The­ory Strategies Ex­plained

Guide writ­ten by spqcey. Con­tri­bu­tions from every­one who has in­nov­ated new strategies and the Amaz­ing Com­munity.

Feel free to use the gloss­ary as needed.

The the­ory sim (sim­u­la­tion) we cur­rently re­com­mend was ori­gin­ally made by XLII, now main­tained by the sim team and can be ac­cessed here.

Mod­u­lus Ex­plan­a­tion #

A “%” can be seen in the table of some strategies. The “%” in­dic­ates mod­u­lus, which to sim­plify, is the re­mainder of a di­vi­sion.

So,

13 % 10 = 3

21 % 10 = 1

20 % 10 = 0

Be­cause the mod­u­lus used is mod10, and we use a base 10 num­ber­ing sys­tem, we can look at the last di­git of the level to eas­ily find the res­ult of the mod­u­lus.

So, 2145 % 10 = 5

List of Strategies #

Of­fi­cial The­or­ies #

The­ory 1: Re­cur­rence Re­la­tions #

T2MS #

T2MS is the mile­stone swap strategy for T2, which can be found over here.

T2QS #

Start the pub­lic­a­tion with mile­stones in the 1→2→3→4 or­der.

When your pub­lic­a­tion mul­ti­plier reaches a cer­tain point, switch your mile­stones to the 3→4→1→2 or­der.

The pub­lic­a­tion mul­ti­plier when you should switch is de­term­ined as fol­lows, where \(\rho\) is \(\rho\) at the end of your last pub­lic­a­tion:

• XLII, whose sim was used by rus to test T3Play2 modi­fic­a­tions, in­clud­ing the one stated above.

* An earlier ver­sion of the strategy did not buy any \(ρ_1\) vari­ables. This is only around 1% slower than the strategy shown above, which does buy \(c_{31}\) and \(b_1\) in early parts of the strategy. It’s up to you whether you think that a 1% im­prove­ment is worth it or not.

T6AI #

If you are con­fused about the “%”, read about it here.

How does \(c_2\) pur­chas­ing works ex­actly?

In the sim, the ra­tio at which \(c_2\) is bought to min(\(q_2\), \(r_2\), \(c_5\)) is defined as the term ra­tio between the \(c_5\) term and the \({c_1}^{1.15}{c_2}\) term, which equates to \({c_5}r/{​c_1}^{1.15}{c_2}\). If this ra­tio is 2, then the sim will buy \(c_2\) when 2 times cheaper than min(\(q_2\), \(r_2\), \(c_5\)).

Note: If you need to, you can idle re­cov­ery by auto­buy­ing \(q_1\) and \(r_1\) un­til the the­ory has passed its pre­vi­ous pub­lic­a­tion point. This will re­duce your rates by only ~1% re­l­at­ive to buy­ing \(q_1\) and \(r_1\) at e1 ra­tio the en­tire pub­lic­a­tion.

If there is no num­ber after T7­PlaySpqcey, then use this table:

If there is a num­ber after T7PlaySpqcey (Ex­ample: T7PlaySpqcey10 or T7PlaySpqcey100), then use this table:

While the “X” is only dir­ectly in the \(c_2\) buy­ing con­di­tion, be­cause the \(c_1\) buy­ing con­di­tion is based on the cost of \(c_2\), the “X” also in­dir­ectly af­fects how much \(c_1\) is bought.
Re­gard­less of the “X” value, the \(c_1\) buy­ing con­di­tion re­mains “When cost is 1/​10 of \(c_2\) cost”

The num­ber after T7PlaySpqcey oc­curs more at lower \(\tau\) val­ues.

Se­quen­tial Lim­its #

SLMS #

Mile­stone Swap:

The mile­stone state will be de­scribed with four num­bers. These de­scribe the pri­or­ity of the mile­stone. For ex­ample, 4→3→1→2 means you should pri­or­it­ize buy­ing fourth mile­stone levels first, then after the fourth mile­stone is maxed, then you buy third mile­stone levels, and then first mile­stone, then second mile­stone.

There are 3 mile­stone states:

State 1: 4→3→1→2 (pri­or­it­izes boost for the \(e-\gamma\) term)

State 2: 2→1→4→3 (pri­or­it­izes boost for \(\dot\rho_2\))

State 3: 1→2→4→3 (pri­or­it­izes boost for in­stant­an­eous \(\rho\) gain, aka \(\rho_2\) ex­po­nent)

This strategy swaps mile­stones de­pend­ing on how far away the next \(b_1\) or \(b_2\) up­grade is.

