new lab meta?

what is the go to research way after the nerfs?

If you are just first unlocking the lab, for EP and IP gain, about the first 6 pts into EP gain then most into IP gain. Ratio can fluctuate so check results, probably no more than 16 into EP gain. These are fast short runs.

For score and later Supernova runs a 1:4 ratio in #5 and #6 or 1 in Generator power exp to every 4 in Common Power. These are long runs

Around lab level 400, the 1:4 ratio in Gen and Common will be strong enough that you won't need to switch between the two setups. The ratio does change into dilation, but should hold true through all of animals. Eventually by the end of Dilation Tree it's everything into Common exponent.

By DTP 40 I noticed that going full common exponent was already giving me a lot more speed than 1:4, but yes, mostly upgrades 5 and 6 are the ones that will push you through a lot of the late game.

Currently stuck at 40 DTP and can't get enough DP to get to 41. My biggest worry is that my lab points are wrong too. I've tried various ratios but so far it seems that 100% into common exponent is still the best. Guess it's just a matter of using time flux at this point then?

Things slow down a lot at that point. Probably need long AP runs which can take several hours just to get back to where you left off previously, then several more hours to buy more AP. The closer to the end, the longer this gets even a day or two + for any real gains.

Damn okay that's very helpful to know. Spent like several hours of time flux on AP, and indeed I got an extra DTP out of it now, thank you! It's weird to go from easily getting 1->40 DTP without time flux, and suddenly needing to spend multiple whole hours of it to eek out an extra point. Game isn't very good at conveying this.

i noticed that at some point around supernova 16-17 1:1 or 1:2 ratio between 5 and 6 did much better, then 1:4 is the best also when you just start dilation all in 6 is much much better since generators are offline.

Supernova 16 is still quite early. At that point in the game, a small fraction into generator exponent can be a huge boost. I generally divided my total RP by 6, and did quick resets trying 1+5; 2+4, and 3+3 ratios to figure out where the peak was at any one point. It fluctuated back and forth between "everything into common exponent" and "more generator exponent than common exponent". Trial and error can give you a big boost in progress.
