Animal milestone breaks idling?

[World's best Fox]

I just got the "gain 100% IP" milestone, and it has completely broken idling.

IP upgrade 1;1 doesn't gain multiplier anymore, and the IP adjuster doesn't work since I'm always at my max IP. I just wind up stuck at 1e80IP unless I manually tap infinity.

am i missing something?

That sounds like you should be at that point in the game where you actually DON'T want to automate infinities anymore. I think?

Going infinite within an eternity resets some things and then in the next infinity you have to climb back up to where you were before the EP value of the eternity can continue rising any further. This wastes time. Makes the eternity less efficient. Plus, animal milestone 5 gives you an automatic IP gain without the need to go infinite.

you seemed to miss the point of my question.

If I do not have automated infinity on, I get stuck at 1e86~ IP because upgrade 1;1 does not improve.

That shouldn't be happening. Infinity Upgrade 18:1 takes care of increasing infinities even if you don't manually/automatically trigger them, so 1:1 should still increase.

To be fair, IP adjuster was something I never used after testing it for a few hours.

oh i see.... it's at 2 every 1 minute for me....that'd probably explain it.

guess I maybe rushed animals a bit too quickly. I need more challenges to keep my fastest infinity time.

Finished 2 challenges instantly and got the 10 challenge milestone.

Well you're doing something to keep chipping away at your wall if the point where you're feeling stuck is moving.

Like for me right now for example, that upgrade says it gives 125 infinities every 67ms... Really wild that my total infinities displays as 14.4e39 if it's just increasing from that, actually. (About 4.5 hours into a dilation in a DP-focused dilation tree build.) The gain doesn't accelerate over time. It's just a flat rate. Unchanging. It should become barely noticeable after something like 1e6 or 1e9 or so have been built up. What's +125 more when you're already over a billion, right? There has to be something else giving credit for infinities... Anyway, so that infinity upgrade 1:1 matches that 14.4e39 and obviously that's not going to visibly shift to 14.5e39 until it's been however long it takes to collect another 0.1e39 infinities.

I did use IP adjuster for a while... until I reached the point where I could stop automating infinities and the adjuster became irrelevant anyway. I thought it was convenient at the time when it first became available. Things did look wonky sometimes towards the end of each automated eternity though. You'd get to a point where the auto-infinities would stall out because the target needed to satisfy the target assigned by the adjuster was increasing too fast for actual IP on hand to catch up.

But then it was all kinda wasted effort too because of the things that got reset with each infinity that delayed progress in the eternity. I was probably kinda wrong to see the adjuster as useful? Since the only real progress being made in each eternity was probably just after the auto-infinities stalled out and it got to linger in that final one.

Upgrade 1:18 will not "grow." I also have it at 125 every 67ms. It's based on your fastest infinity time and that one has a hard cap (33ms) but it's also enough to get quite an insane number of infinities over time, specially very late in the game.

However, 1:1 will match your current number of infinities, so yes, the OP has the problem of being "stuck" at a number of infinities, which makes upgrade 1:1 seem stuck too. Not sure how they're stuck at e80 IPs, there could be something else in their setup that's making them stuck. Possibly need to complete challenges and break Eternity so they can gain more IP? Frankly, it's been months since I was at that point in the game, I only remember some things about it.

As for the adjuster, to me it was a dud. I either needed 0 second infinities to farm infinities before I got the automated infinity upgrade, or "as long as it can go" infinities to farm the most IP/s I could, before eternity. So the adjuster was a vestigial feature before it was even unlocked.

can someone explain how to effectively use the IP adjuster i have it set to some random high number to test it out but im not getting nearly as mu IP as i should be

[Kyouko Tsukino]

To get more IP, the easiest and proven way is to just let an infinity run for as long as you can. The more an infinity takes, the higher the IP per second will be, making each second spent in that infinity worth more.

At the start you should keep it at 100/1000 and switch it to 1e10 once you start to speed up.

I didn't change it much when IP was speeding up

You want to IP quickly. No sense taking 1 minute to get 1e100 IP when you could have gotten 1e90 in 10 seconds. Especially after 1e33 IP, getting IP quickly is a lot more important then getting a large IP payout.

[Kyouko Tsukino]

The difference for long runs is noticeable when doing actually long runs, the difference won't be noticeable between short runs because the x10 IP buff takes a while to kick in, but when it does kick in, it will kick harder and harder the longer you let an infinity go.

You could get 1e90 IP in 10 seconds, or you could get 1e9000 IP in ten minutes, or you could get e90000 in one hour. The last one would mean almost triple the IPs per second gained, making every second worth triple what it's worth in a 10 seconds run.

I have the same problem. I was farming eternities (around 2e09 per 2 sec) and since I got the "gain 100% IP" milestone, I can't get to enternity anymore. How to I get pass this problem?

my problem was I hadn't gotten the milestone to save fastest infinity time yet.

Same, like why?

I'm like stuck stuck, I can't beat another challenge. My score now caps at 7.1k
