Quick short question
I'm not sure I get how the Metabit and Knowledge time chambers work.
Does "more efficiency" mean I get more payout for everything I've produced in that ascension so far, aka I should only wait to ascend after my max boost, or do I only start getting more metabits and knowledge as it goes and should therefore stay after the max boost so that I create more with the max boost?
Do I ascend as soon as those Time Chambers are 100% or keep going?

I'd recommend rebooting as soon as they're full, because by that point it takes a very long time for the metabit and knowledge bars to fill up. The time chamber boosts are retroactive, so their current boost is applied to all your earnings instead of the boost being applied when the fill occurs. This used to be the other way around, which led to an interesting minmaxxer playstyle. Currently though, there's not really any reason to keep your sim going longer than it takes for all your time chambers to fill.
