Cash, Not Raw Data
Prestige Earnings increases Cash—not Raw Data directly. The 43.5M Chapter requirement does not become 25% smaller; extra Cash helps indirectly by buying upgrades sooner.

New Run vs Global Progress
What Carries Over After a Reset?
FEED THE AI separates normal run state from global progression. Finishing a route does not erase the Prestige it unlocked.
| Resets With the Run | Persists Globally |
|---|---|
| Current Cash | Completed ending flags |
| Current Skill levels | Unlocked Prestige |
| Current AI Perks | Active Prestige selections |
| Current Karma | Global progression |

Simulator-Backed General Route
Best FEED THE AI Prestige Order
Simulator Recommendation
Rational → Protector → Tyrant
This ranked first across all nine tested scenario/cadence combinations. It is an expected-value optimization, not a frame-perfect speedrun rule.
Why Rational First
HighFinder Chain provides broad multi-target value, while its +25% Earnings matches every other first Prestige economically.
Why Protector Second
MediumFinder Pulse adds another permanent Finder tool before the route shifts toward the high-HP-focused reward.
Why Tyrant Third
MediumVirus Helpers gain relative value as enemy Max HP rises. Third does not mean weakest.
Current Simulator Order Comparison
| Order | Rank | General Character |
|---|---|---|
| Rational → Protector → Tyrant | 1 | Strong broad progression |
| Rational → Tyrant → Protector | 2 | Rational first + earlier Virus |
| Protector → Rational → Tyrant | 3 | Earlier Pulse |
| Tyrant → Rational → Protector | 4 | Earlier high-HP helper |
| Protector → Tyrant → Rational | 5 | Delays Chain |
| Tyrant → Protector → Rational | 6 | Delays Chain most |
Different Order?
Do Not Restart
The recommendation is about efficiency, not access. Keep the permanent reward you already earned and complete whichever routes remain.
High-HP Scaling
Why Tyrant Still Matters Late Game
Virus Helpers deal 20% of target Max HP per successful hit. Their damage rises with the target instead of becoming relatively smaller like a fixed number.
40,000 HP
20% = 8,000 per hit
1,000,000 HP
20% = 200,000 per hit
Approximately five successful hits equal one target Max HP before other runtime factors. This is why Tyrant can be a strong late-game reward without being the general first recommendation.

FEED THE AI Prestige Troubleshooting
I beat the game. What do I do now?
Start another run and activate the Prestige unlocked by that ending.
Do I lose Prestige after reset?
No. Prestige belongs to global progression, separate from normal run state.
Can more than one Prestige be active?
Yes. Unlocked Prestige effects are not mutually exclusive.
Why isn't +25% making Chapter Data 25% faster?
It increases Cash, not Raw Data directly. More Cash can improve progression indirectly through upgrades.
Do three Prestiges give ×1.953?
No. The bonuses add to +75%, which is ×1.75.
I completed Tyrant first. Should I restart?
No. Keep the reward and optimize only the remaining endings.
Do I need all three endings?
Only for all three Prestige rewards and full route completion.
Which Prestige should I get first?
Rational is the current general simulator recommendation, not a mandatory rule.
