Upload Labs: Too Hard to Get the 50 Entropy Points
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: I've literally tried everything, but the Portal boosts are actually slowing me down horribly and the gamespeed boost does nothing to compensate.
What you need to know
Reaching the final 50 Entropy points to finish the game presents a massive difficulty spike. Players currently find that the final grind requires immense amounts of time and resources, such as reaching extreme thresholds like 7.08Sx Alien Research for just a single point. Furthermore, running the game continuously for days or weeks is often impractical.
Step by step
- Evaluate your current progress to see how many Entropy points you currently possess and what resource requirement is needed for the next one.
- Avoid using the Portal boosts, as players report that their heavy handicaps severely slow down your progress by multiple magnitudes rather than helping.
- Ignore the gamespeed boost when using portals, because it fails to compensate for the massive slowdown caused by portal handicaps.
- Stick to the mainline path instead of experimenting with portal boost combinations, since no current combination matches your non-boosted peak performance.
- Grind the remaining points on the mainline path without enabling any boosters, despite the extremely long wait times required to reach the 50-point end goal.
Tips
- Keep in mind that there is no official fix for this progression wall yet.
- Expect extremely high resource costs, such as the Sx range for Alien Research near the end of your goal.
- Turn off boosters entirely if you notice your progress slowing down by several zeroes.
What players reported
I only need 2 more, but at that point the wait to get them is insane, and that's assuming I could keep the game running for days and weeks on end, which I cannot do. And the new "boosters" are actually making my progress several zeroes worth of slower, severely overpowering the gamespeed boost I am allegedly getting. What do I do now?
What players suggest
That's the thing I am talking about. I've literally tried everything, but the Portal boosts are actually slowing me down horribly and the gamespeed boost does nothing to compensate. Yes, I've tried several combos, but none of them get me even remotely close to my non-boosted peak.
What's the point of using them, then? Like I said, if you enable them, the handicaps greatly overpower any boost they may give you, so you actually go several magnitudes slower. Better to stay mainline and (somehow) farm the 50 Entropy points needed to get to the game's ending, right? NOTE: I am at 48/50, but the next one takes me 7.08Sx Alien Research. IDK if the game updated at some point and…
