Im struggling to get more than 5 DTP

I sell all my animals because that makes the AP go up. So that makes the dilation point gain go massively up. Idk if thats the best. I cant farm AP very fast either. Points arent really going up.

There must be something else causing you to slow down, however, selling your animals will give you a huge loss on the farming speed of everything else (Score, IP, EP, DP) that would make you get APs faster.

You may have bad automation setup, or bad lab upgrades setup, or something else.

Well, I'm in a similar situation with the bigger gap after getting the 5th DTP, but I wouldn't say that I'm struggling to get the 6th one, it'll just take some time.
Right now I'm farming Eternities, since the DT TOP-2 upgrade boosts the gain. Maybe that'll help. It should at least speed up the process of getting the 6th point.
From what I read in the late stages lab points spent should be 1:1 on upgrade 5 and 6. Not sure about the rest of the DP tree, maybe someone else can fill in a suggested order for those. My instinct would be to put the 6th one into the center for the achievement, then reset for another achievement and a boost and trhen push TOP-2, but maybe there's a more effective way to progress after that.

Later on (hinted at by the one achievement about resetting the Dilation Tree) it's better to figure out different ways to do different things. Farming AP, DP and Supernovas all have different tree upgrades that help them, and it won't be until DTP 40+ that you may be able to do two things at the same time in an effective way (and by then, the grind gets obnoxious.)

go C1, T1, T2, 2xT3 and and ramp your supernovas up to 83 or so, then spend a little bit there to farm some extra AP. There should never be a point that you're refunding your animals for more DP gain.

If you already have 83+ Supernovas, go C1, M1, T1, 2xT2 and just stick at it until you have enough DP to buy a new DTP. 5 DTP is where I had my first major wall, that took a little while to get through.

I hate posting a link to my own guide, but don't really want to retype the info here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3408307617

It should get you through without any trouble. A good possibility is that you don't have enough Eternities.

I forgot about that. Yeah, iirc I spent a couple hours just letting it auto-eternity to get a couple thousand and that makes quite a big difference when you get stuck.
