Apothesis in 100 days

[Raymond Martineau]

Anyone completed Singularity in 100 days?

I found a route that works on Very Easy, and it relies heavily on
running the tech tree to both Simulacra and Advanced Quantum
computing. Once those two pieces are cracked, fusion rocketry can be
reached by day 60. The main issue was getting enough funds for the
reality bubble. When work started on day 70, it finished on day 91.
The quantum computers placed there took three days to learn how to
become a god.

It's still not the best route if followed exactly, since it doesn't
describe how to get the 5 small warehouses with clusters. However, my
rough notes are as follows:

50 servers in best location.
research Intrusion fast
Personal P ID fast
Exploit 300 cpu, Sociology 60.
At ~10000 cash, build 5 data. 550 cpu at Exploit
Exploit done, then 250 telepresence and 200 Adv. P ID
Telepresence done, 500 Parallel Computtation (redirect Adv P id to
Parallel)
Sociology done, 80 Media manip.
Parallel done, 250 Adv P. id
Get 75000 cash, Dmall warehouse in beta. Build 25 clusters there.
(pause research during build)
Adv. P. id done, 600 Voice Synthesis, 200 Microchip design.
At 80000 cash, build second small warehouse with clusters.
When done, 2000 CPU at Voice Synthesis.
Day 23: Kill the 50+ servers, and uni comp.
When Voice Synth done, 1000 CPU to Microchip.
At 150000 creds, Build large warehouse with cluster.
Microchip done, do 3000 CPU on Advanced microchip. and 500 on media
manip.
At 125000 creds, build second large warehouse with cluster. (No
Mainframes.)
Media manip done, 500 to Autonomous behicles, 500 to memetics.
Second large warehouse done, research memetics fast.
Autonomous veh done, 2000 to Advanced autonomous
Memtics done, 2500 to adv media manip.
Build a 3rd large.
Start 2000 on Quantum computing, and 4000 on adv media manip.
At 500K creds, put 25x mainframes in small warehouse. When done, 5000 -
> Quantum, 5000-> Simulacra
When quantum done, 1000 -> Autonomous computing. Try to get
supercomputer small warehouse.
Once you have a small warehouse of supercomputers. 10000 -> Autonomous
computing.
Then 15000 -> Adv Quantum computingr
When Adv quantum done, start filling your bases with them. Oh, and
10000 to Simulacra.
Once first quantum done, Fast reasearch Simulcara, Leech Sat, Lunar
rocket, Fusion react, Fusion rocket, space-time, and apoth.

Still, have fun.

Meh, if you're willing to abuse the day-23 restriction, you can finish
a lot faster than that. Just run exponential growth with server
access. They build instantly, so the doubling time is going to be
something under two days. 10 doublings (at something under 20 days)
would get you 50,000 bases and 600,000 CPU/day, at which point you can
blaze through the earth-based tech tree in no time flat. Might have
to build a warehouse to supply CPU for building the moon base, but I'd
still be surprised if you couldn't win by day 50.

Of course, all of this completely misses the point of the game. Try
to get a fast time on Normal instead, that's at least a fair
challenge.
