About Compute
At Compute 1.1 Cap+++, I have allocated 1.43e11 with compute speed 1.07e33
But why it shows ∞ per level
And what is that"Level Cost 6e58"mean

it means you dont have it set up currently to be able to do a single level in a reasonable amount of time. check all your factors that can potentially boost it and see what isnt on

tho if you have just reached the ability to do that, then you just need to progress further to unlock more boosts

Ok thank you for that. I think "10 years+" would be a better expression than this "∞"
"∞" probably means you will never reach it, even not in an infinite number of years (given your current speed). This is probably due to floating points calculations.

Here is the addition of floating points numbers on the PC:
100 + 1 = 101.
1000 + 1 = 1001
..
1000000000000000000000000000000000000 + 1 = 1000000000000000000000000000000000000, _not_ 1000000000000000000000000000000000001

In other words, once your increment is too small in comparison to the destination value (in this case 6e58 - 6 followed by 58 zeros), you will never reach it. In that case, i believe, the program shows "∞", not 10+ years.

Thank you for the explanation

Level cost is how much compute power you need to get one level. You don't need 6e58 compute power exactly though as you can also combine power with speed. So once your speed and power exponents added together reach over e58, you can reasonably get 1 level in it. Using the values in your first post, you have 1.53e44 total so you are not quite there lol.
