Revolution Idle Dilation Guide
Revolution Idle Dilation mechanics introduces additional negative multipliers for the Dilation runs. It is unlocked when all the Animals are bought and resides in a separate Eternity tab. You can start and finish Dilation run at any time, and you will get Dilation Points (DP) based on the highest amount of Score reached.
This guide is part of Revolution Idle Guides series, where you can find the rest of the guides on the game.
When you enter a Dialtion you will have a list of penalties (negative multipliers) that will be effective during the run:
- Power: /25
- Gen Exp: /1,000
- Star Exp: /100
- Ascend Pow: ^0.10
- Laps Speed: ^0.10 then /10
- IP Gain: ^0.01
Those negative multipliers can be softened using the Dilation Upgrade #1. It is essential to lower them to ensure smoother experience during Dilation runs.
Dilation Walkthrough[edit source]
For your first Dilation Run it's recommended to do a quick run for 10 minutes or maybe even less and exit the Dilation. It will allow to start farming Dilation Points over time and do Dilation Upgrades as well.
Your first Dilation runs will be very slow and will require a bit of micromanagement. Make sure to turn off Autoascend for red and do it manually, just like we did in the Beginners Guide. You can use some Time Flux for the speed ups or time warps to get the faster start.
Reset only when you can get a bigger Max Score. My personal favorite is aiming for x1.5 Max Score each Dilation run, but sometimes lower numbers are fine as well. Try to aim for the highest max score you can get. Rule of thumb is if your Score stop rising fast enough, it's time to reset Dilation run.
Once you will reach Infinity things will get faster. Keep in mind that currently You will not get additional IP with Time Flux speed ups and time warps.
Even though you are getting Infinity Points automatically now, if you can make efficient IP resets under 1 second that will speed the things up. Experiment with automation settings and see if it works for you.
At this point you will do following runs cycle:
- Start a Dilation
- Build up, activate Auto Infinity, build up IP for Generators and Infinity Upgrades that are reachable in first 5-10 minutes
- Turn off Auto Infinity, let generators and multipliers to build up, increase Slowdown when it helps. Get maximum Score
- Leave Dilation
- (Optional) Build up some Eternities with Eternity Reset automation on 1
- (Optional) Attempt another Supernova run, try to finish the Challenges
When deciding between Dilation Upgrade #1 and #2 it's recommended to get upgrade #2 early on, since you are still building up anyway, and #1 when you are in a Score Buildup phase, so it will allow to push further and get higher Max Score. But overall, just buy what's available for you right now.
Eventually you will build up enough Score and Dilation Points Income to start buying Dilation Upgrades 4. At that stage you should be able to do additional Supernovas.
