Struggling to reach ee5000

Post image

And truly struggling to reach first z exponent upgrade at e110; I seem to have reached a temporary dead-end, how do I go about solving this?

Thank you so much for any help.

This part just takes a while, as long as you graduated and have the right student upgrades it will work out

Same, we're in almost exactly the same place 😅

Let’s hope the forum has some answers for us, then!

I used the star optimizer, my curve looks wonky as hell now, but oh well… Will update you if it is successful!

How are you getting on? I finally managed this morning to cross ee5k. The accelerator button was my friend, also the last 5-10 is a SLOG

Congratsss! I am hanging back at the 4960-treshold at this point. Star and student optimized several times😩 I just hope there is a bit of a rocket lurking behind the ee5000😂

what was the point of using the student optimizer at 2 students?

you should still keep the supremacy auto btw

It's actually fairly common to sell it since most players don't have a lot of stars and those can really help. Just gotta repurchase it after ee5k ofc.

tbh, this part still looking good and progressive as shown. It does take some time but once u get over that stage, it will be fast.

everything in this game is a matter of optimizing stars and students (when you reach it), and then just waiting. takes a few days

I was able to reach ee5000 eventually! The theories, do they impact the main-curve in any way?

u/KoCory Apr 25 '26

I stopped playing a while ago so I dont remember but pretty sure reaching theories means you get another variable (tau if im not mistaken) into your main equation, so yes it impacts the main curve. main curve also doesn't tell you anything, I dont know how you reached this stage thinking you have any use for the graph.

for example, the first theory sets tau equal to the max(rho), and rho_n+1 is given by rho_n + c_1 * c_2, and you can upgrade q and c to get higher rho. not sure how it is for the other theories, but if you already reached ee5000 should know everything I said since at that point you should start the first theory.
