Fill the Greed Machine in one run
Hello guys. Been doing some research about this but I could not find any reliable method to get Greed Machine done in one run. Tips? Advices? If there are none, tell me anything to get it done asap please. Thank you very much

If you get the ''turn back time'' active you can just kill greed, donate, and do it again. After 3 or 4 times it'll get stuck much faster, but still you can do it.

In one run? All I could think of is trying to exploit the fact that Ultra Greedier spawns coins during his attacks, and abusing the Glowing Hourglass, but the GH has a chance of turning into the normal Hourglass in AB+, so that kinda falls short.

I'd recommend you to do about two runs with every character, one in Greed, one in Greedier. That way, your jam% will keep low, and you'll get the unlocks done much faster.

Without Afterbirth+, you can use the Glowing Hourglass, preferably during a game-breaking run, where you can beat UG in a few seconds.

The Glowing Hourglass was nerfed into oblivion and absolute uselessness (is that a word?) in AB+, however, always turning into the regular Hourglass after 4 uses.

So, if you got AB+, there's no way, unless you have some form of generating a massive amount of coins (Greedier Mode, 2nd form UG + A Card Against Humanity + Glowing Hourglass) AND get extremely lucky with the donation machine. Like "winning the lottery 10 times in a row"-lucky, which ain't gonna happen.

To sum it up:
Don't got AB+? Glowing Hourglass.
You have AB+? Grind, grind, grind and then grind some more.

I have AB+ but if I uninstall it just to do this will it still work?

Yes. But keep in mind it will be the most boring and slow way to do it.

Still better than doing a ton of normal runs or a few specific broken runs. Just doing it once and forever

I disagree, especially since you'll have to do it with everyone anyway (filling the machine quite a lot in the process).
Anyway, it's your choice.

I Dont Know If The Thing Saves Or If You Gotta Start Over But Why Not Just Switch To AB When The GH Doesnt Do The Thing?

I fully agree with this statement. I just restarted a save file and I'm at 673 coins, with 3 more characters to go in Greed, and without having touched Greedier mode.

You will have the machine fully filled before having finished your unlocks in Greed/Greedier, as long as you keep in mind that you should save some coins for it.
