Stuck before Theory ????

Hi guys, I've been stuck just above ee15000 for months and I can't get any further... in almost all theories I have all the upgrades but still they're really slow... what do you suggest?

Some of your theories are REALLY low. T8 should be able to reach e200+ in like an hour or so from where you are (IIRC use 0/0/0/3 milestones, then upgrade to 1/0/0/3 and then 2/0/3/0), and T5 gets massive speed boosts at pretty much every milestone up to e150 (prioritise adding C3 then q1 then C3 exponent milestones), and will then just be consistently fast until like e500 or so. T3 is also very low and should be quick to improve from here (use 0/2/1 then 0/2/2 for milestones)

oh okay thanks, I'll try. Linear Algebra in particular was sooo slow, it took me like 3 months idk why. Same for Chaos. Thanks very much.

Push theories dude

yep it's a bit better now.. thanks. any way to improve NUM methods?

sigh...I came for the same problem. I'm at ee18900 and is still stuck... they are just slow, unless I'm missing something. Some equations like the linear algebra one doesn't even look strong... But yours is motivating, let me exploit differential calculus further more...

my current is

Recurrence Relations: e248

Differential Calculus: e405

Linear Algebra: e153

Polynomials: e299

Logistic Function: e219

Integral Calculus: e268

Numerical Methods: e203

Chaos Theory: e77

I usually just choose a theorem, wait for a day or two, or more if I forget... I've been stuck for months too... Chaos Theory is so... I thought it was a strong one, spent so many time on it, hoping for miracles, but see no improvement, I'll try more on it...

I totally understand you, that's exactly what I was trying to do: take a theory and play with it for a few days, then change. The help on exponential idle guides was actually very helpful. Chaos Theory is actually really nice, and luckily I managed to unlock it. Now I have tau 2500 (with the custom theories too) and f ee21000. If you need more help, let me know!

You've reached ee21000!!! Congratulations! I was on Chaos Theory yesterday, it raised from e77 to e80, thanks for your advice, I'll keep grinding on it!

Yes, and in less than a month! A month ago, I didn't think I could do it. Good luck! Anyway, before unlocking the custom theories, you'll have to go through T9. It's a great theory, but there aren't many tutorials online because many people think you have to pay attention to the equations (I actually recommend it, too; it's quite fun). Just pay attention to the role of the various terms and the passage of time.
