Extreme guide

## Premise

The premise is how I usually play this Mode and NOT how to complete this as fast as possible

Extreme Mode can be activated by selecting "Extreme" in the Modes section of the Options tab

## Early Game

### Ranks & Rank Cheapeners

You may notice that there is a new mechanic in the Main tab: Rank Cheapeners

Rank Cheapeners as shown in the description reduce the rank requirement formula, since Ranks are always at its first Scaling.

Just do Rank resets and Rank Cheapener resets and here's a rule of thumb, usually Having equal amounts of Ranks and Rank Cheapners cancel the effects of Rank Scaling for early game.

### Tiers

For Tier 1 and Tier 2 they require 1 more Rank than in Normal Mode and Tiers reset Rank Cheapeners. That is the only notable change in for Tiers.

### Rockets

Rockets now require 1 Mm of distance instead of 50 Mm. Rocket effect is also lower as the Rocket Fuel Effect is negative

## Furnace

### Rocket Fuel

Just do a Rocket reset every time until you have 10 Rockets, once you have 10 Rockets, make sure to do a Rocket reset with atleast 4.

Once you have 36 Rockets don't get a Rocket Fuel yet, get a run where the amount of Rockets you gain will be greater than 10, then get a Rocket Fuel, then do a Rocket reset.

1 Rocket Fuel will just remove the negative effects, but you may notice that the requirement for the next Rocket Fuel is lower than in Normal Mode. Also once you have 1 Rocket Fuel you will unlock The Furnace.

### The Furnace

The Furnace has 2 resources: Coal and Blue Flame. Coal is generated based on your Rocket Fuel (Every Rocket Fuel doubles Coal gain) which is used to purchase 3 upgrades: 1. Coal is multiplied by 3 (after Extreme Mode reduction). 2. Gain a Free Rank Cheapener. 3. Double Rocket gain

Blue Flame is a prestige layer of The Furnace resetting Coal and Coal Upgrades and gain 1 Blue Flame which reduces the cost scaling of Coal Upgrades.

Get as many upgrades as you can and do a Blue Flame reset whilst also getting as many Rocket Fuel, do this until you reach Time Reversal

## Time Reversal

### Notable Changes

Once you reach Time Reversal, you will notice that there are 5 more upgrades on the bottom row. This helps to speed up progression

### Time Reversal Section

Now Reverse Time, then get the TR Upgrade 16 which gives boosts Time Cube gain based on Coal (which is a resource that is also being lost over time). Now that you have the upgrade, make sure that if you have 0 Coal stop Reversing Time and wait for about 4-10 seconds then Reverse Time again.

Do this until you can get TR Upgrade 17 which makes Time Cubes boost Blue Flame Effect and make Rocket Fuel no longer reset Rockets. Now grind for a lot Rockets to get as much Rocket Fuel as you can, also don't forget to buy as many Coal Upgrades and do Blue Flame resets.

Now we can go back to buy TR Upgrade 1 which makes Rank & Tiers boost Time Cube gain, then get TR Upgrade2 which makes Time Cubes boost Time Speed and then get TR Upgrade 18 which makes Rank Cheapeners boost Time Speed which intern boosts Time Cube gain. Then get TR Upgrade 3 making the rank requirement formula 10% slower.

It is recommended that you have upgraded your Automation for Rank, Rank Cheapener and Tier bots to automate them.

Purchase TR Upgrade 3 which boosts Rocket gain based on Time Cubes then skip straight ahead to TR Upgrade 7 which makes achievements boost Time Speed (right now the effect is roughly 4) then buy every single TR Upgrade.

## Collapse

### Notable Changes

Even though it does unlock at 1 Mpc, you actually need about 1 uni of distance to get a Cadaver. You will also unlock 5 more new TR Upgrades once you Collapse.

### Collapse Section

Once you have a Cadaver convert it into Life Essence then do everything said previously until you get more Cadavers. You should not convert these into Life Essence until you are about to do another Collapse reset.

Do this repeatedly until you have Milestone 7, 8, or 9, which you should grind for TR Upgrade 21 which automates the furnace which can be seen in the Automation tab. Then get all Milestones

## Pathogens

### Grind

Once you reach this section, you will have to grind for 1e6 Cadavers. The optimal (not perfect) strategy is to go to the Time Reversal Tab, activating Time Reversal, deactivate Time Reversal, then do a Collapse reset for roughly 5000 Cadavers. Then change it so that when you do a Collapse reset you get 1e4 Cadavers after 5-10 resets. At this point it is not worth it to convert your Cadavers into Life Essence to boos Cadaver gain. Do this roughly 100 times until you unlock Pathogens

## That's it for now?

Currently I am done making this guide for now so if you would like to leave your own ways on how to speed up some parts of progression and more detailed descriptions of sections. Please do contribute
