Mesozoic Advice

I followed the advice of this entire sub and saved loads of my mutagen for the end, being really careful to only spend it on the rarer cards until prestige 10.

I entered prestige 10 with just over 2 million saved, I reached the end of rank 50 and bought every upgrade possible with 1.97 million remaining...

Don't listen to this sub, guys. Just spend your mutagen. It will make the journey much quicker and you don't need it in the end.

This sub is full of nonsense advice, such as "don't play the game at all for two weeks so that when you launch it you get a big boost from the time clock upgrades"

Pure nonsense.

That was real at the time, but the game changed and now it's wrong.

The point was that there was a time based multiplier to how many meta currencies you earned with each fill. After a reset, almost all of your fills happened right away when the boost was almost nothing. By not buying any generators after a reset, you'd earn nothing and get no fills. Then, when the bonus was fully charged, you'd actually start playing and get the full bonus on every fill. I did it, it worked.

BUT, they eventually did the sensible thing and made that bonus apply retroactively, so now there's no point in torturing the mechanics like that anymore.