The goal of this strategy is:

1. Buy \(b_1\)/\(​b_2\)
2. Swap mile­stones into State 1 to fully util­ize the boost from the new \(b_1\)/\(​b_2\) up­grade.
3. After some time (the ex­act amount of time will be de­scribed later in the strategy), we want to swap to State 2. This way we boost \(\dot\rho_2\) so we get more \(\rho_2\) quicker.
4. When we are closer to the next \(b_1\)/\(​b_2\) up­grade, swap to State 3 so we util­ize the boost that we just got for \(\rho_2\). This will get us to the next \(b_1\)/\(​b_2\) up­grade a lot quicker.
5. Re­peat.
   
   

This may seem dif­fi­cult to ex­ecute, but pub­lic­a­tions in SL are 1 to 1.5 hours long after e50\(\rho\)-e300\(\rho\). This means there can be up to 5-10 minute gaps between \(b_1\)/\(​b_2\) up­grades later in the pub­lic­a­tion. You will also get used to the swap­ping ra­tios and dur­a­tion quickly be­cause of the con­sist­ent pub­lic­a­tion lengths. At the very end of pub­lic­a­tions, you will also not have to mile­stone swap, as we will use State 3 only, to get the last \(\rho\) boost be­fore pub­lish­ing.

As long as \(\rho\) < e175, we will swap between the three states, after that its just the first two states.

Note: NEVER swap into State 2 after 4.5 pub­lic­a­tion mul­ti­plier. Do State 3 in­stead for that time.

The ra­tios for swap­ping are as fol­lows, where you enter the next state when the ra­tio: \(\frac{min(b_1 cost, b_2 cost)}{\rho}\) is lower than the ra­tio provided un­der the header:

cost in the table refers to min­imum(\(b_1\) cost, \(b_2\) cost)

This may seem con­fus­ing, but let’s take the first row as an ex­ample.

In the first phase (e25\(\rho\) - e50\(\rho\)) you should have your mile­stones in State 1 un­til \(\rho\) is 1/​5 of min(\(b_1\) cost, \(b_2\) cost).
Then, swap to State 2 un­til \(\rho\) is 1/​4 of min(\(b_1\) cost, \(b_2\) cost).
After that, swap to State 3 un­til you get the up­grade.

Note: You do not have to fol­low those ra­tios ex­actly. It does not make much dif­fer­ence if you do it slightly dif­fer­ently.

The num­bers are just im­port­ant to give the idea for around where you want to swap.
e.g. in e200\(\rho\)+ range, you only want to swap when close to next \(b_1\)/\(​b_2\). and e75-e150\(\rho\) you swap very early.
These num­bers also tell you that you never want to be in State 2 for a long time.

The boost from doub­lings (\(a_1\) to \(a_2\), \(b_1\) to \(b_2\)) is rarely enough to jus­tify choos­ing this strategy over the idle strategy SLStopA.

• rus9384#1864 for \(b_1\), \(b_2\) coast­ing at 6 pub­lic­a­tion mul­ti­plier

EFAI #

When the the­ory sim­u­lator re­com­mends this strategy, it will show something like: “EFAI \(q_1\): 1223 \(q_2\): 144 \(a_1\): 382”. The levels it shows after each vari­able are the last levels you should buy them to in this pub­lic­a­tion.

CSR2XL x.xx #

The “x.xx” is re­turned by the re­com­men­ded the­ory sim­u­lator. For ex­ample, it could say “CSR2XL 2.85”, which would mean turn off auto­buy on all vari­ables at 2.85 pub­lic­a­tion mul­ti­plier.

Mile­stone Swap (pre e500\(\rho\))

Start pub­lic­a­tion with mile­stones in \(c_2\)/\(​c_2\) ex­po­nent.

Swap to \(q_1\) ex­po­nent when one of these is true:

• \(\rho\) × Ra­tio > \(c_2\) cost
• \(\rho\) × \(\frac{Ra­tio}{2}\) > \(n\) cost
• \(\rho\) × 2 > \(q_2\) cost and pub­lic­a­tion mul­ti­plier > 1

Fol­low the sim’s ad­vice for when to start coast­ing.

The “Ra­tio” stated in the \(q_1\) swap con­di­tions is de­term­ined as fol­lows, where \(\rho\) is \(\rho\) at the end of your last pub­lic­a­tion:

Mile­stone swap­ping strategy

When buy­ing a new level of q₂, swap n and m mile­stones to q₁ ex­po­nent to build up q.

Swap back to m and n when your q got mul­ti­plied by a ra­tio (since you star­ted the swap­ping phase) de­pend­ing on your q₁ lvl % 23:

Per­maSwap strategy

Be­fore reach­ing e1076ρ in your pub­lic­a­tion, do not use the 3^rd level of the g(x) mile­stone.

Upon reach­ing e1076ρ, switch a mile­stone point into the 3^rd level of the g(x) mile­stone, at the cost of re­set­ting q.
