v holy spoiler bro im still at red
is it just me or is the rainbow spice/crystalized spice stage take forever?
@jeb The offline numbers are much lower, only if you do the things mentioned, but the warning is serious.
For time-based automation at 10x speed, I'm seeing a ^0.4 to ^0.9 reduction to the numbers, which you can treat as 0% efficiency.
For goal-based automation, it's 10x fewer resets, which works out to 10% efficiency.
Later in the game you will need to farm resets. I don't know how this part is affected by offline speed.
"Heads up! Increasing offline speed or skipping
ticks may make automation less efficient"
Anyone able to tell me what that translates to in terms of value? Would the numbers be lower than if I had the game open, or higher? I assume lower but I'm not really math smart.

Also, I highly recommend everyone who plays this game learn the hotkeys asap (scroll down in settings), especially M for max all and the arrow keys to move between tabs/spices. It's also worth noting that the max all key doesn't work on your most recently acquired spice until your first full prestige. You can just hold down M and an arrow key and it'll give you a seizure, but it works!
*looks into settings, sees own name, scratching head, watches the lines changed*.... damn... i did something a real long time ago 😅 can't remember doing this anymore
good to see spice idle on galaxy finally. played this a long time ago and i am ready to play it again
so... am I doing something wrong, or is ascension speed half the time quite glacial? Like, once I start nearing the next important upgrade my pace just slows to a crawl and I need 6+ hours of idleness, if not more, to slowly crawl towards what I need
developer response: sounds like you don't have enough ascensions, which is usually the issue when progress through ascension slows down this much
the "rainbow spice boost based on times ascended" upgrade scales a lot more than you'd expect
+1 on missing the old compendium. It really gave the game a lot of character that others of the genre often lack, and I was legitimately disappointed to see it gone. I was actually hoping it would be even more detailed / fun when I saw it mentioned in the changelog lol. That being said, loving the rest of the update! A lot of great changes, especially regarding ascension. Thanks!
