#Idea tree is still progressing terribly

I already reported this a while ago in the beta of reality reboot. Since then I have left the beta and I'm now playing Reality Reboot in the main game. I still have the same complaint: The progression in the idea/knowledge tree is much worse than with the old game.

In the beginning I was not even able to buy all the upgrades for the Martian City generator. Since then I threw money at the problem, got infinity pass, put all my research chips into idea accelerating, got all Darwinium upgrades, Starter CPU, Idea Accelerator. I got time crystals and time chambers with over a week on it and I have left my computer on overnight autoclicking mars and catching all shooting stars.

Still, I only have 300 Martian Cities, (I had significantly more before reality reboot) 830 Singularity (I had over 1000 before) and my idea-to-knowledge bar is progressing extremely slowly.

My knowledge earnings seem okay now. Issue is mostly that the earnings do not result in me being able to get good progression in the knowledge part of the reality engine nor being able to buy a lot of Martian Cities.

What is the issue here?

Reference what I posted in beta before the release of Reality Reboot:

they got rid of the androids for a rework of that whole branch of the sim, and martian city was heavily reliant on those

I'm not sure there is an issue?

You're 3 levels past the end of what unlocks in the primary sim so progress will be slow until new updates give new nodes.

And we know the next upgrade is (almost certainly) going to boost the idea/knowledge side.

There's also no reason to expect the current reality engine end boss to be easily achievable in a few weeks: pre-reboot, the end-boss took a while and the Devs specifically said that they wanted to extend the gameplay arc as part of the Reality Reboot.

Having said that, the current balance between the two main playstyles is out of whack imo - but looking at the notes for the beta patch that is being addressed?

My 2 cents anyway.

I don't think it is a bug. It's more a balance issue to me. Idea tree seems far more difficult than it was.
You mention the beta patch notes. Perhaps that the v42.31 (Betabeta_icon2 ) Update will fix things once it gets released to the main game.
