machine or is it based on amount of money?

Spin the Gear/machine at the bottom to gain acention points. 1 rotation = 1 point.

If I understand correctly, you get them by turning the giant gear at the very bottom. I have no idea how to make that work at a reasonable pace, though. Every setup I've tried has me either overloaded or has it creep at a barely visible pace. I may just need to grind more, my max load is currently 13.50.

Yeah my progress has definitely plateaued hard around the level 55 torque upgrade, i dont understand how to make enough money to buy enough torque upgrades to spin that giant wheel at a reasonable pace without leaving the game on for days

[luxtizer]

Ditto. If anyone has any tips for making it spin faster, they would be greatly appreciated.

So everyone of the small boxes make money based on the money you currently make, they are money machines, the other bigger machines gives you various buffs. making money wise you want to compound gears so that the spin faster and faster have cash gears that benefit from it and get a ton of spins and cashs from there the money machines make you a ton of cash based on what you make. there's a like a limit, and the first accension point always takes a long time and honestly my wrist hurts lol but getting that first accesion point basically doubles your tourqe on the next life

Spin the AP wheel at the bottom of the map

What level torque upgrade should I have before attempting to get the first AP?

If you want to passively turn the big wheel it requires 250 load capacity. You will most likely want to use compound gears to decrease the load requirement so that you can turn it earlier. Because you can scale the torque using compound gears and layers there isn't a specific torque level you should reach as long as you can engineer the solution.

This is a good example using the first load machine.

Here you can see I am connected to this load machine but instead of it loading me with 4 it has loaded me with only .44. That is because I used a large low ratio gear and connected it to a small gear compounded on a big gear.

In my example if I swap the BFG for a Big gear then it's a load of 1 instead of 0.44. The game doesn't explain gearing early enough imo but getting enough power early enough is going to depend on using compound gears and gear ratios to decrease power requirements for all the machines.

Always end your chain into ANY building or the ASC gear with the Biggest gear you have (momma gear) Your first time would be reduction to around .2 speed

How do you spend the points when you get them? I got a point, clicked ascend, said it'd boost torque upgrades, and then it did nothing and I still have a point.

Click the acention points button in the lower left, then click the upgrade in the middle. that should also allow you to see more upgrades.

Getting torck is so slow bc it scals WAY to fast is my problem

At least level 65-70 and you will need to disable all cash machines so it will be AP wheel only

[Jaregon]

im at lvl 64 torq and i think im to the point its just a waiting on my 0.18 ap/hour to fill in 5-6 hours
