1kBHC, much harder than anticipated

[Fel]

So I finished my CPC and before going for either UBC or TMC I figured I might as well unlock that "new" might entry (specifically before TMC since 50 more free levels and another entry to level ill obviously help).
7h30 later I am starting to regret my decision as all I have managed to do is 480 of the 3825 planets I need and even with both chakra pills active I only have 4/7/8 on my generator.

Thankfully I had somewhat planned this as I sent 10 pets on a 9 hours divinity campaign that ends in roughly 2 hours but it seems like I had underestimated this challenge quite a bit.

Admitedly I only have 148k BS (between GP and CP) when the bare minimum to unlock the challenge is 100k BS, so it probably is just a case of me overestimating how potent my stats are but I do hope it won't take me too many days.

(edit: fixed BS/CS that I mixed up)

Aren't you talking about BS instead of CS? Got me confused for a while. The lack of divinity is the cause of problems, I suppose?

Anyway, yes, it was much slower than I expected too. And when the materials were gathered and I started to really build the Black hole... I was not expecting more 18 hours to finish it (I was miscalculating 4 hours :( ). Took me 46 hours total. My BS was a little over 150K, but I had some offline time to mess with the end of it.

The new might worth the effort though, specially in TMCs. After the first one finished, I will focus on other chllenges and leave the remaining for when I have 1M BS.

Not sure how I made that mistake but yes it is BS.

The good thing about black hole and its upgrade is that they show the time with 1k clones by default so nearly 19 hours for the black hole and 28 minutes for the upgrade is what I can expect.

Keep in mind that this time is with both chakra pills running, and that the V1 is only 1.5 hours long. Sleep time and offline time can mess with you. It was one of my mistakes, don't repeat it! :)

Unless I'm really misremembering it, the V1 stack so you can use 4 pills to extend its time to 6 hours, for example. So, remember to activate enough to cover those 19 hours and a little more to be sure.

I feel you :P started mine yesterday too with approximately 107k % BS, spent almost 1 day setting the divgen/divcamp, and today set 1k clones to the BH (removed clones from monsters and training to make it faster)

roughly 50 hours for the BH alone, using a V2, so I spent all my 10 V1s, I have 5 hours left of V1 and 16 hours of BH left.. this will probably be a 3+ days 1KBHC, but no worries, worth it for the extra might :P and it's a better QoL during event too, easy 12h food camp restarts

[Fel]

I have 960 of the v1 in stock (it rarely use those consumables so they just keep piling up from the pet campaign) so I already used enough for over 24h, but it's good to make note of that since it can definitely affect the results quite a bit.

What I would did was do two div pet camps, Two hour for first then 2 hour for second. The first 2 hour div camp would give enough div to get the 5 galaxies to start the black hole. I split them up because as you noted the black hole takes a lot more building time than the upgrade. You'll have to test how many hours for each div camp due to highest pbaal, ndcs, FSM pet etc.

2hr div camp then 2 hr
divgen 1/8/8 then 4/8/8

[Fel]

I'm marking this as the answer because the tip seems very much on point even for people not able to get the divinity generator up to 1/8/8 in 2 hours.

My divinity campaign just finished and it produced even more than what I needed for all of the creations (finishing them extremely quickly thanks to my 92k% CS and 480 CC), meaning that I could have started the black hole itself a few hours earlier.

It won't change that much since I am only doing it once for now but I will definitely sit down and do some math to figure out how long I need the two campaigns to not waste several hours like that next time.

I did it at 100k. It wasn't as bad as I feared thanks to divinity campaigns giving me most of what I needed. However I'm not doing any more until I'm closer to 200k BS - I'd like it not to take quite as long if I'm trying to grind them out.
