if you guys want to find out how much it would cost to buy how many of an item, use this (price you start with)*(1-(ratio of price increase, refer to top comments to find it)^n)/(1-ratio of price increase, refer to top comments), where n is amounts of the item you are planning to buy. For example, if i want to calculate how much it would cost to get newspaper from 1-500, it would be (60)*(1-1.15^500)/(1-1.15), equaling 893.2 nonillion. this means that to get 500 newspapers, you would need a total of 893.2 nonillion dollars.

"Oil Rig only costs 459,732,350,086,026 times (~460 trillion times) as much as it initially did." I have 318 of those but i pay 50 quadrillion dollars.

That's odd. Although I have nothing generating money with the singles cent .x(X) I am somehow generating a pennies.
Wat.

Its the same thing over and over. Does anyone read the comments? They made the game with the newspapers to be the most expensive thru time. Deal with it. Unity is not crashing or not loading. IT TAKE TIME TO LOAD. Have patience. If a box appears saying it have become unresponsive. DONT CLICK YES OR NO. It will load them the box will disappear.

how come the newspaper, pizza place and car wash become more expensive to upgrade then the oil company and the bank ? they should be WAY cheaper !

Great game 5/5 Grammatical correction: Speed of <> profits halved. (Not doubled, found in the Achievements). Really enjoying it so far. Especially at the beginning when I hadn't hired any managers and I was already at the pizza delivery service, frantically trying to click all the buttons at once XP

Not sure if it's just me, but every time I log in it takes multiple refreshes for unity plugin to not crash. Not sure what's up.

I want to submit My score [ Lemonade Stands ] And there is not option for it? Am I mssing something or does it auto do it? Or is it just bugged?

several upgrades cost more than the listed cost. Shrimp Magnets, green screens, and imported ice cubes are all iv'e noticed so far

@AnthonyK123: Angel Investors are like a prestige system. Once you earn a certain amount of money, somewhere in the trillions I believe, you have the option of resetting and starting with the amount specified on the reset button. Each one increases the profit of all of your businesses by 2%, so if you have 100 of them, your money is tripled, from 100% to 300%. As you can see, in the long run, these turn out to be huge lifesavers, and can shave hours off of your game time. Hope this helps mate!

So I think i may have found a bug in the game, I logged off and I had 10k angel investors, when i came back on I found that i only had around 8000 Angel Investors. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not so I shall post this and wait.

Tip: Don't even try for the 500 Achievement unless you have at least 15 Billion Angel Investors. Even then it is going to take a decent amount of time to complete it. Work Oil t 500, Lemon to somewhere between 500-800 an everything else to 400. Let AI's build to 500,000 minimum and then reset. Keep doing this and you will be amazed at how fast the money rolls in. With everything at 400 with all the upgrades 500 Oil rig tick at 4 seconds so the money rolls in like mad.

Possible additional stats: Time played this 'reset', time played total, number of resets, highest number of Angel Investors gained during a reset, total number of businesses and upgrades purchased, as well as $/Hr

I......lost my save file T_T goodbye 2 billion angel investors, goodbye game T_T... BTW still one of the best idle games I have played :D

manmadeofmayo what is that cost-of-return thing you are talking about? Whenever you buy something in this game, the profit is INFINITE... if you wait long enough. SO the important value is definitly the $/sec gain, not the "cost-to-return".

Yeah, I was pretty big on this game, watching the numbers fly by but the near exponential ramp just kills it for me. Reset, idle, reset, idle...I can see the impact of the AIs but I can also do math and the months long marathon this will take to finish is just too much. It's definitely a bar setter for all idler games, though.

Wonderful idle game. I would love to see each holding with a couple stats, such as:
-cost-to-return ratio over some unit of time (eg. if it costs $50 and returns $100, cost-to-return would be 2:1 / minute), which would allow for a better understanding of what would yield the greatest return
- Current return on investment over some standard unit of time, like a minute, so holdings can be compared to each other
- Feedback on the buy 10 showing how much you can buy or how much/how long to wait until all ten can be bought. This could be applied in general, so that a mouse-over of the holding's icon shows how many hours/minutes/seconds until you have the funds for purchase.
Thanks for the awesome game!

hey HyperHippo, i dont think you saw 7starHaku's comment and now that it isnt in the top comments, i feel i should repost it so that you can see (the comment had 165 +'s)
I've noticed that we're losing a lot of money due to a rounding error in unity. At 7 speed ups (out of a possible 16) the lemon-aid stand has ~75% progression per frame, which means every 2 frames half a bar of progression is dropped. Once all achievements are earned you get one payment while 384 full payments are lost every frame. The easiest way to fix this would be to put a "for(progression>100;progression-100)" between the "if(progression>=100)" and "money++". Hope this helps!

I have 5193199599 angel investors... I'm still nowhere near making enough money to get 500 news stands... the issue is that past 20 septillion, your rate of increased profit per new purchase is near nil. I reset my game and gained a few billion angel investors, that added a few septillion to my oil refinery revenue. When stuff costs nonillions of dollars, septillions just won't cut it... We need another tier of upgrades or something... unless this was intended to be an idle that takes months to beat with no new content for the vast majority of the end game...

If you're concerned about only buying in increments of 10 and not having your numbers end in 0, multiply the cost of the thing you want to buy by 20 and you will be able to afford 10 of the item.

There is positively no reason for a loan system. The key to making $$ is Angel Investors. Reset often. The last reset I did it took me 7.5 minutes to get back to 400 if each with all upgrades.

An option to sell would be nice! That way if we want to sell our "investment" in newspapers and focus on shrimp we can.

So, I had something like 13 billion angelic investors as best I can recall when I last loaded the game about a week ago. Now, when the game tries to calculate the amount of money I earned while offline... it crashes Unity Player. Best I can figure is that there was too much backlogged stuff to calculate. Kind of a bummer.

the only way i could see a loan working in the game is to pay 200% interest or something crazy. Once you get a few million Angel Investors money comes fairly fast

I consider Joshuazu's comment to be meant sarcastic, after all the dumb comments from people who blame random game makers for when their own stuff breaks down on them. Guess what, if you crash your car, you can not blame the performer of the song that was playing on the radio which was ended prematurely because of your inability to correctly drive a vehicle.

Hey devs we need MOAR upgrades please octillians are cutting it slow maybe for more upgrades and 600+ ? BEST IDLE GAME hands down
