CIFI E1000+MP Zeus Breakthrough Guide

This is a CIFI - Cell: Idle Factory Incremental Guide for e1000+MP Progression with The Zeus.

Badge should be just before this point 1000 -> 1020 (RoP) -> 1030 (RoL) -> 1040 (+400 milestone lvls) -> 1050 (3 big ultimas at the same time) 1000-20 (60 hours) 20-30(50 hours) (you get CM here possibly previous run) 30-40(50 hours) 40-50+(50 hours) 30-50 can be done in one run and potentially faster

Rules:

Mats are king there, this is the best resource here. Mats>AP>Shards>RP MP is just a metric, cells its a little help Don't reset if the roadmap (me)don't say to do so, if you are following this you are a bit lost but you can do whatever you want Almost all ships have enought installs for all upgrades, only Zeus lack a bit. Ask for advice if you think your loadout is wrong, and don't go very far with diminishing returns in Zeus, make sure to always have 5-10 points in all the key upgrades in Zeus) When you approach some MP target, you should try to do a test reset and see if you get to that, it could be faster than waiting to get the required number accumulated in your current run

A few other things to consider:

LR count (don't try to get past 850LR, and check pinned LR scaling message and be careful with it) (obviously high LR have some benefits, but is playing with fire, only with caution. If you are looking for advice may you don't wanna play with fire) Loadouts, balanced, shards focused, or RP focused (there are even AP focused and mats focused under some circumstance) Run duration for Zeus ranks for more mats gains Focused runs start when researches are very far apart one of each other and you can probably not get any research in a run CMs and when they are near and when to aim to complete them I present to you your next best friend If you think you are stuck, just get a good loadout for mats and let your best friend take care of you

For the following reference points consider that you should have a maxed mats special upgrade or near that and they may have changed in recent patches pacing wise.

1060 -> 1090 -> 1100 (top Ultimas) -> 1120 (RoPers) -> 1140(RoP2) -> 1160 (triplet Ultimas) -> 1200 (top Ults) -> 1225 (RoPers) -> 1260 (last triplet Ultimas and RoP3)

1060-90 (CM here) 300-500k ticks is normal 90-00 (mid) 1100-20 (long) 1120-1140 (long) another CM in here or previous 40-60 (mid) 60-badge -> 00 1200-25 (long) 25-50 (long) 50-60 (mid) 1300 1330 1350 Badge likely in this run 1380 RoP 1400-1450 worth doing shorter resets to push to the next burst. around 1450-1480 Mini burst v2 depends on research and dougie levels

Badges: (post patch) RP and Shards badge are pretty similar timing wise. Regardless of which you choose you will get the other one quite soon afterwards, likely within a week if active.

Short run= mp run, just instant loops Mid run = shards run, maybe 1-48 hours. Long run = mats run, +48 hours and main focus is to maximize mats output (obviously you will get RP and Shards in those)

Keep in mind that the next mods are the strongest and progress is mainly mats, so just look for those mods and you will have a good guess to know when you should reset.

Some Loop Reset goals. Before 2nd burst e1300 MP : 970 LR After 2nd burst e1700 MP : 1000 LR E1800 MP : 1050 LR E1880 MP : 1100+ LR

This is a very easy zone, from 1400 to around 1700, I will choose the 1400-1680 MP range and will be called mini burst or mini burst v2 Here you will burn your last CMs Mini burst happen because 9th badge, Douglet project (9th) and E25MP research

It's an easy zone so very easy to progress, no need to progress so just mess around with it and do whatever you want.

I will just leave here some random numbers and words, if you don't get it just follow @the cuddly titan secret tactic tip Burst Path 1400 1435RoS 1450 1470RoP 1480RoL 1505 1515 cm 1540 1550 1570 research 1600 1610 1645-50cm 1680

After the second burst you can easily push loop resets to 1000 if you haven't already as you approach e1800 mp. Don't push too far though as around 1100 requires you to be quite deep into the e1800's.

Rule list thanks to Babydragon RoD = Rule of Destruction RoPerse = Rule of Perseverance RotS = Rule of the Swarm RoLoy = Rule of Loyalty RotC = Rule of the Cradle RoHW = Rule of Hard Work RoL = Rule of Looping RoTM = Rule of Time Managment RoI = Rule of Infinity RoPro = Rule of Productivity RoM = Rule of Mastery RoE = Rule of Expansion Ro7 = Rule of Seven
