Apocrypha Diminishing Returns?
I'm wondering what the formula for the diminishing returns are? I had +105% apocrypha bonus and I sacrificed 2.8M faith, which according to the table (http://bloodrizer.ru/games/kittens/wiki/index.php?page=Religion#Apocrypha) should give me a 70% boost. Instead it only boosted it to +129% - only 14%. Is this because of the diminishing returns, or am I not understanding something?

Bonus%=((Faith/500) + 25)^0.5 - 5
It says so on the page you linked.
((2800000/500) + 25)^0.5 - 5 = 70%, exactly what it says on the table, definitely not the 14% I got. What I meant was are there diminishing returns based on the amount of apocrypha bonus you have previously accumulated.
The "Faith" in that equation is the total faith you've sacrificed across all resets.
I see. This is what I was missing. This is a really slow process I guess :/
Yeah. there was once a time where apocrypha didn't have diminishing returns. It was so ridiculous that Solar Rev and Apocrypha ended up being capped for a little bit until a good formula was made.
Well, 2800000 isn't all that much if you already had enough for 105% already.
