CIFI Milestone Timing: When to Press the Green Button

Stuck where → tap next: green button glowing? players say press it as soon as it appears.

I like these games and play them myself. Complete guides are hard to find online, so while playing I collect community experience from Reddit, add a little of my own notes, and put this site together—hoping it helps. Thank you.

Quick answer

Community Knowledge Green milestone button glowing? In one thread, u/QuirkyStage2119 says there is no benefit in waiting, u/Musabo says press it as soon as you unlock it, u/exiled_preest says “Green means go. So asap.”, and u/RazorSlazor says any bonus you get is applied retroactively.[1]

What did players say about waiting?

Community Knowledge The OP of “When should I press the green button?” has two expansions left and asks whether to wait until the end of a long run or consider anything else.[1]

u/QuirkyStage2119 says there is no benefit in waiting, u/Musabo says to press it as soon as you unlock it because if the button is there you are losing progression, u/RazorSlazor says there is no optimizing these and any bonus you get is applied retroactively, and u/Sweet_Dreams88 says “The moment it appears”.[1] One reply, from u/LiquorHardlyKnowEr, sarcastically says to keep waiting.[1]

What does “Green means go” mean?

Community Knowledge As u/exiled_preest puts it, "Green means go. So asap."[1]

What do players say about the M0 bulk-buy toggle?

Community Knowledge In “What does this button do?”, the OP asks about a toggle and says they haven’t noticed a difference whether it’s on or off.[2] u/FartyBathwater and u/ExpertOdin say it stops M0 from being bought on bulk buy; u/mog44net says that when lit it also buys Milestone 0; u/expedition60_captain says holding off M0 “was MAYBE a strategy a year ago. Mostly ridiculed.” u/NeedNameGenerator and u/thisrockismyboone describe a reason to hold it back: the less orbs you get, the less your TR requirement increases, which matters for “shorts”. u/Demiansmark: “Don’t push it!” The thread does not settle whether to use it.[2]
