Before trying to crank big wheel on the bottom you need to focus on getting money to get some Torque so you can get presige points at some good pace.

Focus on gaining enough money to start spinning one of closest devices
Click the weel, buy upgrades as you earn money and aim in closest line to closest device.

That device will hel you progress faster through the game.


Start placing your gears in direction of closest one (I reccomend going to top right as it is closest one)



Also make sure to unlock placing angle to reduce wheels needed

Once you earn enough money to increase your Torque/Load you can start adjusting your gears to earn even more money, simply by palcing gears on gears to change their rotation speed.

Here are some simple designs.

1. Bigger wheel next to small wheel
(Increase torque, Reduce speed, Increase income)


2. Big wheel on small wheel
(Same torque, Same speed, Increase income)


3. Small wheel next to Big wheel on small wheel
(Increase torque, Increase speed, Reduce income)


As you can see torque changes depending on speed of final wheel. Due to those changes so will money income change from devices. More speed = more torqe and income.
Fortunately no calculation are needed as game does it for us.


But all we do care about is this part



Always try to aim to have biggest possible wheel attached to the device:
Small wheel







Bigger wheel

As shown before closest devices require 4 Torque to work, however you can tweak your mechanism to increase income at lesser cost.
As you can see you can incrase income and reduce load needed.


Here are 2 basic gear placement to reduce speed

Bigger wheel next to small wheel


Small wheel attached to top of bigger wheel

To maximize income you would need to spin your wheels faster. There are different gears that will help you achiving as much income as possible (cash gear).



Although more speed will give you more money, there is limit to that


no matter how you try


Reducing load will earn you more money, so when trying to get rich I would recommend to leave ascension wheel for a moment and tweak between Money Creators checking on the top income per secoud as sometimes it is better to have only one device connected than using max load and struggling with money.

Once you have upgraded your Torque/Load high enough you can remove all you devices and focus on main target - Ascension wheel. Here I would recommend on 1st ascnession to have at least 22.5 Torque/Load as that will make the process faster. You can still leave floating mechanism around, just make sure they are not connected to any device that will reduce your load, but if you like to make sure you maximize ascension progress you would have to remove them as they tend to jam from time to time. Plug all your power to Huge wheel on the bottom and leave it for some time before you ascend.

Here load is set to 0, i didnt bother to remove money makers




In bottom left corrner you can see how many ascension point you get per second with same principal as for making money - bigger wheel attached to your target the more point you will earn



*Note that clicking on your golden gear will speed up gaining points

You will unlock ascnesion upgrades, spend your points then,

rinse and repeat.
