I would love to see new achievements for 750 and 1000 of everything bough. It would take ages to get there, especially with news papers, but it would make the game last much longer.

So, lemme get this straight.
I hire Cabe Johnson for a thousand dollars.
He's whipping me up dozens of cups of fantastic lemonade a second, each of which I can sell for, say, a billion dollars.
But I don't have to pay Cabe another cent?
Alright! I love me some free labor.

I got far enough (300 of everything + all upgrades up to second tier AI) that I can now just watch my angel investors go up continuously in the setting screen. It's pretty magical.

It is a little crazy that even with almost 400 billion AI its still taking hours to days to raise just a few levels. I love this game, have been coming back multiple times a day for a few weeks now, Please keep it up, please keep updating and I can't wait for an anti-idle feature and more content!

From the June 25th update "We are now working on new End Game stuff, permanent achievements, Anti-idle features, and an upgrade system we’re calling “Synergy” that will make those ultra expensive Newspapers and Car Washes worthwhile." Dev needs to post a little sticky note by the character in game so I can stop spamming this comment to answer a "Oil vs nNewspaper" price commnt

If leaderboards come back, I'd be all for a full reset. Even though I haven't cheated (much), the time exploit moved me up about 1m angel investors.

To me a Fellow Player and Lover of your Game, and i think i speak in behalf many more, This is probably the most Desireable game. I Love it, it makes our inner Economist Alive!

just a minor bug i've found. im currently in-game using the "buy 10" function and the price from 300-310 for an oil rig (232 quintillion) is less money than the price from 290-300 for a newspaper (487 quintillion) is. perhaps this should be looked into

I have 16 billion AI and make roughly $2nonillion cash every 24 hours. Considering that just the 500th newspaper stand by ITSELF costs $133nonillion this is going to take many many months to achieve. I can increase my AI by about 1 billion more every day or so, but even so, it's a long way to go. Long. Very long. So to all those just starting, you have your work cut out for you.

I think it would help the newcomers if the developers make the information about the oil rig vs. newspaper price prominent somewhere else other than the updates. Playing other games, it’s not exactly common for people to read all the updates for all the games they’ve tried. People who have followed this game for a while know that there are important infos in the updates section, but new people don’t.

If I had 1 Angel Investor for every lazy gamer that doesn't bother to read the game updates that complained about the Paper Vs Oil price I could have 1000 Newspapers in about 36.7 seconds. READ THE UPDATES! For once we have a development team that actually responds to game issues.
I honestly can't blame them - I'd love to have the new Newspaper stuff in right this moment, but after our infamous First Update (shudder) we're going to take things a little more cautiously and QA friendly...

As for #3 on Jul 4th list... I can see how it may be confusing that you're able to press the x10 button, but after you figure out that it will only buy as many as you can afford, it's useful and not confusing. Once you know how it works, you sometimes use it, knowing that you'll only get 5 or 6 and that's fine.

All i want to know is why the newspaper costs more than the oil when it shouldn't and why paying more for something that makes less money than the most profitable item is fun.
Your criticism is well founded! Right now, buying newspapers and Car Washes is just a means to an end to get those sweet sweet Oil Rigs moving faster. It's just a long-game goal. But we'll be adding stuff that makes Newspapers and Car Washes cool again. Talk is cheap though, so all I can say is stay tuned!

how come when you approach 300 of each the first ones start to get more expensive ex. (10 oils from 300 to 310 cost 232 quint and 10 newspapers from 290 to 300 cost 487 quint)

Also, the start prices seem to change... In the making of the spreadsheet, I wrote down the base cost of each item, and some of them changed multiple times. Why?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I wish there was something that I could click to get more $. I just have it closed or running in the background trying to get to 500 newspaper stands. Tee-dee-ous.

Forget about the whole newspaper vs oil rig pricing controversy! I want to know why the oil rigs are more expensive than the lemonade stands???? Must be a bug.

Made a spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1neEgSs_qYayDuFp3BIq_OuuB0Hx_Tdb_dPqyjE8N9GE/edit#gid=0
Basically says that the business pay themselves off the quickest at around 25 of each, and then slow down quickly after that. And that later investments are far better off than earlier ones. Especially once you get into several thousand owned.
Things I'd like to see:
Fix the glitch that is causing money lost due to refresh rates.
Money per second indicator would be nice.
Managers to do different things than auto-collect. For example: Reduce percentage cost of future upgrades, Reduce time to collect, Increase profit earned, etc...
Add employees of business to do similar but lesser quality things as managers, but at lesser cost.
Add some more businesses.
Also, when the game goes full-screen, the side menu buttons seems to no longer be working.
Great comments Rauchster. Seriously - thanks for the feedback. Well constructed and thought out suggestions all. The full-screen stuff is on our list to fix, btw!

god please don't make it so the x10 button locks if you don't have enough, I always keep it on and it saves me a ton of time

For some reason 1 septillion=/=1 septillion. I had 24 septillion on me and bought 4 oil companies that were at 40+ septillion...?

RE: "Is it possible that Chrome's performance is affected, even when I have the game closed?"
I did a hard reset and chrome is no longer freezing up at all. Enjoyed this game but it's not worth the unresponsiveness every time i open a new tab. Even when the game is closed.

Great game and so good to see a keen development team behind it. I have no doubt it will be fixed in the next update but at the moment there's massive slow down in progression between 400 and 500 sets probably enough to make me quit if the updates weren't coming thick and fast :)

+hanni ICE It's not a bug, its intentional, it says so in the updates as well as the creators intentions to make it a bigger part of the game.

WTF?! Why are comments such as ''I think there is something wrong with the price of the Newspaper Delivery, I own 300 Oil Companies and only 290 Newspaper Deliveries, yet it will cost me 24.017 quint to buy 1 more newspaper when it only costs 16.885 quint for another oil company.. Am I missing something?" beind underrated, it's a bug fcs and if you have a reason for giving a negative rate, EXPLAIN.
If the weird price structure throws people off, then we certainly respect their right to a low score. But we've got plans! We've got big dreams, and they're hopefully coming up fast!

@P5ychoMant1s yes, the entire game is based off angel investors. Let's see you get a septillion dollars with no angel investors...

Prices are weird... After 300 all investments prices go backward so intead of Oil Company being overpriced, the newspaper delivery costs 5x more than oil company.

Am I the only that wonders why you would buy a monocle at 1 sextillion dollars when you just bought a moon base for a quadrillion?

Honestly I didn't think I would have played this game as much as I have. It's super addicting! great job! Looking forward to your updates!
