Revolution Idle: Infinity Guide

This guide covers first infinity, upgrades, generators, infinity challanges, and stars.

Revolution Idle: Infinity Guide

Infinity Overview

Promotions (Hotkeys 1–4): Resets everything (colors, ascensions, prestige) but boosts specific stats:

• #1: Multiplier
• #2: Lap speed
• #3: Ascensions
• #4: Powers up the other three
• Promotions don’t reset until Infinity is reached.

First Infinity

Not difficult but very slow at the beginning. Buy colors and ascend as available. Use hotkey “B” to avoid constant clicking. All hotkeys mentioned are default and can be changed in Options.

Note: This guide assumes no purchases from the shop (not even daily rewards) and uses Scientific notation. Based on timing, achievement bonuses likely apply only after your first Infinity.

Grab Achievement #005:
Achievement #005 “Check the Dev” – Just click the “Credits” tab.

Because Prestige and Promotions cause a reset, you want the bonuses to be worth the penalty of the reset. But you also don’t want to wait too long to get the bonus. Some generalized recommendations:

First Prestige: The ingame “Help” recommends when the multiplier is x10. I use this x10 increase up to 1 million. (10 > 100 > 1000 > 10,000 > 100,000 > 1 million). From there you generally want the multiplier bonus to be at least x1000 of your previous amount (1 million > 1 trillion…..1e12 > 1e15 > etc). As your promotions get stronger, it will start to speed up and your prestige after promotions will be much higher and it will increase much faster.

First Promotion: The ingame “Help” recommends #1 Multiplier gain at x6 which would be level 3. This will be when your P. Mult is at about x13k so be patient and wait for it. After that there is some flexibility, you just want the bonus to be worth the reset. I do #1 again at lvl 8 followed by #2 at lvl 10, then back to #1 again at lvl 20 and lvl 30. Starting to speed up now, #3 at 30, #2 at 40, #1 and #4 at 50. Just promote what you want at this point. It should be no less than a 10 level increase and you’ll get to the end before long.

My final lvls: #1 at 80, #2 at 40, #3 at 70, and #4 at 50 and just ride it out to the end. Probably not the fastest, but it will get you there.

Note: While it’s not hard to get some of Achievement #’s 021, 025, 026, 029 during your first Infinity, I prefer just to get through this Infinity as they are much easier in the future with less clicking.

Congrats! First Infinity complete.

Checkpoint: Not important but for reference: My first Infinity time was 12 hrs 7 min.

A new Infinity tab unlocks with Upgrades and Generator subtabs. You received your first Infinity and an Infinity Point (IP). Yes, they are different and some upgrades provide bonuses based on the number of Infinities, others provide bonuses based on the number of current IP. All upgrades and generators are bought with IP. Now you can buy the first upgrade which allows automation for buying colors. Save your fingers, go into the new Automations tab on the right, and turn all colors on at 100%.

I recommend turning Off Infinity animations in Options so when complete it will immediately start the next run. Continue doing the Infinities and buying more upgrades and generators when you can afford them. Your second infinity you should notice that it goes much faster and you can do fewer prestiges and promotions, which saves considerable time.

If you haven’t done them already, now is a good time to start getting the achievements that require a little more than normal gameplay. I just do one of these achievements per Infinity, but that’s up to you. You can also do them later if you choose.

#021 “You don’t need it. Promote without Prestiging“. Leave promo #4 at lvl 1 otherwise play the Infinity as normal (including prestige). When Infinity progress is around 50% do any #1-3 promotion followed by promotion #4 without prestiging in between them.

#025 “Only three, Prestige with only 3 colors“. Same strategy as #021. Play as normal until progress bar is around 70-90%. Turn OFF autobuyers and don’t use Hotkey “B”. Promote any #, then only buy first three colors, Prestige as soon as available.

#026 “Easy Prestige. Promote without Prestiging and Ascensions” Same strategy as achievement #021 above. When you’re ready, turn OFF Ascension autobuyer (if you have it), do any #1-3 promotion, buy colors but don’t prestige or ascend, do promotion #4 when available.

#029 “Backwards, Make White mult > Pink mult >Purple mult, etc.” The colored numbers at the top of the screen are the multipliers referred to. White needs to be the biggest, and Red the smallest. When you are getting close to the end of the Infinity, turn OFF all color and ascension autobuyers except White. Prestige (not promote) to reset the colors and keep the high P .multi, then quickly unlock each color. When you get to White work your way back up buying decreasing amounts for each color. Don’t buy Red at all. Check the numbers at the top and buy more of whatever is needed. You may even need to Ascend some colors. You can mouse over the colors to see what the multiplier is per revolution as well. This helps determine if you need to buy more of a certain color. It’s actually easy to do, but don’t feel bad if it takes a couple times to get the hang of it. If you feel you messed it up or it’s taking too long, just finish the Infinity and try again on the next run or buy more upgrades to help before the next try.

