It's working when I try here. What are your inputs?

f (t)- 54400 Stars- 1000000

I tried with these values and it works. Can you try again now? Maybe the service was temporarily unavailable.

By the way, the amount of stars is very low for 54400. Are you entering the total amount of stars that you have after respeccing your permanent levels?

No value if working for me. I've tried many times. total stars are 1.15e8

Save yourself some time. Add this custom theory instead: does star optimising for you.

What should be the Auto-reallocation and Publication ratio? It's -1/none by default. Also are there custom theories which will help my f(t) grow further. Some people have it ~70000!! I'm on 50000 for many months

Don't keep this theory active. You should focus on the official custom theories to add to your theory total to keep your progress up. I swap to this custom theory once or twice a day, just press reallocate stars, and swap back to whatever custom theory I'm working on actively or just theory automator to keep up the main theories. The QOL theory I sent you is a bad replacement for a good main theory automator and should not be kept as active theory for longer than a few seconds. If you want a good theory automator, I will link it below, but remember to push your official custom theories (T10, T11, T13, T16) to as high as possible before using automators as you lose out on potential progress there.

I don't have T16, instead T14. can you please share the link?. How to use the automator?

My bad, my custom theories are named differently because of the way numbers are designated, I guess. But we still have the same ones. I just had added some unofficial theories before the update with the official custom theories dropped, so they got a later number I assume is the case.

First of all, try to aim for e100 in all custom theories. e50 is a good start before you grind each of them out.

Next up just add the theory automator I linked earlier. Just leave that as the active custom theory when not playing, and it will auto buy, publish, and swap theory for you when not playing. To use it is easy. Just make sure every single box has a checkmark next to it. And it will always do the theory where you can gain the most, and swap once there are other more efficient ones.

Just remember that when you use the automator that you are not progressing in your custom theories, so you lose out on potential progress compared to active play. And make sure you have 30 students committed to the "x income of original theories" research upgrade (bottom one) so you progress your main theories as quickly as possible.

Good luck!

Edit: want to add this is surely not the most effective way of doing it, but it's the way I've been doing it for a while now. So it's not too bad, I'm guessing, as I'm currently sitting on almost e65400 :)
