strategy for automate prestige and automate promote

[63619827]

could someone share your strategy for automate prestige and automate promote?
don't have to give the best strategy, just an easy way to gain IP with whatever you think the better number setting.
thanks.

It depends on your capabilities. There's upgrades, generators, and things that the upgrades depend on like number of infinities and challenge times. Going from 0 to infinity could take hours down to a split second. You may find that you tweak your auto settings quite a bit.

One thing I've learnt from reading and testing, is that what works for someone at some point of the game may be a horrible idea for someone who's much earlier or much later into the game, and determining what "works" for you is basically something the player should figure out.

For example, at the point I'm at, I automate prestige and promotions to a split second of time between them. Would I recommend that to someone who's still worried about IPs? No, because trying to tune things that way so early in the game would slow them down to a crawl.

At times you'll need to do very quick runs (which in my case mean "reset Eternity in a split second") and others you'll need to keep the run going for a long time (up to several hours.)

There's too many factors affecting your progress speed to really be able to tell you what to do at any given time - heck, I don't remember what I did to progress back when IPs were the only thing I was worrying about, and it's not been one week since. I don't even know if what I was doing was optimal, but it was fast enough to take me from "Infinity Challenge 9 is impossible" to "Eternity Challenge 10-5 seems doable in a few hours" and from measuring things in IPs per second to my IPs growing to a 5-digits scientific exponent in 0.02 seconds (what it takes me to reach 1 Eternity.)

So in short, if anyone tells you "you should totally do this and that" take that with a dumpster truck of salt. They may get lucky and it may work for you, or they may be - accidentally or incidentally - crippling your progress.

thanks, I will do some tests to find my setting.

If this is your first time through, prestige multi 1000 and all promotions lvl 10 works for a very long time. I used that from the beginning through several eternities. Promotions order seems to work best 2, 1, 3, 4. Not saying it's the best, but it works fine.

There are some earlier grind areas where you need to get challenge times down for better IP, but you don't have the IP to buy upgrades/generators. this is around upgrades 18. Just have to grind through it a bit, buy what you can and get the challenge times down. After that it's fairly smooth. By the time you buy all upgrades, your total challenge times should be less than 10 secs. (For challenges, turn off auto promotions and prestige)

Edit: If you haven't broken infinity yet (by completing all challenges), It's almost always faster not to use the Autos. But if you just want to let it run in the background. Try something like Prestige 1000, Promotion #1 lvl 7, Promotion #2 lvl 40-45, Prom #1 lvl 50, prom #3 lvl 50. Then to stop it from repeating any promotion Lvl 500. At that point let the prestiges carry it through. Tweak the lvls as necessary possibly add promotion #4 into the cycle.

thanks for your share.
I have tested for a while, the key is to first set promotion 1 and 2 a small number, like #1 promotion 1 +8~ level and #2 promotion 2 +15~ level and #3 promotion 1 +20~ level according to your progression, the set #4 any promotion a large number(5000) to prevent promotion from working.
the other thing is to make promotion number more in line with automate prestige min time, promotion has priority over prestige so don't prestige several times to promote the number you set.

What I remember of my old setup from before Eternity:

Promotions in order 2,1,3,4. 25 levels to each at first, then reduced to 20 later on, then was 10.

Prestige mult gain set to 100, then later on to 1000.

For some challenges or tasks that required quick upgrading of things (7,8 and 9 mostly) you may want to alter things to make them happen faster.

In short, for some people minmaxing it may work, but I had no issue getting to Eternity with a more "hands off" setup.

thanks for your answer.
I dive into the game and find automate settings are changing with your progression. there is no way to find the best strategy because numbers grow exponentially as well as your progression.
you have to adjust automate settings with time, shorten challenge time, make automate numbers precisely otherwise the "IP/s" is substantially reduced especially in the "break infinity" stage. so I quit the game.
I hope someone makes a calculator if possible, just like calculators of clicker heroes to calculate AS, HS, TL, etc, find "the best" allocate strategy.

[Kyouko Tsukino]

Even with a probably subpar, unoptimized way such as mine, it didn't even take a week to get to Eternity, and right now I'm working on the last Eternity challenge, Challenge 10-5, and going to be done with it in hours at worst, which will also mean I'll be done with the game's content.

So you're giving up on a game that takes an infinitesimal part of the time to beat, that it would take to "beat" a lot of the more microtransaction-oriented clickers/idlers. And you're giving up on the early game, even. "IP/s" gets so irrelevant so quickly, that it becomes a footnote to the bigger number, EP/s (Eternity Point per second) and EP/s itself can quickly become a footnote to the late game farms, Dilation and Research points.

I needed no calculator to get where I am, just letting the game play itself worked nicely. My computer's a certified potato PC, and I can still go play Skyrim, Fallout 4 Borderlands, Payday 2 or other such games while this one stays in the background doing its thing.

I agree that we should relax with games, peace of mind, much less an idle game.
but an idle game also has its progression for players to arrive.
revolution idle is not a foolproof game to "idle", you have to dive into, adjust automate settings fast otherwise your progression is laggy in the mid game("break infinity" stage).

[Kyouko Tsukino]

"Break infinity" is not "mid game." It's the last stage of the initial part of the game, and all the progression past that point dwarfs it quite amusingly.

However, it takes less than two weeks to beat this game. Did it minutes ago, got the last in-game 'achievement' so there's literally nothing else to do but watch numbers go up. And I did that while not really optimizing much, in fact I spent quite a few days with a "balance" lab setup, which a comment read in a discussion, along with half an hour of testing using only the bottom two upgrades of the lab, made me realize was not good. Some minor adjustments are required for one Eternity Challenge (Number nine, the one that disables generators,) but I've been pretty much letting the game play itself for five days, and the end result was "game beaten" and not "I'm so haunted by the prospect of not being able to minmax this game I'll quit during the tutorial."

You're hugely overestimating both the time it takes to completely wreck this game on sub-optimal conditions, and how much of the game you've really seen. So yeah, relax.

Edit: Okay, takes one month, actually, looking at my activity history, to 100% this game.

Still not an astoundingly daunting, complex, and/or third-party-tool-requiring epic quest of epicness, really. Anyhow, off to shout at dragons, punch deathclaws or conquer ancient China again, but this time, without an idle game running in the background.

... Going to have to find a new background app again. Damn.

Wat does mean that if Auto prestige do

[►Ʃꭙסּᴙץ♫◄]

At the start you want auto prestige 0/100/0.2 and promo 1,2,1,3,4 at +10/+25/15/25/25 all 1s;
Switch to prestige 0/1000/0.2 and 2,1,3,4/+25/1 when reaching infinity (might wanna switch back for challenges)
Then when you unlock auto eternity and the no resets, you want prestige 0/2/0.2 and promo 1,2,3,4/+1/0

[Xuhybrid]

It varies based on how strong you are or what challenge you're doing etc. A good baseline for general is 100 for first prestige and 1000 after. Every 10 levels for auto promote. You could also try 10 levels and 3-5 seconds for promote to improve very fast infinities.
