To those who are tired of waiting forever to get to 500 newspapers... Reset the game. The optimal way to play is to reset and use the additional AIs to increase your max gain rate instead of waiting forever to buy 1 more newspaper hoping to get closer to 500. Once your new game hits the same stall, reset again. You will increase your AI gain per reset quickly if you find a good rhythm.

Maybe the offline money-gain wasn't miscalculated, but just earned all the income that you normal lose due to some frame bug thingie

Note for end-gamers who don't mind a bit of arithmatic / excel use: The optimal purchase is the one that yields the highest income / time / $ spent (the marginal ROI). The cost of the next upgrade is f(n+1) = n*x, where n is the current purchase price, and x is 1.07 (Lemonade), then 1.15, 1.14, ..., 1.07 (Oil Rig). The n'th purchase is (base price)*x^(n-1).

Love this game and the reset system. Ive reset everyday since ive been playing as it makes the speed of building backup so much faster. Only currently at 800 investors but its increasing by more each day :)

i figured how to save your file without ever losing it.. once you click the export button it's like you copy something (for example a link with cntrl-c).. so after you click the export button open notebad and then just paste the strange link that you automatically copied. then if you ever lose your progress just copy the link from the notepad (that you previously saved) and hit import on the game.. Voila! your game is back! it's like a manual "savegame" option

$21,450,478,919,521,300,000,000,000,000,000,000. This is the cost of 500 of everything. 21.45 decillion. The cost of 500 news stands is
$18,136,548,556,815,500,000,000,000,000,000,000, 18 decillion. The last news stand will cost $2,365,636,768,280,280,000,000,000,000,000,000, that is, 2.365 decillion. A bit more than 1/10 of everything. Note: The Dev has stated this is a feature, not bug. Hurrah for exponential growth!

once you get into the nonillions the game slows to a crawl, hitting 500 in derricks is easy but 500 in newspapers will take weeks, need a bit more to do at the high end of the game please!

@Moontrooper - It' an idle game. You are not meant to sit in front of it watching your numbers spin higher. Take a break and play something else then come back.
@Tigerton1996 - You are going to buy all the upgrades anyway right? Why waste time adding a marginally useful way to scroll a menu, I would rather see more content.

I will write this one more time:
In the beginning this game is fun. When u have more then 10 billion angels investors and u realize u will have to resest about 20 more times to get 500 newspapers at any reasonable time, theres that dull feeling inside my head...
U REALLY nerfed the endgame speed way to much. Reduce the scaling cost on the early investements or this is just to boring even for an idle game..

Please add butoms on the top and lower side of the scroll bar in order to make it easier. I often find myself kinda struggling to get to a specific upgrade, and this is going to get worst once more upgrades are added.

I am extremely impressed that this game jumped straight above Game of Thrones in the month it has been on this site. Congratulations, fellow capitalist.

When you do a reset do you keep the angel investors you already have or do you lose those and get the new reset number?

ok there might be some sort of bug in the buying code, since it is more expensive for me to buy 10 shrimp boat to reach 300 shrimp boats total then it is to buy 10 oil companies to get to 310 oily companies total

If you feel like the offline calculations didn't work then try reloading the game. Normally when it happens to me it pops up the next time I get on.

Something tells me the offline mode is broken. I have 25 oil companies which should be generating around 6T every few hours. I went to bed last night, woke up today and opened up the game and found a mere 600B in funds. I don't actually think any offline calculations were done :(

You should add the option to purchase the car painting moon, house and boat or changing environment for kred's because a lot of people would like to help you financially

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.”

I really like this game. I don't even know why, but I do. The music is fun, very "Leave it to Beaver." But, one thing, I don't understand why the newspapers seem to cost a lot more exponentially than anything else. For example, currently I have 300 oil wells and to buy 10 more would cost $232qt, but I only have 290 newspapers and to buy 10 more would be$487qt. This seems like it's scaled improperly. Regardless, I still enjoy the game. I just like watching the numbers go up....and I'm a socialist.

So, I quite like the game, but I have a problem. No-one else seems to have mentioned it, but the text isn't really suited up to my screen.
On the Upgrades screen, lots of the text 'hangs-over' the right hand edge of the screen. For example, I'm reading "Funny Pages, Newspaper Deliveriy Pro...", and "Drive through W... Car Wash profit x3".
Other text hangs off the bottom of the screen. So, I don't have any idea what the donut shop or oil companies are earning me, other than guesswork and mental arithmetic based on how much my total goes up when they cash out for me.
I'm on an iMac, using Chrome, for reference. However, the issue goes away on Safari. (Don't know about Firefox: the game won't load...)
Any way to fix this?

The only major thing I would recommend is to have the upgrades disappear when you pay for the upgrade. I find the menus to be buggy (the menus don't fit within the box and sometimes won't scroll as the scroll bar takes the entire size of the bar).

I have kind of an interesting idea for the game. I've been asking if anyone knows how investors are actually earned, and a lot of us have decided it's by total amount of cash earned... It would be kind of neat to have an option where there are investors who will invest by certain achievements earned and only last a certain amount of time. Example: Earned the achievement for 100 lemonade stands, Reward would be 1 investor at 2% for the lemonade stand and lasts a total of 100 minutes. OR, 100 investors at 2% for the lemonade stand for 1 minute.
It could even get on larger scale than that, but it would add another aspect to the investors and cut down on the need to reset.
Great game though, definite 5/5, Thanks for uploading. I LOOOOVE upgrade games so much LOL.

Here is my opinion on the buy X feature. Add more amounts, (and possibly add a text field for custom amounts) and have 2 different effects, one for being able to afford 1 of the item, and another if you can buy your chosen amount. Such as grayed out for too expensive for any, lighter gray for buy one and the original color for buy amount. (Would probably need an override for the standard buy 1 option)

brilliant game. i've been playing for a very long time and just did a hard reset. one thing i've noticed is a bit of music playing, even if the sound is muted, when the game is starting. its like the game notices the mute half a second too late. which is quite annoying if im watching something and have my sound enabled. still. great game, highly anticipating update <3

I am upset at the developers. They clearly stole this whole concept from me. I started a single lemonade stand when I was five and have since parlayed that into the largest oil conglomerate in human history. You may have heard of my company Bpexxonshellracetraksunoco Oil company. I expect to receive a goodly sum of money since I clearly was the inspiration for this game.

Bug found (weird one): Running Chrome, Windows 8.1.newest. When the browser window is too small to contain the entire box with the game, including Kongregate's sidebar with game info and chat, then nothing can be clicked. Resizing the window fixes it. Not huge, but a bit irritating when trying to make the window just large enough to hold the usable area.

i cant actually see the money earned for the oil company's and donut shops since i usually have to zoom the game out and show all for flash and unity games to work right

What this game could really benefit from is events. It would keep people interested in it. I do not want to see this game succumb to user boredom, even if the developers themselves make the game worth playing. Just a thought. But I'm probably wrong because of the amount of interest in it at the moment. Still it would only benefit it by adding events.
