Day 2 of trying to get mineral level 140

The AFK slog of grinding magnets is suuuuuch a bore. I'm on day 2 trying to get to mineral level 140, and have made a big stall at spawning level 127s. I got the 8 magnets per tick upgrade (took like 12 hours), and my VP upgrades to costing 12k magnets (another few hours), and the other magnet upgrades costing around 5k each, and its still taking like sooooo freaking long. Haven't been able to get any time flux because its actually more efficient to AFK with the game on than off. Maybe I'm doing something incredibly wrong here... I got my local game speed to 67x, but maybe its supposed to be much higher.

I haven't really been able to buy any relics for like 2 days, and when I do afford them I basically sacrifice right away.

Zodiacs, haven't really bothered to make new ones because its tedious and the benefit to making new ones is so minimal. At e19 quality compared to e18 there is hardly a difference in game speed bonus on Pisces (only real stat that matters atm, like going from 2.0329 to 2.0331). I've been on auto sacrifice for hours until it gets really, really diminishing returns, and now i'm auto selling zodiacs to try to get a smidgeon of extra game speed donuts (also can't mass buy those... for some reason...).

This stage of the game feels like AFK fest, and really needs something else to do.
