Dilation Upgrades

Understanding and prioritizing your DP spending

Dilation Points (DP)

Dilation Points (DP) are generated passively based on your Max Score in Dilation. The formula is complex, but the simple version is: Higher Score = Exponentially More DP/s.

DP Income continues generating even outside of Dilation, so you can farm DP by doing normal Eternity runs to upgrade Lab and push Supernova while your DP accumulates. Balance time between Dilation runs and EP/Lab farming.

💡DP Income Scaling

DP Income has several scaling points:

• Softcaps at 1e15,000 Max Score
• Additional softcap around 3.3×10^35,421,9 Max Score
• After Achievement 218, gets additional exponential boost

All 9 Dilation Upgrades

There are 9 Dilation Upgrades (DU) you can buy with DP. Each can be leveled up infinitely (though some effects eventually softcap). Costs increase exponentially with each level.

Dilation Upgrade #1: Weaken Penalties

Effect: Dilation penalties weaker by 0.03 per level

Base Cost: 500 DP, increases by 1.1x per level

Priority: HIGHEST - This upgrade affects ALL penalties. The difference between 0 and 100 levels is massive. Without this, Dilation is nearly impossible. Always keep this as high as possible.

Dilation Upgrade #2: DP Income

Effect: DP Income ×1.05 per level

Base Cost: 10,000 DP, increases by 1.2x per level

Priority: VERY HIGH - Compounds your future earnings. More DP Income = faster upgrade purchases = faster progression. Essential for long-term growth.

Dilation Upgrade #3: Free Lab Levels

Effect: +3 free levels to all RP upgrades per level

Base Cost: 1,000,000 DP, increases by 1.3x per level

Priority: HIGH - Boosts Lab upgrades significantly. Important but not as critical as DU1/DU2 early on.

Dilation Upgrade #4: Power Multiplier

Effect: ×1.001 to Common Exponent (Power) per level

Base Cost: 20,000,000 DP, increases by 1.4x per level

Priority: MEDIUM - Softcaps eventually. Buy when DU1/DU2 are progressing well.

Dilation Upgrade #5: Supernova Bonus

Effect: +^0.01 to Supernova bonuses per level

Base Cost: 1e9 DP, increases by 1.5x per level

Priority: MEDIUM - Softcaps eventually. Helpful but not critical.

Dilation Upgrade #6: Generator Exponent

Effect: +0.01 to Generator Exponent multiplier per level

Base Cost: 1e10 DP, increases by 1.6x per level

Priority: MEDIUM - Becomes more useful mid-to-late Dilation when you can afford higher Infinity Upgrades.

Dilation Upgrade #7: EP Gain

Effect: ×10 to EP gain per level

Base Cost: 1e12 DP, increases by 1.7x per level

Priority: LOW-MEDIUM - Helpful for Lab growth outside Dilation, but expensive.

Dilation Upgrade #8: Ascension Power

Effect: +1.00 to Ascension Power multiplier per level

Base Cost: 1e13 DP, increases by 1.8x per level

Priority: LOW-MEDIUM - Useful but very expensive. Buy when affordable.

Dilation Upgrade #9: Lab Power

Effect: +0.01 to Lab Power multiplier per level

Base Cost: 1e16 DP, increases by 2x per level

Priority: LOW - Softcaps eventually. Most expensive, buy last.

Optimal Upgrade Strategy

General Priority Order (Early to Mid Dilation):

DU #1 (Weaken Penalties) - Always keep this maxed out relative to your DP Income. Aim for at least level 100+ early, 200+ mid-game, 400+ late-game.
DU #2 (DP Income) - Second priority. Compounds future earnings. Keep roughly half the level of DU1.
DU #3 (Free Lab Levels) - Important for Lab scaling. Buy when DU1/DU2 are progressing smoothly.
DU #4-6 - Buy these in the same price range as they become affordable. All provide meaningful bonuses.
DU #7-9 - Lower priority. Buy when you have excess DP and other upgrades are expensive.

💡Bulk Buy Settings

Set Dilation Upgrades to Max Bulk Buy instead of specific counts. This is more efficient and lets you buy as many levels as you can afford in one go.

When to Prioritize Each Upgrade

During Dilation Buildup

Focus on DU #1 - You need weaker penalties to push higher Score. DU1 should always be your highest level upgrade during active Dilation runs.

Between Dilation Runs

Focus on DU #2 - While doing EP/Supernova runs outside Dilation, invest in DP Income to accelerate future DP generation. Also consider DU #7 (EP Gain) to speed up Lab growth.

Balanced Approach

Keep DU #1 and #2 progressing together. A rough guideline: if DU1 is level 200, aim for DU2 around level 100. The exact ratio varies, but don't neglect either one.

Lab Ratios During Dilation

Your Lab setup should adapt based on your Dilation progress:

Early Dilation (DU1 under 660):

All RP in Lab #6 (Common Exponent)

Mid Dilation (DU1 660-695):

250-600 RP in Lab #5 (Gen Power Exp), rest in Lab #6

DTP 2-16:

1,000 RP in Lab #5, rest in Lab #6

DTP 16+:

All RP in Lab #6 (Common Exponent)

⚠️Don't Change Lab in Dilation!

Respeccing Lab while inside Dilation will force a reset! Plan your Lab setup before entering Dilation.

Recommended Upgrade Levels

Here are some benchmark DU levels for key milestones:

First DTP (Dilation Tree Point)

DU1: 580 | DU2: 276 | DU3: 170 | DU4: 124 | DU5: 93 | DU6: 75 | DU7: 58 | DU8: 48 | DU9: 31

EC #10 Difficulty 1

DU1: ~150-170 (worth doing earlier if you're patient)

EC #10 Difficulty 2

DU1: ~225, Lab: 1140 (all Common)

EC #10 Difficulty 3

DU1: ~325, Lab: 1450 (all Common)

EC #10 Difficulty 4

DU1: ~390, Lab: 1805 (all Common)

EC #10 Difficulty 5

DU1: ~440, Lab: 2050 (all Common)

Achievement #140 Importance

Achievement #140 becomes available at DTP 13 (Dilation Tree). This achievement makes TOP-4, MIDDLE-4, and BOTTOM-4 Dilation Tree upgrades 30% stronger, which is essential for progressing past DTP 16.

Requirements: Have at least 1 level in TOP-4, MID-4, and BOT-4. This requires 13 DTP total to unlock.

⚠️Achievement #29 Required

Achievement #140 changes the reward of Achievement #29 ("Backwards"). If you don't have Achievement #29 yet, get it now! See the Infinity guide for instructions on completing it.

🏁When You Reach Unity

Once you hit 1.08e2,466 EP, click the Eternity button to see the Unity option. Select Aries as your first Zodiac. This will reset all previous progress but provide powerful Zodiac bonuses. Congratulations - you've reached Unity!
