You should probably try to max out research 1X16, and 1X17, then work on leveling up your runes, prioritizing thrift -> dupe -> speed. Prism is pretty useless. As you are doing that, try to complete challenge 6X25 and challenge 8X3. The progress slows down considerably after challenge 8X1 so it might take a few days before you get your first ant and finish maxing out your first 'expensive' researches. You can also check out the discord they have guides in the pins on what to do if youre stuck.

Slows down? I am pretty much stuck after cost++. I did that days ago (although mostly offline since then) and was hoping that i would get further with this patch. But i am e894 particles and ants need e1200...
Neither challenge are making any headway. So it seems like i would need to wait months now to get some extra quarks, obtainium and exp for runes to somehow get further.
I was really expecting something to use at my point considering that i read from multiple people that got stuck at C6x18, c7x14 and c8x1 before the patch...

Yeah it slows down, but if youre still only at e900-ish particles even after a few days, you might be doing something wrong. What are your rune levels at?

470, 385, 202, 263 and 75 now. As is said: exept for loging in for the quarks upon saving, upgrading runes and research i didnt do much while waiting for this patch.

Oh maybe that's the problem. If you were only logging in for brief moments at a time, you may not have had a chance to get more particles. To get more particles, you usually have to grind for a bit specifically for them. The offline progress for particles isn't that good becuase you have to make sure you are buying the reincarnation upgrades after every reincarnation to make sure you get more particles next time. Also make sure you aren't auto transcending. Its good for grinding offerings, but not good for particles.

Yeap. Actually had it running yesterday instead of going offline. Now i am at e1028. Which is still quite a bit away from ants but at least its moving into that direction while online.

Read these comments and was going to reply saying I've done the same thing, massively behind because I haven't been logging in whilst waiting for the patch. I look at the username and see this familiar name!

Hehe. Kongregate is a small place.
I also saw your name in the comments for the game ;)
But to stay on topic: The gain offline is really horrible. By just letting it run i am now at e1065.
Which leads me to conclude 2 things:
1) Offline gain should be improved (especially at points of the game when there is nothing to do but waiting anyway)
2) Personally i think e1200 is higher than it should be for ants. Would be better to put them to e950-e1000 since you can do the the challenge at e700-e800

Just adding something helpful this based on what I have done. After getting Cost++ done, I saved up a lot and got the superior intellect rune unlock at research 17x2. Just a few(7) levels in, and it has already increased my obtanium gain to 8.81% and offering timer by 2.8 seconds and does not cost a ridiculous amount per level starting off at least (Edit: Just got to lvl 20 and it is starting to get expensive).
This should help with farming unobtainium and offerings to then help out a lot with particle gain for unlocking the first ant.
