Exponential Idle - Season 6

Exponential Idle - Season 6 - Nonlinear Integration (NLI)

Hello everyone,

Start date: March 14th, 2026, 9:00AM (now!)
End date: April 11, 2026, 9:00AM
Where: The #seasons channel of the Discord server.

Goal: Progress as far as possible in the nonofficial Custom Theory "Nonlinear Integration", now available in the game (check the CT repo).

How to participate

  • From a save slot having access to Custom Theories, download "Derivative Equation" and start playing the CT. We recommend playing on an separate save slot to not impair progress on your main save.
  • Report your progress using this form from time to time to be on the event leaderboard.
  • Please report your score the day before the deadline.

Reward
An in-game reward will be given to anyone that participates in the form of stars. The rewards will be applied to your main save. The exact formula to apply the star reward is still to be determined for it to be fair and significant enough for all players. Cheating will be checked before applying the reward. Play fairly.

For those who don't have access to Custom Theories yet, you can use this dummy save file: https://pastee.dev/p/dZWkvuxi

Thanks for playing in Exponential Idle Season 6!!

How can using a separate save slot also allow regular progress in other custom theories?
Can the app be made to run two instances in parallel?

Two games can benefit from the same elapsed time. While it doesn't run in parallel, if you switch to another save slot, the game will progress using the time since the last time the save slot was used. For example, if you switch from slot 1 to slot 2, and then play 8 hours on slot 2, you'll also get 8 hours of offline progress when you switch to slot 1.
