contents We present a key algorithmic improvement to the generalized combinatorial Feynman--Vdovichenko method for calculating the critical temperature of the Ising model on Sierpinski carpets $SC_k(a,b)$, originally introduced in arxiv:1505.02699. By reformulating the method in terms of purely real-valued transfer matrices, we substantially reduce their dimension. This optimization, together with modern computational resources, enables us to reach generation $k=10$ for the canonical $SC_k(3,1)$ carpet. Extrapolation from these data yields the most accurate estimate to date of the critical temperature $T_c^{(3,1)} = 1.4782927(26)$. We further extend the analysis to additional members of the $SC_k(a,b)$ family and report their corresponding critical temperatures.
