A few dumb questions

[unclekrusty]

1. How much does the Cana-dough Exchange upgrade cost?
2. Why is the moon's investor attraction rate so slow?
3. What does the #/10 on the Black & Blue Friday event window indicate?

I can answer the third one.

The #/10 represents how many one-time unlocks you've earned through the event. These are your badges, gold, and MegaBucks unlocks.

1. 5 duosexagintillions

The second question is something more of a discussion and might have been answered by the developers somewhere. In the end it's a design choice.

Even though the game is free, Hyper Hippo wants to make money (like any company). One way to do that is to make the moon slow. That makes players buy gold to speed it up.

The devs specifically designed each planet to have a different "feel". Mars is meant to be an out-of-control growth frenzy; Moon is meant to be a slow, slow, steady grind with the occasional exciting moments of fast growth when you hit a big unlock; and the Earth is supposed to be the default experience.

(Currently the Earth's lategame is broken such that it grinds almost to a halt past about 4000 Newspapers, and is in fact mathematically impossible to complete, whereas the Moon takes a few months to complete even though progress feels slow in the early and midgame; but that's a topic for other discussions.)

yes this is it. The devs made a sticky about it back then i think. "after mars" or something like that.
