When to reset to maximise karma and paragon?

In kittens game, karma and paragon are obtained via resetting with more than 35-70 kittens, and greatly improve production as global accelerators, becoming almost a necessity past some stage. This question yields more details on why to reset.

I read there was a diminishing returns effect happening after 200 paragons, but these nevertheless take a couple resets to obtain, and even paragon is necessary for Metaphysics upgrades.

When should one reset in order to maximise paragon gathering ? (say, per day of play)

I noticed after Mechanization and Concrete Huts my kittens population seems to stagnate around 130 for a bit of time, so maybe that's a sweet spot, but what about resetting just after Ironwood Huts, or is it worth waiting for Unobtainium Huts ?

Best Answer

This is entirely down to your playstyle, and how quickly you can build your population.

The only sensible and universal answer I've heard when just trying to build paragon is "as soon as getting a few more kittens is slower than resetting and building population back up to earning paragon again." Every answer is going to be dependent on how quickly you can climb the tech tree, how much you can push your storage caps, and then turn those things into more paragon kittens.

How many karma points does it take to reset a kitten game?

Karma: Karma is gained when you reset with more than 35 kittens. Karma gives +10% happiness for having it, and 1% happiness for each point as well. This does have a diminishing effect to keep it from becoming too over powering.

When should I burn my kitten paragon?

You need normal paragon to complement it, so burn right before you reset (unless you go for the achievement).

When should I restart my kitten game?

the first run, be sure to reset when you'll gain at least 5+5+50=60 paragon (from 130 kittens)
