What determines the strength of a Promotion?

[Panimu]

Hopefully just missing something obvious, I can see Promotion gets more effective if I wait, but is there somewhere this is quantified? Thanks

I'm not... entirely sure. It has to do with EXP that you gain throughout the runs. You can see that number below your promotions, in a small bar. Each interval of EXP, the potential level for that Promotion increases, which further increases the multiplier for it. It gets kinda intuitive later on. If you're looking for an exact answer, I can't give it, but I hope this helps!

Promotion scales up based on... prestige multi (p.mult) I think? And that's scaling up based on... score, maybe?

It's been a while since I was at that point in the game. All the infinity mechanics get super automated and streamlined when you're dealing with eternities and beyond. At the point I'm at, that low level stuff is just passive gains that take zero input / zero cost to produce infinite output. So I haven't given it any thought in a while.

Don't worry too much about it - eventually you'll have promotions and prestige automated at zero seconds since they won't cost you a thing, and they will become background noise, as will 99% of the mechanics that people struggle with along the way.

I don't remember if the statistics window is there from the start, but if it is, you need to look at your stats there, and how they change. Sometimes a thing you do may seem like it's making you progress faster, but you'll actually be slowing yourself down by a lot if you don't pay attention to stats.

* and that "eventually" apparently can be reached in weeks now. When I got through all the old content, it took me two months, which also isn't too long.
