The consensus seems to be to take Transcendence to get from TT10 to 14. That’s what I did 2yrs ago, getting close to TT24 now. In the late game Compendia seem the way to go, to boost your science to insane levels. Which sounds nice, but I don’t have enough Chronospheres for that yet. Last year I was in a strange game state because of a true 40k run, so I picked burned paragon. Due to limited time to play actively, that run is still ongoing (true year 56442 atm :D), but I plan to reset soonish.
So, my question now is: What’s the best mid-game pick? I’m considering:
Everything else seems irrelevant (e.g. +2k TC, when I have many tens of millions) or impossible (e.g. Metaphysics, which are already unlocked). Unless there is some obvious choice I’m overlooking.
Apparently I was the one who misunderstood it. My brain misplaced where the parenthesis existed so I read the wiki as I described it, but looking at the code was much more clear, it is as you describe and is a much better bonus. The wiki is also correct, I just made the mistake.
That could potentially be a good idea to go for then. I’m debating going for it as well, as Karma is not something I ever paid much attention to but over the almost decade of playing this game I am only sitting at 600 or so, around 925k karma kittens. It looks like adding 625k karma kittens would only bump me up to about 788 karma, but also that is years upon years of karma. I can get 1500 burned paragon fairly easily by doing one run, but that would require burning all my paragon (around 11k, burned is at 17k). This is kind of a weird choice.
