Overview

This comprehensive guide provides a detailed, step-by-step plan for approaching the First Singularity in the game context described. It covers preparatory strategies, codes and replenishable resources, early and late-game planning, Corruptions, and the progression through C11 to C14, including end-goals, numbers, and optimal sequences. It also includes guidance on obtaining Golden Quarks (GQ), leveraging cube flames, managing Platonics and Hypers, and optimizing offering runs, Obtainium, and Tesseracts for peak performance. The guide references several game mechanics such as autos, autosacrifices, and per-singularity bonuses, as well as recommended practices for exporting progress and avoiding common pitfalls.

Key themes include maximizing GQ gains efficiently, sequencing Ascensions and Corruptions, exploiting daily and replenishable codes, and coordinating artifact and rune upgrades to reach target milestones. It also emphasizes not wasting time on suboptimal purchases, exports, and shop configurations, while outlining a path toward end-game corruption layouts and singularity progression.

The content emphasizes actionable, in-game numbers, practical tips, and explicit step-by-step orders for each phase, from pre-entering Singularity to post-Omega strategies, with a strong focus on GQ management, cube-related upgrades, and efficient resource utilization.

Pre-enter First Singularity

• Before entering First Singularity: (Relevant for v2.9.10, so don’t follow too closely)
• Have at least: (GQ = Golden Quarks) 10 + 100 GQ, spend them on “Starter Pack” + “Cookie Recipes I”
• +350 GQ > For “Shop Bonanza” (Better to buy it, right before first Ascension)
• You really want to have new Shop on 1st, but you can wait for 2nd Singularity
• Your 2nd Singularity will be much slower if you don't get on 1st, because it gives most of Income and you need to spend Quarks on it, which mostly will come closer to end
• Spend Extra GQ’s on Cube Flame (Blaze)
• In the new Permanent Shop you can buy 20-30 more levels of v.z. Pass than Ascension speed. New c10 redux only if it costs 10-20 levels of v.z.
• Don't buy in a shop 2nd Quark Hept (need 256k Quark Hept)
• Don't buy Instant Challenge 2 yet, for now spend Quarks elsewhere
• Unspent GQ give Coin bonus, but it becomes unimportant after first Ant (Coins*(1 + Unspent GQ’s)^1.5)
• (Since c11, one update kicks you out, other update doesn’t > if you can do runs inside c11, then do it, unless its past Omega - Cube or Hept run)
• Reset shop and buy Permanent upgrades, potions after (at least 500 each)
• This guide only if you didn’t bought “Level Fourteen Corruptions”
• Export game before doing any new Singularity
• Do not close or refresh game until you bought first coin building and saved (Might lose some perks until next Ascension)
• There will never be good time to buy GQ with Quarks in the shop, But if you didn't bought “Shop Bonanza”, can buy few if Can quickly get enough GQ only to buy Bonanza (Its that good)

Start > First Ascension

• Event code: none
• Codes per Singularity:
• “synergism2021” - 50 Quarks
• “Khafra” - Randomly 100 to 400 Quarks
• Replenishable: (Also don't forget to Export)
• “add” - Try to use the least of it until c12x1 or better c14x1 (c13x20 best)
• “daily” - Use once a day (Will not be reset by Singularity)
• You will getin now GQ, Multiplier to Quarks, as well some free Singularity levels
• More Free levels with higher Singularity count: “3*(S count^0,5)” Rounded down
• More Quarks with A250, A251; p1x5, p2x5, p3x5, p4x5; c15 Expo 1e18+ (GQ = 2+3S count; Quark Multiplier = 1+3S count (Max 100))
• “time” - At least 2 times in a day (Wait 2,5 seconds for best chance)
• Daily Slows down past 100k Quarks and “time” at 66666 Quarks

Ants: (Slowest part)

• Spend Quarks to increase Ant speed
