Super limited by Aluminum

[Jaap]

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if I'm missing something - almost every avenue for speed increase for me is blocked by a lack of alumi(ni)um. I'm on 2,500 LY/s on my way to the end of the universe.

What is the best path to unblock? The only "unknown" upgrades I have pending is Tachyon upgrade 17 and the bottom right Hydrogen upgrade.

Some of the Titanium and Engineer upgrade 15 are the ones I can still pour resources in that do not have to wait for large amounts of Aluminum.

Aluminium was a problem for me until I started getting the bonus to Iron and Aluminium in the Titanium tab. Once that bonus got high enough, the Aluminium started pouring in.

Mind you, that was only moments before I finished the game however.

Aluminium's just the cap late game.

I'm at 50 LY/s and ready for the final push, but first I am basically living in the titanium tab, aiming for 250 drones and increasing iron and aluminium gains as mentioned above. With a 7x booster (and a passive +2 from the hydrogen tab) it's amassing quickly enough.

Tip: quit the game and come back to it later, there is no point at waiting aluminium to gain a bit more aluminium over time and it's single player no prestige nothing.

little late, but don't forget about the Tachyon upgrade that lets you play the silicon bit game and gives u resources at 1/2 the rate of silicon gain... helped me a ton till i could get my titanium up like the other guy said

I feel like the Aluminium tab upgrade [Add half of your Aluminium/s to Silicon] should be the other way around

Same, by the time I got it, it was already basically worthless as it's capped at a few thousand, but Silicon was already at hundreds of thousands per second.

For me, the best path was to unlock Black Hole, Water Ticks, and the upgrade that refreshes the black hole cooldown when you advance time by consuming water ticks.

Complete Challenge 4 to unlock the giant asteroid, hold to click, then sacrifice half of your resources to gain a boost in speed. Do this every ten minutes (or however long you desire), and you win.

Literally, Water becomes the most valuable and efficient resource as far as speed goes. I got sick of aluminum and decided it wasn't worth it. I'm literally gaining billions of units of water every second, and sacrificing water costs nothing. This tactic is leagues more fruitful if you have a mouse macro to trigger a click every .25ms or so.