Some important upgrades to note:

Upgrade 2:2 unlocks Automation for Ascensions so go ahead and turn them all on.

Upgrade 5:3 unlocks Automation for Prestige. I always set Min P. Exponent gain to 0, so can’t really say if it might be useful. I set Min P. Mult Gain to 1000. The Time is how long it will run after it reaches the target amount which can be useful, but not really right now. So for now I set it to 0-1000-0. It will get the job done but you still need to do promotions and probably a few prestige before you want the auto x1000. At this stage in the game, it is more efficient doing them yourself, so setting it On or Off is up to you.

Upgrade 7:1 unlocks Infinity Challenges.

Infinity Challenges

Infinity Challenges: These improve your IP gain per Infinity. Each completed challenge adds a +1 Multiplier to your IP gain per Infinity up to x10 when all challenges are completed. Once all challenges have been completed, several upgrades also provide bonuses based on your total challenges time. For this reason, you will want to reduce these times as much as possible as you buy more upgrades and generators. Once all challenges have been completed at least once, you will also be able to break Infinity which will enable much, much better IP gains.

Note that until all challenges have been completed at least once, the Challenges time sum in statistics is meaningless. You can also exit a challenge by clicking on it x3.

Using Time Flux during the longer challenges can really be helpful to speed them up. But you should probably turn it off when you are getting close to the end so that it finishes correctly. Not saying that it won’t finish correctly, but why risk it?

Challenges #1-2: Not much to say, Due to the penalties, they will be a little slower than normal Infinity but not a whole lot.

Buy the 10 IP Generator.

Challenge #3: This will be slower than the first two. Use Time Flux if you want to speed it up.

Buy upgrades 8:1-3 at a minimum before continuing with challenge #4. At this point you should be doing Infinities in 3-5 mins for 8 IP so it doesn’t take that long. I prefer to spend extra time to get the next set of generators (100 IP each) but that’s up to you.

Challenge #4: Nothing really to say here, except it’s even slower. Time Flux if you want.

If you haven’t already, buy either upgrade 9:1 or 9:2, and 10:1 which unlocks automation for Promotions. Finally! Set up automation so you can take a break. This setup should get you an infinity approx. every 1 min 10 secs. Feel free to make it faster.

NOTE: I do not use promotion automation during challenges, so any automations listed are not designed for challenges.

Automate Prestige 0 – 1000 – 0

Automate Promote:

• #1 +6 Lv 0 s
• #2 +22 Lv 0 s
• #3 +35 Lv 0 s
• #4 (or any) +500 Lv 0 s (This is to stop it from repeating and let the prestige carry it to the finish).

I like to farm here for about an hour and buy Upgrades 9:1-2 (if you skipped either), and 11:1-2. These increase in power based on current IP.

Challenge #5: Promotions are extremely weak and do basically nothing. Turn off your Promotions and let auto prestige take it to the end. Easy and fast compared to earlier challenges.

Challenge #6: If you took the time to farm earlier, this will be a breeze. If not, it can be a very slow start.

Challenge #7: Slow in the beginning. By the end, Promotions should overpower the penalty without much trouble.

Time to farm some more upgrades up to 14:1-2 and generator. Should be getting about 1 IP/s now. None of the column 15 upgrades will help so no need to get them yet.

Challenge #8: No Ascensions. Promotion #3 does nothing so don’t use it. About 100 levels of the other promotions should get it done.

Challenge #9: A long slow grind. About 110 levels of all promotions and ride it out.

Challenges Complete!

Reference: Still not really important yet. My total challenges time: 8 hrs 22 mins.

Infinity Breaking

A new “Break Infinity” appears at the bottom of the challenges tab. Broken Infinity allows you to go beyond Infinity which adds a multiplier to your IP gain. With each progress bar beyond infinity gradually increasing up to x10 when full. A 50% full bar would still give x5 multiplier. Above the progress bar you will see a new bar, click on it to Claim that amount of IP and reset the run. Unfortunately it’s still not super useful right now but will be very soon. Feel free to check it out.

At this time, I still recommend unbroken Infinity since it will give about the same IP/s and also increases your Infinity count (for the upgrades that use that stat for their bonus). I used this setup to buy upgrades 15:1-4 starting with 15:2

Prestige 0 – 1000 – 0
Promote
#1 +7 0s
#2 +18 0s
#3 + 500 0s
Gives about 2.5 IP/s. (approximately an hour to buy all 4 upgrades)

Now that you have those, it’s time to re-run all the challenges to get the total time reduced. The faster your times are the more it can boost 15:3-4 which is a key part of broken infinity runs, along with other upgrades based on Challenge times that you will be getting soon.

