Plan your next How To Grow a Black Hole session
Our independent guide breaks down each core element of How To Grow a Black Hole—feeding, upgrades, stability, real‑world comparisons, and leaderboards—so you can observe patterns, avoid collapses, and push your black hole farther than before without relying on undocumented tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Feeding Observation
Record the mass increase after each feed for the first ten actions. Note how the curve steepens and consider when an upgrade would noticeably improve the slope.
- Watch the mass indicator after each feed to see the immediate effect.
- Compare early‑game feeding rates with later ones to notice the acceleration.
02 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Impact Analysis
List all available upgrades and rank them by how much they speed feeding versus how they affect stability. Compare early‑game choices with later‑game needs.
- Prioritize upgrades that improve feeding speed early on.
- Use research to automate repetitive actions and free up attention for strategy.
03 / THE GUIDE
Stability Threshold Testing
Identify the mass range where collapses become frequent. Experiment by reducing feed frequency at those points to see if run length improves without sacrificing overall growth.
- Keep an eye on your black hole's stability so you can react before things get out of hand.
- Adjust feeding speed if your black hole starts to become unstable.
04 / THE GUIDE
Scale Comparison Logging
When a real‑world object comparison appears, write down the object and its actual size. Use this as a benchmark to gauge how far your black hole has advanced beyond ordinary scales.
- Note which real‑world objects you surpass for personal motivation.
- Read the unlocked facts to appreciate the contrast between game and reality.
05 / THE GUIDE
Leaderboard Benchmarking
Review the top entries on the Steam Leaderboard. Note common mass milestones and upgrade paths, then align your own progression with these observed patterns.
- Check the leaderboard periodically to gauge your standing.
- Use your rank as a goal for when to invest in high‑impact upgrades.
