Longest cycle so far?

[BattelMatter]

whats the longest cycle youve gotten to so far basically? im at 800 but im guessing someones gone far beyond the realms of normal

Since resources are unlimited... the only limit is when you've done everything you wanted and there is nothing more to do an you restart. I practically played for ~1100 cycles so far.

i was mostly curious if you could just straight up break the clock

The longest was just under 2000 cycles but that was way back in the early days of having stressed dups pee all over the place for extra water.

Now days I can't seam to enjoy playing much over 200 cycles, Once I locate geysers and setup power, water systems and researched everything bar space stuff I tend to just restart.

Maybe at 65536 cycles.

Well, without debug max speed is 3x, cycle at 1x speed = 600 seconds, at 3x - 200 seconds (~3.3 minutes).
So you will have to spend considerable amount of real time to get stupidly high numbers, or you will have to leave game running overnight or something (actually fun project - automate things good enough for you to find perfectly working base in the morning :) ).

im running the 10x speed mod, it really gets things going,, and the star stuff is intresting but oh god is it a confusing nightmare. drills randomly over heating, solar panels that got walls added behind them exploding in temperature...

Whoever that was could have reduced cycles significantly by having more than 3 dupes doing all the work
