Creations

Creations are materials to be used to build various things in the game. Shadow Clones are automatically available from the start of every Rebirth; each successive Creation is unlocked by defeating a God, starting from Hyperion. These unlocks are reset at each rebirth and the Gods must be defeated again to make them available for creation.

Creations (including Shadow Clones) automatically generate Creating Power for you as you create them. The amount generated is impacted by your Creation Multiplier and the higher tier Creations generate more Creating power over time.

Creation Count (CC)
Creation Count is the number of Creations made per completed progress bar. This saves time, but also increases the Creating stat gained and reduces the cost of Creations per batch. It can be increased for 50 GP per CC.

Like Creation Speed, Creation Count will become essential for producing Monuments and their upgrades, and generate Shadow clones in a timely fashion.

Each completed Creation batch generates Creating main stat. This is increased by 5% per CC above 1: A CC of 1 gives 100% of the base Creating, a CC of 2 gives 105% Creating, A CC of 3 will give 110% Creating, etc.

CC also reduces total costs for Creations. While producing more Creations per bar will require more raw materials, the cost per Creation goes down. The total cost decreases by 5% per CC (up to 50%, then 2.75% per CC after): $$\text{CC} < 12 \implies (41 - \text{CC}) \times \text{CC} \times \text{DNDC mult} \times 2.5\% $$ $$\text{CC} \geq 12 \implies (CC \times 50 + 275) \times \text{DNDC mult}\,\% $$
 * Note: Costs are rounded. When a number is halfway (X.5) between two others, it is rounded toward the nearest even number.

Current Creation Speed
In the main menu, by hovering over your "Creating" stat (found under your avatar picture), you can see a "Current Creation Speed". This is the final modifier to the speed at which you created batches of creations (a batch starts out as a single creation, and rises with your creation count. so if your creation count is 50 then each batch will produce 50 units at once).

Each creation has a varying time cost per batch, and it is possible to actually reach a maximum speed for a specific creation, in such a case your creation speed is wasted, and you are only given 1 batch per tick (there are 33 ticks per second). This is called "black barring", because when that happens the progress bar becomes a solid color instead of animating a rising progression bar.

The formula is as follows:

$$Current Creation Speed = ( ( 100% + Creating Speed ) * Creating Stat Multiplier )$$

The Creating Stat Multiplier is a number between 1 and 10 which is calculated from your Creating Stat. It is not your actual creating stat. At at approximately 1e42 Creating you will receive the maximum Creating Stat Multiplier of 10.

Creating Stat
Whenever you make a creation or achieve a creating achievement, you gain a certain amount of Creating main stat score. Each stat point gives 5HP and 0.5 Attack stat.

Additionally, your creating stat provides a multiplier of up to 10x to your "current creation speed". This bonus scales logarithmically, and you can expect to achieve the full 10x bonus at 5.44452e+40 Creating Stat (54.445 duodecillion).

In the beginning, your physical and mystic stat will often be greater than your creation. However, creation can rise significantly higher. As your ability to generate divinity increases and your ability to create grows faster, you'll find yourself gaining more creation than physical easily. As a result, trying to raise creation becomes important to get farther than physical can take you.

Something to know is that what you create significantly affects the stat. If you just create clones, creation doesn't nearly as a fast as physical or mystic. However, if you create villages by auto-buying the materials for it and setting the limit to 0, then you will notice how much creation you can get. The higher up creations give more stats, but you generally want to aim for the highest creation you can easily create without going into negative divinity per second.

Creating Speed
Using god power you can increase a stat called "creating speed" (found in the god power menu). This creating speed is part of the formula for current creation speed. The worst price is 1 god power for 2% Creating Speed, while the best price is 3.509% per GP when you buy 1000GP worth. Most early purchases will be made at 1GP to 3.5% rate (10 or 100 GP purchases).

Additionally, every point of Crystal Power will give you +0.5% to your Creating Speed. This is additive. So if you purchased 350% creating speed using 100GP and have 40 crystal power, then your final creating speed is 100 + 350 + 40/2 = 470%

Note that the Creating Speed stat given to you at the god power menu is only the bonus creating speed. It starts out at 0% which means your basic creating speed is 100% + 0% = 100%

Creation Time
Each creation takes a certain amount of time to create a single batch of that given creation. Each creation has a specific base value for its needed Creation Time. This required time can be reduced to a minimum of 1 tick per batch with 1 tick being 30ms by increasing your Creation Speed to beyond a certain threshold.

One important thing to remember is that all these required amounts of CS are the minimal threshold meaning in order to actually profit from the time decrease you must have a CS higher than the given threshold CS value. Otherwise your practically wasting overflowed time due to rounding.

To calculate the minimum amount of required CS% to BB an creation (assumed creation multiplier of 1) we use the following formula:

$MinCS to BB = tBase / 0.03$

The table below has for each creation it's base creation time, it's minimum required CS to BB with a Creation Multiplier of 10 and minimum required CS to always BB creation.

Divinity Cost
After defeating Nephthys, you earn the ability to buy creations for divinity. Buying creations with divinity will significantly speed up creation of things unlocked by later gods as they take millions or billions of components. On the creation page in the top right corner, there is an "auto buy missing creations" toggle. When you begin the game, using this toggle increases the cost of buying creations with divinity by 20% [this penalty can be lowered by spending 3 god power per percentage point you want to remove]. This same toggle can be found on the monuments page to auto buy creations to build your current monument (it shares the same percentage penalty).
