I was having a lot of fun with this, but I appear to have soft-locked myself out of this game :(

There is no explanation of compression or how it works. After I completed my second constellation and unlocked Automation (I don't know which was the activating event) the buttons suddenly became available to me. I clicked on x100, not knowing what it did. Now my production is so slow that it will be impossible for me to ever reach convergence. With all of my 205 pips assigned, I max out at only manage to make 0.02 /s for orange, purple, and green. And I am locked with this compression setting until my next convergence, but it is now impossible for me to reach it.

I really wish there had been some kind of explanation for what compression does. I still don't even know what the point of it is except that it locked me out of playing the game :(

I also wish there was a way to restart a run without reaching convergence. As it stands, I can't keep playing the game even though I want to

I got a similar issue, but i got inside x10 instead, lucky for me, i was able to complete it, i had to spend 10k null essence 4 times at x10 speed to get to 1000 white, i had nearly all my pips on primary, then, around 30 on orange, green, purple, 3 on amber, magenta, cyan, and only 1 on white, that it was draining a bit more than double than it got, the rest where mostly even, and i was producing 1 white per second of course, or that i would say if production was even, but as i mentioned, it was not, so you know, i spend nearly a day to complete it.

I did the same thing, had to hard reset. I don't think the compression is suppose to be there until you unlock it on the star chart's right side menu. It tells you what it does there, when it shows up.

The unlock is called "Essence Condensation". It's decription is "Unlocks Essence Compresion. Dense essence is worth 10x more during Convergence but fills tanks 10x slower." The 100x is a separate unlock.
