How does Divinity Generator work?

[Adrian]

I can beat all except the last 3 Gods, but I cannot build the latest inventions (Continent and later) as I am not even close enough with Divinity to buy the stuff needed to do so...
I have unlocked and made the Divinity Generator, but cant really figure out what to do with it...

So I can put Clones on the top part, but nothing happens... when I click on the field to exchange??? some of my Goods, sometimes some Divinty is generated, sometimes not? Buts its very small amounts, and as I exchange Goods for Divinity, which I need to buy more Goods, not sure thats what I should do...

And the lower part is just a temporary boost, or? It does not stay permanent like the Might improvements under Training?

So how do I use the Divinity Generator correctly?

Capacity is total amount of Divinity you can have in it. Adding creations (Light, Stone etc) to it adds the value of those creations which in term generates Divinity for you

Convert / s is the amount of Divinity the generator converts each second additional to the Divinity you're already getting from fighting monsters

Divinity / s is your total Divinity gained per second. It is a mix of your Divinity each convert as well as Divinity gained from your Worker Clones.
Your Worker Clones at its cap carry Stone to the Generator (if you have Stone).
If your In use Capacity is at it's maximum (IE: 40.000 trillion / 40.000 trillion) your Divinity / s is increased for every 5000 Worker Clones you have.

Example:
I have a Capacity / In Use of 180.000 trillion / 179.999 trillion and I have 900.000 billion Stone.
My Worker Clones is capped at 2880 clones.
My Divinity / s is 54.000

I raise the Worker Clones to 5450 clones and now generate 54.540 billion Divinity / s
I raise it to 10580 and I now generate 55.080 billion Divinity / s

While the description is somewhat off (states it increases the gain by 1% every 5000 clones but it's actually less) you gain more Divinity / s every 5000 clones when your Capacity / In use is at its maximum and you still have Stones laying around.

What you want to do is keep your Stone supply up so they keep adding it to the Capacity which in turn yields the bonus.

The Time till empty freezes as the Stones they carry is taking priority and it will stay frozen until you run out of stones.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

No problem. Glad I could help

you don't just add stones. The Add button you can add diffent constuctions like towns humans (my faviot) or even planets. But you need to manually ad those kind.

And you always get more then you put in so just buy some items and crank it up. and then reap the befets later

[Adrian]

Still a bit confused... so I boughht 100 million Stone... and they instantly disappear, and the Divinity Generator is still empty... I noticed things once I bought 1 billion stone... then I saw that the Generator was fillling up and Stone got less... took ca. 30sec... and in that time, Divinity was gnerated... but after 1 min, it was over again, and I seem to get 0 then... so do I constantly need to buy manually billions of stone to get anything out of it? And how do much I get more than I spend buying stuff?

[best bulliet target]

buy the more exspensive stuff like towns or villages or even weathers, (depends on your cap size). and yes you just buy,

Remember the convesion ratio. That's the amount you get back. while the other one is how much it's taking from the totall ammount while the last number is what you gain back.

So 9000 is taken from your cap even size and that is X by 2-3 (depends on upgd) and you get 18000 or 27000 back per sec back.
nearly doubling your value but at the cost of your time. and since it's an idle game the more income you get the faster you can atuo buy the bigger stuff ( just don't atuo right away it's 20% more)

[best bulliet target]

capacaty: T-Max (how much it can handle) / T-total (how much you) [ADD] you press it to add
time to empty : HH.MM.SS self explained right :p
divinty covetion: Z (how much your return is mutiplied by)
convetion/s: Y (how much is taken from T-total)
divinty/s: income (it's YxZ and slo the value you get back)
workers: number (they fill stone's nothing else)

but buy stuff then press the ADD button and try to keep it at mx do not be creating stone your self just go for achivements and just buy in the creation menu to sell in the Divinty generator

Are the upgrades for the Divinity Generator permanent (also after rebirth), or only for the run? It seems to take ages to even upgrade once, and I will not do that if not permanent...

[best bulliet target]

only for the run. But they are also reduced by the building speed. so your momuments and generator's upgrades timers are lowered. And also later your plantet timers (but that's way later :p)

[CherryKiss]

thanks for this thread! I'm just about to get my divinity generator so I'm looking forward to seeing all this soon

The reason why I brought up stones was mainly due to the bonus Divinity you gain if you add Worker Clones to the Generator. Adding other things is fine but if you want a bonus you'll need to have a heap of Stone with a bunch of Worker Clones.

The more Worker Clones you have the faster your Stone is carried to the Divinity Generator.
As its default Capacity is 10 trillion it's a rough start and you'll need to spend a lot of Stone to reap the benefits.

100 million Stone isn't a lot. You'd need a couple of billion atleast.

As I said before, your Generator needs to be capped on Capacity / In use (IE: 10 trillion / 9.999 billion) in order for the bonus to kick in. Just buy the more expensive creations (On my first few runs I mainly bought Mountains and Forests and then upgraded to Villages and Towns all the way down the list) as early on the bonus you gain from additional Worker Clones is neglectable.

What he said basically.
Early on, depending on your clone cap, don't spend too much time upgrading them. Just get your Rebirth multipliers going (And be sure to Rebirth once you got a good number going. I usually Rebirthed when I had 10-15 times my current multipliers at the start and ramped it up to 50 times a couple of times). As you get higher it'll slow down somewhat.

i can't check the bonus from the workers since i'm in a DDRC and havn't gotten to div yet, but then again i don't toss workers in it since i got most of em all over the place and try to keep 80-95% for upgrading or for killing UB and only add stuff into it. cant see the idea of a few % when the is upgrads and stuff form em to kill. and it seems to be faster to do the speciels then hav more then 1/2 of your clones working the generator. but i might look into it when i turn the game off might bee a good thing to hav when waking up in the morning.

In general while still fighting the gods, I would get the upgrades for Divinity conversion and conversion speed, but not bother with capacity as long as I could keep a good supply of stones present for my clones. I usually tried to get 1 or 2 levels each rebirth, and that would let the generator work fast enough that I could buy the creations for the later monument Upgrades.

In general, don't bother buying the monument upgrade stuff until you can keep a consistent strong supply of stones flowing into the generator.
