The end game is when you get a hive mind. They can be doubled with honey, so after that prestiging becomes important again and your growth becomes exponential and you can push for infinity.
When you get to infinity remember that crashes the game values. Save up some value for a reset as I did so you don't lose your progress.
why is it that when i reach hive mind, prestige is important again exactly?
EDIT: Okay I didn't check my pollen because i got used to ignoring swarm. I was at 50k pollen but had like 258 Sx pollen inactive so when I swarmed, I was soooo afraid of having to painfully make my way back to hive mind because it took so long to do so. 5 minutes in and I'm already back in business like never before lmao.
