The level limit?

[thebigh]

As you keep going, there's seemingly just more and more levels. When does it end?
I think one of four things will happen:
1. The boring ending: The levels just stop arbitrarily. This can be caused by the game running out of levels where the goals were manually picked.
2. The ceiling ending: Eventually the goal hits 2147483647, the limit of numbers in the game, and the goal for each level is 2147483647, forever.
3. The out-of-bounds ending: Eventually the goal *passes* 2147483647, but you can't make numbers higher than that, so the level just becomes impossible.
4. The wraparound "ending": Eventually the goal passes 2147483647, but due to integer overflow, it wraps around to -2147483648. Then, eventually, the goal goes back into the positives again, and the cycle repeats.

The goal hitting 2147483647 seems to actually be reasonably possible, as the goals seem to increase exponentially. I'm not sure though, I'm only on level 20.

I'll just say this: The goals are never manually picked. They are randomly picked, most likely within a set range per level. This applies both to the Hub's level and the upgrade tiers. It was the same in the previous incarnation of this game, "Beltex."

Also, goals don't increase exponentially, they just seem to at first, but once you hit four digits things will visibly "slow down" while still being bigger increases than the previous tier. Compare "3, 14, 65" to "2057, 2803, 3917."

Here's some of my level numbers, growth between levels seems to vary greatly, average for these is 8.7% increase per level, but need more data to hone in more on how it's determined. If it's the ceiling ending, I'm hoping to get to it... I need closure.

If it's ~8% average growth then it would go until around level 180 before hitting the cap.

71: 359983
72: 364341
73: 382533
74: 422642
75: 498653
76: 515385
77: 555962
78: 631448

I'm with you on the closure. I just came here wondering what level everything ends at. I'm approaching LVL 100 for the belt speed. If it continues past 100 then I will assume it will be maxed at the ceiling value. cough** cough ** IF only the developer would answer! ** cough * cough

The max hub level is 1000. The max upgrade levels are 128 for belt,
12 for extractor and 108 for other buildings.
