Now level 38. PC level 11. 70 videos. Over 58 billion views. Fan base over 5 million. Income is approximately 100 per second. Next video upgrade cost is 2,870,088. Money on hand is 986,000.
Here is a working strategy.
Keep you Idle Skill level equal to you active skill level. There is no point in taking it higher as idling is only effective at the game skill required level.
Only upgrade you PC level when needed by the current game.
Put all other money into upgrade video as this will increase you fan base and therefore your income.
Currently idling on skill level 24 PC Level 5. 50 videos with over 200,000,000 views and a fan base of 189,614. Money on hand 15,912.
I now have 594 miners. The cost of the next one is beyond reach even with my income 35 488 358 per second, at a whopping 714 020 628 916 038 800 000. Do the math, the time needed is ridiculous.
I have 1 miner, 0 railroads, and 261 mines, providing an income of 1,336,322 gold per second. You might want to consider a requirement of a minimum number of miners per railroad and a minimum number of railroads per mine. You might also wish to consider increasing these minimums with each purchase of a railroad or mine respectively.
Does the game end when you find the lute or does it just keep playing? I've had the game idling in the background for about 6 months and have yet to see the lute.
Today when I checked the game, my experience is at -41000%. I've had the game reset to negative experience a few times, but on previous occasions it was only about -3000% which only took about a day to recover from. This time it will probably take a couple of weeks.
