[Star Wars] How far into the secret of immortality did Sidious delve?

According to the novel of REVENGE OF THE SITH , Sidious tells Anakin to live and it mentions him willing the Force to keep him alive....yet we know he did not get as far as Plagiues. Discuss.

Plagueis didn't get far either. He only could regenerate parts of his body but he died. Edit: to clarify, Plagueis could resurrect people but with what he knew he couldn't resurrect himself, so... useless.

Palpatine knew he needed more to be really immortal, a shitty resurrection and some nice body regeneration isn't enough.

The clone stuff was better than what Plagueis had.
