![]() In the most simplified view of the game, you have the choice between several upgrades. The optimal solution being the one that generates you the most money over the long term. This is just the way the game operates, now lets talk about how one would go about finding the “optimal” solution. This means that the money you make in the early game becomes increasingly insignificant compared to the money you make later in the game. In the beginning your profit is measured in thousands, a few minutes later your profit is measured in millions, some time later in billions, trillions, quintillions, ect. Something else worth noting the amount of money you make follows an exponential curve. So as you progress further and further in the game, each single upgrade has an increasingly diminishing effect on your overall growth. Likewise, each upgrade cost more resources than that of the same type before it, further limiting growth.Īll the multipliers in the game operate this way, including the multipliers from angels and time multipliers (from reaching benchmarks in your business count ie 25, 50, 100, etc). Likewise, an additional multiplier of x3 would only increase your gross profit by a 3rd, and the next by a 4th, and so on and so forth. For example, the ‘monopoly’ upgrade increase your profit by 3x, or P * 3.The ‘monopsony’ upgrade increases your profit an additional 3x, or P*6, making this upgrade only 50% as effective as the first (it only doubles your money instead of tripling it). In addition, each N+1 cost more resources, further limiting growth.Įach upgrade you buy also has diminishing returns. As N gets larger, each additional N+1 purchase increases your profit less than N, and N-1, ect. For example, every business you buy cost more than the business you bought before it, and each additional business N contributes (total profit) * (1 + n/n-1). Allow me to explain why.īefore I begin I want to make note of a few things.Ĭash growth and ROI (return on investment) in the game are all governed by exponential decay. However, I believe it is close enough to the optimal solution so as to make any other additional optimization trivial. This strategy has already been suggested before, and this isn’t the optimal solution. To summarize it another way, the stupid robot buys whatever upgrade is cheapest as soon as it becomes available. The stupid robot knows that every time it spends money it makes money faster, and thus the stupid robot concludes that it should spend money on something every chance it gets. The stupid robot is not smart enough to do complicated mathematics to figure out the optimal upgrade sequence, they can only compare the value of whatever is on the screen. I have taken to calling this solution the “dumb robot approximation”. I have thought a lot about how the game works and the growth model for each resource, and I have come up with what I believe is a good approximation of the optimal solution. ![]() Keep at it, you’ll end up at the end evenutally. This way, everytime you do this, you should jump a numerical level, that is, go from un- to duo- or even to tre-xxxxx. Let that number get to 10-100x the old, then start this all over. Check the investment screen, you should see yourself rapidly bypassing your old # of angels into a new level. Typically, once you’ve gone through this cycle, you’ll have exhausted all your angel upgrades, your money upgrades and it’s looking like the next useful unlock is hours/days away. This should boost you into a new level of $ upgrades or managers. Then once you’ve plateaued, that is, you’ve bought all your $ upgrades, your managers, and all the numerical upgrades (# of lemon stands etc), and it’s looking like the next 100 or 250 will take weeks. When resetting, upgrade ONLY the multipliers. There are two types of angel upgrades, multipliers and raw number increases in the various categories. However, if its 1-2 xxxx angles you’ll be taking a cut of 10-20% for a 3x gain. Don’t do it if the payoff isn’t right, for example, if you have 10 xxxxx angels and a 3x upgrade is 9 xxxxx angles, don’t do it. Once you’ve reached a 10-100x increase in angels, trade them in.Īt certain points it’ll start asking if you want to trade your angels in. Often it will doing the upgrades, eventually you’ll taper out, then look at your angels. Some tips (I’m at the $10s of Tresexagintillion point)įigure out what will give you the next 10-100x in money.
