Yes, I started doing that as well. I have managed to max out the prestige bonuses, but progress is slowing down quite a bit once I get to the 3rd to last row. Still trying to find a way through so hopefully will have an update soon. Let me know if you find anything else out!

Yes, currently I am up to 8 plate forge slots, 4 upgrades in forge speed, and 2 upgrades in yield so I am able to get to one 4x multiplier after waiting about 15-20 minutes, which gives me enough blue plates to buy the game boosters after another 10 minutes or so. That way I end up with 8 game boosters. I was trying to include in this in an edit to my original post, but itch wasn't cooperating lol. Basically, as you get more plate forges and more upgrades try to reduce the number of multipliers you buy to get the maximum number of game boosters possible

***SPOILERS****For those who are having difficulty after the first supernova, I believe I have found a possible strategy that seems to be working well for me. It definitely takes some time, but you will be able to see some significant results.

**Note - You need the "Multi-Sac" prestige upgrade in order to make this strategy work effectively. 

1. After supernova, play as you normally would, but focus on the forges. After getting your first few forges, you want to unlock all of your artifacts. To do this, focus on the forge speed and yield artifacts. I found that the best method is to get two 2x multipliers first and then grind for a 4x multiplier. Once you have these you should be able to purchase another 4x multiplier rather quickly. Make sure you are purchasing artifact slots during this to add more multipliers. After getting 4 artifacts (2 2x & 2 4x), grind for the 2x artifact for blue, pink, and green. With this, you will be able to grind green more easily. Then purchase the 4x for blue, pink, and green. After this it is just grinding for the 8x for all 3 plate colors and purchasing artifact slots until you have all of them (Should be 9 in total).

2. Once you have all artifact slots, reset your artifacts and grind for two 2x multipliers and one 4x multipliers. With this, you should gain blue plates fairly quick. Then purchase as many 20x Blue Bonus game boosters as possible. After you have purchased and crafted all the boosters, you should get a significant boost to your blue squares.

3. After this focus on Fill Speed and Blue Bonus projects, specifically the ones that reset on prestige. Once you reach a point that no progress is being made, Sacrifice to gain the multipliers to all sacrifice categories (You will want to make sure you have "Multi-Sac" Prestige upgrade so that all categories get upgraded with the sacrifice). You may want to sacrifice multiple times, grinding for a bit in between to raise more blue squares. 

4. Once you feel that you have reached a point where you are not making significant progress with the sacrifices, reset your artifacts and boosters once again, but DO NOT PRESTIGE AND DO NOT USE YOUR BOOST.

5. Start the process once again for gathering forge multipliers (2 2x, 1 4x) until you can afford to buy the max number of game boosters again. This time instead of buying Blue bonuses, buy as many 50x Fill Speed game boosters as you can. 

6. Once they are crafted you will get a significant boost to game speed and should be able to reach Pink squares with it. Once you have the speed boosters crafted, use your speed boost that you saved to get as many squares and rows completed as possible. When your boost runs out and you reach a point that you cannot progress along the rows any more, reset your artifacts once again, but DO NOT COLLECT, SACRIFICE, OR PRESTIGE. 

7. Repeat steps 2-6, once again filling your artifact slots with blue bonus game boosters. Once they are crafted, you should get a much larger Blue Square collection because of the extra row multipliers you got from using the speed boosts. Collect the squares, max out progression on the fill speed and blue bonus projects and then sacrifice. Continue to repeat steps 2 through 6 until you either have little progression or you will receive a good amount of Prestige Points to make prestige worth it.

8. Once you are no longer making progress or you will earn enough prestige points, Prestige your game and invest your points. I recommend focusing on Lucky, Blue Bonus, and your Sacrifice multipliers to get more blue squares when using the 20x bonus boosters and then focusing on Fill Speed and Pink Bonus to fill in higher rows and collect more pink squares for the additional prestige multiplier and fill speed boosts.

Sorry if this seems a bit confusing, I am happy to explain more if you have any questions. So far, using this strategy I am currently up to Row 9 in Pink squares and nearly have the prestige tree maxed out. I hope this helps!