Note: From now on, any time you want to reduce challenge times, turn off automation for prestige and promotions, they will almost certainly slow you down (#9 can still be rough so automation is ok for now). Make sure Infinity is not broken (challenges won’t finish if it’s broken), and get those times down. With that done, It’s time to break Infinity for real.

Checkpoint: New Challenges time sum should be around 1 hour.
*Reference, mine was 1 hour 5 min.

Automation setup for broken Infinity:
Prestige 0 – 1000 – (time anywhere from 0 – 0.10) The reason why you might want a delay is to give it a little extra time to buy more all at once. This reduces the total number of Prestiges which might save some time. I use 0.00 but feel free to experiment and use what you like.

Promotions:
#2 +10 1s (I like Lap Speed first, but it probably doesn’t make much of a difference).
#1 +10 1s
#3 +10 1s
#4 +10 1s

The 1 second delay here IS important. It keeps them about the same level. Without it, you can have one promotion that’s 50+ levels above the others and that’s not good. You want balance.

Automate Infinity: (Unlocked with 15:1 upgrade only works with Broken Infinity)
This is where you will make most adjustments from now on. “Min IP”: This is the amount set where it will automatically claim and restart. “Time”: I don’t really know how this is supposed to work. I tried various things to try and test it but results were inconsistant so…. I just leave it at the default .05

For your first Broken Infinity run leave Automate Infinity OFF. You want to watch it until Auto prestige and promotions basically stop going full speed. Click on the “Infinite for xx IP” and note the amount or check statistics for the total claimed as well as IP/s. The total IP claimed is the number you should put into automate Infinity and now turn it ON and let it farm.

*Reference: Mine at this point was 700 IP in 1:50 for 6.41 IP/s

Common Mistake Don’t let it run for hours thinking it will be a huge IP reward. It’s a complete waste of time right now.

Buy the next set of Upgrades starting with 16:1-3.
Each time you buy an upgrade, see if you can improve on the IP gains the same way as above. Very quickly you should see a big difference. Buy the Generators for 10k each.

Run the Challenges again to further reduce the time.

*Reference: My time is now 15 min 33 sec (a nice improvement)

You should again check to see what to set auto Infinity to. Set it and farm IP to buy the generators for 100k each and…. Re-run the challenges. At this point you should try to get Challenge times under 10 mins. If you have trouble with that, build up your reserve IP to boost Upgrades 11:1-2.

*Reference: My Challenge time sum now 6 mins.

Infinity Broken

Instead of checking your IP gains like previously, this time just go ahead and set your auto Infinity amount to 1.1e6, which just so happens to be the cost of the next upgrade, plus a little extra. In about 20-30 mins check on it and see where it’s at. If it didn’t auto claim yet, use your own judgement if you want to claim it and reset or let it auto finish out. Once you buy one upgrade, you can increase the amount about x2 and repeat. Buy upgrades 17:1-3 followed by the generators.

And WOW! That’s a high inflation to the next set of upgrades.
Better try to get your challenge times under 3 mins.

Buy the next sets of generators on the way to the upgrades.

Probably the “correct” way to reach the next set of upgrades is either turn OFF auto Infinity or Set it very high and do a run for 30-40 mins (set a timer or something) then claim IP. Do next run for 50-60 mins and compare the IP/s. If the 50-60 min run had higher IP/s, then do an even longer run and compare that IP/s. Keep doing this until you find the “optimal” spot. Set your auto Infinity to that amount. Or set a timer for a specific time. It would be really nice if the time on auto Infinity worked for this purpose, but it doesn’t seem to, or if it does I never could get it to work that way consistently.

If you go with a specific time, you will notice your claimed IP and IP/s increasing each run. If you set a specific target amount, you will notice your Time decreasing and IP/s increasing each run. I find that about 60-90 mins is a decent time for a while both for IP/s and stopping to buy more stuff.

Whatever method you choose, it’s a little bit of a grind for upgrades 18:1-3 but shouldn’t be too bad if you get your challenge times under 1 minute.

Continue to use the same process to keep buying upgrades and generators. After several upgrades/generator purchases do the challenges again. Rinse and repeat.

When you buy the final upgrade, a new Infinity sub-tab unlocks for…

Stars: Simply produces Stardust.

Stardust: Multiplies Generators and can be used to buy Stardust Upgrades. Stardust resets when you claim IP so try to buy upgrades before the reset.

There’s really nothing different from what you’ve already been doing, keep buying stars and stardust upgrades and generators.

When you reach 1.79e308 IP, you can “eternate”. When it’s available it will appear above the “Infinite for xx IP” bar (You probably will have have to first claim the IP for the Eternity to appear). If your prestige is still going you may see it blinking, if you have trouble clicking it, turn off the automation.

Congratulations! You have just received your first Eternity and Eternity Point (EP). Just like Infinity and Infinity Points, these are two separate things.

*Reference: Not important but my first Eternity time was 3 days 20 hrs.
