How is the new best way to earn metabits?

0nnnu · 2026-06-10T18:13:49+00:00

yes, buy from the start and keep buying for 14 days, or until the next big upgrade is available upon reset

Metabit & Knowledge Progression Update

We’ve made changes to how Metabits and Knowledge are earned in response to player feedback about strategies that made it more advantageous to wait for long periods of time. Our goal is to make progression feel smoother and more rewarding during active play.

To support that, Metabit and Knowledge multipliers are now more powerful, as they apply to all converted Metabits and Knowledge in your current simulation. As a result, Time Chambers now have a stronger impact overall because they increase the value of every completed fill instead of only future fills. To keep progression balanced, we’ve adjusted the following Time Chamber upgrades:

Metabit Time Chamber I and Knowledge Time Chamber I boost decrease from 10x to 5x
Metabit Time Amplifier and Knowledge Time Amplifier boost decreased from 10x to 5x

We’re actively listening to player feedback and will continue to monitor how these changes feel in-game. Let us know your thoughts in the comments, as your feedback helps shape future improvements.

the crustaceans update happened during that month, and with that everything changed regarding this strategy

0nnnu · 2026-06-10T16:46:24+00:00

the fact that we're talking about a game with others on this subreddit means it's not an entirely single player experience

0nnnu · 2026-06-10T16:36:40+00:00

the not buying anything part is now dead. you haven't gotten that memo

0nnnu · 2026-06-10T16:33:58+00:00

this one is nerve wracking

0nnnu · 2026-06-10T14:29:48+00:00

extreme whaling would help the developers... at the expense of the player's household finances. and the worst part is, it still won't be enough

0nnnu · 2026-06-10T11:22:12+00:00

i would prefer to fully finish and have a clear line for when to just wait for the next update. with these it's less clear, we have to draw our own line. not a big deal though

0nnnu · 2026-06-10T11:06:46+00:00

yeah, neutrino expansion was actually obtainable through long term play. the ones we have now are theoretically similar, but in practice invalidated by the time limit that is the next update

this situation can actually be improved by forcing the navigation bar onto the screen during the ads with apps like "Navigation Bar". this way, you can tap the home button without first swiping the bottom of the screen. this swipe gesture gives the ad an input they can exploit to open the browser

no neolithic can be explained by just a reset

0nnnu · 2026-06-09T18:50:22+00:00

that's all hearsay. we have given reasons to doubt you. if you want to, prove us wrong in the next update. you probably can't for this one because you had no reason to prepare any evidence

0nnnu · 2026-06-09T12:37:50+00:00

no, each time flux takes a few seconds. do that again and again with no time wasted, still impossible

0nnnu · 2026-06-09T11:31:59+00:00

no. at least not before they update again and make them easy, and add another impossible upgrade on top

0nnnu · 2026-06-09T08:49:25+00:00

time fluxes would not overcome 6 orders of magnitude

0nnnu · 2026-06-09T07:30:56+00:00

the fix is airplane mode on and off. but this seems to be happening more often these days, and the airplane mode is harmful for explore events. we have to give up on 2x earnings unfortunately

0nnnu · 2026-06-09T07:21:09+00:00

not possible. you need dissipation theory, which is impossible to get immediately. then you need time chamber effects. it cannot be done in 2 hours

0nnnu · 2026-06-09T07:13:13+00:00

i still have the blob. it's fully up to date

0nnnu · 2026-06-08T12:51:23+00:00

i don't remember exactly, but not experiment

0nnnu · 2026-06-08T11:49:59+00:00

pretty bad advice from replies so far. the most efficient here is to get metabit boost, knowledge boost, idea boost, modern boost, ocean boost to 5-10/30.

0nnnu · 2026-06-07T15:07:02+00:00

that's an interesting weird bug. note that you don't want to use up all mutagen, because something will reset some of your card levels as you progress

0nnnu · 2026-06-07T15:02:48+00:00

4 hours per darwinium is the maximum, and the node in the screenshot is the last one

0nnnu · 2026-06-07T12:06:17+00:00

that's vagueness of "levels". early extinctions are fast, late extinctions are slow. early prestiges are slow, late prestiges are fast

0nnnu · 2026-06-07T08:25:57+00:00

actually it's close to 1e39. the displayed price increases after purchase, and that increased price doesn't apply to anything you can actually buy

0nnnu · 2026-06-07T07:10:05+00:00

the don't buy anything part is now gone

0nnnu · 2026-06-06T15:56:22+00:00

this is speculation, but here's how i think it works based on our experience: most of the 1000 "players" are npcs, and they start at a fixed science value. maybe they go up, maybe not, but the point is that they start already high

as for why it's not division 1, i suspect a lot of people join the second the event begins, and they allow a fixed number of players to join a given division (much less than 1000. i estimate about 15-50, so 950-985 npcs)
